Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great so far. Glad I bought it for the price it was.

This computer is fantastic. It's exactly what we needed to run FiveM with zero issues. It's so quiet, too.

It was easy to buy and set up, fun to play, I’m happy with the quality of my games now and I’m able to run all the games I’ve ever wanted to play.

This PC is an excellent performance per dollar, I absolutely love this PC and it is able to run every modern game I throw at it and maintain around 144fps in all my games

So far works great! Got it to work pretty much out of the box

Excellent computer to build on, for the games I play, FS25 and ATS.

Its an ok pc definitely gets the job wish there wasa water cooler and a glass on the side and maybe more ram but otherwise its very effective on gaming and among other things

Pros: Computer has a great design. Small form factor saves space. LED lights and see through panel are a nice touch. Computer itself works. 4 HDMI ports, multiple USB, w/ labels on speed are great touches. Worked well so far for gaming, graphic production, media, etc. Cons: Spent a bit of time removing software that came preinstalled - especially the HP base software. Omen Gaming Hub just ate up the memory usage and often froze. Reminders to install McAfee, HP Omen etc were annoying. Mouse and keyboard quality is what you'd expect for a freebie.

The OMEN 16L is one of the best purchases I’ve made for my home setup. It is powerful enough, clean-looking, and it just works. If you want a desktop that feels like a complete package without building one yourself, this is an easy recommendation. Performance is excellent for the price. It runs everything smoothly and handles multitasking without hesitation. Gaming is great, productivity is great, and it is also perfect for school and work loads like research, writing, data analytics projects, and running multiple apps at once. The design is another big plus. The OMEN panda style looks sharp and modern, and it fits perfectly in a desk setup without looking excessive. It is compact enough to be manageable, but it still has good airflow and does not feel cramped. Upgradability is where it can improve. You'll really only be able to add RAM and additional SSD storage. I did both of these and it was a big deal for me, and the process was straightforward. After upgrading, it feels even more future-proof. The downside is the BIOS will lock you into 5600MT/s for RAM and you're capped at 32GB of RAM, but that's not something that is a deal breaker for me. Overall, this desktop feels like the anchor of my entire setup. It is stable, powerful, consistent, and it makes gaming and productivity enjoyable without constantly thinking about hardware limitations. It fit what I was looking for which was a smaller form factor desktop that could still play the games/titles I like to play without being super expensive.

The HP Omen 16L, as built with Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, 16GB DDR5 Memory, Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti w/16GB GDDR7, and a 1TB SSD, is a solid performer in a small, quiet package. It definitely punches well above its weight with solid midrange gaminig performance at a budget friendly price. As a bonus, the small (13"x12"x6"), quiet packaging makes it a good choice as a dual use general purpose desktop. This was originally supposed to replace an aging gaming system and is becoming my goto everyday computer as well. In the box (all recyclable), is the destop, a wired mouse and keyboard, and a power cable. Documentation is usual safety note and minimal "getting started" guide. Build quality is excellent, very solid feel and clean wiring inside (see pictures). Port and button placement are excellent, 4 USB ports in back, 4 USB and 2 USBc ports in front along with a power button. Very clean! The dual fan design keeps the computer cool with minimal noise. Setup is the usual Windows annoyances, figure an hour or two of setup and updates, installing Battle.net, Steam, games, etc. HP's choice to equip the Omen 16L with the Nvidia 5060 TI w/16GB video ram rather than 8GB was a brilliant choice. The specs originally listed 8GB VRAM, but the system as received is 16GB. From the reviews of the 5060TI cards, 16GB seems to be necessary for anything over 1080p. I've been seeing anywhere from 100 to 120 FPS at 1440p (2K monitor) in games, which pretty much hits the limitation of my monitor, no tearing or artifacts. The frame rates do drop a bit when I tried a 4K monitor, I think that 2K(1440p) is really the sweet spot with this card. Games that I use for video testing included Horizon Forbidden West, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, God of War, and Microsoft Flight Simulator. I did upgrade from the original 16GB single memory stick to 32GB dual memory sticks, since I plan on using this computer for video rendering as well. The Omen 16L comes with a 1TB pci4 m.2 ssd, but also has a second pci4 m.2 ssd connector if you want to add more storage. There is also the option to add a SATA drive. The power supply is a 500W supply which is sufficient for the computer as equipped. There are no pci expansion slots on the motherboard, but there are so many USB ports it's really not necessary. Networking is wired 2.5GB, and wireless, WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. There are two fans to provide flow through cooling in addition to the power supply fan and the cpu cooling fans. The fans, at least so far, have been whisper quiet. Access to the interior is through a removeable side panel that slides an inch or so to lock/unlock, then lifts out. There is a screw securing it (see the picture of the back) that could have been a nice, knurled knob instead. So far, the only disappointment has been the lack of any real BIOS settings to push performance. Hopefully that might be corrected in an update. Otherwise, the Omen 16L (as equipped) is a solid midrange gaming computer that is exceptionally thought out. Highly recommended.

