For what it is, this is a 5-star laptop. You get amazing specs for the price, especially when you buy it on sale like I did. It's also easy to pop it open and shove in another 8 GB SODIMM to make it 16 GB memory. The few problems that I have had with it have stemmed from me doing things that the average user would not normally do, such as reinstalling Windows 10, upgrading it to pro, and then accidentally using an incorrect key. Don't be me. This laptop can run basically everything at 60 fps right now, although AAA titles may have to scale back on quality. The fans cool well, but keep in mind that this is a gaming laptop, so it's expected to make noise when under a heavy load.

Less than a month and this new craptop is doing exactly what my old one did, freezing and blue screen. I feel like a chump. I paid for the 'elite' geek squad service, but called them for a simple issue with my other craptop and the rep knew less about computers than me (and that's saying a lot) so I have no faith that I will get any help. At this point I'm so disappointed and disgusted I can't even think about how I might get this resolved.

although this laptop features high end specs, you are better off getting a g7 for more specs at same price

I recently lost my HP Envy in flood waters from Hurricane Harvey. It was a pretty decent computer, but I thought this HP Omen was going to be a little faster for me. I'm always surfing the web, using Adobe CC programs, and playing games. I have owned this computer for about 37 days, and used it about 15 days. When I first started using it, everything seemed to be okay. About 2-3 days in, I was playing a game and the computer froze and I had to restart. A few days later, it just turned off. No warnings, no freezing, just turned off. I didn't use the computer again for another week. A day or so into using it again, another crash. Yesterday, the computer turned off while I was using photoshop, and then again while I was just surfing the web - 6 times!! I even came to write a review and it crashed! I looked in to all HP Q&A, and all it seems to say is make sure the drivers are up-to-date. They are. Every single one - I checked manually. And since I'm 30 days out of my purchase with Best Buy, I can only assume I'm screwed. I'm not sure I'd even buy another HP after this. After a bad year of losing just about everything I own, the replacement to what I use the most (a computer) was crapped on. Thanks HP. Way to screw a Harvey victim....

I haven't had an HP laptop since 2012, when the larger 17" Pavilions were out. While I'm not digging the new gaming scheme of the Omen design, I have to admit that the core i7, GTX 1050ti, is exactly what I was looking for in a gaming capable laptop that is under the $1000. The Best Buy sales guy, who sold me this laptop, just knew what I wanted, showed me the HP Omen, and out the door with it in hand. After unboxing, first boot up, and about 2 hours of Windows and Nvidia driver updates and it's off running. Runs all my games at all the settings that I am happy with (med-hi). The 128 GB M.2 ssd is alittle small, but can't complain with the 1 GB storage drive. Just reset all my windows settings to have all apps and games stored there instead of the SSD. Speed is good, able to upgrade my RAM to 16GB with very little effort on getting the bottom panel out. Just take your time in unscrewing and unhooking the clips from the bottom panel. I've read others about stripping the bottom screws, and I can see why as it would need a firm grip on my screw driver to unscrew. BE VERY CAREFUL on disconnecting the sata cable from hard drive to motherboard before you take the hard drive out. I was being stupid and just unscrewed and pull the hard drive out....thinking there was enough sata cable slack. There isn't and just pulled the cable right out from the sata port/motherboard. Thank goodness no damage, but just be warned. Screen is decent, but yeah, it's a 60Hz monitor. For mine being around $880, I can't complain. Would have gone for the 120Hz to get more frame rates in my games, but again....can't complain. As stated before, not really into the red gaming scheme, but almost every gaming laptop has this theme going, but I got used to it. Not sure I can take it to office meetings though. Sound, web cam, i/o ports are all good, so no issues there. A GTX1060 would have been ideal, but between the 1050 and 1050ti, spend a little more and go for the ti. Battery is good for what is is...3-4 hours regular use and 1 hour when gaming. Screen hinge is a little looser than I like, but doesn't wobble so I'll see when time goes on. Will purchase this all over again if I have to. If there was a ti version in the HP Power 15t, I might have gone for that one, as it's theme is green and not gaming red, but for the price of a ti card, what the heck. =) Now, if i had to choose between this and the Dell Inpsiron, would still go for the Omen. Maintenance on heat pipes on the Omen looks easier than that of the Dell, mainly because the Inspiron's cpu/gpu heat pipes are hidden under the back panels.

Don't use it for gaming just programming does the job

I am a computer nut. I Base my reviews off the specifications of this computer and the price. It has tremendous speed and a descent graphics card. If you compare it to more expensive models this laptop beats many. The 1080 screen (no issue) could be 4k but not at this price point. The lighted keyboard is excellent. The red doesnt hurt your eyes at night and it's easy to see the characters. There is plenty of storage and the SSD makes start up super quick. I haven't ran any games but only typically play modern warfare. It's great for school and will serve as a good laptop for many years. I have had a couple dells and wont have any more (discount through employer). If I didn't purchase HP, I would have gone with ASUS as I have built PC's and used their products with great success. I have had great success with HP in the past. The new windows update is nice but had to be updated on the PC. Install was smooth.

The HP Omen laptop got “stuck” doing Windows updates. HP support was not helpful. I returned the HP Omen. Having issues right out of the box and the lack of assistance from HP support made the decision to return the HP Omen laptop a very easy one to make.

Bought this on sale for $849 for my son for Christmas. Coming from an older Dell that would not play his video games, this thing is a beast. Very fast, great graphics. My son loves it. Only thing is the charging adapter gets very hot if left plugged in.

My son has been using this for almost ten years, and it is still comparable to many current models. He is able to play his games flawlessly, and it has been a huge help for his schoolwork with the Microsoft 365 updates. I highly suggest the Omen line to anyone that wants a great laptop without spending a ton of money.

I like the laptop a lot. As far as all gaming machines go, I'd call this low to mid tier. But for a laptop it's great. I think most of the negative reviews are from people that don't understand what they bought. It's a gaming laptop. it's going to get hot and it's going to make noise. If you want something cool and quiet, don't get a gaming laptop. My only real complaint is that the backlit keyboard basically has to be on at all times because it's never bright enough to see all the keys without it.
