    HP OMEN 17 in-depth review

    The HP OMEN 17 (17-db0000) is a big 17.3" machine that packs powerful hardware. This includes AMD Zen 4 Hawk Point-HS CPUs and NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPUs with hefty power limits. We have no complaints regarding the upgradability. The port selection is also rich but its only con is the lack of Thunderbolt 4 connectors. The cool the thirsty hardware, HP has fitted a huge cooling under the bonnet. The manufacturer claims that the pair of large fans are 2.5 times slimmer and sport twice the blades compared to the older fan design. We can hint that the thermal system is good and we are impressed that the noise during gaming isn't high at all (for such a notebook).You can choose from two 16:9 IPS displays. The base one is a 1080p unit with a 144Hz refresh rate and the optional model is a 1440p[...]

    Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

    Opening the HP OMEN 17 (17-db0000) Hint: Always turn off the laptop and unplug it before disassembly.Undo the eight Phillips-head screws holding the bottom panel. The bottom screws are not captive, while the rest are. Begin prying from the area below the LAN port using a thin plastic tool. Work your way along the side, then the front, and the other side to release the internal clips. Finish by popping the rear to fully detach the panel.More info: The bottom plate features a network of plastic and rubber elements that enhance the chassis’s structural rigidity.[...]
