Here are three gaming notebooks to buy this Christmas
There are an infinite number of models on the market to choose from that don't seem very different from each other, at least on paper. Of course, the aesthetic appearance and the brand that produces them change, but the technical data sheet is the same. In such a situation, it is difficult for the less experienced to understand which is the right choice to make when buying.
The ideal would be to try them and then decide which one is more for you, but not always it is possible, especially in times like this. For this reason today we offer you three gaming notebooks to buy at Christmas to "play it safe", without the fear of making a wrong choice.
Let's start with the HP OMEN 15-EN0004NL, available for purchase on the website of Unieuro to 1499 euros.

The notebook has a sober and elegant design, with a matte black finish. The HP Omen logo stands out on the lid, positioned in the center. The dimensions of 239.7 x 357.9 x 22.5 mm are quite small and combined with a weight of 2.37 kg allow you to carry it in your backpack without problems, so you can play anywhere, even at friends' houses.
