Pretty premium built gaming laptop that is (relatively) thin and light. Closest competitor would be the Zephyrus G14 but similar configurations of that are over a thousand dollars more. Do bear in mind that the RTX 4070 in the laptop has a paltry TDP of 65W stock so performs more like a full power wattage 4060 albeit more quietly and with less heat. I have seen people flashing a higher wattage 4070 vbios off the VIctus to up it back to around 90W which puts it back in close contention with the G14.

    Guys will this unit get maximum potential from the 4070 compared to larger , more industrial and less portable laptops like 16 inches Predator with 330W A/C adapter?

      Read my post mate but in short, no. (Unless you flash a higher wattage vbios)

    thin and light with a 7nm production node plus an RTX4070. Might run hot and loud with a bit of throttling

      Per reviews, it's actually one of the quietest and coolest 14 inch gaming laptops (not that high of a bar to be fair), even compared to ones running modern AMD chips. It does have a lower GPU TDP due to that however.

    1.63KG with a 4070? Impressive

    • Bonesaw321 on 01/04/2025 - 21:14

      impressive indeed

        It's unclocked according to OP, 65w instead of 115w. Bugger.

        According to review benchmarks, about 35% slower than a full 4070. That's almost 4060 performance, not much point

          nope, its absolutely worth it if you are constantly travelling, at 1.63kg obviously they would have to nerf its max power, considering its macbook air 15 weight with 3k oled 120hz screen and better performance than a 4060. To some maximum portability is worth it.

  • boomy on 01/04/2025 - 19:29

    I guess next best thing to those that missed out

      I'd argue that you can't compare a 14 inch laptop with a 17.3 one, but yes, that does offer much more performance per dollar. There is also the Legion Slim 5 16 inch with a Ryzen 9 processor and a much more powerful 4070 on sale for $2,199 on the Lenovo website for someone after pure performance.

      • Phoebus on 01/04/2025 - 20:23

        Lenovo is the better deal if it's gonna be mostly on your desk connected to an external monitor.
        The HP is much more portable and comes with a very nice OLED display.

        • kaikor on 01/04/2025 - 20:57

          But how about reliability & build quality compare to Lenovo?

          • Phoebus on 01/04/2025 - 21:34

            @kaikor: I have a 2 yo 16" Victus which I'm happy with. However it rarely moves off my desk so hard to judge durability.
            I assume the Lenovo Slim 5 is pretty good though.

          • greatlamp on 02/04/2025 - 08:12

            @kaikor: I have the legion slim 5 14, the build quality seems OK but it isn't thinkpad level. The touchpad is not responsive enough and there are a number of power related issues.

            On USB C power it is locked to a low power state (CPU less than 1ghz) regardless of what settings you use. On battery it works fine.

            The CPU fan turns off when in sleep however the CPU produces too much heat so it gets to 90C plus. I've had to disable sleep and use hibernation

            This is with the AMD cpu, I imagine you would have better experience with the Intel versions. When looking up these issues they have been reported 1-2 years ago by others, it seems long term support isn't happening

      • Phoebus on 01/04/2025 - 20:24

        I probably would have got the Lenovo if you could get the 500 nit screen option on that one.

      • elvines on 02/04/2025 - 09:36

        Hello can you please link this, I only found a ryzen 7 with 16gb for 2199

    • Bonesaw321 on 01/04/2025 - 23:09

      That laptop is almost 3kg lool. This laptop is macbook air weight perfect if you constantly travel

  • GuniGuGu on 01/04/2025 - 19:36

    I want to hook this up to my KVM Switch via USB-C, except that usb-c doesn't deliver power, is there anyway I can add power onto that? My current laptop has two usb-c ports, so one is in the KVM and the other is just power.

    Update: Nevermind, just realised it has 2 USB-C ports :)

  • Phoebus on 01/04/2025 - 20:21

    on a positive note, it does come with a full size 2280 NVME slot.

  • OblFa on 01/04/2025 - 20:32

    Need some help deciding on a new laptop for university and for gaming. I'll be studying overseas so I need a very portable solution as I'll be flying back and forth often. I'm looking for something probably 14 inches, at least a 4060, and as discrete looking as possible. My looking to spend around 2,500. I'm tossing up between this and the TUF A14, with the HX 370 and 4060 for 2,399 at JW. Any thoughts?

    • Phoebus on 01/04/2025 - 21:38

      AMD Ryzen is generally better for battery life and portability. The TUF A14 sounds good for what you need. This HP deal isn't bad with a nice OLED display but not the best for battery life and portability.

