Pros
Pro Standard, non-flashy look
This laptop is great for those who dislike the overly-gimmicky look that other gaming laptops go for. It doesn’t have big, stylized ventilation holes or dedicated gaming buttons or switches. The keyboard only has a plain red LED backlight, with no customization. The only outward indication that it’s a gaming laptop is the Omen logo at the back.
Pro Relatively portable for a gaming laptop
Compared to other gaming laptops, it is very slim--only 32mm thick and weighing 3.35 kg.
Pro Great display
The display is capable of producing 173% of the sRGB color space and has very good viewing angles. If calibrated, the laptop can be used for color sensitive work.
Pro Higher-end configurations can play 4K games at decent framerates
Even when purchased with minimal specs, you should be able to play comfortably in full HD resolution. Higher-end configurations with the nVidia GTX 1070 graphics card will allow you to enjoy 4K gaming in medium to high settings at playable framerates. The screen implements G-Sync technology that further smoothens action and prevents tearing.
Cons
Con Has issues with cooling
Due to its narrow ventilation holes, the cooling fans need to spin faster in order to cool the laptop down. It can become so hot that it may become uncomfortable to touch the laptop, though the performance doesn’t suffer and doesn’t cause noticeable thermal throttling.
Con Comes in only one color option
The laptop comes in only one color option without the possibility to order a different one.
Con The speakers lack bass
The speakers are loud, but they lack bass.
