Customer Ratings & Reviews

Power isn't everything, but it certainly comes in handy when you're trying to get work done on a computer. For years, I've worked exclusively from a laptop connected to an external monitor and keyboard. I've found that setup makes much more sense for me because I can work remotely when necessary without having to change my entire workspace. That said, a desktop computer still has its advantages. HP's OmniDesk Slim Desktop is a compact machine designed for everyday computing. It comes with 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, so those are two specifications you'll want to keep in mind when considering this computer. The AMD Ryzen 7 7445HS processor provides respectable processing capabilities, while the integrated AMD Radeon graphics are suited to everyday tasks and general entertainment. One of the things I like most about this computer is its size. It's remarkably compact and doesn't take up much desk space, making it easy to fit into a variety of workspaces. The included wired keyboard and mouse are functional, but I'd recommend upgrading to wireless peripherals. With a desktop this small, reducing cable clutter makes a lot of sense. While the OmniDesk Slim is a well-built, space-saving machine, I see it as a better fit for everyday home and office computing than for demanding workloads. The 8GB of RAM is a particular concern if you regularly work with multiple applications or keep lots of browser tabs open. I'd like to see 16GB included at this price point. I ran Geekbench 7 to get a better idea of the computer's processing capabilities. The OmniDesk Slim scored 2,056 in single-core testing and 6,911 in multi-core testing. These results suggest that the Ryzen 7 7445HS is reasonably capable for everyday productivity. However, benchmark scores only tell part of the story, and the overall experience also depends on the computer's memory, graphics, and the applications you're running. Even though I firmly believe you don't need a powerhouse of a computer to get things done, I do think the price needs to be competitive with what you're getting. The OmniDesk Slim feels expensive for a system with just 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Its compact design is appealing, but I'd want to see more memory included or a lower price to make it a more compelling purchase. Ultimately, this is a computer I'd consider for someone who needs a small desktop for everyday tasks and values saving space. However, I'd encourage shoppers to compare it with other desktops in the same price range before making a decision.

Bigger isn’t always better, sometimes good things come in small packages, and the HP OmniDesk Slim Desktop is a great example. Its slim design leaves more room on your desk, making it an appealing fit for a home office, a homework station, or a smaller workspace where every inch matters. Features and Usage: Now that we’ve covered the space-saving design, let’s see what the OmniDesk is packing on the inside. With an AMD Ryzen 7 7445HS processor, 8GB of DDR5 memory, and a 512GB SSD, it offers a nice setup for everyday use. Whether you’re working on documents, checking email, browsing the web, or settling in for some entertainment, it’s a practical desktop for a little bit of everything. The 512GB SSD provides space for your programs, documents, photos, and other everyday files, while the processor and memory have handled our family’s daily tasks well so far. I’ve been using it for about a week for office work, my kids have used it for school projects and some gaming, and my wife has put it to use for online shopping. So far, it’s fit right into our routine as a shared family computer. Don’t let the slim design fool you—the OmniDesk has some useful features, including dual-display support. Having two screens makes it easier to keep your work organized and saves you from constantly switching between windows. It’s a nice option for keeping a document on one screen and research, email, or a spreadsheet on the other. You also get the flexibility of both wireless and wired network connectivity. The Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 wireless card provides wireless networking and connections for compatible accessories, while the RJ-45 Ethernet port gives you a wired option. Having both choices makes it easier to set up the desktop wherever it works best for you. Ports Galore: For a slim desktop, the connection options are a definite highlight. You get: • 1 headphone/microphone combo port • 5 USB Type-A ports with a 5Gbps • 1 USB Type-C port with a 10Gbps • 2 USB 2.0 Type-A ports • 1 HDMI 2.1 port • 2 DisplayPort 1.4a ports • 1 RJ-45 Ethernet port • 1 3.5mm audio jack (line-out) That’s a useful selection for connecting monitors, a printer, external storage, headphones, and other everyday accessories. Having both USB-A and USB-C is a welcome touch, and the separate audio connections give you options for headphones, a microphone, or speakers. Overall: The HP OmniDesk Slim Desktop has a lot to offer in a compact package. It doesn’t take up much desk space, and it’s handled our mix of office work, school projects, online shopping, entertainment, and some gaming well during our first week with it. For our family, it’s been a practical everyday computer that fits both our workspace and our routine. If you are in the market for an everyday computer, then this is it.

