Customer Ratings & Reviews

Was great for about a year with absolutely no problems. Suddenly became unusable after a year with no apparent cause. There seems to be a problem with the screen that is common with this computer. Screen and keyboard blinks in and out making it unusable and other reviews we’ve seen have all reported a similar timeline with this very same issue (about a year and 3 months). We should have done more research before purchase.

My product it's very good, I have happy whit my computer

The battery only lasted 20-30 minutes which was disappointing.

It's okay, but the TDP of the GPU is 80w. The touch of the Trackpad is not very good, the keyboard leaves a lot to be desired, the image is good, the sound is very good. If you are looking for Gaming, there are better options than this HP Omen.

Wasnt really impressed. I think because i specifically asked for a laptop that could handle 4k gaming and when asked the salesman, i was told 100% this laptop can do it . When all reality i got it home it would only push 1080p and not being able to max out settings. Unfortunately i took it back and now doing my own research know which laptop specs i need to play 4k max settings. Ill still be buying from bestbuy eitherway.

Laptop crashed with the “blue screen of death” after only having it for 10 days. I was not even using its processing power at the time. Huge disappointment. I took it back

**HP Omen (2023): High-Performance Gaming Laptop with Impressive Power** The HP Omen (2023) is a powerhouse designed for gamers and performance enthusiasts. Equipped with an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, it delivers outstanding performance in even the most demanding games and creative applications. The 15.6-inch Full HD display with a 144Hz refresh rate provides smooth, immersive visuals, while the audio quality is crisp, enhancing the overall gaming experience. Battery life is decent for a gaming laptop, offering around 6-7 hours during lighter use, but expect much less during intensive gaming sessions. The keyboard is responsive with customizable RGB lighting, and the cooling system effectively manages heat during extended gaming marathons. While the HP Omen may be on the heavier side, its exceptional performance and sleek design make it a top choice for gamers looking for a reliable, high-performance laptop.

Got first of these models ran into kernal security check failure. Reaplaces the computer and same thing. Cant find a fix. Cant even stup computer

I bought this laptop after my dell g15 5530 gave up on me after overheating, only after I owned it for one year. My new OMEN is beautifully designed, and I instantly noticed how much thought the designer put into making sure the system stays cool. This is especially important for a gaming laptop since a PC has a lot more room inside to make sure the components that heat up have room to breathe. My OMEN has a beautiful display with a great screen refreshment rate compared to other laptops at the price range which are usually 120, this one is 165Hz. I like how you have the option to customize the backlight of the keyboard (some colors certainly look better than other however). The font used for the keys will likely be different from what you're used to - it's certainly different I can't say that I like it better than the normal font I'm used to seeing on other computers to be honest, it's certainly not bad, however. I also think that getting a CPU and GPU that take too much battery and heat up too much isn't ideal for a laptop so I think the specs that I get with this laptop are just about right. I can play any modern game with these specs and usually at the highest resolution too. With this laptop you should be good to handle any games the developers might through at you for another 3 years at least. It's a beautiful piece of work. On the final note I think the battery is the best you can expect considering everything. You will not be able to game for more than an hour if you're not plugged in. However, if I'm just doing my homework, this laptop will last for 2.5 hours no problem under the right settings.

I bought this to replace my son’s 6 year old Acer Nitro laptop that had problems for a couple of years with overheating & the keys not working right. I can’t even begin to tell you how happy this made a 16 year old on Christmas. We were at his grandma’s house when he opened it, so he was thinking he’d have to wait until we were home to play any good games (her internet speeds are abysmal, like 7-10 mbps), but even with fighting cousins for bandwidth, this thing was fantastic. As soon as we got home, he set the graphics on No Man’s Sky to the highest level & had to come show me how great it looked and how fast everything was running. For a grumpy teenager, he has a pretty big smile on his face whenever he talks about his games now. The only downside is that the only time I see him is when he’s hungry or if the internet goes out.

The HP OMEN 16.1" has been the perfect balance between my schoolwork and my gaming hobby. For classes, it’s fast, responsive, and handles everything from research to video calls with ease. The 16GB of DDR5 memory and 1TB SSD mean I can multitask without slowdown, and I never have to worry about running out of storage for assignments or media. When it’s time to game, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 paired with the 165Hz display really shines. Games look smooth, vibrant, and incredibly detailed, and the refresh rate makes a big difference in responsiveness. It runs my intermediate-level games flawlessly, with plenty of power to spare for more demanding titles. The build quality feels solid, the keyboard is comfortable for long study sessions or gaming marathons, and the cooling system keeps everything running efficiently. I also love the sleek Shadow Black design — it looks professional for school but still has that subtle gamer edge. If you need a laptop that can excel at both productivity and gaming, the HP OMEN is a fantastic choice.

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!

I’ve been using the HP OMEN 16.1” gaming laptop for a few months now and I’m extremely impressed. The Intel Core i7 combined with 16GB DDR5 RAM and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 makes this machine a powerhouse. Games run flawlessly at high settings, and the 165Hz refresh rate really enhances the gameplay experience with smooth visuals. The 1TB SSD provides plenty of storage and fast load times, and the overall build quality is excellent. I also appreciate the clean and sleek Shadow Black design feels premium without being flashy. Battery life is decent for a gaming laptop, and the cooling system handles heat well, even during long gaming sessions. Whether you’re gaming, editing, or just multitasking heavily, this laptop performs like a champ. Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-tier gaming performance at a reasonable price!

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

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)

The HP OMEN 16.1" is a powerful all-rounder, perfect for anyone needing serious performance for both gaming and demanding tasks like video editing or complex software. Packed with an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of lightning-fast DDR5 memory, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card, and a quick 1TB SSD, this laptop ensures smooth operation and rapid loading times. Its 16.1-inch Full HD display with a 165Hz refresh rate offers incredibly fluid visuals, making games look stunning and everyday use feel super responsive. Plus, its sleek Shadow Black design gives it a sophisticated look that fits in anywhere, avoiding the overly flashy aesthetics often found in gaming laptops. While the HP OMEN 16.1" excels in performance, it's important to remember that as a powerful 16-inch gaming laptop, it's not the most compact or lightest option for constant travel, and like most high-performance machines, battery life will be shorter during intensive use. However, its robust cooling system does a good job of managing heat during long sessions. Overall, if you're seeking a single, high-performance laptop that can effortlessly switch between intense gaming and serious productivity, this HP OMEN is a strong contender that delivers on its promises.

I've had this laptop for a little over a week now. Battery life is pretty good when doing light work, gaming I get a little over an hour which is fair. When plugged in I can play most games on high settings getting 60+fps but when I'm running on battery i can barely play anything unless I use the Nvidia geforce panel to optimize the games. You can't adjust the tdp and the omen hub to boost performance, change graphics card settings etc is slow and laggy. This mobo is also locked so you don't have access to advance settings in the bios which is ridiculous. I do like the screen though. It's a good size laptop and the keyboard feels nice. This is a good laptop for someone who just wants a laptop that can do everyday things and play games casually without tinkering with any settings. I will be returning this for something better.

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 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.

I like the look and feel of this laptop. It doesn't get too hot but does stay warm. I only play here and there with it off the battery charger so not sure how long it would go. Love all the light features. Overall it's a nice light weight basic laptop and hope to enjoy it for a couple years.
