Features

OMEN Transcend 14 is a 14-inch gaming laptop that is lightweight at 1.63kg.

Up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX4070 can be installed.

The CPU is equipped with the Core Ultra series.

Gaming headset included as standard

The OMEN Transcend 14 comes with a 20,000 yen headphone.

This was made possible by HP's decision that people who buy gaming PCs also buy peripherals at the same time.

The installed headset is “Hyper

This is a wireless headset that can be used with surround sound, and is a gaming headset that has a good reputation among streamers.

Thickness 17.99 mm

The OMEN Transcend 14 has an ultra-slim body measuring 17.99mm thick.

The weight is 1.63kg, so I think it is an easy size and weight to carry.

Collection and recommendations

If you just want to play games, I think the RTX4050 equipped model is better.

If you also do creative tasks like video editing, choose a 32GB memory model.

design

The computer body is made of aluminum alloy.

The luxury logo is printed on it, giving it a luxurious feel.

Size is approximately 313mm W x 233.5mm D x 17.99mm H. It feels like a traditional 14-inch size. I think this is an easy laptop to carry around.

The bottom also uses an aluminum chassis like the top panel.

It has a large intake opening, so it has a structure that allows for easy performance.

A 140W AC adapter is included. It weighs about 2.1 kg including the main body.

It can also be charged using any USB-C charger that supports 140W output.

a screen

Screen size is 14 inches. The installed panel is an OLED panel and the viewing angle is wide.

Glare type with noticeable reflections.

If you are concerned about this, we recommend using anti-reflective film.

Color gamut

The display's color gamut was 100% sRGB coverage and 99.1% DCI-P3 cinematic color coverage.

I think this is the perfect monitor for watching video, editing video, and developing RAW files.

Keyboard/touchpad

Adopts grid-less keyboard with excellent design

The OMEN Transcend 14 uses a non-mesh keyboard.

It has been designed so that you can enjoy RGB lighting around the keys.

It has a sleeker look than a typical laptop.

The keyboard uses a full-size JIS layout.

The keyboard itself has a solid sturdiness, so keystrokes feel good.

The touchpad uses a touchpad similar to that of a typical laptop.

performance

Cinebench R23

Cinebench R23 is a benchmark program that measures CPU performance. The higher the score, the higher the performance.

Multi-core performance is 12,305 points and single-core performance is 1,603 points.

This is decent performance for a model equipped with the Core Ultra.

Maximum performance doesn't seem to be that high.

3D Mark Time Spy

Benchmarking software designed for heavy gaming titles.

Most of the scores were in the top tier for 14-inch laptops.

Comfort for extremely heavy gaming titles

Frame rates comparison for Cyberpunk 2077 Full HD Ultra presets.

The average fps is lower than the RTX4050, and I think there is a difference in the output.

You may need to adjust the picture quality to play comfortably.

Comfort for heavyweight gaming titles

In the game-heavy title Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the resolution was 109 fps at Full HD.

Although the GPU power is slightly lower than the RTX2070SUPER, you can game comfortably using DLSS technology.

Compare video editing workflow

Blackmagic Blox Generator

Using the Blackmagic Proxy Generator software included with DaVinci Resolve video editing software, we will compare the speed of generating proxy data for 12GB of video data.

Proxy creation was about 20 seconds slower than the M3 MacBook Air, but comfort was about the same.

Compare encoding speed with YouTube presets

Compare encoding speed for a 12-minute project.

Comparing encoding speeds, this was also a little slower than the M3MacBook Air, but I think the performance is in line with the GPU's performance.

Continuous battery run time

The results of the high-quality video loop test are as follows.

When compared to the same 14-inch laptop, this was the shorter result.

As expected, if a GPU is installed, the continuous battery operation time will be shorter.

Computer temperature and fan noise

This is the result of a 30-minute episode of the Final Fantasy 15 benchmark.

The performance of this computer has been adjusted so that the CPU runs at around 65 degrees Celsius.

It's easy to use. The computer itself does not heat up and the fan is quiet.

The GPU is also temperature controlled to operate at around 60 degrees Celsius.

As a result, the frame rate drops when changing scenes, but I was mainly able to play at around 80fps.

I believe you can maintain a comfortable level when playing high-resolution games.

Surface temperature

The computer's surface temperature reached a maximum of 45°C during benchmark testing. Be careful because the temperature will only rise in one place.

Loud fan rotation

Fan rotation sound was measured when exporting video. It was 44.3 dB.

It's quieter than a typical gaming laptop, but loud enough to be concerning.

Summary If you want a gaming laptop, this is it.

The OMEN Transcend 14 can perform creative tasks on par with high-end models.

I can recommend it to anyone who wants a gaming laptop to carry with them daily.

On the other hand, lower power consumption is associated with lower performance.

It is also true that it is not a very attractive product for people looking for a fixed device.

The following points should be noted:

  • Since it is designed for easy portability, the performance does not improve much.

This is a worrying point.
