Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bigger isn’t always better, sometimes good things come in small packages, and the HP OmniDesk Slim Desktop is a great example. Its slim design leaves more room on your desk, making it an appealing fit for a home office, a homework station, or a smaller workspace where every inch matters. Features and Usage: Now that we’ve covered the space-saving design, let’s see what the OmniDesk is packing on the inside. With an AMD Ryzen 7 7445HS processor, 8GB of DDR5 memory, and a 512GB SSD, it offers a nice setup for everyday use. Whether you’re working on documents, checking email, browsing the web, or settling in for some entertainment, it’s a practical desktop for a little bit of everything. The 512GB SSD provides space for your programs, documents, photos, and other everyday files, while the processor and memory have handled our family’s daily tasks well so far. I’ve been using it for about a week for office work, my kids have used it for school projects and some gaming, and my wife has put it to use for online shopping. So far, it’s fit right into our routine as a shared family computer. Don’t let the slim design fool you—the OmniDesk has some useful features, including dual-display support. Having two screens makes it easier to keep your work organized and saves you from constantly switching between windows. It’s a nice option for keeping a document on one screen and research, email, or a spreadsheet on the other. You also get the flexibility of both wireless and wired network connectivity. The Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 wireless card provides wireless networking and connections for compatible accessories, while the RJ-45 Ethernet port gives you a wired option. Having both choices makes it easier to set up the desktop wherever it works best for you. Ports Galore: For a slim desktop, the connection options are a definite highlight. You get: • 1 headphone/microphone combo port • 5 USB Type-A ports with a 5Gbps • 1 USB Type-C port with a 10Gbps • 2 USB 2.0 Type-A ports • 1 HDMI 2.1 port • 2 DisplayPort 1.4a ports • 1 RJ-45 Ethernet port • 1 3.5mm audio jack (line-out) That’s a useful selection for connecting monitors, a printer, external storage, headphones, and other everyday accessories. Having both USB-A and USB-C is a welcome touch, and the separate audio connections give you options for headphones, a microphone, or speakers. Overall: The HP OmniDesk Slim Desktop has a lot to offer in a compact package. It doesn’t take up much desk space, and it’s handled our mix of office work, school projects, online shopping, entertainment, and some gaming well during our first week with it. For our family, it’s been a practical everyday computer that fits both our workspace and our routine. If you are in the market for an everyday computer, then this is it.

This desktop is a true plug‑and‑play machine that delivers smooth everyday performance once fully set up. It doesn’t include a monitor, but it does come with a wired keyboard and mouse, which you can upgrade to wireless later. Initial setup takes some time due to multiple Windows updates, but afterward the system runs well and offers built‑in WiFi for quick internet access. This particular model comes with AMD Ryzen 7, 8GB DDR5 memory and 512GB of storage. A few apps like the Getting Started guide and Phone Link, did crash during my initial usage, though they worked normally after reopening. The desktop is responsive, customizable, and ideal for browsing, email, video streaming, school or work. Note that it has no built‑in speakers, so you’ll need external speakers or headphones. With seven USB‑A ports, one USB‑C, HDMI, and two DisplayPorts, it’s well‑equipped for peripherals and multiple monitors. Overall, it’s a solid home computer for everyday use. Very capable and with the slim form factor it can be placed in small tight areas. It is easy to set up and use, it just does not come with a monitor.

I like the unit so far. Seems to be working as it should. Geek Squad transferred data from old computer. I had a difficult time finding it. At first only found about 30 files. then found, with file explorer, the rest of the saved files. I had backed them up on a portable hard drive, but DID NOT want to go to the hassle of transferring that way. I am not a fan of the keyboard included with the unit. Previous pc had a wireless mouse and keyboard which worked well. This unit seems smaller and I keep hitting the caps key. May try the wireless from old unit if I do not get used to this one.

This is a secondary PC, at best. The specs give off productivity and lackluster functionality, at the same time. This build is for an office space that needs to give access to a temp. The memory is minimal, RAM is in a "I guess we're happy to have any" state of existence. The keyboard and mouse that comes packed inside the box, is better off left in the warehouse, from which it was pulled from. I say that because of what Hewlett Packard is asking you to fork over for the price of entry. I feel like you'd be better off getting a better spec'd laptop or just a full desktop PC. If you're still here. you'll be happy to know that it comes with a plethora USB A ports. a couple display ports and an HDMI port( and get this. No HDMI cable, in the box). That is worse than not getting a charging brick or even a charging cable. So, with that being said. This is not to be your only PC, and definitely not your first one. The AMD Ryzen 7000 series is all, but wasted in this unit. The only true saving grace, is the fact that you can build something around it. Changing the Keyboard and Mouse for something that you actually want to to type with. You could accomplish mild editing with OmniDesk Slim, but don't expect to get very far with the low-end specs. Again, for the cost of what they want, vs what you get, there should be a monitor in the box. I scored it what I did, because at the end of the day, you can still use it.

Very easy to use and the updated features has improved my usage capabilities. Very pleased with function.

This thing is perfect for my father who isn't computer savvy. Fast, easy to set up and compact compared to his 15 year old tower.

good value, fast, lots of features, up- dates quickly,

SO FAR THERE AREN'T ANY GLARING PROBLEMS. THE SITUATION THAT HAS CAUSED ME SOME PAUSE IS THE SLOW TIME IN WHICH I HAVE TO WAIT AT THE COUNTER TO BE WAITED ON, EVEN WHEN I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT.