This is a pretty sleek looking machine with the guts of a decent mid specced computer. Nothing about the internals is going to scream the best of the best but overall, it packs a good punch for gaming at 1440p with the help of DLSS. Setup is the standard windows setup. Just let it do it's thing as it updates and gets everything up and running. After about an hour or so doing setup and updates (depending on your internet), you should be updated and ready to go. The build quality of this machine is pretty nice. It's compact and has a nice minimalist look without sacrificing things like the side panel window. The built in HDMI port on the machine is blocked off which I always appreciate because a lot of newer computer users don't understand that they need to plug their monitor into the graphics card. There's plenty of RGB but it doesn't get obnoxious. There's an RGB fan that glows through the front panel on the bottom. There's also an RGB CPU cooler. The included memory stick also has a strip of RGB on top. These can all be customized to any color you like really easily. Ports are in pretty good supply here for such a small form factor case. Oddly enough, most of the USB is in the front. The GPU has the standard three DisplayPorts and one HDMI. There's four USB-A ports on the back as well as three 3.5mm plugs for speakers/headphones and microphones. There's also an 2.5Gb ethernet port on the back. Moving to the front, you have another 3.5mm headphone jack as well as another four USB-A ports. Then there are two USB-C ports on the front as well. I would have liked to see more of the USB (and especially SOME USB-C ports) on the back since I'm not a huge fan of running cables out of the front of my system. If you have a lot of USB peripherals that are mostly permanent fixtures for your system, finding a place to plug them in without making things look terrible might be a challenge. There's a keyboard and mouse in the box. That's about all that needs to be said about them. They exist. They aren't good. If you're really scraping by, you could use them for a little bit before buying sommething decent. I wouldn't recommend it, though. The included 1TB of disk space is pretty ok to get started but I'd recommend adding another 2-4 TB if you're going to be installing a lot of games. Luckily, there's an open M.2 slot on the motherboard so the upgrade is fairly painless. Speaking of upgrades, I'd also recommend adding another stick of memory. Single channel memory isn't a great pick here. I thing 32GB of system memory is the minimum for a gaming machine these days but if you're going to give us 16GB, at least make it two 8GB sticks. You'll probably need to remove the included 16GB if you plan to buy a 32GB kit anyways so making the 16GB more serviceable in the mean time would have been nice. The motherboard is also very proprietary so upgrading things beyond the disk space and memory is going to be pretty limited. Gaming performance isn't too bad for a machine in this price range (depending on if you find a good sale). The Intel Ultra 7 265F isn't a terrible gaming CPU and the RTX 5060 Ti at least has 16GB of memory so it can do some work at 1440p. Running my standard benchmark of Cyberpunk 2077, I was able to set it to Ray Tracing Ultra with DLSS auto and ray reconstruction on and got a respectable 50 fps at 3440x1440. Turning on 2x frame generation bumped that number up to 80 and everything looked smooth and pretty. I also played through the first chapter of Doom Dark Ages with the graphics set to Ultra quality (DLSS quality mode) and didn't see frames drop below 75. Usually hovered around 80-85. This wasn't even with frame generation enabled. So you should be able to get really good looking games out of this mid/lower end GPU without an issue. Pros: - Small, sleek, minimalist case design - RGB that isn't crazy - A lot of USB ports - 16GB of video memory - Decent CPU - Nice budget GPU - Easy to hit 60-90 fps with DLSS and frame generation - Quiet Cons: - Proprietary motherboard - Single channel memory - Most of the USB ports are on the front - Limited upgrade potential - Throw-away included keyboard and mouse Overall, this isn't a bad system if you're ok with some of it's concessions. Some of the first upgrades I'd add would be extra disk space and replace the 16GB of memory with a 32GB kit that's dual channel (unless you can find a matching 16GB stick to use). Performance is pretty good. Nothing to write home about but it should give you good performance at respectable frame rates for a couple years at least. I think you're paying a little extra for how compact this machine is which is usually how it goes but it really isn't a bad machine for this price range.

