Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pretry Amazing Laptop . Im no top notch gamer, but love a sturdy niche laptop that can run modern day games smoothly. Get your moneys worth. Went from an HP Envy x360 to this & its such a beast. Worth every cent, I got it for sale. Worth the 1.3k Amazing run time.

Very nice quality especially for discounted price, would recommend. However runs very hot, especially the cpu

My kid loves gaming on it. Gets him closer to the family and allows him to still game with his friends.

The performance isn’t that strong. Windows comes with a bunch of stuff pre-installed, including McAfee antivirus, and when I tried to remove it, Windows stopped working, so I had to format the PC. I wouldn’t recommend it.

I bought the HP Omen 16 thinking I was getting a gaming laptop. Turns out I accidentally purchased a performance monster disguised as a laptop. The Ryzen 9 + RTX 5060 combo is no joke. Games load fast, run smooth, and look amazing on the 2K 144Hz display. Everything feels ridiculously responsive — from AAA titles to having 27 Chrome tabs open because I “might need them later.” The 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD mean I don’t even think about storage or multitasking anymore. It just handles it. No drama. Now let’s be honest — when you push it hard, the fans wake up and choose violence. It gets warm and you’ll definitely hear it. But that’s the sound of power doing its thing. I call it “jet mode.” Battery life? It’s a gaming laptop. You don’t buy this to write poetry in a park all day unplugged. Plug it in and let it eat. Build quality feels solid, the screen is crisp and smooth, and overall it feels premium without costing kidney-level money. Bottom line: If you want serious performance in a clean-looking machine and don’t mind a little fan noise when you’re pushing it, this thing absolutely delivers. Zero regrets. My games are happy. I am happy.

This computer's overall performance is very poor. The color is dull no matter how I try to brighten it. The cursor consistently gets stuck on a black line even thought I sent it in for repair

Terrible laptop. When watching videos it is glitchy only showing an image on partial.

Performance and price point come together in this gaming laptop, in a nice little package. The RTX5060 handles medium to high gaming demands without issue. Others have stated battery life issues to be subpar and I concur. Although switching to the integrated graphics of the Ryzen 9 CPU while on battery, and lowing the power demanding processes in the settings, can get you double the battery you would otherwise have. Plugged in, this unit performs well. Heat issues are a non factor, although the fans are noticeably audible when the system is working. I’ve had this unit just under a month and it has performed exactly as I expected it to. Recommend to find on sale.

Excellent performance and a great 2K 144Hz display. The Ryzen 9 and RTX 5060 handle modern games and multitasking with ease, and 32GB of RAM is a big plus. Build quality feels solid and thermals are well-managed. My only real complaint is the trackpad—it works fine but doesn’t feel as responsive or premium as the rest of the laptop. Majority of users will use a mouse so its not that big of an issue. Battery life is average for a gaming laptop, but overall this is a strong and reliable choice.

Laptop is very powerful, and thermals even under 100% load is great (85/87 c). The laptop frame is solid and does not bend easily. Fans are on the quiter side for laptops but you will still notice them. Only issues with the laptop is the hp/omen software, on idle by default the cpu will draw ~30 to ~40 watts, but performance was not really affected (difference of less than 5-8 fps on games). I can get roughly 2 hours of use out of the box, normal for a gaming laptop. Before you buy check if the laptop contains liquid metal paste or cryonic compound, those two are are conductive and can damage the laptop if you try to replace it. If you dont plan on changing either one of those yourself it will not be an issue. Solid buy if on sale, but consider getting rid of the hp bloatware.

I was recommended this laptop by a BestBuy employee. I do a lot of video editing and gaming and this laptop is so much faster than my old one. It's not too heavy and the graphics are beautiful. There are also side vents which stops the laptop from getting too hot.

I purchased the HP Omen 16 (2025) with 32GB RAM, RTX 5060, 1TB SSD, and Ryzen 9 HX, and it has exceeded my expectations. Performance is incredibly smooth for both gaming and 3D modeling. The RTX 5060 handles modern games on high settings with great frame rates, and the Ryzen 9 with 32GB RAM makes multitasking effortless. The 1TB SSD ensures fast boot times and plenty of storage. Cooling is solid, and the build quality feels premium. Overall, an excellent balance of power and value. Highly recommend!