I like everything about it, once I got use to finding everything. Love it

I would recommend this computer for personal and business use. We use this for my office at the moment

upon setting up every time plugged in new keyboard monitor went in and out lucky for me, I kept old keyboard and it works. Learning Windows 11 as old unit was Windows 10.

I having trouble with some things. Like the Blazer, it keeps popping with warnings. I have McAfee and it is current.

The HP OmniDesk Slim is a good choice for someone needing more ports than a mini PC but not wanting to go up to a full size desktop. #Unboxing and first impressions# HP deserves to be commended for using so much reasily recyclable packaging. The packing materials were almost all cardboard, and there were paper based protective covers on some of the cables instead of plastic. There was a plastic bag around the OmniDesk itself, though. Still, I love to see well thought out cardboard packing instead of foam and plastic. Otherwise there isn't much to say about this unit. The keyboard and mouse are the standard lowest-price wired fare you get with computers like this. #Using the OmniDesk slim# There isn't much to write home about for this PC - it performs nearly identically to a mini PC that I have which shares the same CPU, actually. Given the relatively simple cooling system, that's not surprising. The Omnidesk has a shroud around the CPU coolor which essentially cuts the overall volume of the case in two - the CPU fan pulls cool air from outside the case, pushes it down across the heatsink (and M.2 SSD) and then out to the rest of the case. Since the overall volume of the case is much larger than a mini PC, it probably is more thermally efficient for burst workloads than a mini, but since it only has one fan it's not going to perform that much better over a long enough job. Since the likely target audience fo this PC will not be running the Ryzen 7445 CPU at full tilt for hours on end, the cooling meets the needs. You get a ton of USB ports with this machine - 7 USB-A (several of which are 5gbps ports) and a USB-C port for 10gbps USB. The Omnidesk ships with 8GB of RAM installed (as a DDR5 SODIMM) and there is a free slot to expand easily. Since it's using SODIMMs (laptop memory) it's possible this will be a little cheaper given the state of the memory market. This model DOES NOT have any PCIe expansion slots or SATA ports internally. There is no expandability inside the case itself, just the many USB ports. #Final thoughts# Despite the high price relative to PCs just a year ago, the OmniDesk is a decent value compared to some other options. It's a good performer and simple for most folks to use. Since it uses SODIMMs, it's probably slightly cheaper to add memory if you choose to. Otherwise, this machine is unremarkable and 'just works' for most of what many households will need a PC for.

This is a space saving business grade desktop, and it does not pretend otherwise. That is not a bad thing provided you are looking for that sort of device. It has decent specs with a Ryzen 7 processor, WiFi 6, 512gb SSD, but only a painful 8GB of ram that gets eaten up quickly by memory hungry apps like Chrome which can cause noticeable lag at times. The WiFi card is not terribly impressive either, with poor performance compared to my laptop in the same space. It has plenty of ports and can utilize two monitors simultaneously as long as one is HDMI and the other is DP. The included mouse and keyboard are basic but decent particularly the keyboard which has a nice feel to the buttons and doesn’t come across too cheap. It includes a power cable, the aforementioned wired mouse and keyboard, and that’s about it. Setup is typical for Windows 11, requiring a Microsoft account login, updates, and removal of the preinstalled bloatware before it can really be utilized properly. Since then it has been smooth other than the memory and WiFi limitations but it does the intended job and that’s what I needed it for. I’d recommend it for business use, but for a personal computer you might want to look elsewhere for anything other than web browsing and productivity apps.

The HP OmniDesk looks stylish enough and the specs sound promising. But a deeper dive into the system reveals some interesting compromises that were made that make this hard to recommend. + + + Pros + + + • Supports Up to 3 Displays: With 2x DisplayPort and 1x HDMI, it easily handles dual- or triple-screen setups right out of the box. • Straightforward Upgrading: While not completely tool-less, getting inside the chassis is simple. The 512GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD swaps out with a single screw, and the RAM slots are immediately accessible without removing brackets or cages. • Efficiency: The Ryzen 7 was a solid, smart pick here, due to its low power draw and minimal heat in this compact case. - - - Cons - - - • Crippling 1x8GB RAM Setup: Windows 11 idles at 4–5GB alone, leaving almost nothing for multitasking. Worse, using a single 8GB stick cuts memory bandwidth in half, severely throttling the integrated Radeon graphics. An immediate RAM upgrade is practically mandatory for smooth everyday performance. • Dated Wireless & Peripherals: Shipping with basic Wi-Fi 6 (skipping 6E) and cheap wired peripherals feels out of place for such a sleek-looking, modern desktop. • Limited USB-C: There is only a single USB-C port on the front, and none on the back. As modern external SSDs and newer peripherals shift to Type-C, you will likely need an external hub, defeating the purpose of a space-saving design like this. • Proprietary & Constrained Internals: Uses a low-wattage proprietary power supply and only accommodates low-profile (half-height) PCIe expansion cards, severely limiting long-term upgrade options. • Heavy DisplayPort Bias: Having two DisplayPorts and only one HDMI is frustrating. HDMI seems like the more dominant inclusion for monitors, meaning dual-screen users will have to buy directional DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter cables. • No USB-C Video Support: The front USB-C port is data-only (no DP Alt Mode). It cannot run portable monitors or single-cable display setups; getting video from it requires a clunky DisplayLink adapter that uses software compression and hogs CPU cycles. * * * Good to Know * * * • Uses standard full-sized desktop DDR5 UDIMM slots (2 slots total) rather than laptop memory. It ships with a single 8GB stick installed, leaving one open slot for a quick, plug-and-play desktop RAM upgrade.
