HP OMEN - 15.6" Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 - 512GB SSD

This is a fun little laptop! I should have held out for a 17 inch but with an external monitor it's a gaming beast. I primarily play Warzone and Omen gets as many frames as my 3080. Make sure to get a mini-display to display port cable. I also added a 1TB NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 because 500GB isn't enough and the one that came with it was Gen3 (see pics). Back of laptop comes off easily. Only complaints I have and why I didn't give it 5 stars: FEDEX sucks for shipping and I paid extra to have it delivered at earliest date. Laptop was late and I wish companies wouldn't use them. The stickers on the laptop aren't aligned correctly which is more a quality problem (see pics).

Better than I expected! I really though that the 10750H was going to be a huge bottleneck for the 3070 Max-Q, but so far, it is on par with the Ryzen 5 3600 I have on my current PC. I was looking to purchase this laptop to replace my ~$800 PC and I am satisfied! I don't like the fact that it only came with 512GB of storage, but I do like that they have an additional M.2 slot for another SSD. I bought a 1TB Samsung SSD for this laptop and upgrading is fairly easy and only took me 5 minutes. Fans do get impressively fast and loud, but are only at its fastest when Performance mode is turned on. For games older than 3 years, leaving the mode on Comfort will still yield high frames per second with quiet fans and low CPU temperature. If you do get this laptop, I highly suggest installing ThrottleStop, as the current CPU configuration has BD PROCHOT enabled, which throttles the CPU, even if the CPU temperature is only at 75 degrees. I've always had this program running and monitored the CPU temperature and it never surpassed 80 degrees on older games, and 92 degrees on more demanding games with the fan speed on auto. Without ThrottleStop, I've experienced a lot of stuttering with FPS ranging from 15 to 200 frames in Black Ops Cold War, which is a very odd feeling. Build quality is excellent, except for the fact that the screen casing is made out of very flexible plastic. I don't really mind though because it is mostly on my desk. I haven't had the opportunity to travel with this PC yet, and the flexible screen may cause an issue when in my backpack. The 300Hz 1080p panel is AMAZING. Low latency, OLED Screen for darker blacks, and 1080p is sufficient for a 15 inch laptop. The i7 and 3070 is great for competitive titles especially with the 300Hz screen. For portable use, HP really makes it easy for you to squeeze as many hours as it can to bring this laptop on the go. In the OMEN Gaming Hub app which is preinstalled, you can switch between the integrated graphics and the 3070. I'd also change the refresh rate to 60 or 100 Hz so that the monitor isn't eating battery so quickly. Keyboard has a fantastic layout as it is the same layout as my desktop keyboard. It also has all of the Media functions, lit up in LED so I don't have to tab out of what every I am doing to change a song on Spotify. I really hope that there are no issues with this laptop down the road, as I am really happy with this purchase. This laptop is a great replacement for my desktop and laptop, which combined is more than what this laptop costs.

Model I have is Rtx 3070 and i7 10750 5.0 ghz So I've had this for about a week and I'm blown away! With some gpu and windows optimization I was able to run Black Ops cold war at 160-240fps at 73c bf4 at 200 fps rocket league at 250 this Gaming laptop is the bast bang for your buck only down side is the 500gb ssd which is easy to upgrade. This is using the 1080 300hz gsync laptop screen

Super light and the screen is amazing. Keyboard lights up and feels really nice

Great performance and nice temperature after uv/oc the cpu and gpu. Only downside is fan noise on idle. I think there is an option on the bios for that...

I was very excited as I play Call of Duty but the screen is too dark for me and the charger gets too hot.

Product works well, but arrived with dead pixels (2) Kinda sucks when you pay $2000 I purchased it used as excellent certified to avoid this.

I've had my Omen since 2021 and runs almost identical to when i originally got it. It has well payed itself off with how much it has handled considering im a student and i love gaming.
