The company recently launched the BenQ Zowie XL2546X gaming monitor aimed at professional gamers and enthusiasts. The Zowie XL2546X is a premium gaming monitor that uses the company’s fast-TN panel. The company claims that its TN panel monitor is designed to deliver the best gaming experience. I have been using the BenQ Zowie XL2546X gaming monitor for a few weeks now, and here is my detailed review of the premium gaming monitor. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Price and

gaming monitors in the market, it is difficult to differentiate the monitor from regular monitors as it does not come with a flashy design or RGB usually associated with gaming devices. <div type="image" title="Rear" msid="109704156" hostid="261" sizebytes="30846" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;BenQ Zowie XL2546X rear design&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The monitor has been designed keeping portability in mind, as gamers often carry their setup with them for tournaments. It weighs 6.2 kg, which is on the lighter side when we consider the usual weights for some of the other gaming monitors in the market. One of the ways that the company has kept the weight down is by using a plastic body, including for the stand. Do note that the plastic is sturdy and should not be a concern. <div type="image" title="Logo" msid="109704176" hostid="261" sizebytes="13952" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Logo at the back&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Like most of its devices, there is no branding at the front but the back has the Zowie logo in red. <div type="image" title="Stand" msid="109704160" hostid="261" sizebytes="26008" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;BenQ Zowie XL2546X stand&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The stand comes with a small flat base. It offers height adjustment and also allows you to change the angle as per your preference. I found it easy to adjust the monitor to my requirements. It comes with side panel shields that not only allow you to reduce the glare but also prevent others from looking at your screen from the sides, which can be important during tournaments as it helps keep your information safe. <div type="image" title="Rear ports" msid="109704164" hostid="261" sizebytes="29338" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;BenQ Zowie XL2546X rear ports&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> For connectivity, the monitor offers three HDMI 2.0 ports, a single DP 1.4 and a headphone jack. It also features a port to connect the company’s S-Switch. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display and performance" comment="subhead" text="Display and performance">Display and performance</cmsannotation> The BenQ Zowie XL2546X features a 24.5-inch TN LCD panel with a 1920 x 1080 resolution, 240Hz refresh rate and 320 nits brightness. The first thing that you will notice about the monitor is its motion clarity, which has been achieved with the company’s DyAc 2 backlight strobing technology which reduces motion blur. <div type="image" title="Display" msid="109704169" hostid="261" sizebytes="27264" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;BenQ Zowie XL2546X display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The BenQ Zowie XL2546X comes with several presets and also offers three gamer profiles to customise the display as per the user’s needs. I played several fast-paced titles such as Counter-Strike 2 and The Finals on the Zowie XL2546X while testing it. Coming from a 144Hz LED panel, the difference was quite clear, with the Zowie XL2546X offering much better motion clarity, especially when the situation required quick movements. The Black eQualizer also came in handy, especially in games that had darker areas where it was easy for enemies to usually hide, giving me an edge. Coming to the colours, while it cannot offer you colours like OLED panels can, the TN panel gets the job done and offers decent colour reproduction. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The BenQ Zowie XL2546X is a premium gaming monitor that is designed for professional gamers. It ticks a lot of boxes, including a high refresh rate, good colour reproduction and DyAc 2 technology, which make it a treat for gaming, especially for those who play fast-paced games The price tag may make it a hard choice for casual gamers looking to get a monitor. However, for those who don’t mind spending a good amount to get the best experience, the BenQ Zowie XL2546X is a good option.

I found it easy to adjust the monitor to my requirements. <div type="image" title="Rear" msid="101218552" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The rear of the BenQ Zowie XL2566K&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> It comes with side panels that not only allow you to reduce the glare, but also prevent others from looking at your screen from the sides, which can be important during tournaments. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display and performance" comment="subhead" text="Display and performance">Display and performance</cmsannotation> Coming to the most important part of the monitor, the BenQ Zowie XL2566K features a 24.5-inch TN LCD panel with a 1920 x 1080 resolution, 360Hz refresh rate, 320 nits brightness and a 0.5 ms response time. One of the highlights of the monitor is its motion clarity, which has been achieved with the company’s DyAc+ technology which reduces motion blur. <div type="image" title="Game" msid="101218580" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;CS: GO on the BenQ Zowie XL2566K&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> I tried playing several games, including Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Overwatch and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on the monitor. It is a treat to play games, especially fast-paced first person shooters on the monitor. While the colour production is decent, it is not as good as an IPS or OLED monitor. The monitor comes with several presets and also offers three gamer profiles to customise the display as per your needs. The monitor comes with Advanced Motion Acceleration (AMA) to boost performance. You can choose between high, premium and off. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The BenQ Zowie XL2566K has a lot going for it and is a good option for gamers looking to upgrade their setup. If you are a casual gamer or someone who is just entering the gaming scene, you can opt for other affordable monitors available in the market.

