But HPs new Omen Transcend 14 and 16 gaming laptop might push me over the edge.
The thin, 14-inch gaming PC seems loaded with a fair bit of depth.
You cant talk about the new Omen Transcend without first talking about its small silhouette.

Its just under 18mm tall, or 0.7 inches, like the slim 2023 Omen Transcend 16.
The overall footprint is still notable, as its only a little bigger than your average MacBook Air.
The 14-inch model has gone through a pretty heavy facelift compared to the 16.

Instead of the highlighted WASD keys, the keyboard is now a single strip awash with LEDs.
You also have the choice of 32 or 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM.
The screen isnt a slouch, though dont expect top-of-the-line.
The 14-inch, 2.8K OLED display goes from 48 to 120 Hz with a .2 ms pixel response time.
Still, its a fine screen for most typical gaming needs, especially with the variable refresh rate.
The PC maker promises youll be able to game longer on the latest Omen compared to its past PCs.
