I bought this laptop black Friday weekend and got a wonderful deal on a normally $1100 laptop. I picked this laptop since I do like to play pc games on a somewhat regular basis. Thus far I have had no problems running Overwatch, LoL, and a few other pc games.
This laptop very easy to setup and almost instantly start playing games, browsing the internet, etc. Everything I've made this laptop run has run the programs with ease. No lag, no bad graphics, etc.
I picked this laptop over the Dell gaming laptop since personally in recent years, I've felt that Dell has lessened in the quality of their products. Thus far I've been very happy with my purchase.

Runs games very well. The SSD is great for running games and the 1TB hard drive is great for everything else. Definitely recommend.

If you are a serious gamer - get a desktop. That being said, if you casually play games, surf the net, use the laptop for work/school, you will really be happy with your purchase. It has both built in AC Wi-Fi and an ethernet port (many laptops do not), so you can work at home, in the office or on the go.
It is light weight, the SSD makes it blazing fast. The battery life suffers due to the graphics card (if you disable it, you can get a lot of life out of the battery).

When I was doing several searches and looking over just what I needed in a laptop VS what I wanted, I never thought I would have found myself purchasing an HP Omen. This laptop came in at an awesome price for the specs and so far I have yet to be disappointed. It supports what I need it to do. It is my work laptop when I'm not in state. It is my gaming laptop when I am sick. It is my music workstation when I am practicing my piano and keyboard. It is lightweight for me and versatile and not bulky feeling at all. The finish and decoration on it also help set it apart from my other considerations since it comes with some pretty snazzy (I think so) style to it.
What I like:
+ Price for me was perfect (Around $950 after all was said and done)
+ Good graphics card
+ Strong/Fast OS drive
+ Large storage drive
+ No nonsense out of the box package had me going immediately
+ Makes wife jealous
+ Support for newer and older hardware interfaces
+ Backlit keyboard for night time workings
Things I didn't necessarily like:
- HP means you get ONE recovery disk you can make, after that you have to buy it from them.
- Makes wife jealous
Overall:
I felt this was a very good laptop, especially for the price I got it for. I can play my games, do my work and have music fun. May have to buy the wife one for her birthday so I don't have to keep such a close eye on mine! Ideally I would like to put another 8G of ram into it, but with the 8G it comes with, it's MORE than capable of handling everything I throw at it. I really can't think of many negative things to say about it given the scope with which I use it, but I am very happy with it.

Really fast laptop, I will probably upgrade the RAM but otherwise I’m really happy with all the other specs. Really glad I went with the 1050 Ti rather than just the 1050, the extra video ram makes a big difference. Also glad I got a model with a solid state drive. This laptop plays pretty much any game out there, I even tested it on the 2017 Doom and Arkham Knight and it runs both those games with pretty high settings at 40-60 fps. Good size, too. Not too bulky. One complaint is the battery doesn’t last terribly long - this is more of a portable gaming PC rather than a notebook as far as you’ll probably have to plug it in wherever you are. If you are okay with that then I recommend it. Also it doesn’t come with much bloatware either, which is refreshing.

I have a 2011 Macbook that was slowly dying on me and I needed a new laptop ASAP for work emails and multiple things that I could not do on a Macbook. I also wanted one that had a good graphics card, and went with the upgraded version with the extra ssd. So far I really love how sleek it is, how the screen is so much bigger than my Macbook and how user friendly and easy it was to set it up.
I don't play any hardcore games that require all that extra strength and power to process a thousand frames per second, the type of games that I play are like Maplestory or FFXIV where this laptop performance is enough for me. I like that I can play my games in 4k with no lag whatsoever, and I like that it has enough power for me to use for work applications and emails as well as gaming things.
I will say however that I wish the keyboard was not so shallow, and that the battery power is mediocre at best.
Other than that, I think it is absolutely fantastic for the price.

i am usually a MAC user. but lately disappointed with the new MacBook pros not being upgradable. So i bought this system and was very impressed with the dedicated 4 gig graphic card as well as memory and both hard drives are upgradable. The only issue i have with this system, is i wish HP used a better LCD screen. i would rate the screen a B- due to the lack of brightness control. Make sure you spend some time setting up this system. there are several updates from HP. intel, Nvdia and Windows of course.

I actually bought this product for my fiance because he needed a laptop (he used to have Google Chrome, yuck) and he LOVES to game. There were of course less expensive and more expensive and I decided to go in the middle and hopefully he loves his Christmas present!

The overall quality of the OMEN laptop is pretty good. Display brightness and view angle are also good. Weight of laptop is acceptable. Three USB 3.0 ports and one C type port are provided. In addition, it is easy to upgrade memory and storage by opening a bottom cover. It has two RAM slots, one NVME PCIe SSD slot, and one HDD slot.
The configuration of this model is 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD with 1TB HDD. But it is not enough for the gaming laptop. So, upgrade might be need for better gaming. Also, touch screen option is not available for the current OMEN laptop (previous versions provided.) and edge stile display design would be applied to follow current laptop design trend like Dell's XPS.
The overall score is 9/10 for my review.

This laptop provided me the utmost joy with being able to play my games effortlessly on mostly high settings. These games include Overwatch, Diablo III, and Guild Wars 2. Would definitely recommend this to gamers who are on a budget and want to game on the go!

Title says it all. This laptop is a great place to start. After purchasing it, go ahead and order an 8GB stick of PC2400 DDR4 and a larger SSD (I recommend a SATA-III M.2, since getting the contents of your NVMe SSD over to it will be infinitely easier), and you'll have a pretty nice laptop that will keep you gaming for the next couple of years.
Giving this 4 stars instead of 5 because about half the time it locks up when exiting a game and has to be hard-rebooted. I can be in-game for hours with no issues, but as soon as I leave the game the machine locks up.

Shopped around for 2 weeks mostly thru the internet. Did my research than I came across the HP gaming laptop. Best Buy made it easy for me to make up my mind with an outstanding price. I would buy this product again in a heart beat..
