Good computer but loud fan

Good computer, no complaints.
Only down side is the fan noise but I got used to it fairly quickly and the battery life - less than 2 hours while gaming.

Good performance for the price. By the same token, I would have expected that, for the price, the memory or storage would be UPGRADABLE, which is not. Soldered memory at this price is a turnoff, though many don't ever want to upgrade.

So far it has been a good laptop! I use it mostly for college and have not truly had the opportunity yet to use all the features that it came with. The graphics are very nice.

The PC is not as powerful as I would have liked it’s struggling to keep up with modern day games when it’s a new model, also wish bestbuy return policy was longer I have had it for a month wish I could have swapped this out for another laptop

Full of bloatware! From the moment I booted it up until I eventually deleted the OMEN bloatware, the system would hang and freeze up. Runs fine without the add-ons now, but someone without a minimal amount of computer knowledge would have to return it. Beyond annoying!
Battery life is abysmal!!! I can't do a conference call for 2 hours and it dies on me. Absolutely ridiculous for a new laptop. Turned down my video settings and it doesn't matter. If the plug in on an airplane isn't working, this laptop is nothing more than an overpriced brick.
Touch pad is very sensitive and accidentally activates when typing. Also, the spacing isn't very good for the right and left click buttons (they are hidden) on the pad. Not intuitive and often takes a couple of clicks to get it right.
The picture quality is outstanding. Everything else runs fine.
Overall, this laptop is at best "pedestrian." Based on the above problems, I would not purchase this again.

This is easily one of the best laptops I’ve owned, and it is the first one in a long time that makes me feel like I can stop shopping and just use it.
The balance this machine strikes is the real win. It is powerful enough to game for the titles I play and handle heavier tasks thanks to the dedicated RTX GPU, but it does not feel like a bulky gaming laptop. It is portable, premium, and the design is clean enough that it works just as well for work and school as it does for gaming.
The 3K OLED display is outstanding. It is sharp, smooth, and bright. Text looks crisp, videos look incredible, and games are extremely immersive. The 120Hz refresh rate feels like the perfect match for this laptop. It looks and feels modern without being overkill.
Performance has been excellent. Everything feels fast and responsive, and the laptop has handled everything I have thrown at it. Thermals and fan behavior have also been better than I expected for a thin 14 inch laptop with real gaming power.
What I appreciate most is that it fits perfectly into my HP OMEN setup and ecosystem. It feels like it belongs alongside my OMEN desktop instead of being a separate, unrelated device. Overall, it is a premium and capable laptop that finally feels like a keeper. I'm getting 8-10 hours with light use/tasks off charger.
There are other brands that make laptops with the same spec's cheaper, but I'm perfectly content with HP's OMEN line.

DO NOT BUY. First time buying outside of Dell and it was a huge mistake.
Worst new com*uter. That's right my * button sto**ed working after only about a month of use.
This thing is loud constantly whirring and is not meant to be on all day.
I bought this as a way to get around my work machine frying and it's absolutely garbage.
