Customer Ratings & Reviews

Had to replace my Windows 10 machine at home. This one met my requirements for storage space and RAM. Nice looking case. The SSD makes the machine so quiet, I forget it's on some times. A lot of USB ports. Nice to have them marked with capacity. I would have liked an internal drive bay for an optical drive. After a week of use, the speed is good. Still loading new software but so far everything is working great.

Hello.. I have owned this tower now for approximately 3 wks. I like everything about it. The set up was easy and fast. I purchased a large hp monitor and some basic speakers off of amazon. I like it all. In the beginning I wasn't interested in this particular computer but in the end I am more then content with this new purchase. For me my needs are met , won't even use half of what it does. I should add that I have used hp products for many years now and I definitely like this computer best. This is interesting because I was genuinely going to pass on this system and ended up with a purchase. Glad I did ! Thank you.

Seems to work well for my office I really like the support team when you buy something from Best Buy. They don’t seem to have a problem about going above and beyond they give you great suggestions and when I bought the $79 maintenance agreement that really saved me and really felt like that. I got a good vibe from that. I’m planning on buying one every year.

HP - OmniDesk Desktop - AMD Ryzen 7 - 16GB DDR5 Memory - 1TB SSD - Gray Wood. Was time to get a new computer and was wanting one with an AMD processor, this HP has filled the bill perfectly. I do video editing and music recording through a DAW and it has performed flawlessly. The storage and RAM is good and doesn't appear to need any embellishment, it works fine out of the box. This is the best computer purchase I've made in a couple decades and I would highly recommend it.

Purchased due to windows 10 being phased out. This pc is being used in our church in the a/v room...runs all our presentation software flawlessly.

I am satisfied with my purchase. I am already noticing the speed from my last computer. The ease of set up and the multiple inputs, and the capacity to add storage are a huge plus for me.

works fine now but when first hooked up need many new pieces of equipment to operate properly. to powerful for my old monitor so needed that replaced as well as addin a speaker for the monitor thing taht ssales didi'nteven talk about for a less techinal senior .finnaly good to go

The processor is quite fast, low power, and runs cool. When adding 32 GB 5600 DDR5, 400W power, RX6600 graphics it can easily handle most new games and apps. I estimate the cost with budget shopping at $800, and very good results so far. Windows 11 had issues and needed to be reinstalled, and the fast boot was turned off to avoid blue and black screens. If you need support HP AI is there and works decent The case could use some additional venting on top. I am really enjoying this computer.

Had to replace my home PC and this one has everything I needed. Very easy set up. The store handled the data migration from my old PC perfectly. Very fast!

A good all-around upgrade from my 7-year old Dell desktop that was purchased back in 2018. I now do astrophotography, and the image processing software was asking a little too much from the older machine. No system is perfect, and I would give the OmniDesk 4.5 stars if that option were available. I also have the option of adding more memory and storage if necessary, so I should be set for a while. Not a big fan of the current Microsoft business model, but it is what it is, and I will probably switch the old machine to some version of Linux. Bottom line is that I would recommend the OnmiDesk to anyone looking for a capable platform for Win 11 with a bit of extra horsepower.