The HP Omen 16L is a sleek, minimalistic gaming desktop in white and black. They call it Panda Metal. The 16L refers to the interior volume of space in the case. It is smaller than I had expected, looks great, and can easily fit on a desk. There are four USB Type A ports on the front, two 10Gbps and two 5Gbps along with two USB Type C (1 10Gbps, 1 5Gbps). There are 4 USB ports in the back but unfortunately, they are all USB 2.0 speed. Worst of all, there are NO USB-C ports on the back. If you have USB peripherals that are either Type-C or need higher speed they’ll have to plug in to the front. In my case I had 3 USB-C devices so I needed a USB-C dock which sadly had to hang off the front of the case and then plug my devices into it. There are, however, plenty of ports for multiple monitors with three DisplayPorts and one HDMI coming straight out of the graphics card. For audio options there are speaker, lineout, and mic ports in the back and a headset jack on the front. Finally, there is an RJ-45 ethernet port that supports 2.5GbE. Being small doesn’t mean any sacrifices in RGB lighting. There are two lighting zones. The first is shared between the big fan on the front and the CPU fan, which can be changed to any color. The second is on the memory stick itself, which gives you a few more effects than the fan zone such as flame and my favorite: starlight. This is all handled with the Omen Gaming Hub app, which comes preinstalled. If RGB is your thing you can also use the Omen Lighting Studio which gives you full control over the tower plus any other devices connected that support Windows Dynamic Lighting. The Core i7 265F included is part of Intel’s latest Arrow Lake-S lineup. It’s an upper-midrange processor with 20 cores (out of which 8 are performance cores). The only thing better would be the Intel Ultra 9 but that is overkill for this PC. This CPU is both great for gaming and for productivity work. Geekbench 6 scores: Single Core – 2842; Multicore 14289 There’s 1 stick of 16GB speedy DDR-5600, plenty for gaming. The Samsung NVMe SSD is plenty fast to keep loading screens minimal but not the fastest Gen 4 SSD out there. It can be upgraded if need be. You can see my CrystalDiskMark scores in the included screenshot. As far as gaming itself is concerned I’ve been incredibly impressed with what the 5060 Ti can do. This RTX card features 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM compared to some cheaper 5060 Ti variants which only come with 8GB. When you factor in the ability to use NVIDIA’s DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation (MFG), I’m seeing performance that is definitely better than the last generation’s RTX 4060 and very close to the 4070. It’s also pretty evident that enabling ray tracing with the new Blackwell architecture is no longer as big of a performance hit as it was with the previous generation. In the past I would never play Fortnite with ray tracing as it would kill the performance but now it seems to only be a 10% penalty or so in that particular game. These are some benchmarks I took on a 1440p monitor with Performance Mode enabled: 3DMark Time Spy: 15695 Cyberpunk 2077 (In-game benchmark, Ultra, Ray Tracing): - DLSS: 177.58 FPS - No DLSS: 102.64 FPS Shadow of the Tomb Raider (in-game benchmark, Highest preset): - DLSS Performance: 165 FPS - Highest Preset No DLSS: 138 FPS Fortnite: - Epic Preset, Ray Tracing, DLSS Performance: 89 Avg FPS - Epic Preset, Ray Tracing, No DLSS: 59 Avg FPS F1 25 (in-game benchmark 1-lap on Australia Wet.) - Ultra Max Preset with DLSS-G 4X: 144 FPS - Ultra Max Preset no DLSS: 81 FPS Borderlands 3 Ultra (in-game benchmark): 101.27 FPS Forza Horizon 5 (in-game benchmark): Extreme Preset 116 FPS These are good numbers in my opinion, and they were near the highest graphical settings for these games. That said, the 5060 TI is still a mid-range card so don’t expect to hit 240hz if that’s what your monitor can do. And if you’re planning on playing in 4K you may need to temper expectations or play on lower graphics settings. Here are some of the same benchmarks at the same graphics configuration but now at 4K resolution: Cyberpunk 2077 (Ultra, RT) - DLSS: 116.10 FPS - No DLSS: 51.87 FPS Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Highest Preset): - DLSS Performance: 130 FPS - No DLSS: 69 FPS F1 25 (same lap on Australia Wet.) - Ultra Max Preset with DLSS-G 4X: 75 FPS - Ultra Max Preset no DLSS: 24 FPS Borderlands 3: 53.76 FPS Forza Horizon 5 (in-game benchmark): Extreme Preset 105 FPS At the end of the day most people will just let the game pick the best graphical settings for them and they will get a good experience even in 4K. Upgradability is decent as you can swap out or add more DDR5 RAM, and there is an extra NVMe slot if you want to add more storage. Even the Wifi 6 card can be upgraded to Wifi 7 if need be. There are no available PCIe slots to add any expansion card, just the single one for the graphics card, but most gamers don’t use those anymore. The graphics card could be upgraded if it can fit in the chassis. There’s about 250mm of space available for length. However, the biggest limiting factor in upgrading the graphics card would be the power supply which is only rated for 500 watts. Pros: -RTX 5060 Ti 16GB allows playing at high settings - Excellent FPS at 1080p/1440p - Benefits from DLSS 4 and MFG - Powerful Intel 7 Series CPU - Compact Size - Quiet – even when gaming. - Multiple DisplayPorts - 2.5GbE Ethernet Port - Includes basic wired keyboard/mouse. Cons: - No USB-C or Fast USB-A ports in back - Limited upgradability Overall: Compact, quiet, and just a great gaming PC. I didn’t find a single game that was not playable. My son is very happy with his new gaming rig!

