Customer Ratings & Reviews

My point of view is that of someone who has been gaming on a notebook laptop with integrated graphics, A.K.A. not a gaming computer. I longed for an upgrade so I could actually *see* the characters in my games, or all the details I was missing while running games on low graphics settings. Very satisfied with the HP OMEN 30L! PROS: price, upgradability, quality, design, performance, storage, graphics, size, accessibility, many ports and inputs/outputs, accommodates several display types CONS: temperature control, fans can get loud (but you can add more fans to reduce the workload!) OVERALL: This desktop was so much more of an upgrade than I imagined it would be. The graphics are beautiful. There is plenty of storage space with the SSD and the HDD. There is room for upgrades on pretty much every component, though I'm not 100% sure about the motherboard. The design is very streamlined, and the RGB options are more classic and minimalist (which I love!) as opposed to some of the more flashy prebuilts on the market. It runs well, and I think it is the right choice for someone who is on a tighter gaming budget and doesn’t need “the best” specs. Much more detail below. GRAPHICS: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER. Not top of the line, but darn good! A brief example of how well it performs: I play Overwatch on Epic settings (the highest settings the game offers), and it blew my mind with how clear and vivid everything is. The game performs great. Oh, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Looks so good and plays so well! COOLING: It comes with a couple of case fans pre-installed with room for more if you want to buy an extra and add it yourself. You may need it, depending on what you use this PC for, because the CPU and GPU do seem to hit kinda high average temperatures while gaming. The fans can get loud and will sometimes make a high-pitched noise when at high power. So, I might invest in an extra fan to combat that. CASE: It's about an inch or so smaller in width than most, if not all, cases I saw when I was thinking of building my own PC. I needed something a little more sleek, and while this is still a big tower, it gives me that bit of extra room I needed. Cable management is just so clean and tidy. There is a little spot at the bottom right with nothing there, so I placed a miniature Funko figure there. 3 LED RGB areas on the case: strip along the top inside, diamond on top front, circle on bottom front. Each one is independently controlled in the OMEN Command Center, and there are a number of effects and colors to choose from. MEMORY/RAM: It only has 8GB, which is not a lot if you want to game and stream at the same time or generally multitask with demanding programs. It's plenty if you just want to play a game and maybe have a web browser or Discord open at the same time as the game. You can expand it up to 32GB, I believe, as it has two memory slots that can accept RAM sticks up to 16GB each. I chose to upgrade the RAM, and it was easy. I purchased the exact model that comes pre-installed, except I chose non-RGB to save a few bucks. The issue with this upgrade is that they will no longer run at the full 3200MHz, defaulting to lower speeds. This can be fixed by overclocking, but that will void the PC’s warranty. I did not want to take that risk, so I’m using this PC just fine with the 16GB RAM at a slightly lower speed (I don’t even know how the speed affects performance… I’m no expert lol). It's a matter of balance and what you are willing to do. MOTHERBOARD: I don’t understand motherboards all that much, but I do know that this one has many options for USB devices and different kinds of displays. It’s HP’s own Moria 3 motherboard and you can find out more info straight from them. Bottom line: I almost bought a more expensive desktop with Ryzen 7 and RTX 2060 because I was afraid I wouldn't be getting the full experience with these lower specs. I was wrong to assume that, and I am glad I chose to buy this one instead. I saved money, and I get to have a powerful PC for my games.

i purchased this HP OMEN 30L desktop computer 3 weeks ago. i use it for gaming and i'm very satisfied with the performance of this computer. it is easy to use right out of the box and its very fast and has no problem playing GTA 5 and DIABL0 3 at high settings. the only issue i came across was when i tried adding more memory cards. it does not recognize the 32htz cards as such and only as 2133 htz. there is no way to enter the BIOS to fix this issue. but i will say computer is performing well with the memory it came with.

This PC is all you will need. The CPU and GPU are fast, the SSD makes everything boot near-instantly. The HDD has a whole 1 terabyte. The power supply is 500 wats for easy upgrades. The case is gorgeous. My favorite feature is the RGB. It's awesome! The only thing that I dislike is the RAM it is only 8 GB but it is 3.2 GHz and can be easily upgradeable so it is not a big deal at all.

Bought this about 2 years ago. Been working fine for the stuff i do. Easy interface for the onen command board. Cool design but wish it had one more fan on the back. Besides that its decent forsure.

This is a great computer overall, however this is marketed to gamers and a lot of gamers that will pay this kind of money for a computer already have RBG keyboards and mice or are looking to buy them, especially if they are going with a RBG style desktop like this one. I think they could have left out the keyboard and mouse (that are HP brand and not OMEN and not RBG) entirely and just added another 8gb of RAM. Most customers that buy this will end up having to open it up and insert another stick eventually. Also important to note there is only one extra slot for ram and not the usual 4 with a gaming computer. I personally love this computer. The colors are great and I really like how you can personalize all the different aspects (the fan, diamond, and interior can all be different colors.) You can make them static, or have different color effects like blinking, pulsing, wave, ect. The reason I gave this computer 4 stars instead of 5 is that this is my second one. I purchased this when it first came out, so I am hoping that the quirks were worked out in this model. My first one stopped working and would not connect to the screen after a month. Geek Squad sent a new one regardless of it being past the time which was good. Overall, this computer handles live streaming and gaming with a couple of programs and tabs open and does everything I was looking for when purchasing a computer! I highly recommend it (:

This really is a great gaming computer it handles GTA 5 really well. It’s quieter then I expected and crazy fast! You will have to upgrade the keyboard and mouse but other then that, great computer!

