Amazing desktop for everyday work and moderate gaming. Compact style is also great and save space on the desk.

great value, 700 fps in rocket league, 80 fps in arma reforger on ultra

Sluggish, the specs it should be faster than what it is, trouble playing games that I could play, that my old system could play. Expensive lesson

It has been a long time since I had a desktop gaming PC. The last time I had one I built it from scratch because that was really the only way to get all of the components you wanted. Although that can still be the case, there are many PC’s now a days that you can buy already assembled and they are ready to play games right out of the box. Design: I was shocked when I unboxed this PC do to how small it was. This is the perfect size PC if you want a desktop but are limited on space. It can easily fit on a desk tucked behind your monitors and out of the way. The case has a small window that allows you to see some of the components on the inside, mainly the large CPU fan. Personally, I like the larger glass panel designed but I feel like a little window is better than none. This gives it a real gaming PC feel. Another small pet peeve is that the screw to remove the side panel is not a thumb screw and requires a screwdriver to open it. Since this is a smaller tower, it only has two RAM slots, and it comes with one 16gb ram installed with one slot open. Personally, I wish it had 32gbs of ram but 16 is enough for most people and it is easy enough to upgrade if you wanted. Surprisingly, HP does ship this with a matching white keyboard and wired mouse. However, they are basic, and I would highly recommend using a higher end mouse/keyboard, or controller setup. It is nice that these are included for someone who is just starting though. Ports: Although this is a smaller PC it is not lacking in the ports department. As far as USBs, it has 8 USB-A ports and 2 USB-C ports. I am quite honestly surprised that it does not have more USB-C ports since they take up less space. However, most of my gaming peripherals are still USB-A. There is plenty of placed to plug in all of my peripherals and no need for an extra dongle. The graphics card has 1 HDMI port and 3 display ports. Although I only have 2 monitors connect, presumably you could connect to 4 monitors. Performance: For the price this PC comes with some impressive specs out of the box. The latest Intel Ultra Core 7 offers more than enough power to play all the latest games with 20 total cores. Is processor sites in the mid-range when it comes to high end processors. It comes with a 1TB SSD drive that should be more than enough to load a few games although if you are a hardcore gamer, you will probably want to add an additional drive. The RAM is 16gb of DDR5 memory which can be upgraded if you need it. Of course, the thing that makes or breaks a gaming PC is its graphics card. This has the latest from Nvidia a 5060 TI with 16gb of memory. This graphics card is amazing and helps the PC keep high frame rates and allows you to play any gaming you want without sacrifice. Upgradability: Although upgradability is somewhat limited due to its overall size, there is still room for improvement if you want to give your PC a little boost. You can obviously switch out the SSD with a bigger one but if you don’t want to do that it does have a second slot where you can add a second drive giving you plenty of space for games and storing other things such as videos and pictures. It does have a second RAM slot if you wanted to upgrade to two sticks of RAM. Other than those two upgrades this PC has just about everything else you need to start playing games. Conclusion: Although this PC is built for gaming, It is also a great PC for content creators. With plenty of power to edit photos and videos when you are not gaming. I love the size of it, one of the reasons I have not owned a desktop PC is because I don’t like how much space they take up but that is no issue with the PC. If you are looking for a gaming desktop that is ready to go out of the box and you do not want to build your own, this is a great choice. I think for the price you are getting great components that will keep you going for many years to come even as games evolve.

