HP OMEN X (2018) - 17-inch Gaming Laptop

**Unboxing and First Impressions of the HP Omen 17-inch Gaming Laptop**

I recently had the opportunity to go through some animations on my new gaming laptop, the HP Omen X. This beast of a machine is designed to handle even the most demanding games and tasks with ease. I started by playing around with the various lighting effects that come pre-installed. First up was the color cycle animation, which showed off the vibrant colors of the keyboard and surrounding areas. I also experimented with the starlight effect, which created a mesmerizing matrix-like pattern across the keys. Next, I checked out the breathing animation, which gave me a taste of what it's like to type on this keyboard while watching my favorite gaming streams.

As I explored the various lighting effects, I was blown away by the sheer customization options available. From static colors to ripple and wave patterns, there were countless ways to personalize the look of my laptop. The exterior lighting effects were also impressive, with a range of colors and durations to choose from. One feature that really caught my eye was the ability to change the color of specific areas, such as the top of the screen or the keyboard. This level of control over the lighting is perfect for gamers who want to create a truly immersive experience.

But enough about the aesthetics - let's talk about the specs and performance of this laptop. With 1,750 dollars, I knew I was getting a high-end gaming machine, and it did not disappoint. The display on this laptop is crystal clear and has excellent brightness levels, making it perfect for watching videos or streaming games. The speakers are also impressive, with deep bass and clear sound that's perfect for an immersive gaming experience.

I spent some time playing around with the keyboard, testing out various features such as macro keys and customizable backlighting. I was impressed by the quality of the keyboard and the level of control it offered over the lighting effects. With a range of colors to choose from and customization options galore, this keyboard is perfect for gamers who want to take their gaming experience to the next level.

One feature that really stood out to me was the network booster. As I mentioned earlier, having all the ports in front and back was crucial for me, but it's also a great asset for anyone looking to connect multiple devices at once. The micro SD card slot is also a welcome addition, allowing me to use this laptop not just for gaming but also for editing videos.

**RGB Keyboard Effects**

One of my favorite features on the HP Omen X is the customizable RGB keyboard effects. With options such as color cycle, starlight, breathing, ghosting, ripple, and wave, there's something for every type of gamer to enjoy. I spent some time playing around with each effect, watching how they changed and reacted to different inputs.

The first effect I tried was color cycle, which showed off the vibrant colors of the keyboard in a mesmerizing pattern. Next up was starlight, which created a matrix-like effect that was both beautiful and hypnotic. Breathing was also impressive, giving me a taste of what it's like to type on this keyboard while watching my favorite gaming streams.

I then moved on to ghosting, which showed off the eerie glow of the keys as I typed out letters. The ripple effect was another highlight, with waves of light flowing across the screen in a soothing pattern. And finally, I checked out wave, which created a mesmerizing motion that seemed to dance across the keys.

**External Lighting Effects**

In addition to the customizable RGB keyboard effects, the HP Omen X also comes equipped with external lighting effects that can be used to enhance the gaming experience. With options such as blue, green, red, and yellow, there's something for every gamer to enjoy.

I started by checking out the display settings, which showed me how the laptop would look when streaming games or watching videos. The colors were vibrant and clear, with excellent brightness levels that made it perfect for an immersive experience. I then moved on to the speaker settings, where I was blown away by the crystal-clear sound and deep bass.

Next up was the network booster, which showed me how all the ports in front and back came into play. With a range of customization options available, this feature is perfect for anyone looking to connect multiple devices at once. Finally, I checked out the external lighting effects, where I could see how different colors and durations could be used to enhance the gaming experience.
