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.
Q: Can i Expand the ram once i brought it? i need 64gb ram
A: Yes. It will support 64GB.
Q: Does this laptop use a vapor chamber for cooling?
A: undefined
A: Yes. To get a D: drive you have to buy a 2230 form factor SSD and mount it in the emoty M.2 slot. If you wanted a full size D: drive it’s more complicated - best ask Geek Squad to help unless you’re pretty computer savvy.
Q: Will a Samsung 990 PRO fit?
A: undefined
A: It’s a bit tricky though, might need multiple steps. For sure disable “recall”. If somebody hacks that they get screen shots of everything you did. Most importantly never create a Microsoft account when you first configure it. If you already did, too late, Microsoft now owns the PC you just paid for, and they encrypt your data and own the decrypt password. The other Copilot features are innocuous but just overhead. Nothing wrong with AI (half my software career was in AI) but Microsoft corruption leaves the Microsoft stench on AI.

Laptop review
If you’re looking for a laptop capable of handling high-resolution AAA titles, this is an excellent option. The performance is outstanding, making it a powerful choice for gaming while maintaining strong compatibility with a wide range of applications and peripherals. In day-to-day use, the laptop has been consistently reliable with no noticeable issues. It delivers impressive speed and responsiveness, and it’s surprisingly lightweight compared to many other high-performance gaming laptops. The build quality also feels solid and durable, giving confidence that it can withstand regular use and general wear over time. Beyond its gaming capabilities, this laptop is also well-suited for personal and everyday productivity tasks. Its customizable settings allow users to easily optimize performance and efficiency depending on their needs, making it a versatile option for both gaming and practical use. Pros: Lighter than most gaming laptops, refresh rate is amazing, decent portability Cons: fingerprints pretty much everywhere, collects dust easily, battery life when unplugged is not the best but also depends what the user is looking at or doing! Solid gaming laptop, perfect for big name titles and doesn’t run into any challenges. Would definitely recommend storage upgrade or external ssd 8.9/10

Excellent Performance, Not Great Battery
The HP Omen 16 delivers excellent overall performance. The Ryzen 9 and RTX 5060 handled everything I needed from 4K video editing, coding tools like Python, R, AI platforms, to heavy multitasking. It stayed responsive even during demanding workloads, and the cooling system worked surprisingly well. The fans didn’t get too loud, even when I pushed the laptop with editing and AI tasks. My biggest issue was the battery life. Even during simple everyday tasks like internet browsing or watching a lecture, the battery dropped much faster than I expected. In a one-hour class session, it went from around 80% to about 12%, even with everything set to low-power modes (integrated graphics, Eco mode, low refresh rate). I found myself constantly worrying about whether the battery would last, and that’s ultimately the reason I’m returning it. The build quality is okay, but it leans toward a more plastic feel. At this price point, I’ve seen sturdier builds and better keyboards. It’s also a bit heavy, so carrying it around isn’t the most convenient. Overall, it’s a powerful and smooth machine, especially when plugged in. But if you move around a lot or need more reliable battery life during light tasks, that’s something to keep in mind.

Excellent for 1080P High-Refresh Gaming
I have really been impressed with this laptop, especially for the sale price of $1,149. The laptop is not small by any means, but for a gaming laptop, it is more than OK. The screen is not the highest resolution, but for the RTX 5060, that's pushing it; again, it's fine. The 32GB of RAM chews through tasks along with the CPU. I have been playing Battlefield 6 without frame gen at medium to high settings and getting over 60fps, which, again, is fine for the screen that this laptop has. Other, more lightweight games easily max out the 144Hz refresh rate. The laptop does get a little hot, and fans get a little loud, the battery drains quickly when playing games, but this laptop is pushing out some serious power, so it is to be expected. Overall, for the price, it's a bargain. It's powerful, well made and does what it needs to do without fuss.