text="Alienware x16 R2 design">Alienware x16 R2 design</cmsannotation> If you have seen the Alienware x16, the design of the x16 R2 is not new. It retains the same design as its predecessor, which is not a con as the device is well-designed. <div type="image" title="Side profile" msid="110880045" hostid="261" sizebytes="22688" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Alienware x16 R2 is slightly heavy&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The laptop is on the heavier side at 2.72 kg. The charger is also quite heavy and portability may be a concern if you plan on carrying the laptop with you every day. The primary reason for the weight is the large display and the powerful hardware offered by the device. <div type="image" title="Back design" msid="110880053" hostid="261" sizebytes="18850" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Alienware x16 R2 back&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Alienware x16 R2 comes in a single colour option – Lunar Silver. The laptop features a full-metal chassis with a silver finish and with white colour around the hinge. The laptop comes with a minimalistic design, featuring an X symbol at the back and the Alienware logo that lights up. The logo’s colour can be customized according to your preference. If you want a more minimalistic look, you also have the option to completely turn off the lighting. <div type="image" title="Rear ports" msid="110880060" hostid="261" sizebytes="18462" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Rear ports&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> At the back, the device comes with a large LED strip that surrounds the port area. All the ports have been placed at the back, giving a clean look on the sides. The backlighting can also be customised using the Alienware Command Centre. <div type="image" title="Keyboard" msid="110880066" hostid="261" sizebytes="59452" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Alienware x16 R2 keyboard&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> This is not where the device’s gaming design ends. It comes with an RGB keyboard. The device offers per-key lighting customization. Additionally, the touchpad is also RGB-enabled. <div type="image" title="TP" msid="110880074" hostid="261" sizebytes="31164" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The RGB-enabled touchpad on the Alienware x16 R2&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Alienware x16 R2 comes with a low profile CherryMX keyboard with a key travel of 1.8 mm. The company has used stainless-steel switches for the device. In terms of ports, the Alienware x16 R2 comes with an audio jack, a microSD card slot, a USB Type-C port with Thunderbolt 4, a Type-C 3.2 Gen port, 2 x Type-A USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and a HDMI 2.1 port. As it is a gaming laptop, the company has employed several measures to keep the temperature down. It comes with the company’s Alienware Cryo-tech cooling technology. This includes a quad-fan design, vapour chamber and load-balancing heat pipes. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display" comment="subhead" text="Display">Display</cmsannotation> The Alienware x16 R2 features a 16-inch Quad HD+ display with 100% DCI-P3 Colour Gamut, a 240Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time. The panel has a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. <div type="image" title="Display" msid="110879988" hostid="261" sizebytes="41918" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Alienware x16 R2 display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> There’s also a Full HD+ display option with a 480Hz refresh rate but I would prefer the Quad HD+ option. While the display lacks HDR support, it comes with Dolby Vision support, offering an excellent viewing experience. The lack of HDR may be an issue as this means you will miss out on HDR in games. The peak brightness is also on the lower side at 300 nits. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Performance" comment="subhead" text="Performance">Performance</cmsannotation> The Alienware x16 R2 is equipped with up to Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor. The Intel Core Ultra is a new Meteor Lake chipset from the company. The laptop is available with up to 32GB LPDDR5X 7467 MHz RAM and up to 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD. The graphic duties are handled by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 16GB GDDR6 graphics. I tested the laptop with several games, including games such as Red Dead Redemption 2 and Forza Horizon 5. Both the games performed well and the laptop was able to handle them without any issues. The powerful hardware means that you will be able to run any game with the best graphics without even having to look at the system requirements for a long time. I was able to play games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Alan Wake 2 at the highest graphic settings without any issues. The laptop’s cooling technology can keep the device cool during extended gaming sessions so you don’t have to worry about performance throttling. The laptop is equipped with a 90Whr battery and offers a decent battery life considering it is a gaming laptop. It offers around six hours of battery life but this will significantly come down if you game on it. The Alienware x16 R2 offers a six-speaker setup with spatial audio. The device offers a good audio experience. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The Alienware x16 R2 is a feature-packed laptop that offers powerful hardware, a good display and a decent battery life. The laptop also offers a good all-metal chassis with a minimalistic design but can also light up like a regular gaming laptop when you need it to. At the same time, the laptop is not very portable due to its large size and weight. If you want a laptop that you can easily carry around, this may not be the best option for you. Then again, If you are looking for a gaming laptop that you won’t carry around every day, the x16 R2 is a good option. The price is another thing that you need to consider. It is a very premium laptop and while it offers excellent hardware, you need to consider if it fits your budget.