I got a chance to review the HP OmniDesk Desktop (Gray Wood Edition) as a family PC and light workstation, and it’s been a pleasant surprise in both style and substance. Right out of the box, this desktop doesn’t look like your typical PC tower – the front panel has a modern gray wood-inspired finish that really stands out. It’s a subtle gray woodgrain pattern on a trim that frames the front, giving the PC a bit of personality without being loud. I’ve got it sitting in my living room, and it actually complements the furniture – a nice change from plain black boxes. HP also mentions they use recycled metals and plastics in the build, which I appreciate as an eco-conscious touch. The build quality feels solid; the chassis is Jack Black (HP’s name for the black-colored case) with that gray wood front trim, and it’s both sleek and understated. For a pre-built machine at this price, the design and finish get a thumbs up from me. Several friends who saw it even remarked that it looks “classy” for a PC. It’s definitely a system you don’t mind having on top of the desk, where it’s visible. Performance-wise, the OmniDesk holds its own for a wide range of tasks. It’s powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 8000-series processor (8700G in my unit, 8 cores/16 threads), paired with 16GB of the latest DDR5 memory. In everyday use, this combo absolutely flies – heavy web browsing, Office apps, photo editing, and 4K video streaming all happen without a hiccup. I typically have dozens of Chrome tabs, Spotify streaming, and Photoshop running together, and I haven’t experienced slowdowns or high fan noise. In fact, the system is remarkably quiet; even under moderate load the fans are whisper-quiet, thanks to the efficient CPU design (AMD optimized these chips for cool and quiet operation). The 1TB SSD (a PCIe Gen4 NVMe) also contributes to the snappy feel – Windows 11 boots quickly and programs launch in a snap. For those curious about numbers: I ran a quick CrystalDisk test on the SSD and saw typical Gen4 speeds (~3.5 GB/s), so no complaints there. 16GB RAM is enough for multitasking right now, and since it’s DDR5 it offers great bandwidth. The only time I felt the strain was when I tried some heavier video rendering and had multiple VMs open – in those cases, more RAM would help. Fortunately, the OmniDesk is upgradeable: there are accessible DIMM slots (supports up to 32GB) and an extra M.2 slot for adding another SSD, which gives some peace of mind for future upgrades. Graphics capabilities depend on the configuration. My particular model came with integrated AMD Radeon graphics (Radeon 780M) on the Ryzen 7 chip. For an iGPU, it’s actually quite impressive – it handles everyday visuals and media flawlessly. I connected dual monitors (one via HDMI, one via DisplayPort) and had zero issues driving a 4K screen alongside a 1080p screen. Casual gaming is doable: I tested Rocket League and Minecraft at 1080p, and the Radeon 780M ran them smoothly at medium settings. It struggles with AAA games like Cyberpunk unless you drop to low settings and 720p, but that’s expected for integrated graphics. The nice thing is HP offers an option with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 if you need more GPU muscle (there’s even an open PCIe slot in mine where a GPU could be added later, though the PSU is 280W, so any upgrade needs to be modest). For my use – which is productivity, content consumption, and light gaming – the integrated Radeon is fine. It even accelerates some GPU tasks (I did a bit of Blender viewport work and simple 3D modeling for fun, and it was acceptable). One cool surprise: the machine supports up to four displays connected simultaneously (between the various video outputs and USB-C), which is great for a trading station or a multi-monitor office setup. Most people won’t use four monitors, but the fact it’s possible shows this PC isn’t kidding about being a productivity hub. The connectivity and ports on the OmniDesk are excellent and truly modern. On the front of the tower, I have two USB-C ports (one 5 Gbps and one 10 Gbps), along with a couple of high-speed USB-A ports – super convenient for quick plug-ins of USB drives or charging gadgets. There’s also a headphone/mic jack at the front for easy access. Around the back, HP loaded it with additional USB ports (including USB 2.0 for keyboard/mouse and older peripherals), an Ethernet LAN port for wired networking, and both HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 for video output. Wireless connectivity is up-to-date too: Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 are built in, so my internet and wireless peripherals have been fast and stable. I connected a Wi-Fi 6 router and got full throughput on downloads, and Bluetooth headphones pair without issue. Another neat feature – the keyboard that came with the PC has a special Microsoft Copilot key. At first I didn’t know what it was; pressing it brings up Windows 11’s AI Copilot sidebar. It’s actually useful for quick answers or summaries while working, kind of like having a little AI assistant at your beck and call. It’s not something I use constantly, but as an early adopter I find it cool that HP built this “AI key” into the experience, showing they designed this PC with Windows 11’s latest features in mind. Now, let’s talk about user experience and any drawbacks. Setting up the OmniDesk was painless – HP’s out-of-box experience was straightforward, and there wasn’t too much bloatware aside from the usual trial of McAfee and some HP utilities. The included wireless keyboard and mouse are decent (they match the PC and get the job done, though serious typists or gamers will likely upgrade these). The PC runs very quietly during web and office work; under heavy load you can hear a gentle whoosh, but it’s far from distracting. Thermals seem well-managed – the chassis has ventilation on the sides and back, and even after a long session, the top of the case only gets slightly warm. One limitation to be aware of is the power supply: the 280W PSU is efficient and fine for the included hardware, but it’s not intended for high-end GPU upgrades. So, if you plan to turn this into a gaming rig later, you might have to swap the PSU (which may be proprietary, as is common in OEM PCs). For most buyers in this category, that’s not a big deal. Another minor con is that while 16GB RAM is adequate now, heavier users might outgrow it; upgrading is possible but it would’ve been nice to have 32GB in a “Ryzen 7” config out of the box. Lastly, the beautiful front panel doesn’t have any external drive bays (no DVD drive, etc., which is normal these days) – not an issue for me, but worth noting if you’re old-school and still use optical media. On the plus side, that solid front contributes to the clean look and likely helps keep noise down, since there’s no open grille right in front. Overall, I’d rate the HP OmniDesk Desktop as a fantastic all-around PC for home or office use, especially for those who value a mix of performance and aesthetic design. It’s not a hardcore gaming monster, but it doesn’t pretend to be – instead, it excels at everyday productivity, content creation, and entertainment while looking stylish and running quiet. I’ve been using it as a work-from-home station by day (lots of multitasking, video calls, spreadsheets) and a media center by night (streaming movies, light gaming), and it hasn’t let me down. Below is a quick rundown of pros and cons from my experience: Pros: - Strong performance for multitasking and productivity – Ryzen 7 CPU and fast DDR5 RAM make the system very responsive. - Sleek, modern design with gray wood-look front panel (refreshingly different aesthetic) and a compact footprint. - Plenty of modern ports: dual front USB-C, multiple USB-A, HDMI + DisplayPort, etc., plus Wi-Fi 6 and BT 5.4 built in. - Runs cool and whisper-quiet even under load (great for office or bedroom use without fan noise distractions). - Easy setup and decent upgrade paths – RAM and SSD are accessible, and an optional GPU (like an RTX 3050) can be configured or added. Also comes with a matching wireless keyboard/mouse for convenience. Cons: - Not a gaming powerhouse in base form – the integrated Radeon graphics limit high-end gaming; consider the RTX 3050 model if gaming is a priority. - 16GB RAM is fine for now but might be limiting for heavy users; you may need to upgrade to 32GB for memory-intensive tasks. - Power supply (280W) isn’t geared for major upgrades; those wanting to add a high-tier GPU or many drives may find it insufficient without an upgrade. - A bit of pre-installed bloatware (e.g., antivirus trial), though it’s easily cleaned up. - No USB4/Thunderbolt and no optical drive (not expected at this price, but worth noting in case you need those features). Ideal For: This HP OmniDesk is perfect for students, professionals, or families who need a reliable PC with snappy performance for everyday tasks and a touch of style. It’s great as a home office workhorse, a family multimedia station, or a productivity machine for someone who might dabble in light gaming or creative work on the side. The small touches like the Copilot AI key and multiple monitor support make it feel future-proof and versatile. If you want a pre-built desktop that boots fast, handles multi-tasking with ease, and doesn’t look boring, the OmniDesk is a great choice. On the other hand, if you’re a hardcore gamer or want to do heavy 3D rendering, you’d either opt for the discrete GPU version or look at more specialized gaming rigs. For its intended audience, the OmniDesk offers a wonderful balance: plenty of power, modern features, and an attractive design that doesn’t need to be hidden under the desk. I’ve been thoroughly satisfied with it and can confidently recommend it for general-purpose computing needs.