Completely new to the PC world and have been an avid console guy for years. A few friends were playing a PC only game so wanted to be part of the action. I didn't want a low end, and didn't want a high end unit, just something to play on that was easy to use and reliable. This unit has blown me away. I'm only playing Call of Duty, Arena breakout (PC game), and Battlefield 6 but coming from an Xbox series X this thing is insane. So fast, with much a much more picture. My K/D has gone up incredibly and really just enjoying the gameplay. I see super detailed reviews focusing on the specs so wanted to put a positive review for people switch from console.

Got this back during the holidays and no issues so far. Mid-sized PC with a simple design and tons of power and ports. Airflow is great and everything runs really fast, cool, and quiet, even during gaming. One nitpick is that for some reason, the back doesn't have rubber feet (the front does), which makes the PC move around a lot whenever you try to unplug stuff from the back. And I can confirm that the RTX 5060 Ti is indeed the one with 16GB GDDR7, even if the manufacturer pictures say otherwise. Also there's another ram slot to upgrade up to 32GB. Great deal when it went under $1000, though only do open box if you're willing to risk tinkering around. Even with excellent condition, the AC cord was missing and the previous user was still there with a locked account.

I have hp’s last generation omen 35L with a 4060ti and I was looking to upgrade my 8 year old son to PC and I wanted something small enough for his gaming area as he already has a ps5 set up with PsVR as well. This fits our needs with how small this gaming pc case is. He is happy with it and so am I for the most part(read on). The specs are actually great for a new-ish gamer, younger person or older person who doesn’t want a huge case with too much RGB and needs to run 4k. You get plenty with this pc, intel ultra 7 CPU which is a good pairing for the 5060ti and ddr5 ram as well. You get a solid balance of cost to performance for an upper entry level gaming Pc. I’d say if you play less demanding games you can definitely run a 1440p monitor at max settings. But you are probably going to get the highest frame rates at 1080p though I don’t really recommend that resolution. I tested for him warzone@1440p high settings(not max) and was averaging around 100 fps which is solid tho it isn’t maxed out. Games like Fortnite run better at 1440p at higher setting closer to 120+. If you play campaign games you will get solid fps as well at medium to high settings. This isn’t a powerhouse pc so keep that in mind I’d recommend a 5070 or higher for demanding titles. You have a lot of usb ports too many imo even lol. 2 usb type c which I appreciate. The pc has enough of the Fast gen 4 storage with an additional slot near the front of the case. 16gb ram is great to have but HP opted to use a single ram stick instead of 2 8GB sticks. Tho I believe dual channel ram is not required so much now with DDR5. Ram is adata a reputable brand I use in my hand built PCs. Mother board is unfortunately proprietary and not standard which is understandable as this is essentially just a standard tower case dressed up to look way better. Power supply is small form factor as well and is HP branded rated at 500 watts but is 80 plus platinum(great to see). A single 120mm RGB fan sucks in air up front and I believe an 80mm basic black fan for the exhaust. Basic omen tower cooler seems to keep the cpu cool enough and the case does not get crazy hot. Overall, this is a good little pc for its intended audience albeit at a premium price. But that is the market we live in nowadays. Things I didn’t really like is you have no real upgrade path at all with this pc, the motherboard is proprietary and lastly HP doesn’t include even a basic membrane RGB keyboard or mouse just the basic white keyboard and mouse. I think that would add to the value for the intended audience. So again, this omen 16L has some decent power and if you are looking to get into gaming or your child is interested and this fits the price I recommend starting off with this build as it will serve you well for a good while.

