    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.

    Fantastic machine. Great frame rate, great look! Has all the bells and whistles. Purchased for gaming and as a replacement for an older laptop, and it is amazing! It is a bit heavy because of all that it can do, and the battery life while playing bigger games is just ok. Great for plugged-in gameplay!

    This is a zippy computer, beautiful display, but if battery life is important to you, seek a different computer. I get about an hour doing routine stuff... not gaming! Extra charging cable is going to run you another hundred dollars. I use it for some high-level calculations and minimal gaming. Wanted the NVidia graphics due to crispness and clarity.

    Best Laptop for that casual gamer

    I had an HP OMEN from 2016 that I used heavily while being in the military, deployed 2 times, and gamed hard on it for almost 10 years. It was great for what I needed. It finally started to show its age and I decided to buy another OMEN. Thankfully, HP came out with this new OMEN that's far beyond what I had, and it's fantastic. For the price, I feel that it beats other laptops in the mid-tier space. I've always wanted more than low-tier but could never afford top-tier stuff, so if you want something that works well for basically any game, streaming, social media, school work, and all-around machine that can do it all, this is it. You can put another NVMe SSD for more storage, and RAM is upgradable but 32 GB is enough. And connecting to an external monitor is super easy if you go that route. All in all, its a great Laptop that should last close to 10 yrs or more.

    Good product. I run AutoCad LT - this laptop seems to run this with no issues. It is a bit on the heavy side, but not overly weighty. When I use it w/o being plugged in, the battery level appears to drop quickly.

    Great for Gaming, Bad for Portability

    This laptop is very good at gaming. I thought that the RTX 5060 in it would be too weak to run some games, but STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, a very resource-hungry game, ran perfectly fine at High settings at 1080p and 60fps. However, that’s not to say that this laptop has issues. The battery life is somewhat low, running out within an hour or two on HP’s “Eco” setting in the Omen app, and with the graphics device set to the Integrated CPU graphics. That’s my only major complaint; the laptop genuinely is the best one I’ve owned, and I’d highly recommend it if you want a (somewhat) cheap gaming laptop.

    if you can get this low $1500's i'd say get this this laptop shatters expectations perfect combo of cpu and gpu . and if you have a external monitor gsync it is crisp and super smooth (via usb c to dp) high fps in most AAA games runs cool too lastly the optimization settings will shock u performance and unleashed the TGP (total graphics power) can get up to 115+ watts 1080, 1440p you will not be disappointed

    I've had this laptop for over a month now and it runs smoothly when playing games and browsing the web. I play games on high graphics settings and do not experience lag or frame drops. The screen and keyboard are the right size for me. A few issues I have are that the fans can get pretty loud when I do play games, especially The Sims 2 (with mods), The Sims 4 and Baldur's Gate III. Another issue I've been running into is that it doesn't connect to wifi right away at times and I have to manually click connect. This doesn't happen all the time but it does on occasion. It is also pretty heavy and the charger is huge so portability is not that easy. Overall, I am satisfied and those few gripes are pretty minor for what I intend to use this laptop for.

    Im really new when it comes to gaming laptops, but I can tell this is a great product, it runs all my games smoothly at the max settings, since I bought this laptop, I have not play my PS5. If you used the laptop unplugged, it gives you like 2-4 hours of gaming (depends of the game). The fans can be a little noisy, but with headphones you can barely hear them.

    I’m very satisfied with this HP Omen 16. The AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX CPU and NVIDIA RTX 5060 GPU deliver strong performance — games run smoothly at 1080p and 1440p, and even heavy tasks like video editing or multitasking feel effortless. The 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD give plenty of memory and storage speed, so I don’t worry about lag or long load times. The 16″ 2K 144 Hz screen looks sharp and fluid, which makes gaming and work both pleasant. Build and cooling are solid — the laptop stays stable during long gaming or editing sessions. Overall this feels like a powerful, well-rounded laptop for games, work, and creative tasks — a great choice if you want next-gen performance without going overboard on budget.

    Solid all-around performance: With its Ryzen 9 + RTX 5060 + 32 GB RAM + 1 TB SSD, Omen 16 is very capable for compile-heavy development, ML experiments (small models), multitasking, and resource-heavy workloads.

    Works great for my son and his school work. He was needing a fast processer, that's why we went with this laptop. So far it hasn't disappointed.

    I bought this laptop on sale for $1279, you cant find these specs for less than $1300 currently. The laptop isn’t perfect but, in my experience thus far, its a great laptop. It crushes any game I have thrown at it on high/ultra depending on the title. Like someone else mentioned, the screen does have some sort of weird aspect ratio which I eventually got used to. It is loud when gaming but its trying to keep everything cool in a small space… noise levels are within my expectations; cant really hear it with my headset on. If you can get it at or under $1300, its a good deal. At almost $1600, I would rather spend the extra money for a lenovo.

    Specs on the laptop are great for the price and runs well. I would recommend it only if you’re planning on having it plugged in while using. The battery life is awful unfortunately. While running the lowest graphics and display settings & just doing simple tasks, drops 60%-70% an hour. Hard to focus when the battery percentage is moving faster than the clock. Ultimately, I decided to return in. Didn’t even try to game on it without having it plugged in so I’d be surprised if it lasted longer than 35 mins. Only practical if you’re planning on having multiple batteries on standby. Also felt like I was picking up Thanos’ hammer with how heavy it was.

    Fantastic purchase! I’m normally a desktop guy but as I’ve been settling down with my family, I needed a machine I could use while being around my family rather than secluding myself to my room with my desktop. This machine solves being able to game and code while being around my family with little to no loss in performance. As is its nature, plugging in the laptop does bring out the best performance but on its battery it does pretty well! The price point is also a huge plus! For what you’re paying for, it’s a great deal. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase.