Great job Best Buy! Everything was excellent. The sales rep helped me find just the right computer at a price I could afford and the Geek Squad moved all my data off my old computer onto the new one. Seameless with great customer service. Thank you!

Great desktop for our needs. We use it for simple bill paying and organization.

I have had this computer for about a month with no issues. Nice speed.

so far this computer is easy to use . i like this model for my home use. the design is perfect for my computer desk . thanks for the help in choosing this computer.

Replace my all in one desk top. The HP-omniDesk Desktop is such an improvement

Super fast and easy to use! Was an open box and you would think its brand new!

love it . is fast and windows 11 easier to to use than i thought it would be.

I was originally going to buy directly from H/P Website. But had to do a bank transfer in order to by the H/P Website Computer (it was a Ryzen 5) The bank transfer took 24 hours. Next day I checked the H/P Website and the price had increased over $200. I did a search using the "Omnidesk" as a search word and Best Buy was selling this Omnidesk which is a more powerful computer for only $40 more than the original price of the Ryzen 5 I had been originally looking at on H/P Website, this Omnidesk Ryzen 7 Now has been registered, Updated, has had Norton installed and my personal files from my Old Computer transferred to this Omnidesk. It's been operating very nicely.

This is a replacement for an 11yo desktop that could not support Windows11. It is working well, fits my needs and was value priced. The sales associate listened carefully to my requirements and stayed in my stated budget.
