If any reader is lucky enough to own HP's OMEN 15 series notebook from ten years ago, they will definitely be impressed by its simple and tough appearance.
The first generation of OMEN products, which are regarded as classics
IN THE DECADE SINCE, THERE HAVE BEEN FEW OMEN LAPTOPS THAT HAVE IMPRESSED ME IN TERMS OF LOOKS, UNTIL THIS YEAR'S OMEN 10 SLIM 14 APPEARED.
HP hasn't released a small-size + high-spec independent display notebook for a long time, how is the measured performance of this new product?

The right side of the fuselage
Rear fuselage
It is configured as follows:
Ultra 9 185H processor
RTX 4060 8GB 独立显卡（65W）
32GB LPDDR5x 7467MHz 内存
1TB SSD
14英寸 2880×1800分辨率 100%DCI-P3色域 120Hz刷新率 OLED镜面屏
厚度 18.0~18.7mm
Weight 1.66kg
The adapter weighs 470g
The reference price is 11699 yuan
Its advantages and disadvantages are as follows:
Merit!
1. The first batch supports the public version of PD3.1 protocol, which can be adapted to 140W PD3.1 charging head
2. The design of the keyboard keycap is relatively novel
3. Internal blowing for heat dissipation, good core temperature control
Shortcoming!
1. Direct connection to the independent display is not supported
2. The wide color gamut screen is not calibrated, and there is no color gamut switching
3. The internal expansibility of the fuselage is average
【Upgrade Suggestions】
It is not difficult to disassemble this laptop, and the back cover can be removed by removing all the screws on the bottom surface, but the buckle is relatively tight, so you need to pay attention to it when disassembling it.
The dual-channel 32GB LPDDR5x 7467MHz memory is designed for most applications, and the memory is onboard and non-replaceable. The SSD has a capacity of 1TB, the model is the Western Digital SN810, supports PCIe 4.0×4 and NVMe, and the machine has only one M.2 2280 slot, which can be replaced if needed.
【Purchase Suggestion】
1. Like the exquisite appearance design and workmanship
2. I want to balance performance and portability
3. Have the economic conditions of abundant pockets
OMEN Shadow Elf 10 SLIM 14 is quite different from the traditional Shadow Phantom 10 in appearance, relatively thin and light body + white color matching + OLED mirror screen + unique design of translucent keycaps, the overall appearance is very high, of course, the price is not low.
In terms of screen, the measured color gamut volume is 123.9%DCI-P3, and the color gamut covers 99.9%DCI-P3. Using Display P3 as a reference, the average ΔE1.87 and the maximum ΔE7.09 were used. The measured maximum brightness is 412nits, and the maximum brightness in HDR mode is about 671nits. (Full brightness DC dimming)
In terms of interfaces, there is a Thunderbolt 4 (support PD3.0 and DP video output) interface and 3.5mm audio jack on the left side of the fuselage, two USB-A 10Gbps on the right side of the fuselage, and a USB-C 10Gbps (support PD3.1 and DP video output) and HDMI2.1 (independent display output) interface.
In terms of noise, it has a decibel level of 53.6dB at full load and 54.5dB in strong cooling mode. (33.5dB ambient noise)
In terms of battery life, in the integrated display mode, the test score of daily application of simulation scripts is 5 hours and 40 minutes.
OMEN 暗影精灵10 SLIM14有黑白二色以及可选U7/U9配上RTX 4060/4070,售价从10699元至13699元。
So if you want a high-value independent graphics all-round laptop, then this notebook can be considered.
But if you want more extreme gaming performance, then it is recommended that you buy a professional gaming laptop.
【Heat Analysis】
The picture above is a real picture of the disassembly of the OMEN 10 SLIM 14, a combination of dual fans and vapor chambers, with an opening on the inside of the fan, and the latest internal blowing heat dissipation structure.
Room temperature 25 °C
Reflectance1.0
BIOS version: F.04
In the full load state, turn on the furious mode, the CPU temperature is up to 101°C, stable at 87°C, the power consumption is 45W, the P-core frequency is 2.7~3.2GHz, the E-core is 2.3~2.4GHz, and the graphics card temperature is 70.5°C, the power consumption is 50W, and the frequency is 1455MHz. From the perspective of core temperature, there is still a large margin for power consumption.
After the strong cooling is enabled, the power distribution changes, the CPU temperature is 79°C, the power consumption is 33W, and the graphics card is 70.2°C, and the power consumption is about 62W.
The performance release of the whole machine is still maintained at 95W, and the rise in power consumption of the graphics card has almost no impact on the temperature, and the overall increase in fan speed is not large, so it can be judged that there is a large margin for heat dissipation of the graphics card.
单烤Stress FPU，CPU温度维持在97℃，功耗65W，P核频率3.5~3.9GHz，E核频率2.9~3.0GHz。
Single-baked Furmark, the temperature of the graphics card is maintained at 67.5°C, the power consumption is 58W, and the frequency is 1620MHz.
Swipe left to see the temperature on the back of the oven
Oven back temperature
The surface temperature is shown in the graph above, with keyboard keycaps up to 48.8°C on the "7" key, around 33.1°C near the WASD key, and 33.4°C near the arrow key. The temperature of the left wrist rest is 31.9°C. The temperature at the center point of the bottom surface is 42.2°C.
OVERALL, THE OMEN OMEN 10 SLIM 14 HAS DECENT COOLING PERFORMANCE, THE CORE AND SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE UNDER CONTROL, AND THE NOISE IS NOT TOO LOUD.
【The Pig King's Conscience Conclusion】
OMEN OMEN 10 SLIM 14 AS A SMALL SIZE OF THE DISCRETE GRAPHICS BOOK, THE APPEARANCE IS WELL HANDLED, ESPECIALLY THE KEYBOARD DESIGN, WHICH IS QUITE RECOGNIZABLE. The positioning of this computer itself is not the same as that of competing competitors,It does not take the performance route,NVIDIA has been hoping to make efforts in the 14-inch field after the 40 series graphics card comes out(because the energy consumption ratio is much higher),SLIM 14 is in line with the design direction of "RTX40 series independent display + small size"。
Having said that, this computer still needs to improve in terms of hardware, such as screen color correction, adding color gamut switching, and at the same time, there is room for a higher power consumption of independent graphics.
In terms of after-sales, HP has recently added a 180-day replacement but not repair service, which is rare for a gaming hardware brand like OMEN.
The all-round notebook is nothing new today, the OMEN 10 SLIM 14 can make a recognizable appearance in appearance, which has been completed by 50%, as long as the performance is optimized in the future, and the progress in the direction of high performance can be won at the same time in games, mobile office, creative design and other fields, which is common for small size all-round laptops.