The HP Omen is an amazing machine. The speed, performance, and display are all top-notch. There is only one downside, and it could be a deal breaker for mobile users. The battery life isn't great. On the Eco setting, I can get about 5 to 6 hours of use just doing regular browsing or working in Word or Excel. But if you try to play a game on the battery, you are lucky if you can get a couple of hours before it's at 20%. The battery life is not something that really concerns me, because I intend to dock it and use it as my primary desktop. The fact that I can undock it and use it as a laptop is an added benefit for me. The laptop does get hot when it's running at max output, so make sure you have it on a surface where it can get good air intake. Some reviews have said the fan is loud, but I don't notice it. The Omen has been able to run every game I have thrown at it without any issues. If you can catch it on sale, like I did, it's totally worth it.

I cannot tell you this thing is better than others. I don’t have a lot to compare it to. My old computer was the HP pavilion. All I can tell you is this computer is very fast, the battery life is about 30 minutes of gaming. I use it on a cooling pad and it runs ice cold. It is a beautiful laptop and I don’t have anything to complain about except I wish it had a display port. But you can run an HDMI cord to achieve 144 HZ to a monitor.

A very impressive laptop! It can run a huge variety of games (on "can i run it" it can run 99 of the most popular games) it isn't super heavy and it's a great size. My biggest gripes is that it does get hot kinda quickly and it is kinda loud in my opinion. I cant say much about the battery life because my girlfriend uses it for her programs and when i use it i leave it plugged in so I'm not sure how long the battery actually last but for the price i got it for, it is a fantastic laptop.

This was such a good purchase. The laptop is fast, the graphics are great, and the laptops features are really geared towards gaming but also professional use if your in the tech or digital space. The battery does not last but with a laptop that is as powerful as this one... I would not expect it to keep up without it adding some serious heft to it which then it would lose laptop functionality. Would 100% purchase again!!!

Love this laptop so far! Runs any game I've thrown at it at high settings and also looks beautiful hooked up to my 75" ?ini led tv with gaming inputs. My only complaint would be the battery life, which is terrible. But I didn't expect much, given the high end specs of this and it's also known that to achieve the high level of performance this is capable of, it needs to be plugged in. Not a deal breaker because I didn't buy this for portability outside of the home. Fans can be a bit noisy (just air noise) at times, but again not a big deal. I think the 17" size is perfect for any situation and if you want bigger for gaming it's simple to add an external monitor. I think anyone just getting into gaming and even a seasoned gamer would be happy with this as a whole. I purchased an "open box in excellent condition" for a significant discount and it looks and works like new. Also while the display looks great and works fine, if I was ordering one new, I might consider the upgrade to a 1440p or oled display. But at this price point, you're getting a lot of bang for your buck and I have no complaints.

Got it on sale for around 1300. Much worth it. Runs Tarkov, Battlefield 6, OSRS, anything i've thrown at it. Gaming on battery is trash it lasts 30 min pretty much has to stay plugged in. Low graphics settings for high frames (120-130+), at max settings it gets between 40-60fps. Some design software doesn't play nice with nvidia cards but sest ah la vee

This is nice, I got it at the lowest price of ~$900 so I take it immediately. The specs are good for the price, I can play smoothly for genshin impact and other AAA games. The only drawbacks are battery and noise, so if you are not affected by these two, you should get it (wait until discount, usually the best price is around ~$1200)

Might be kinda long but please read if you’re interested in this laptop. I overall recommend the laptop, for the price it’s very very hard to beat, I got it on sale so it was I think around $1,200. First off bestbuy shipping is very very trash the box came in very damaged so bad the laptop wouldn’t even power on so I had to drive over an hour the next day and exchange it for a replacement, I’m not blaming the laptop for that obviously bc the box was damaged way more then I was okay with because of shipping. Since I’ve gotten my new one it’s worked great with no problems, the real complaint I have about the laptop is the overheating problem, it doesn’t kick the fans on HIGH when u have it in the Auto category meaning you gotta swap it yourself, man heating problem is the fans being on the very bottom so if the laptop is slightly raised it doesn’t get good airflow but if you tilt it up slightly the temp starts dropping fast so when I’m playing a big game like cod, battlefield or even rust I kee a check every 10-15 mins to make sure I’m not pushing over 205 degrees. Fans are loud on HIGH mode but that doesn’t bother me, overall a great laptop runs every game I’ve tried on high graphics with no problem. Only reason for a 4 star is the overheating and the shipping.. also battery life isn’t the best if you don’t keep it on charge, only while gaming tho.