    • Promistaker on 01/04/2025 - 22:00

      Get the Acer Swift Go 14 with Ryzen 7 Oled 2.8. An excellent laptop and priced around $1199 at OW.

      • mariom on 01/04/2025 - 22:19

        Where did you see that price? It's showing $1497 at OW online.

        • Promistaker on 02/04/2025 - 05:49

          Oh No, the price has gone up, just two days ago it was $1197 :(

      HX370 eats this for breakfast anytime of the day, and thats speaking from someone currently own a u9 185h device. check jarrods review of the omen 14 - doesnt even beat 2023 7940hs rigs for gaming benchmarks

      the tuf 14 is also more discrete looking as far as 'not a gaming laptop' goes (the pudding keys on the omen …yeah), and when you factor in other nice to haves like the spare m.2 slot, and all that?

      look if you really love oled sure omen but then legion slim 5 14' would have been the better pick

      • OblFa on 02/04/2025 - 06:53

        Looking at G14 2024 with a Zen 4 Ryzen 9, 32GB RAM, and 4070 delivered from the US through eBay for around 2800 (Used of course). Would you say that was a good buy compared to the local market?

  • SuperBoi on 01/04/2025 - 20:38

  • benchman on 01/04/2025 - 23:03

    What would the battery life of this be for the average user/not gaming (vids, work, online etc)?

    • Butt Scratcher on 02/04/2025 - 02:25

      IMO notebookcheck is a great source for laptop reviews, they say around 8.5hrs

      https://www.notebookcheck.net/HP-Omen-Transcend-14-laptop-re…

      Pretty typical of these kinds of laptops imo.

      I haven't shopped for a laptop in a while, but last I checked OLED panel battery consumption can vary wildly depending on the brightness and content you are watching. Notebookcheck normalises all their laptop to around ~150nits i think it was for their battery test

      I wouldn't exactly call this a desktop replacement. It's almost the weight and thickness of a 14" MacBook Pro

    so performs more like a full power wattage 4060

    by that, you mean the u9 + 4070 performing slower, as tested by jarrod

    • than a 7600s with 7735hs (6800hs rebrand, a gen and half older compared to the ultra 9) in 2077 @ 1080p and barely faster @ 1440p

    • than a tuf 15 (dont remember this being sang with any praise) with a 6800H and 3060 in rdr2 @ 1080p & 1440p and control @ 1080p

    • than a nitro 5 with 12500H (two gen older) and 4050 in control @ 1440p

    4070? Gimped 3070 maybe. If you sacrifice so much for that supposed portability (and not really beating out in portability over competitors like legion slim and g14), dont see a point with supposed high specs

    • meong on 02/04/2025 - 00:29

      Like a full power mobile 4060 would be the correct term here.

      I had a full power mobile 3070Ti that was able to beat most full power mobile 4070.

      All mobile 4070 even at full power have less TGP than the max TGP you can find on mpbile 3070 Ti.

      But this Transcend has even more crippled mobile 4070.

      At 14:00 JT even said that its not much faster than mobile 4050.

      • OblFa on 02/04/2025 - 08:11

        Yes a full powered mobile 4060 is what I meant

  • CalmLemons on 01/04/2025 - 23:50

    Damn was about to. buy a macbook pro16"/air 15" but this is so much more enticing even though I just need desktop work.

    Only thing is HP though, because I've had 4 HP laptops and all 4 have had a part broken, mostly the screen gives out.

    • Butt Scratcher on 02/04/2025 - 02:30

      By screen, do you mean hinges?

      If it is, I'm pretty sure its a much harder to stuff up on metal body laptops (like this one), since manufacturers USUALLY bolt/screw the hinges onto the metal frame

  • Butt Scratcher on 02/04/2025 - 02:40

    It's a bit of a shame that razer doesn't really sell their laptops at retailers in Australia anymore, so it's hard to find the newer blade 14 at a reasonable price.

    On the upside, Asus seems to have adopted a similar build to the razer blades

    • OblFa on 02/04/2025 - 06:35

      Unfortunately, it seems like the mark up on Zephyrus G laptops are particularly egregious here in Autralia

        Which model and countries are you looking at?

        I can see at the moment Best Buy US has a 32GB / 5090 G16 for 4,400USD = 7000AUD at best

        JW Computers has a 64GB / 5090 model for 6,900AUD

        Given we have double the ram for 100 less I’d say our prices are better

        • OblFa on 02/04/2025 - 12:08

          G14 2024 4070 is commonly on sale at Best Buy for 1700 USD but seems perennially at 3700AUD here