I use this PC for creating and editing my artworks and managing my online store, and it has worked perfectly for both. No lagging, no long wait periods. I have been able to be very creative and efficient during my work with this product. At night I also game on the PC and like before it has been great. All games, new and old, that I have played and tested in this PC have run buttery smooth with no frame drops. And even though I am playing at 1080p, I am using most game settings on High and Very Detailed. I mean, compared to PCs I have had before, I have been surprised that this one barely even gets warm. It really has good air flow. My particular model, The Omen the 16L came with only 16 GB of DDR5 RAM, but the motherboard has the slot to buy another stick and upgrade to, say 32 GB. But at the time of writing, the prices are too expensive. Just keep that in mind if you need more RAM for your work, such as video editing or animation rendering for example. In my case, the 16 GB DDR5 provided have been doing just fine. I also love the fact that even though the PC houses a full GPU, an RTX 5060 ti 16BG VRAM, in my case, the computer case fits in my desk with no problems. So, it is powerful, yet compact. Regarding the RGBs, it came with an elegant all white configuration, but since I don't like my PC to be glowing at my side, I was very pleased that the OMEN Gaming Hub program that came with it made turning off the RGB easy, and it actually remembers that you don't want them on when the PC restarts. It really saved me a lot of headaches trying to figure out the program like I have had to do with other proprietary RGB software in other PCs. All in all, I am very satisfied with this PC. The price to performance ratio made it the immediate choice when I saw it on the store, and I do not have any big complaint about it.

This PC is an great mid-range build. Not the best for gaming, however that's comparing to a PC that specializes and is built for gaming. This one is built as an all rounder. Great for gaming, working, streaming, video editing. Only problem that I think a lot of people has would be the price tag, I recommend an open box Excellent quality. If not you may as well build it yourself. But as of may 2026 ram price and GPU price are very high. So understand what you want and your budget.

The HP Omen - 16L gaming desktop offers a great combination of a small form factor while still delivering great gaming performance. For me personally when it comes to desktops I prefer what the HP Omen 16L looks like. On the outside minimal aesthetics that don't scream "look at me, I'm a gaming desktop" yet still has clean aesthetics that match my vibe/setup with a hint of style provided by the window showing off the inside. As for the actual specs of the HP Omen 16L it comes with an Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2 paired with 16 GB of RAM (extra slot for expansion). It also comes equipped with 1TB SSD of storage with an extra slot for expansion and for the graphics card there is a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. For 1/0 ports the HP Omen 16L provides you with a total of 10 ports which include two USB-A 3.0, two USB-A 3.1, one USB-C 3.0, one USB-C 3.1 and 4 USB-A 2.0 ports. I do wish there were some additional USB-C ports in the back. One ethernet port located in the back as well, three display ports and an HDMI port. Accessories included with the HP Omen 16L include matching white keyboard and mouse and a power cable. These accessories really go well with the setup aesthetically but let's be honest the majority of us will not being using these if we are gaming but it's nice that they are included. The HP Omen 16L delivers great 1440P gaming performance out the box, is extremely quiet and I believe is a great value for what it is priced. I can play a majority of my gaming library at high settings while still maintaining high frame rates and that is important to me. The only real nitpick I have about the HP Omen 16L is the single channel RAM, not that the included RAM is bad it's just that it's difficult to find another single stick of RAM to purchase to upgrade without having to buy a set.

This is my first PC, and so far I really enjoy it. Runs smoothly, the fans aren't very loud, it's not very heavy or bulky. No issues as of yet. The keyboard and mouse it comes with are fine, just wish they were wireless, but that's more of a personal preference.

very compact pc that runs quite well for its size, and looks sleek with my set up. nice ease of use, and many plugins for your various cable needs. it runs everything from high end games + programs to high quality video. highly recommend for the price.