This is a space saving business grade desktop, and it does not pretend otherwise. That is not a bad thing provided you are looking for that sort of device. It has decent specs with a Ryzen 7 processor, WiFi 6, 512gb SSD, but only a painful 8GB of ram that gets eaten up quickly by memory hungry apps like Chrome which can cause noticeable lag at times. The WiFi card is not terribly impressive either, with poor performance compared to my laptop in the same space. It has plenty of ports and can utilize two monitors simultaneously as long as one is HDMI and the other is DP. The included mouse and keyboard are basic but decent particularly the keyboard which has a nice feel to the buttons and doesn’t come across too cheap. It includes a power cable, the aforementioned wired mouse and keyboard, and that’s about it. Setup is typical for Windows 11, requiring a Microsoft account login, updates, and removal of the preinstalled bloatware before it can really be utilized properly. Since then it has been smooth other than the memory and WiFi limitations but it does the intended job and that’s what I needed it for. I’d recommend it for business use, but for a personal computer you might want to look elsewhere for anything other than web browsing and productivity apps.

This desktop is a true plug‑and‑play machine that delivers smooth everyday performance once fully set up. It doesn’t include a monitor, but it does come with a wired keyboard and mouse, which you can upgrade to wireless later. Initial setup takes some time due to multiple Windows updates, but afterward the system runs well and offers built‑in WiFi for quick internet access. This particular model comes with AMD Ryzen 7, 8GB DDR5 memory and 512GB of storage. A few apps like the Getting Started guide and Phone Link, did crash during my initial usage, though they worked normally after reopening. The desktop is responsive, customizable, and ideal for browsing, email, video streaming, school or work. Note that it has no built‑in speakers, so you’ll need external speakers or headphones. With seven USB‑A ports, one USB‑C, HDMI, and two DisplayPorts, it’s well‑equipped for peripherals and multiple monitors. Overall, it’s a solid home computer for everyday use. Very capable and with the slim form factor it can be placed in small tight areas. It is easy to set up and use, it just does not come with a monitor.

I like the unit so far. Seems to be working as it should. Geek Squad transferred data from old computer. I had a difficult time finding it. At first only found about 30 files. then found, with file explorer, the rest of the saved files. I had backed them up on a portable hard drive, but DID NOT want to go to the hassle of transferring that way. I am not a fan of the keyboard included with the unit. Previous pc had a wireless mouse and keyboard which worked well. This unit seems smaller and I keep hitting the caps key. May try the wireless from old unit if I do not get used to this one.

This is a secondary PC, at best. The specs give off productivity and lackluster functionality, at the same time. This build is for an office space that needs to give access to a temp. The memory is minimal, RAM is in a "I guess we're happy to have any" state of existence. The keyboard and mouse that comes packed inside the box, is better off left in the warehouse, from which it was pulled from. I say that because of what Hewlett Packard is asking you to fork over for the price of entry. I feel like you'd be better off getting a better spec'd laptop or just a full desktop PC. If you're still here. you'll be happy to know that it comes with a plethora USB A ports. a couple display ports and an HDMI port( and get this. No HDMI cable, in the box). That is worse than not getting a charging brick or even a charging cable. So, with that being said. This is not to be your only PC, and definitely not your first one. The AMD Ryzen 7000 series is all, but wasted in this unit. The only true saving grace, is the fact that you can build something around it. Changing the Keyboard and Mouse for something that you actually want to to type with. You could accomplish mild editing with OmniDesk Slim, but don't expect to get very far with the low-end specs. Again, for the cost of what they want, vs what you get, there should be a monitor in the box. I scored it what I did, because at the end of the day, you can still use it.

Very easy to use and the updated features has improved my usage capabilities. Very pleased with function.

This thing is perfect for my father who isn't computer savvy. Fast, easy to set up and compact compared to his 15 year old tower.

good value, fast, lots of features, up- dates quickly,

SO FAR THERE AREN'T ANY GLARING PROBLEMS. THE SITUATION THAT HAS CAUSED ME SOME PAUSE IS THE SLOW TIME IN WHICH I HAVE TO WAIT AT THE COUNTER TO BE WAITED ON, EVEN WHEN I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT.

I like everything about it, once I got use to finding everything. Love it

I would recommend this computer for personal and business use. We use this for my office at the moment

upon setting up every time plugged in new keyboard monitor went in and out lucky for me, I kept old keyboard and it works. Learning Windows 11 as old unit was Windows 10.

I having trouble with some things. Like the Blazer, it keeps popping with warnings. I have McAfee and it is current.

This is a replacement for my 2018 Lenovo desktop. Much smaller & very zippy. I'm very happy with it.

Love the machine for the price of it. Does everything I need it do as far as documents, email, and games.

