I'm no professional gamer but this is a really nice laptop for the gamer like me. I wanted nice graphics with very little lag time and that's what the Omen delivers. With 5g wifi connection, it has some seriously competitive speed numbers. My frame rate is running around 100 and the picture quality is very nice. Crisp colors and no buffering issues yet. The only exception would be to have a bigger ssd drive. The 128 is nice for booting the system in around 12 seconds from start to finish but it would be nice to be able to load the game software on for faster control. You can load the games but there is not much room left when you get done. 1 game is alot of file size nowadays.
Well worth the money spent.

This is my first gaming laptop. I usually play my games on either my Xbox One X or my PS 4 Pro. I heard that PC gaming was a whole different experience so I wanted to try it out. I upgraded the memory from 8 gb to 12 gb. When the price of the SSD comes down I will put a bigger HD in it. It is a very fast computer.

I've had this little beast for a few months now and personally haven't had any technical problems. The only issues I have with the laptop is the screen isn't as bright as some of my lower end models (if you'll be using it in dynamic lighting environments or outside, this may be an issue) and considering that the speakers are branded as Bang & Olufsen, I was expecting more punch in the sound (same deal, I have lower end laptops that are louder).
As far as performance, it's actually a lot better than I expected. I do a lot of photo/video editing (<30MP/1080P), so I use Photoshop/Premiere/After Effects/Illustrator/etc regularly. I've never edited anything bigger than music videos and commercials on this laptop (I have a custom desktop for the heavy lifting) but the only time I've ever seen a hiccup is playback with heavily tracked effects. Renders much faster than expected (I've never seen more than 10mins, using Adobe Media Encoder).
Not sure exactly how the gaming performance is but I've ran Fortnite a few times and it looks better/smoother (in my opinion) than on both my Xbone and PS4.

I have been paying attention to the Hp Omen series laptop for some time. The original release was an amazing laptop that I didn’t pull the trigger on, instead opting for an Alienware. The second generation Omens weren’t quite as well appointed as the original release. This laptop makes up for the second gen Omen misstep. Lighter than my Alienware 15, thinner, and with the 1050 ti, it is capable of running Call Of Duty WWII with ease. The only trade off is space for expansion inside the case. Another M.2 slot would be nice, but not a deal breaker. If you are on the fence or think the sub 1000 price won’t give you a quality laptop, hop off of the fence and buy it already.

Bought this laptop play light to medium gaming and light VR. It more than exceeded my expectations. I’ve been using it with Windows Mixed Reality and has run ever VR Game I’ve thrown at it. Including Doom VR.
For none VR. I’ve been able to run most games at Ultra setting at 1080p. This included Star Wars Battlefront 2.
Laptop feels sturdy and hinge doesn’t have too much wobble.
Speakers sound decent and fans do not get too loud under full load.

I'm not a computer expert so take my review with a grain of salt.
Just like my rating, I would say the graphics is a 4 out of 5. I honestly don't think it's super great, but it IS above average, hence it being 4/5. I honestly don't know what people were talking about for the battery life. It works very well for me, playing games on this laptop without the charger.
And like I said before, I'm not an expert on computers so I did run into a few problems. My first time playing League of Legends on this laptop, the screen completely froze but I could still here the sounds. I had to switch the settings to low in order for it to work properly as well as to make it not lag. Kind of disappointed I couldn't play LOL in HD. Also had the same problem with playing Skyrim. Had to switch the settings to low (but the graphics still looked great nontheless).
The second issue I had was the lack of space in this laptop. For whatever reason, I don't have enough space to download a lot of games on my Steam and Origins account. Tried searching the web in order to clear up the disk space but to no avail.
The last issue I had is the design. I wasn't it expecting to be thin. But the real problem is the bottom part of the laptop. I bring laptops to my bed and place it on my legs. It's not really comfortable because of the holes on the bottom and the edges on the side.
TLDR: Great graphics, average design, poor storage space.

Excellent Black Friday deal on a great laptop. I originally bought a different Omen laptop a few weeks before Black Friday. I received an email from Best Buy on their Black Friday deals and saw this laptop, which had better specs than the original Omen I bought and it was cheaper! I returned my original purchase without any problems and bought this one instead.
