    HP Omen always is great

    I always love the HP omen brand of gaming laptops. The design is not overly obnoxious gamer laptop and everything works well.. The laptop does get pretty hot, right out of the box i was getting temps of 100c on graphic intensive games, so use a cooling pad. The other negative for me is that it only has 1 SSD slot, meaning you have to clone and replace the ssd if you want to upgrade the size of your storage. Other than that, this is my 3rd omen so far and they have all met or exceeded my expectations.

    This is my first gaming laptop. It runs excellently with great graphics. It can run WoW all day as well as many cozy and open world games on Steam w no crashing. It does get hot so I recommend an additional cooling mat/fan. You get about 40-60 m of gaming before battery runs out, so I typically leave it plugged in except to give the charger a rest sometimes. Also this is great for web browsing and streaming. I love this laptop and am so glad I got it!

    Amazing Laptop

    This laptop had me questioning the performance based on what I was reading per the other reviews and comparing this laptop to other laptops of this standard. I can say I made a good choice picking this one up. It can run my main game Rainbow Six Siege at high settings at 144fps on avg, it plays Fortnite easily, it played SCUM easily without any visual tearing or fps dropping. It’s not a heavy laptop either which is a huge plus when I have to carry around a monitor and other heavier equipment with me on top of it. It has enough USB ports and THANKFULLY it has an Ethernet port on top of that!!!! Not many laptops these days offer an Ethernet port into the laptop. Overall a 10/10 for me.

    Amazing Gaming/Work/School Laptop

    Amazing laptop runs games super smoothly such as Baldur's Gate, Fortnite, Roblox, and Overwatch with high to medium graphic settings on those games! I'm able to have Chrome tabs open at the same time as games, and Discord open at the same time as games as well with great performance. It also has a pretty good battery life even in the gaming graphics mode (discrete mode), with it lasting me a few hours on full battery before needing a charge at 20%. The battery life is probably double that in hybrid graphics mode. I've been able to have a crazy amount of tabs open with no delays or lag on any of them, and it has been a great work laptop, school laptop, and gaming laptop. I highly recommend it as a more affordable gaming laptop option as a college student myself.

    Good performance for a Laptop

    So I bought this gaming laptop to be used as a mid level gaming machine. It performs really well for a laptop. My main complaint is that games took unusually long to load and sometimes the machine seemed to struggle if too many tasks or programs were running in background. For example Warzone would take 4.5 minutes just to boot up. I just got a new gaming DESKTOP and it takes 10 seconds to boot Warzone. At the end of the day if you want intensive gaming out of this…. Get a desktop. They are simply better for only a little less money. I ended up giving this laptop to my wife and it will crush it for her needs of every day use.

    This laptop delivers an excellent amount of performance, is extemely capable, and surprisingly quiet while maintaining low temperatures. Loved the customizeable keyboard lighting. Overall a great deal, does exactly what it was made to and provides a great experience.

    It works. I wish I got a different laptop though. It has an odd charger plug that I'm not fond of. It's a bit heavy, but for the price, it's a decent laptop. I mostly use it for work so I throw a lot at it and it handles it all. Visual Studio, Edge, Outlook, Excel (Lots), and more. No issues, not much lag if any. If there is any it's for a quick second. I'd recommend it for price vs performance.

    I got this on sale, definitely worth every penny. Use it constantly for gaming, and schooling. It’s fast as heck, and games look amazing. Battery gets hot as heck but I just check on it every hour or so (when gaming) Refresh rate and display quality are awesome. 10/10

    excellent laptop with high gaming capabilities and extreme processing power. ive only ever encountered 2 issues with this beast of a laptop. one is the fans are very loud which is to be expected, and secondly the cooling code for omen might be bugged as occasionally the laptop will heat heavily before cooling kicks in. overall id recommend

    No matter the game, the graphics never disappoint. Thw keyboard has a highly satisfying feel and a easy-to-navigate color customization software. This laptop is surprisingly not heavy to travel with. Apart from the high performance quality, it's sleek look is a huge bonus. Perfect choice as my 1st gaming laptop.

    HP OMEN - Worth It

    I have really enjoyed my hp omen laptop. I do not use it for gaming but I teach xr and ai. I had to upgrade because I need to be able to use blender and unity and was struggling with my last HP. My only issue has been the laptop just stopped recognizing my wifi but with some research I was able to fix it. Seems it’s happened to a few people so there were posts on a fix. I got an 32 inch 4K monitor with it and have been happy.

    This laptop is amazing for almost every game. Negatives are that it only has 8gb Vram which can be very limiting, and the air vents on the bottom of the laptop is a horrible design flaw. The bottom vents get gunked with dust within 2-3 weeks. The fan also sounds like a leafblower. The black levels also leave something to be desired.

    Great All-Around Laptop

    A solid machine suitable for a wide range of tasks: gaming, schoolwork, music production, coding, and video editing. CPU temperatures can get a bit high in Performance mode, but it still delivers 60+ FPS in AAA titles like Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, Final Fantasy XVI, and Space Marine 2, and over 165 FPS in competitive games such as CS2, Valorant, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, League of Legends, and Rainbow Six: Siege on Balanced mode. It has a few drawbacks, but none of them are dealbreakers. Personally, I believe it was the best laptop available for $1000 at the time of purchase. Pros: Responsive touchpad, bright and vibrant display, compact keyboard layout (no numpad) Cons: Mediocre Wi-Fi module, weak speakers, Intel CPU (runs hotter than AMD)

    I absolutely love this laptop! I use it for both graduate school and for gaming and the performance is fantastic. I was worried about over heating and battery life but it has been fantastic in both regards even when im running the RAM to near max capacity for data analysis

    This laptop has been heaven since my last one working at incredible speeds for whatever experience I've needed it to I've used it for business academic and gaming at it has ran beautifully on all 3 the HDMI prot allowing you to set it up or external displays the Ethernet cable for a speedy gaming experience and even without that the wireless signal is beautiful on WiFi that usually gives me trouble on other devices the display has beautiful graphics that have run high power games like Warframe and apex legends at speeds of 165 fps and higher. You can further augment the laptop by going into the setting and turning on the gaming mode which will make the laptop use more power but also increase the laptops performance running at speeds no slower then 180 fps this laptop has been beautiful to me well done.

    the performance is good, the battery could be better , and other thing if you’re a content creator it might not be the right choice for you because it doesn’t support HDR , you can just watch videos with HDR but you can’t create content using HDR unless you connect it to an other monitor that supports HDR .

    Worked fantastic the first year. Seems like HP pushed a bios update that messed it up, started having problems with display/keyboard not working or flashing on and off. Sending for repair soon. Buy the protection!!
