Customer Ratings & Reviews

My last gaming/work laptop was a ROG Zephyrus G14 from 2022. I was considering the 2025 model for my new laptop but the RTX 5080 in it is limited to 120W. After researching many options, I decided on the HP OMEN. The price tag on these new laptops is a hard pill to swallow. But Best Buy in my area had a single HP Omen Open box. I decided to give it a go as it was $700 less than the retail price. The laptop is in pristine condition. setup was easy. I updated all the drivers and software from HP. They have a gaming app that lets you overclock and tweak the CPU and GPU. It lets you unlock the watts going to the GPU to 240. After i set it up and installed my steam library i tested a lot of my games. The laptop runs games like you would expect. My benchmarks 3D mark, Kombuster, PC mark all score a little above average for a laptop running a 5080 laptop GPU. One thing that i am really happy with is the new DLSS and Frame Generation up to 4X. The drivers are at a point now where the graphics look perfect even using frame gen. I am playing Dune Awakening at 2560x1600 with max settings, Lumen enabled, advanced shadow maps, DLSS, DLAA and 4X frame gen getting 180-210 FPS. It looks fantastic on the LED screen. I also used the laptop in the low power mode at a campground plugged in to a camping battery UPS. I changed the game settings too low to save power and the FPS was still over 120 FPS without using frame gen. This is bar none the best gaming laptop in its weight class.

Nice laptop. Powerful and performant. However, when not plugged in it lags. Even browsing the file explorer is slow when not plugged in. If you want power this is for you. If you want usability when only on battery this is not for you.

Honestly, I was skeptical about buying this laptop, but after using it for a couple weeks, I’m happy I purchased it. The keyboard feels nice, and the temps are surprisingly low for how long I use the laptop. The FPS is great for a laptop as well. I have it plugged into a monitor and keyboard, and it’s doing wonders. It’s also convenient to be able to unplug and be on the go, which is why I purchased this laptop.

The Laptop is good with the best configs. Display is great as expected. Battery is not that long lasting. Other than its a 5 Star Purchase. I will recommend.

This laptop is amazing, bought as a Christmas gift for my daughter. Shes real big into gaming and this computer meets all her gaming needs. Definitely worth the money. Only issue is battery life but its better than others.

I do not use this laptop for gaming so refer to the other reviews if thats what you are here for. I use this laptop to edit large file 4k videos. The editing program runs very smooth minor glitches however not a big deal could be the actual editing program and not the computer. This computer will render a long 4k video very fast after editing. Runs photoshop very fast and smooth for editing large file photos. So far its a great laptop for editing 4k videos and content creation. The OLED screen looks amazing as well.

really wanted to love this computer—its design and keyboard were outstanding, and nearly everything seemed perfect. However, after getting the laptop, I quickly ran into a major issue with battery life. Playing any video game required keeping it plugged in at all times, I noticed that when it was charging, it could push 4K resolution at 240+ FPS in most games. But the moment I unplugged it—what I like to call my "mobile desktop"—the performance dropped drastically to 20 FPS, with frequent freezing even at 1080p. After extensive research, I discovered that this was a common issue. The battery simply couldn't provide the minimum wattage the laptop needed, making wall power the only viable option for gaming. Additionally, while using the laptop, I often experienced glitches when trying to open multiple applications. It felt like the components weren’t working cohesively, leading to a sluggish and disjointed experience overall. Ultimately, after dealing with these frustrations, I returned the laptop and opted for the Omen 14 4070 i9 instead. This model proved to be much smoother, capable of gaming on the go, and delivered incredible battery life. Its compact form factor, excellent build quality, and responsive keyboard made it the perfect upgrade for my needs.

I purchased this open box laptop alongside an open box Legion Pro 7i with similar specs and prices for comparison. Looks/design The HP is more professional and sleek. Even with the RGB off, the Legion very much looks like a gaming rig. Both are constructed similarly, but I felt the HP was slightly more premium. Back ports are great for cable management. Width is smaller than the Legion which helps for smaller bags. Hp has a slightly worse track pad and speakers. The illuminated keyboard is awesome, although the tightly packed keys took a few days to get used to. Performance/Cooling The downside to the HP is that the CPU power is capped compared with the Legion. In all 3DMark stock performance tests, the HP CPU score lagged behind 6%, leading to a 3-5% lower score overall. In CP77 with similar settings, I saw a 6% higher average frame rate along with slightly better 1% lows. The upside is that while both units routinely spike to 105 degrees during gameplay, the HP does sustain slightly lower temperatures despite having smaller vents. Battery life is pretty poor on both which is to be expected. Software The HP came with more bloat overall. Aside from that, The Omen Gaming Hub is a slight upgrade over Legion Hub. Overall, I'd take the Legion at similar prices. If the HP wasn't performance capped, it'd be an easy pick for me.

Battery life. This is my first gaming laptop and first oled screen I absolutely love both. The gaming has been amazing but i switched from macbook m1 (which was my first laptop in general) so I was use to charging every other day. Now i have to charge every 1-2 hours which sucks but overall having this still feels like an upgrade. Went all in and bought a oled monitor as well so i cant wait until its all setup

Great laptop, very heavy but definitely a beast! Keys feel great to type on, screen is SO smooth, ran all new AAA games on ultra with 60+ fps. WOuld highly recommend. Fans are SO loud, especially compared to my girlfriends Legion i5 with a 5070 Ti, which is much quieter and gets great performance as well.

OLED screen is wonderful to look at. 5080 ran games at high and HP’s new thermal setup makes the laptop cool to the touch. A little keyboard flex and I don’t know if the trackpad is suppose to be clickable everywhere, but my unit does. No coil whine at high temps. Power adaptor is quite portable. HP did a geat job here.

Works great game setting to ultra no problems, screen is awesome

This thing runs CAD and printer software with ease along with the few games that we have. The download speeds are great and the picture is phenomenal. On its own the battery doesn’t last real long but it has a lot to run.

Great gaming laptop; Gaming Hub software is the best I've seen on a laptop; only complaint no adjustment to keep battery at 80% to improve battery life that I could find. Used everyday for email, podcasts, and gaming. Fans can occasionally be noisy, but don't bother me much.

Most people buying a 5080 in a laptop know what they are getting as far as capability os concerned. What I enjoy most about this setup is how well the system is able to control heat dissipation. Easily the best I have ever used. Most gaming laptops under heavy load can reach temperatures that cause concern and even allow the keyboard to be hot to the touch. Not this one. Yes, the fans can get loud but that should be expected. What I really appreciate is that it stays cool to the touch while running at max settings which allows the system to run smoothly and efficiently without the thermal throttle at the cost of performance. Sweet system.

I really enjoy my omen. It has been treating me great so far. Super fast and perfect for what I needed

I love this computer. I have not put much on it yet, but it is awesome. My kids keep trying to take it even though they have their own laptops. The lights are soo much fun and you can kind of custamized how you want it to be.

Expectations were exceeded with this HP Omen laptop. I've yet to find another with a better screen. The graphics card is great. It was also competitively priced. Overall very happy with the performance. I would recommend this laptop.

This is much better than last years 14 inch transcend model. This is absolutely a beast machine and a must have! The graphics is amazing and its very smooth. When loading heavy graphic based games this laptop runs it like nothing. Especially the beautiful 240hz OLED screen its just stunning! If you have the budget I would definitely get this laptop, you wont be disappointed!

Amazing screen and performance but compared to other competitors like the zephyrus g16 is not as portable
