Skinny yet packs powerful hardware underneath
HP is reportedly working on a follow-up to its Omen Transcend 16 gaming laptop: the ultra-slim Omen Transcend 14.
Images and a full specifications sheet have been leaked by Windows Report revealing the machine will weigh roughly 3.5 pounds (about 1.6 kg) and is less than half an inch thick (18 mm, to be precise). The Transcend 16 by comparison is significantly heftier, clocking in at 4.79 pounds and 0.78 inches thick. Despite the skinnier form factor, it appears HP won’t be pulling back on performance as the laptop may have a decent amount of power inside it.
It’s worth mentioning the source of the leak seems to be a press kit of sorts. One of the pictures boldly proclaims that this laptop is the “world’s lightest 14-inch gaming laptop”.
The machine will be running on one of two Meteor Lake processors with the more powerful option being the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H. Consisting of 16 cores, 22 threads, and a 24 GB memory cache, the CPU has a maximum clock speed of 5.1 GHz.