The laptops are equipped with the new HX series processors and up to RTX 4060 graphics. The LOQ 15 series includes the 15IRX9, 15IAX9I, and 15IAX9. The laptop I tested was the 15IRX9, which is the top offering in the lineup. The laptop looks similar to most standard laptops and comes with a slightly different lid design. I’ve been using the LOQ 15 15IRX9 gaming laptop with the Intel Core i7-14700HX processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics in the single Luna Grey colour for a few days now, and here is my detailed review of the latest gaming laptop from Lenovo. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Lenovo LOQ 15 price and availability" comment="subhead" text="Lenovo LOQ 15 price and availability"><keyword id="21821908" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Lenovo-LOQ-15-price" source="Orion">Lenovo LOQ 15 price</keyword> and availability</cmsannotation> The Lenovo LOQ 15 laptop is priced at ₹1,23,491 in India for the Intel Core i7-14700HX variant with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics.

design">Lenovo LOQ 15 design</cmsannotation> The Lenovo LOQ 15 is a sleek-looking laptop that skips out on flashy RGB lighting and comes with a minimalistic look. Unlike a lot of the gaming laptops available in the market, you do not have to worry about a flashy design or RGB lighting on the device and this can easily double up as a work laptop. <div type="image" title="Back" msid="110457375" hostid="261" sizebytes="28588" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Lenovo LOQ 15&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The LOQ 15 comes with a smooth finish at the back with the Luna Grey colour. It has Lenovo branding on the side and LOQ branding in larger letters. Apart from this, it features a clean back. The LOQ 15 is on the heavier side, weighing 2.38 kg. In addition to this, it comes with a bulky 230W charger, which makes it slightly difficult to carry around every day. <div type="image" title="lid back" msid="110457420" hostid="261" sizebytes="32866" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Vents at the back&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The device comes with ample vents to dissipate the heat, at the back and the bottom. <div type="image" title="rear ports" msid="110457452" hostid="261" sizebytes="23058" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ports at the back&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The device is equipped with ample ports. It comes with 2 x USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, an Ethernet port, an HDMI 2.1 port and the charging port at the back. <div type="image" title="Left ports" msid="110457499" hostid="261" sizebytes="25432" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ports on the right side&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> On the right side, the laptop comes with a USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 1 port, a USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, a shutter to close the webcam and a 3.5mm audio jack. <div type="image" title="Keyboard" msid="110457544" hostid="261" sizebytes="111564" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Lenovo LOQ 15 keyboard&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Coming to the keyboard, Lenovo has used the available area to fit in the number pad, which is rare for a laptop. This is another aspect that makes it a good option for both work and gaming. The keys have a 1.5mm key travel and feel great to type on. The touchpad is also decent and I did not face any issues while using it. It comes with a large lid, that extends beyond the hinge, making it feel more durable and sturdier while opening and closing. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display" comment="subhead" text="Display">Display</cmsannotation> The Lenovo LOQ 15 features a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display that offers a 144Hz refresh rate and 300 nits brightness. The high refresh rate display makes it a great option for fans of fast-paced action games. <div type="image" title="Display" msid="110457579" hostid="261" sizebytes="129504" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Lenovo LOQ 15 display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> I played several games on the device while testing it, the device managed to offer good visuals in each case. While a higher resolution display would have offered better visuals, the LOQ 15 can handle itself well. The display offers good colour accuracy and vibrant visuals. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Performance" comment="subhead" text="Performance">Performance</cmsannotation> The LOQ 15 is equipped with the Intel Core i7-14700HX processor coupled with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics. The laptop is available in a single variant with 16GB LPDDR5 5600 MHz RAM and a 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD. I tested the laptop with several games, including The Finals, Alan Wake 2 and Counter Strike 2. The laptop was able to handle these games without any issues while playing in medium settings. The laptop is equipped with a 60Wh battery, which is on the smaller side. Battery life is usually an issue with gaming laptops and the LOQ 15 also faces the same. You will find it difficult to use it for more than a couple of hours without plugging it in. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The Lenovo LOQ 15 is a good option if you are looking for a pocket-friendly gaming laptop that offers decent performance and comes with a sturdy design. It features a good display and offers proper cooling, making gaming a good experience. At the same time, its weight and battery life make portability a concern. If you are unlikely to carry it with you or use it outdoors, you can easily consider the LOQ 15.