The HP OmniDesk Slim is a good choice for someone needing more ports than a mini PC but not wanting to go up to a full size desktop. #Unboxing and first impressions# HP deserves to be commended for using so much reasily recyclable packaging. The packing materials were almost all cardboard, and there were paper based protective covers on some of the cables instead of plastic. There was a plastic bag around the OmniDesk itself, though. Still, I love to see well thought out cardboard packing instead of foam and plastic. Otherwise there isn't much to say about this unit. The keyboard and mouse are the standard lowest-price wired fare you get with computers like this. #Using the OmniDesk slim# There isn't much to write home about for this PC - it performs nearly identically to a mini PC that I have which shares the same CPU, actually. Given the relatively simple cooling system, that's not surprising. The Omnidesk has a shroud around the CPU coolor which essentially cuts the overall volume of the case in two - the CPU fan pulls cool air from outside the case, pushes it down across the heatsink (and M.2 SSD) and then out to the rest of the case. Since the overall volume of the case is much larger than a mini PC, it probably is more thermally efficient for burst workloads than a mini, but since it only has one fan it's not going to perform that much better over a long enough job. Since the likely target audience fo this PC will not be running the Ryzen 7445 CPU at full tilt for hours on end, the cooling meets the needs. You get a ton of USB ports with this machine - 7 USB-A (several of which are 5gbps ports) and a USB-C port for 10gbps USB. The Omnidesk ships with 8GB of RAM installed (as a DDR5 SODIMM) and there is a free slot to expand easily. Since it's using SODIMMs (laptop memory) it's possible this will be a little cheaper given the state of the memory market. This model DOES NOT have any PCIe expansion slots or SATA ports internally. There is no expandability inside the case itself, just the many USB ports. #Final thoughts# Despite the high price relative to PCs just a year ago, the OmniDesk is a decent value compared to some other options. It's a good performer and simple for most folks to use. Since it uses SODIMMs, it's probably slightly cheaper to add memory if you choose to. Otherwise, this machine is unremarkable and 'just works' for most of what many households will need a PC for.

The HP OmniDesk with the Ryzen 7 has some things I liked right away. Physically, it was simple to set up, and I liked the included mouse and keyboard. Getting everything connected was straightforward, which is what I want from a desktop computer. The software setup was a different experience. There were too many hoops to jump through before I could get in and start using it. Between the online-account sign-in, consent options, privacy settings, and registration prompts, the process felt more involved than it needed to be. I turned off the optional settings I didn’t want, but I would have preferred a simpler path to the desktop. That said, I separate those setup frustrations from the computer’s hardware, which was my main focus. My biggest concern with the computer itself was memory usage. During my initial checks, it was showing around 68% RAM usage, and getting that percentage down was more difficult than I expected. I didn’t like seeing that much memory already in use before getting into the more demanding things I wanted to do. For regular internet browsing and the basic things people do day to day, I think it’s fine. But once I started loading Chrome and other RAM-heavy processes, I began running into issues. For the way I use a computer, that became the main drawback. I wanted more room to run those applications without memory usage becoming a concern so quickly. All in all, I think it’s a good computer for what it does. I liked the simple physical setup and the mouse and keyboard, and I can see it working for someone with basic everyday needs. Between the software setup experience and the RAM usage, though, it just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Right out the box, the size of this desktop gave me a sense of happiness as I've been needing a space saving option outside of the all-in-one desktops. AMD processor suggests it can handle long hours of productivity and potential gaming sessions, but the limited RAM and memory tells me that it can only host 2 or 3 major game titles that take up a lot of space. Equipped with Windows 11 Home, log ins are easier, and the interface is more simple than Windows 11 Pro. The desktop has built-in Bluetooth and WiFi 6, the most up-to-date being WiFi 7, so it's strong enough to handle today's wireless internet demand. Do not get this thinking you found a cheap gaming PC. Unless you plan to replace memory, ram, and fans, it will not meet your gaming needs. I would say this is good for a pre-teen or teenager that needs to get school work done but doesn't need a big bulky desktop. It could also be meant for someone with a small living space. This is just a desktop. It comes with a standard wired keyboard and mouse. Monitor is sold separately.

Took me a little while to put together a review of this because I wanted to get a little more RAM 8. Gigs is good for basic stuff but I tend to run multiple screens and multiple programs. After getting another 16 GB of RAM, I was ready to get off to the races. This core computer and its components is very good at what it does. It manages three screens now and I typically run three programs at one time including a streaming service. It definitely handles it. Now that's not the actual champion of this computer. The champion is it's slim fit and how it coincides with the flow of my desk. Now I'm going to get a new desk with a holder underneath because it's so slim and so light. Beforehand. I would never trust something so precious like a towered computer but that will not be a problem with this computer. I feel like this thing is super light even after I had the extra ram added to it. I didn't expect it to add much weight but it's definitely light before and after. I highly recommend this to someone who cares about aesthetics and doesn't need ridiculous performance. If you're going to go with the base 8 GB of RAM otherwise put a little juice under it and it's still aesthetically pleasing and it will definitely get the job done.
