HP OMEN Transcend 16-u1047nr: problems, parts and running costs
Checked: 2026-10-18
Summary
A discontinued 2024 16-inch gaming laptop with a Core i7-14700HX, an RTX 4070 at 130 W, 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and a 240 Hz WQXGA IPS screen. No independent review of this exact SKU exists, so treat the series figures as close but not exact.
Common problems and fixes
- Loud fan noise under load — PCMag called the fans loud under sustained gaming on the 2023 and 2024 configurations; the only workaround is power-profile tuning in Omen Gaming Hub, not a warranty item by itself. [3][4]
- Only one M.2 SSD slot — the thin chassis drops the second slot the standard Omen 16 had, so internal storage cannot grow beyond the installed drive; the workaround is an external drive. [6]
- Omen Gaming Hub required for the MUX switch and power profiles — the settings are buried in submenus; pin the needed menus to reach them quickly. [6]
- Screen popping out of the frame — one r/HPOmen owner reported the screen popping out when opening the lid and was told only offsite repair was available; it is unclear whether that post covers this exact model. [8]
Parts and consumables
- 200 W barrel AC adapter — traditional barrel connector, not USB-C; a replacement if the original is lost. [5]
- 97 Wh lithium-polymer battery (6-cell) — user-upgradable once capacity drops. [5][6]
- M.2 2280 NVMe SSD — one slot, user-replaceable; the only internal storage path. [4][6]
- DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM RAM (2 slots) — two SO-DIMM slots are user-upgradable. [4][6]
- M.2 2230 wireless card — user-replaceable. [6]

When it is a good buy
HP has discontinued this exact SKU, so remaining stock comes from third-party sellers and may be discounted, and a Micro Center refurbished unit carries a 90-day warranty. For more GPU power per dollar, a thicker 16-inch machine such as the standard HP Omen 16 or a Lenovo Legion Pro 7i will beat this thin chassis, which is the better pick only when the slim body matters most.