Asus has been testing dual-screen laptops for a long time, be it the ZenBook Pro Duo or the<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/asus-rog-zephyrus-duo-16-review-a-powerful-gaming-laptop-with-a-unique-design-and-a-premium-price-tag/articleshow/99055543.cms"> ROG Zephyrus Duo 16</a>. But the ZenBook Duo is a big upgrade as instead of offering one large display with a smaller one, the new laptop from Asus offers two large displays of the same size. The ZenBook Duo is feature-packed and comes with top-of-the-line hardware, including up to Intel Core 9 185H processor and Intel Arc graphics. All the variants feature the same display setup. I have been using the Asus ZenBook Duo for a few days now, and here is my detailed review of the latest dual-screen laptop from Asus. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Asus ZenBook Duo price and availability" comment="subhead" text="Asus ZenBook Duo price and availability"><keyword id="21319866" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Asus-ZenBook-Duo-price" source="Orion">Asus ZenBook Duo price</keyword> and availability</cmsannotation> The Asus ZenBook Duo is available starting at ₹1,59,990 and goes up to ₹2,39,990 for the top variant. The device is available from Amazon India, Flipkart, Asus online store and the company’s authorised retailers across the country. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style:

<ul><li>Dual OLED screens </li><li>Keyboard and Stylus </li></ul>Cons <ul><li>Audio </li><li>Average battery life </li></ul><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Asus ZenBook Duo design" comment="subhead" text="Asus ZenBook Duo design">Asus ZenBook Duo design</cmsannotation> The Asus ZenBook Duo comes with a sleek and lightweight design and looks just like a normal laptop. It comes with a minimalistic design with a grey aluminium chassis with a subtle logo on the lid and the company’s trademark geometric lines that we have seen on several of its laptops. <div type="image" title="Design" msid="109875947" hostid="261" sizebytes="37372" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Asus ZenBook Duo features a sleek design&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> When you look at the bottom, this is the first time you will notice something different about the laptop. It comes with a kickstand, which can be used to prop up the laptop. The stand is durable and does not move, so you don’t have to worry about it wobbling while using it. <div type="image" title="Stand" msid="109876168" hostid="261" sizebytes="24576" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The stand on the Asus ZenBook Duo&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The matte finish on the back means that you don’t have to worry about fingerprints. <div type="image" title="Keyboard" msid="109875989" hostid="261" sizebytes="30300" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The removable keyboard with the Asus ZenBook Duo&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Once you open the laptop, it initially looks like a normal laptop. But it comes with a removable keyboard, which is attached with pogo pins to a secondary display. The device comes with two attached displays, allowing you to use it as a tablet, as a laptop or even as a desktop. The laptop weighs 1.35 kg without the keyboard and 1.65 kg with the keyboard. The compact size and the weight mean you can easily carry it around with you. The charger equipped with the laptop is also small so it can be easily carried in your bag. <div type="image" title="KB" msid="109876022" hostid="261" sizebytes="42610" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Asus ZenBook Duo keyboard&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The laptop comes with a backlit keyboard but does not feature a number pad. It comes with a large trackpad and more than ample space to rest your palms. While the keyboard is good to type on, the Bluetooth keyboard does not feel as snappy as traditional laptop keyboards. The device is equipped with ample ports. It comes with 2 x Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, a USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 1 port, an HDMI 2.1 port and an audio jack. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display" comment="subhead" text="Display">Display</cmsannotation> Coming to the highlight of the laptop, the Asus ZenBook Duo features dual 14-inch Full HD+ OLED touchscreen displays. Both the displays offer a 60Hz refresh rate and a 0.2 ms response time. <div type="image" title="Primary display" msid="109876202" hostid="261" sizebytes="88088" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The primary display on the Asus ZenBook Duo&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The display offers a 16:10 aspect ratio and a max brightness of 500 nits. It offers a 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut, which makes it a great display for users looking for content creation, where colour accuracy is important. It is also PANTONE Validated and TUV Rheinland-certified. What all this essentially means is that you get a vibrant display with accurate colours <div type="image" title="Dual display" msid="109876225" hostid="261" sizebytes="46850" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The dual displays&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The ZenBook Duo offers two large-screen displays, which come with stylus support. The 14-inch displays eliminate the need for portable monitors, which are difficult to carry and are a hassle to connect and use. Another advantage of the Duo is that both its displays are excellent and you don’t have to worry about using a poorer secondary display. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Performance" comment="subhead" text="Performance">Performance</cmsannotation> The Asus ZenBook Duo is equipped with up to Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor coupled with Intel Arc graphics. The Intel Core Ultra is a new Meteor Lake chipset from the company. The laptop is available with up to 32GB LPDDR5X 7467 MHz RAM and up to 2TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD. In terms of performance, the Asus ZenBook Duo is easily able to handle multiple applications and processes at once. As it comes with integrated graphics, this might not be the best choice if you are looking for a laptop to game on. However, the Intel Arc Graphics are able to handle some light gaming so you don’t have to worry about getting bored while on the go. The laptop is equipped with a 75Wh battery, which is decent for a sleek laptop. However, you won’t be able to use it for a long duration without plugging it in. Using it without a battery becomes harder if you turn on the secondary display as well. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The Asus ZenBook Duo is a feature-packed laptop that comes with two fully functional displays, with a sleek and lightweight design. The full-size displays are practical and help in multitasking, eliminating the need for carrying a secondary display. The laptops offer good performance but struggle a bit when it comes to battery life. As long as you don’t use the secondary display without plugging in the device, you don’t have to worry. Overall, the Asus ZenBook Duo is an excellent option if you are looking for a device that makes multi-tasking easy and stands out in the crowd. It is easily the best dual-screen laptop out there, beating the company’s own more premium dual-screen options.

Omen Transcend 14 is unlike most gaming laptops that we see often. It comes with an elegant lightweight design, making it a great option for those looking for a gaming laptop that can double up as a work laptop. The laptop does not offer flashiness or RGB lighting plaster. The device is available in two colour options – Ceramic White and Shadow Black. <div type="image" title="Back" msid="108981171" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;HP Omen Transcend 14 back panel&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The HP Omen Transcend 14 Ceramic White variant features an all-white design and comes with a white back with the Omen logo in black. The white-black combination at the lid looks great. The device comes with a smooth powder-coated surface and offers a durable aluminium chassis. The device features smooth rounded curves, giving it a premium feel. Another positive about this device is its compact form factor. It measures 31.3 x 23.3 x 1.79 cm and weighs just 1.63 kg, which is quite good for a gaming laptop. This makes it easy to carry around the laptop with you. The device comes with ample vents to dissipate the heat, at the back and the bottom. <div type="image" title="Key RGB" msid="108981201" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The keyboard with RGB enabled&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The design aspect that shouts gaming laptops is the device’s keyboard. The keyboard comes with RGB lighting, which is highly customizable. The keyboard offers four-zone RGB lighting. <div type="image" title="Keyboard" msid="108981335" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The keyboard on the HP Omen Transcend 14&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The keyboard does not offer a number pad. The trackpad is good to use and is sized decently, considering the device’s overall size. In terms of ports, the company has offered plenty of ports with the laptop. <div type="image" title="Left" msid="108981218" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ports on the left&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> On the left side, you get a Thunderbolt 4 port and the headphone jack. <div type="image" title="Right" msid="108981300" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ports on the right&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> On the right side, you get two USB Type-A ports. <div type="image" title="IMG20240306132600" msid="108981304" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ports and vents at the back&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> At the back, you get a Thunderbolt 4 port for charging and a HDMI 2.1 video out port. