The HP Omen 17 is a 17.3-inch gaming laptop family HP sold from 2018 through 2021, built for gamers and creators who wanted desktop-class graphics in a laptop chassis. The line ran across several revisions and model numbers, including 17-an100, 17-an013na, 17t-cb100, 17-cb1070nr, 17-cb1055cl, 17-ck0010nr, and 17-ck0020nr, spanning Intel Core i7 processors from 8th through 11th generation and NVIDIA graphics from the GTX 1050 up through the RTX 3080. Four years of steady CPU and GPU refreshes kept it competitive, and the large chassis still holds value today because it accepts serious graphics hardware that thinner 15-inch rivals can't fit.

Confirm you have the HP Omen 17

The fastest way to check is on the machine itself. Press Windows key + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter — the System tab shows the exact model name. You can also flip the laptop over and read the model number printed on the bottom sticker. If Windows won't boot, the sticker is your only option. For a longer walkthrough, here's our guide to finding your HP model number.

17-an series (2018)

  • Model numbers: 17-an100, 17-an013na
  • 8th Gen Intel Core i7
  • GTX 1050, 1050 Ti, 1060, or 1070

17-cb series (2019-2020)

  • Model numbers: 17t-cb100, 17-cb1070nr, 17-cb1055cl
  • 9th Gen Intel Core i7
  • GTX 1660 / 1660 Ti, RTX 2060, 2070, or 2080

17-ck series (2020-2021)

  • Model numbers: 17-ck0010nr, 17-ck0020nr
  • 10th or 11th Gen Intel Core i7
  • RTX 2060 up through RTX 3050 Ti, 3060, 3070, or 3080

Prefer a visual check? The 2018 an-series chassis uses dark gray plastic with red or copper accents around the vents and keyboard. The later cb and ck chassis moved to a more subdued all-black finish with a honeycomb-pattern rear exhaust. All three generations share the same large 17.3-inch footprint and dual rear exhaust vents, so chassis color and the rear vent pattern are your quickest clues before you check the sticker.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Intel Core i7, 8th through 11th generation depending on chassis year
  • Quad-core on 8th Gen units, six-core on 9th through 11th Gen units
  • CPU generation moves resale value modestly compared to the GPU

Graphics

  • Ranges from GTX 1050 / 1050 Ti / 1060 up to RTX 3080
  • GTX 1660 Ti, RTX 2060/2070/2080, and RTX 3050 Ti/3060/3070/3080 configurations exist depending on chassis year
  • The single biggest driver of trade-in value on this line — a higher GPU tier outweighs a newer CPU generation

Memory (RAM)

  • DDR4 memory across two SO-DIMM slots on most configurations
  • User-upgradable on most units in this line

Storage

  • NVMe SSD, often paired with a second 2.5-inch drive bay on many configurations
  • Storage is user-upgradable through the rear access panel on most units

Display & audio

17.3-inch FHD panels across this line, with later cb and ck configurations offering higher refresh-rate FHD options aimed at competitive gaming.

Bang & Olufsen-tuned speakers, a feature HP carried across the entire Omen 17 lineup for this generation.

Backlit keyboard on every configuration in this line. Some units include a fingerprint reader built into the touchpad — check the physical unit to confirm, since this varied by configuration.

Ports & connectivity

Port placement is consistent across the line: the bulk of I/O sits on the rear edge, with a mix of USB-A and audio/card-reader ports on the sides.

Back
  • AC power
  • RJ-45 Ethernet
  • HDMI
  • Mini DisplayPort
  • USB-C (Thunderbolt 3 on select configurations)
Sides
  • USB-A ports
  • Headphone/mic combo jack
  • SD card reader
  • Kensington lock slot

Battery, build & more

Battery — Battery life runs well behind typical thin-and-light laptops given the discrete GPU and large display. Most owners keep it plugged in for gaming sessions and rely on the battery mainly for portability between rooms.

Finishes — The 2018 an-series chassis uses a dark gray finish with red or copper accents. The later cb and ck chassis moved to a more understated all-black design.

Software — Shipped with Windows 10. 10th and 11th Gen configurations meet the hardware requirements for a Windows 11 upgrade; earlier 8th and 9th Gen units may not, depending on TPM support.

Accessories — Shipped with a large HP charger brick given the GPU's power draw. Including the original charger isn't required to sell, but it does help completeness.

Market positioning — GPU tier is what separates entry-level and premium demand on this line today. RTX 20- and 30-series configurations hold noticeably more interest than the earlier GTX-only units, regardless of chassis year.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number / exact configuration?
Press Windows key + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter — the System tab lists your exact model. Right-click the Start menu and open Device Manager to confirm the specific GPU under Display adapters, since that detail affects your quote more than anything else. If the laptop won't power on, the model number sticker on the bottom panel is your fallback. Our HP model number guide walks through both methods in more detail if you get stuck.
02 How do I tell it apart from the newer HP Omen 17 (2022 and later)?
The 2022-and-later Omen 17 uses a redesigned chassis with a different vent layout and a new naming scheme that drops the an/cb/ck prefixes covered here. If your bottom sticker shows one of the model numbers listed above, or dxdiag reports an 8th through 11th Gen Core i7 paired with a GTX 10-series through RTX 30-series card, you have this generation. Newer units ship with 12th Gen or later Intel processors, which dxdiag will show clearly.
03 Can I sell it with damage — cracked screen, weak battery, won't turn on, account lock?
Yes. Select the condition that matches the laptop above and the offer adjusts accordingly — a cracked screen, a battery that no longer holds charge, or a unit that won't power on can all still qualify. The one requirement is that the device must be removed from any Microsoft account and that BitLocker, if enabled, is suspended before shipping. A locked machine tied to someone else's account can't be resold, so that step has to happen on your end first.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
The GPU tier matters more than any other single factor — an RTX 3060 or 3070 configuration will out-value a GTX 1060 unit of the same age even with similar cosmetic wear. Beyond that, a working battery, a screen free of dead pixels or cracks, and a chassis without hinge damage or heavy heat discoloration around the vents all keep the offer higher. Including the original charger helps too, since replacement bricks for this GPU class aren't universal.
05 How do I erase it and remove my accounts, and how do I get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose to remove everything. Before you reset, sign in to account.microsoft.com and remove this device from your Microsoft account, and if BitLocker is enabled, suspend it from the Windows Security settings so the reset completes cleanly. Once the reset finishes, the laptop is ready to ship. Shipping is free and insured, and payment goes out after testing by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check.