I was waffling between building my own and a few options of prebuilt PCs. Because of Covid and price fluctuations, I decided to pull the trigger on this machine and am pretty pleased with it. The case is beautiful and the Omen software allows me to configure the RGB settings on 3 zones of lighting (diamond, inside case, front fan) and on the Hyperx RAM stick. I enjoyed the way that you can control the different ways to cycle through colors inside the case. Additionally, you can set the front fan light to indicate CPU or GPU performance or temperature - very neat! I was concerned before purchasing because I read something about high temperatures soon after purchase on this model, but the GPU and CPU maintain reasonable temps and there's not too much fan noise as I had been warned about with gaming PCs. I don't use the wired keyboard and mouse that come with it in lieu of a wireless set from Logitech, but they seemed fine for general use. If you're serious about your gaming keyboards, you'll likely want one that matches the Omen's aesthetics more than the plain office-like one it ships with. I mostly use the Omen to play Halo MCC and have had a great experience reliving those memories in much higher definition than I experienced back with the original Xbox. I pair my computer with a HP 25x monitor through the graphics card's Displayport and the image is crystal clear. My only gripe here is I occasionally have to reset the monitor, but I think that may be a game or Steam software thing. Overall, very pleased with the smooth performance 95% of the time. I've also dabbled a little bit in VR, pairing this device with the Oculus Quest over Virtual Desktop. This stresses the system more than my regular PC gaming, but it runs pretty well. The more frustrating part here is using a workaround wireless solution software-wise than anything with the Omen itself. I imagine this machine would work well with an Oculus Rift, HTC Vibe ,or Reverb G2 that uses a wired connection. I purchased with a 10% discount, but this computer is well-priced even at retail, I think. I may add an additional stick of 8GB RAM (trying to match the one that comes with it), but am holding off since the original configuration hasn't limited anything I've wanted to do. Overall a great PC for gaming and recommended in the price range if you're looking for a good Ryzen build.

Switched from ps4/Xbox to pc gaming and I love this thing ! It rocks, handles my games perfectly ! (Rainbow six siege/200fps high settings, warzone 105-110 FPS at med-high settings, Fortnite 250+ FPS) Some examples ! It’s surprisingly quiet ! Game about 5-7 hours a day give or take and it stays quiet the whole time ! Only thing I’ve done to it was upgrade the ram (comes with 8gig stick) put 16 gigs of ram Corsair vengeance rgb stick 2-8 gig and it’s running amazing ! DO NOTE the motherboard only has 2 slots of ram so upgrade at your own 16 is perfect or go with 32 gb! One other thing, I added 1tb of Samsung ssd for faster speeds on my games ! Will be adding another fan on top for more added air ventilation. Other then that, this thing rocks!

This PC has been nothing but outstanding. It does have a lack of ram but you can buy more to help the performance. I'm an avid gamer and even with 8gb it has still gotten the job done. I would highly recommend this desktop if you're up for gaming along with desk work. All around a satisfying piece of equipment.

Just received this recently so this is based on initial operation. So far, this desktop is proving to be really good! I also got an LG 29" super wide monitor from Best Buy to pair with it and what a great combo! Will never go back to small screens again. The 15" laptop is my work computer to get an idea of it's awesome size. I purchased Corsair Vengeance 32gb RGB RAM to upgrade from the 8gb the CPU cam with. It is very fast, no lag in multi-tasking, photo/video editing, gaming, etc. Super easy to open the cabinet and add more RAM, hard drives, liquid cooling fan, even a higher capacity power supply if you want. The three zone lighting control is pretty cool too, very high tech. The keyboard and mouse however that come with it are very basic, I have them standing by as backups preferring to use a Roccat wired mouse and Steelseries wired keyboard. Bought the HP Omen as open box "excellent" and saved even more money. I'd say based on specs, sturdy build, free shipping and Best Buy customer service, you can't go wrong with this desktop. Go for it!

So far only issue was when fuse get blown it may not turn on so I had to call omen to help it get cut back on which it’s on now thank god I paid too much money for this issue to happen but it is a pc other than that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! Play car Mechanic 2018 and nba 2k20 also roller coaster world and other games it’s VERY SMOOTH I LOVE IT!!!!

Ordered this after the Cyberpower PC I ordered was DOA. No complaints very happy. (Moonlamp not included).

The HP-Omen 30L has been amazing so far. Recently HP added a light studio to customize your RGB lighting to endless options. The Omen UI is excellent as well, far exceeding any other ones I know about. The fan speed can be set to quiet, which makes it virtually unnoticeable. I got the 8GB version with Ryzen 5, but if you can afford $300 more I would go with the 16GB Ryzen 7 model. Overall, this is one of the best PC’s for gaming and programming at ~$1000.

Awesome PC for Iracing. I’m running this TV on a 49 inch Samsung TV with the game mode on. Only downside is you have to order one more stick of RAM because this computer only comes with one 8gb. You can purchase one stick for $50 online. I highly recommend this PC.

Great computer. Ive had this a few years now and its still powerful and fast and does its job. Very pleased with its quality and price. Best PC ive had in a long time for its price.

Love this pc my first ever pc also runs great gets the best frams and the fans are not loud at all runs just fine definitely recommend getting this for the price and for the features omen is definitely something worth getting

For someones 1st computer its fine. Solid start to a build. But the cooling and propiertary parts and software are weak. Runs super hot. Invested couple hundred dollars and only used the ryzen 5 3600; the m.2 HDD; and the 1660 super graphics card from the Omen. set fans at 100% for the 1660 and runs around 67degrees C, using corsair 280mm for cpu and runs at 47 to 51 degrees C on cpu temps.

I bought this PC for overall tasks like video streaming, office tasks and so on. It is really fast, about 4 times, compared to my other desktop ASUS I5-3750 DDR3 with SSD.

Great pc. Keeps up with all my online gaming with no lags. Excited for all the upgrades to be added in the future.

I am very impressed with how fast this computer is.
