Q: How many nvme SSD slots are inside this laptop?
A: There are 2 (two) NVMe slots, but one of them can only hold a 2230 form factor, and the other up to a 2280 form factor, which is the size of the m.2 that is installed already in the laptop. I would suggest that if you want more space, consider either buying a 2230 NVMe, which only supports up to 2TB, or purchasing a larger NVMe for the 2280 slot and keeping the 1TB drive in your desk. Or, you could sell or give the 1TB away to a friend or on eBay.
A: The user guide says you'll need a 100W charger: "You can use an optional 100 W, 20 V USB Type-C adapter or power bank when running light-load tasks. System-off charging is supported only when you use a 20 V USB Type C adapter or power bank."

I had been hunting for a truly powerful machine, and I struck gold! I managed to combine an amazing Best Buy open-box deal with a sale event, making the HP Omen 16 the best hardware value I have ever purchased. This isn't just a great gaming laptop; it’s a high-performance workstation for the price of a mid-range machine. The Ultimate Score: The combined open-box savings and sale price at Best Buy were simply unbeatable. For the specs I got—the blazing-fast AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX CPU, a generous 32GB of RAM, a speedy 1TB SSD, and the powerful NVIDIA RTX 5060—the value is genuinely incredible. This purchase felt like stealing. Performance: Power for Every Task: The hardware is perfectly balanced for demanding workloads: For AI & Multitasking: The 32GB of RAM is the absolute sweet spot for what I do. It allows me to run complex AI models and do heavy video editing (with multiple 4K tracks and effects) without a hint of lag or system slowdown. The 16-core Ryzen 9 CPU is a multi-threaded powerhouse that eats up compilation and rendering tasks. For Gaming: The RTX 5060 is excellent for 1080p and 1440p gaming. I'm getting smooth frame rates in [Mention a game like Warzone/Cyberpunk/etc.], and with the benefit of NVIDIA's new DLSS technology, the performance uplift is fantastic. For Creation: The combination of the high-core-count Ryzen 9 and the RTX GPU makes a huge difference in rendering times for programs like Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. My workflow is now significantly faster. The Omen Advantage: I also appreciate the classic Omen design—it's sleek, not too flashy, and looks just as good in a professional setting as it does on a gaming desk. The cooling system is robust, keeping the powerful components performing consistently. Final Verdict: If you can find this configuration of the HP Omen 16 on a deal, especially an open-box one, do not hesitate. It’s the ideal laptop for anyone needing top-tier CPU and multi-tasking power for demanding work and high-end gaming. This is the definition of a great deal on a great machine. Five stars!

Decent laptop it definitely runs studio one 7 and my over 700 plugins pretty flawlessly. I've gone into the gaming hub to increase performance and it doesn't seem to do too much but make the computer unstable. It's frozen multiple times and I'll had to shut it down and restart which is a bummer. I put the laptop back to default settings and haven't touch the gaming hub performance increase just switched settings to maximize performance in the main setting areas of the batter settings and the advanced settings and seems to running on at the moment. Seems to have a lot of power just not as stable as I'd imagine an intel ultra i9 might supply. Buy if you need a decent priced gaming laptop. I would only buy if it goes on sale to maximum $1200. To me this isnt a $1500 laptop which it was originally and normally priced at.

I had a counterfeit battery warning with every boot up mine(new in box) and i did a bios flash to the lastest version and the issue went away..however everytime I would log back into the laptop it kept making me reset my pin(very annoying but I use a local account anyway) I wasnt sure I was comfortable with the battery error so I ended up returning it and getting a different machine