I have been using the HP OMEN 16L Gaming Desktop for just over one week, and it has significantly exceeded my expectations. With exceptionally rapid load times and remarkably smooth frame rates in the game titles, this computer proficiently manages all tasks I throw at it, whether engaged in an intense racing game or drawing graphics for work. It is undoubtedly a powerful machine. Blazing Performance Right out of the box, Windows 11 Home boots up in minutes with relevant updates, letting me dive straight into gaming or content creation without delay. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F processor delivers rock-solid performance for both high-end gaming and CPU-intensive tasks, multitasking between multiple browser tabs, editing software, and games never causes a hitch. And with AI-enhanced graphics powered by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti (built on the cutting-edge Blackwell architecture), I have witnessed game-changing framerate boosts and real-time ray tracing that brings every scene to life. Future-Ready Memory & Storage Thanks to 16 GB of XPG LANCER DDR5-5600 MT/s RAM, I can keep a dozen applications open simultaneously without ever feeling the slightest slowdown. Large textures, high-res video files, and demanding applications load and switch instantly. The included 1 TB SSD provides lightning-quick read/write speeds, so large installs and asset libraries are accessible in the blink of an eye, no more staring at loading screens. Stylish Extras The included HP USB white wired keyboard and mouse are not just an afterthought; they look great on my desk and feel solid under rapid keystrokes and clicks. Plus, OMEN Light Studio lets me synchronize RGB lighting effects across all supported devices, so my whole setup can pulse and wave in time with the action on screen. After a comprehensive week of rigorous utilization, which included gaming, graphic design tasks, and general productivity activities, the HP OMEN 16L has demonstrated its capability as a versatile and future-ready desktop computer. It effectively meets the demands of high-performance gaming as well as intricate content creation workflows. For those seeking a ready-to-use gaming system that combines substantial power with a polished design, this model is the preeminent choice in its category.

The pc was excellent for about a month and then the motherboard died on me. Not entirely sure what happen as it was not tampered with. Maybe got a faulty pc.

The HP Omen 16L packs in everything you need to start gaming immediately...well maybe after set up, Windows updates, and installing your favorite games. Typical stuff if you do PC gaming. The RTX 5060 ti has enough RAM to handle high res texture and do some AI generating if that's your thing. Paired with the Core Ultra 7 it chewed through Diablo 4 like it was nothing, but D4 is a pretty optimized game and can run fine on plenty lower speced systems. I'm kinda stuck on this game for now until I get my motion sickness back to where it used to be after playing ARPG's for over 2yrs. 16GB of RAM is the minimum but you have one slot open to pop another in if you need more memory. I've seen D4 take up 16GB itself, so I'd suggest getting another stick just in case. What puzzles me is the PSU spec - it's only 500w. Nvidia recommends a minimum of 600w for a system running a 5060 TI. This could limit upgrade options dramatically so pay attention to your power draw if you swap components. With the small formfactor there really isn't room for too much upgrading, but if you do decide to upgrade the processor or GPU make sure you replace the PSU first. I didn't check the pins to see if they're standard as I know some MFG's will swap pins and can cause major damage to your system if you don't check. Still, with the lack of upgrade options the 16L is a nice little powerhouse as is. It should handle most games for the next few years without any problems.

This is the first HP computer i have tried in a while now and its very good for the price but with one thing that brings it down especially in 2025. It isn't a deal brraker considering it is DDR5 but it is something I don't want to see these days for a machine that is performance focused and over $1,000. Computer also has a limited upgrade path but its fine if you know that coming into the buying this. Specs: Intel Core Ultra 265F 16GB DDR5 RAM at 5600 mhz 1stick 1TB SSD Nividia 5060 Ti 16GB (VRAM) inside the box you get a basic mouse and keyboard. Nothing special but its nice to have if you doon't have one already and need it to star using your computer right away. The reason why I hgave this grrat computer four stars is because it only includes one stick of DDR5 Memory. it should really include 2 sticks of 8GB for dual channel. would of given it three TBH but it is high quality memory not some random green OEM stick a lot of companies will use. as far as performance goes because it's DDR5 you don't totally suffer with single channel like you would with DDR4 and older. I do have this computer set up to my 4K TV and for older games i don't notice an issue with thee 5060 Ti but this isn't a 4K card. I do have to set the resoultuion down to 1080P if i want high frame rates in games that is more modern like Call of Duty Black Ops 6. I don't have any complaints if you know what youre getting into with this computer.
