HP OMEN - 16.1" QHD Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 - 1TB SSD - Ceramic White

I love this laptop !!! The one star reviews almost made not purchase this item due to what was said in their reviews that I find to be red flags. But I can say everything works smooth for me (but that doesn’t mean they were lying just because I don’t have the same issues as them). Key notes !!!! 1. Yes the gpu is the 115 watt version 2. Rtx 3070 8gb ram version 3. Temps are really good if tweak some stuff 4. The software is really good 5. Yes the screen does wobble because the top half is heavy while the bottom is lite so it’s not balanced well 6. The speaker are good but bass sucks 7. My trackpad works just fine no issues * The fans are loud and when in idle the fans has this high pitch noise that drove me crazy until I fixed fan curves to where I wanted it at and the pitch noise is gone Overall this laptop is a beast I’m playing Doom at 1440p high settings, cpu undervolt, and on balanced power and I’m getting 144 fps with the temps cpu 76 degrees and gpu around 70 degrees as well.

This is THE BEST GAMING LAPTOP Best Buy has at its price point! $1499 is a steal and even at regular price I stand by my statement in terms of performance and value! I come have been through the horrible HP Omen 15 (3070) MSI G76 (3070), Razer 14 (3070), Gigabyte 15 (3080), Asus m15 i9 and Ryzen 9 Versions (3060 & 3070), Asus Rog Strix 17 inch (3060 my favorite) and this Laptop right here should be laptop of year in this price range. The Hinges are solid on this build and many people seem to care about that. Keyboard is well lit and the function key shortcuts are lit as well! (The little things) The screen is sharper than any of the above I mentioned granted they were all fhd so comparing isn’t fair! I work on dual QHD monitors and game on a 4k Sony and on Max settings it handles everything I’ve thrown at it. Fan noise is normal in terms of gaming and thermals are pretty good as well! Battery life (no gaming) gave me about 3-4 hours of web browsing and work not phenomenal but that works for me. The Gen 4 Drive and Ram expandable to 64gb gives room to run as a workstation as it can definitely handle it! Not as heavy as anticipated and the White finish is different

This laptop is great. Very powerful and fast. It has optimus so you can desctivate the crappy igpu and use only the rtx 3070. The screen is good (1440p and 165hz). It runs all games on ultra with a decent amount of fps. If you buy on sale (1499$) is a steal. But right now I’ll recomend to wait for the 3070ti model.

First Impressions are pretty good nice clean gameplay on Minecraft but the only small issue is that the setup is aids. But everything else is fine. Nice clean look nice for the sale price. :)

Bought one and it had the worst screen bleed I have ever seen. Poor build quality issues common with HP this year, according to reddit. I returned this right away, but now Best Buy is not getting me a replacement for almost 2 weeks.

I wanted a white QHD laptop with a 3070, so this seemed to be a good fit. First unit had a dead pixel. Second unit ran terribly for a few hours and now won’t turn on at all. I would recommend looking at something different.

I ordered this laptop because I was looking to get something that was portable for school, and also for gaming a bit, the screen looks great and it runs good but the issues I had with this laptop were: 1.It arrived with a dead pixel 2. Trackpad gets out of control often don’t know why.

This is a fantastic and powerful mid-level gaming laptop that you'd have no problem taking to a coffee shop or library to also get some work done if necessary. The screen is nice and bright, there are enough ports to connect external devices like mouse and keyboard without the use of a hub. If you needed more USB ports, the USB-C port is available for expansion. The RTX 3070 is the Max-Q variant, so it's capped at 115 watts but for if you're interested in games such as FFXIV or other such titles, this machine can handle it just fine. Inside, there is plenty of space for future expansion. I believe this model's RAM can be upgraded up to 64g, but the 16g that it comes with is plenty for my needs right now. I use a set of HyperX Cloud S wireless headphones with Mic and everyone says that I now said even better, so the soundcard on this device is truly fantastic. Sounds in all my games sound even better, and my previous computer had an HD Sound card. Now I'm hearing ambient sounds I had no idea where in my games and music sounds even better. Also, if you're concerned about heat from the GPU, don't be. The cooling system HP has installed on this model does a fantastic job. I've got mine placed on an elevated cooling pad out of an abundance of caution, but honestly, the system's automatic mode does a fine job and it doesn't get that loud (compared to other gaming laptops - perspective is key here). Honestly, for the sale price of $1500, it's a fantastic option for someone looking for something different (you don't see many white laptops), with a gorgeous keyboard (you have the option to turn the RGB lights off through the software if you don't like it, but I personally do like it - I have it set to the Starlight, in slow and Ocean colorway and its simply beautiful), with a lovely bright 16 inch screen. It's a tiny bit heavier than the laptop its replacing, a 2019 Acer Helios 300 Predator that died Christmas Eve. This was my Christmas gift to myself - what a tremendous upgrade. Battery life is short because it needs a lot of power to feed the components and battery sizes currently can only be big and still be safe. For my needs, this is fine as the machine is primarily a gaming laptop to it stays put on my desk. It does have a battery saver mode when being out and about. The charging brick is a bit big but it needs to be. I recommend a padded laptop bag for transporting this laptop with the charging brick separately, as the screen/lid feels a bit delicate and I can see it getting damaged by the weight of the charging brick. It does come with Windows 11. Be Warned. If you don't like Windows 11.... *shrug* so far, I haven't had any issues. It's been very smooth. Truly, if you're on the fence about purchasing (especially now that it's on sale), I'd take the plunge and get it. It isn't one of the more popular models like the Asus g15 but it's SO GOOD. Give it a shot.
