    Overall it’s a good option for a mid tier gaming experience. It run most of my games (EA play and Xbox app) on a high quality without any issues. Another positive thing is that it doesn’t make a lot of noises compared to other gaming laptops. The only down side is the battery life which doesn’t last more than an hour on a the hybrid mode . You’ll need to have your charger at all times.

    This laptop runs extremely well. I use this for engineering and architecture programs and it works extremely well. For games, it is quick and smooth. However, the battery life does not last very long. As long as you can find ways to conserve the battery, it works great. Always have the charger by you.

    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.

    This laptop is hyped up for its “amazing fan” that is has to keep your laptop cool at all times … this laptop gets so hot It couldve burnt a hole through my desk. Another thing is the battery life is so short you go from 100% to 20% within minutes. My account seems to get logged out so I have to constantly resign in to enter my pin to get into my laptop. All of this happens even when you have absoluetly no games downloaded yet. Not sure why not a single authetic review video was made.

    Picked this thing up for on sale for $1300 and some change! So far it has been nothing short of amazing! I had an omen back in 2000 had at 10th gen intel with a rtx 2060 300hz screen that was also amazing! Its nice to have a nice computer with nice specs at a decent price. Runs everything flawless got rid of my onexplayer f1 pro. Loved the handheld aspect but performance was lacking. Had to have a good experience on Doom: The Dark Ages its perfect. Didnt feel like building another computer but i def trust hp and the omen line up! Glad i didnt jump for the transcend model underpowered gpu in exchange for slim and oled not worth it! Port selection could be better but for the price no complaints. Dont give a crap about battery life play plugged in or dont play at all its a gaming laptop

    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.

    A steal for 1150

    At the time of writing this review I have had this laptop for a lil over a month and I have been greatly impressed. I upgraded from a dell g7 I had for 7 years and wanted another gaming laptop, but one that had a design that didnt scream “gamer” and had the specs for some heavy gaming on the side for 1200. After searching for a bit, I discovered this laptop that fit everything I was looking for. Wasnt as expensive as the zephyrus g14 and 16 and appeared sleeker than the tuff a16 and legion 5. The specs of 1150 is definitely a steal. So far I had no issues with the laptop regarding performance as cpu and gpu temps have remained below 80C while gaming. Regarding productivity, the laptop has also done good in this area (granted i did wish the cpu wasnt power hungry, but its based off an older amd generation). That said, besides the battery and wifi card placement, I have no issues with the laptop especially for its build quality (being apart of Hp and their known hinge and hallmark problems). Personally id recommend it if ur looking for a laptop at the 1200 mark as other laptops around that range would cut corners either by the cpu, storage or ram and would cost 100-200 more for the same specs.

    I'll admit that I'm new to pc gaming. This seemed like a good purchase to get my feet wet. I'm a college student and a gamer, so I needed something that could handle heavy use. This has exceeded that expectation. Not only am I able to run multiple programs at a time with zero issues, but I can also play my favorite games like ARC Raiders on the highest settings with buttery smooth performance. Coming from console, it seems extravagant and excessive and I love every minute of it.

    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.

    I've had it a feew weeks now, played old and new titles. Despite people badmouthing the 5060 GeForce it actually does really well when stacked with this CPU and other specs in this machine. The build, feel and use of this machine is very simple, smooth and fast. I suggest setting the OMEN app to a much lower temp to enable fan speeds at lower temps to keep cool. I never see 80 Celsius while playing @2560x1440 at med-high, all ray tracing and effects on even for titles like Cyberpunk. The DLSS keeps me around 166-174FG or FPS. Great budget PC, honestly

    For the money, it's a great gaming laptop. It runs everything from GTA V to Need For Speed Unbound on max graphics with no issues. I played need for speed 2015 with Unleashed selected in the Omen gaming hub, and NFS 2015 which is a 10 year old game looked and performed absolutely flawlessly. The customizable color on the RGB keyboard is nice too. Pretty bright so gaming in the dark is easy. So far, for the price, it's performed great.

    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.
