The OMEN Transcend 16t-8100 gaming laptop deserves its own callout for its high refresh rate display. The screen measures a spacious 16 inches with a resolution of 1920×1200 and a refresh rate of 165Hz.
The higher the refresh rate, the smoother your gameplay will be — and that’s key if you’re into fast-paced games where every second matters. Other cool features include a 1080p webcam, a full-size RGB backlit keyboard, and a giant 97 watt-hour battery.

If you’re in the market for a long-lasting laptop with a luxury feel, the HP OmniBook X is a good option to consider.
Although we haven’t tested this specific model yet, laptops with Snapdragon X Elite processors tend to have amazing battery life, as we’ve seen with the Surface Laptop 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge. We expect similar results from the OmniBook X.
It also has a gorgeous 14-inch 1400p touch display and a whopping 1TB of SSD storage. You really can’t go wrong with this one.