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display" comment="subhead" text="Display">Display</cmsannotation> The display is another area where the Omen Transcend 14 shines. It comes with a 14-inch 2.8K OLED display with a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, 0.2 ms response time and 500 nits of brightness, which is excellent for playing indoors and outdoors. <div type="image" title="Display" msid="108981316" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;HP Omen Transcend 14 display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The high-resolution display and the high refresh rate make it a treat to game on the device. I played games like Starfield, Alan Wake 2 and Control on the laptop, with the device offering the best visuals in each game. The display can offer excellent colour accuracy and vibrant visuals. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Performance" comment="subhead" text="Performance">Performance</cmsannotation> The Omen 16 is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor coupled with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is a new Meteor Lake chipset from the company. The laptop is available in a single variant with 16GB LPDDR5X 7467 MHz RAM and a 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe TLC M.2 SSD. I tested the laptop with several games, including Starfield, The Finals and Alan Wake 2. The laptop was able to handle these games without any issues while playing in medium settings. Coming to the battery, the HP Omen Transcend 14 is equipped with a 71Wh battery. The small battery, in line with the device’s lightweight design, results in an average battery life. Like most gaming laptops, the battery is one of the strongest points of the device. While you can easily browse and consume media while on the go, you may not be able to game for a long time without plugging in. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The HP Omen Transcend 14 is a great option for those looking for a gaming laptop that does not come with a flashy design and can be used in a professional setup. Its lightweight design, excellent display and good performance make it a device worth considering. If you are not a fan of subtle designs or want a better battery life, you can opt for other options available in the market.

type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Design" comment="subhead" text="Design">Design</cmsannotation> Starting with the design, the ViewSonic VX2728J comes with a minimalistic design, looking like a regular monitor. This allows you to use it while working without having to worry about a flash design or RGB lights. It features a lightweight design, weighing just 4.7 kg with the stand, allowing you to easily move and carry it around with you if needed. <div type="image" title="Rear" msid="102645392" hostid="261" sizebytes="97394" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;ViewSonic VX2728J &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The monitor features an all-plastic back in black colour. It comes with thin bezels on the three sides with a large chin at the bottom. The chin features ViewSonic branding. <div type="image" title="Stand" msid="102645443" hostid="261" sizebytes="19488" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The ViewSonic VX2728J stand&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> You also get the ViewSonic branding at the back, which is much larger than the front. The stand allows you to adjust the monitor’s height and angle. It allows you to swivel, tilt and even pivot the monitor based on your preference. I tried to adjust the monitor to different heights and angles while using it and found that it is quite easy to do so. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display and performance" comment="subhead" text="Display and performance">Display and performance</cmsannotation> Coming to the display, the ViewSonic VX2728J monitor features a 27-inch IPS panel with a 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution. It offers a refresh rate of 180 Hz, 250 nits of brightness and a response time of 0.5ms. The monitor comes with AMD FreeSync Premium and VESA Adaptive Sync. These technologies ensure that you can have a blur-free gaming experience with minimal stuttering and no tearing. While the 180Hz refresh rate makes it a treat to play fast-paced FPS games. <div type="image" title="Performance" msid="102645535" hostid="261" sizebytes="136064" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The monitor performs well while gaming&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> I played fast-paced games like Counter Strike: Global Offensive and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on the monitor. I enjoyed playing both the games and while there were no stutters or tearing, the low-pixel density is sometimes visible in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. It would have been great to have a higher resolution panel but the VX2728J manages to offer a good gaming experience. The monitor comes with several pre-sets, including FPS Game, RTS Game, Movie and more, allowing you to easily set the settings for your favourite game. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> If you are a casual gamer in the market for a monitor with a large display and a high refresh rate under ₹20,000, the ViewSonic VX2728J is a good option. Do note that you will have to make-do with a Full HD display. If this is not a deal breaker, you can go ahead with the purchase.
