Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've had this computer for about a year now and it's been very good to me. I can run everything on high or ultra settings. I would highly recommend this computer to anyone who wants a good gaming PC but doesn't want to build one.

The unit is a little pricey, but tower works great with great graphics and quick speed going from app to app. I would recommend. I would clearly say though for you to wait until its on sale.

This was a great purchase! Use the computer for gaming ad it runs smoothly!

I normally build my own PC, but lately it's cheaper to buy a pre built unit like his HP. Ive had it about a month and i have no issues. I use it for gaming as well photo editing. It has handled every task I have given it, no problem.

It was time for an upgrade. I found this open box item and I can't say enough of how super fast and incredible this computer is. I play all the graphic intense games online and they run so smooth. I love this computer!!

Well the first one I returned the computer froze and would not reboot or go into safe mode the second one has worked fine it is very fast

The computer has a high end graphics card and all the rest to hold up alongside it. It runs some Minecraft-esque games on max settings and things upwards of it on medium to high mixture. Pretty good overall. Really slow startup time after a little while of not turning it on.

Sleek design with good gaming specs. I'm not disappointed at all.

I play online, and couldn't be happier with this machine it's well built and just a monster for speed for the price. The graphics card alone is 400, the only thing that could have made it any better would be having a SSD drive.

As nearby labels can attest, I was given this unit in exchange for an unbiased review. Overall, the HP OMEN Desktop 870-244 is a very good machine, but it is certainly lacking in some areas. First, the good. With an i7-7700 Intel processor coupled with 16GB RAM, this unit will keep you ahead of the technology curve for the next few years. Other great aspects of this PC includes the latest in wireless connectivity (including Bluetooth 4.2 M.2) and the exceptional NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card that includes 8GB dedicated RAM. Of course, for this PC, the real sell is the graphics card, itself worth at least $400. It comes with three DisplayPort ports and one HDMI port. Since I happen to have a new LG Ultrawide monitor to pair up with the PC, I must say that the graphics are simply fantastic, especially if you're a novice gamer (such as myself). For example, Star Wars: Battlefront plays very well on this card in 21:9 mode. What would you do with the other two DisplayPort ports? Connect two more monitors! There are several YouTube videos that describe how to set games up in this fashion, and while I don't have that kind of hardware to play with, it appears that the GTX 1070 would serve well in that capacity. Regarding inputs, HP went crazy with them: the HP OMEN has 6 USB puts on the rear and 4 on the top (the top of the machine includes a large indentation for reasonable access to the USB ports, analog headset jack, and card reader). The power button is situated to the top/front of the box, as is a wifi indicator. I think that was engineered well. On the odd side, some things really stuck out. First, there is a full-length side vent to the PC towards the front/right of the machine (when looking straight on). That means you'll want to keep some space for airflow on that side. Also, if you tilt the machine forward to reach for rear inputs, the front facade extends to the point that it stops the tilt. And while this PC might be more designed to sit on a desk than under it, do note that there are dual plastic inset light "trails" (from top to bottom) where HP has decided to include lighting that displays through the entire color gamut; aside for pure aesthetics, I don't think this provides any other functionality at all whatsoever. Also interesting -- between the lights -- there is a vertical DVD drive, so you'll have to make sure you firmly attach the disc to the actual spindle, else the disc will fall out. Now, for the bad. This PC shipped with a 1TB 7200 RPM hard drive. I'm not sure why HP is essentially wasting a gamer's time with *not* installing either a hybrid drive or a full-on SSD (Solid State Drive), but this is definitely one of the PC's downsides out of the box. Granted, it's noticeably faster than a 5200 RPM drive, but you can definitely get the device to struggle under load (most I/O bottlenecks on PCs (or Macs, for that matter) occur at the hard drive level; replace it with an SSD drive and you effectively have near-immediate responses to everything). Next, the included peripherals -- HP-branded mouse and keyboard. Both are extremely cheap, and the keyboard is so bad to me that I had to replace it with a Microsoft ergonomic keyboard I happened to have available. Really, HP -- you've completely slacked on the main, basic peripherals for what is otherwise a good machine. Regardless of the above points, overall, if you want a solid PC that can also absolutely handle the latest games (and then some), the HP OMEN is definitely worth considering. However, to really make it scream, I'd recommend opting for an SSD drive as well as separate keyboard and mouse.

Never dreamed I could have a computer that ran so clean and fast

Very fast no unnecessary software just windows 10 very quiet.

I'm having The best experience to play video games with OMEN

Great gaming machine. Very fast and has lots of USB ports.

Needed a new computer and went with HP windows 10 icore 7. Easy setup, took less than 10 minutes and was up and ready.

Machine is very stylish and not too flashy for a gaming PC, and the inclusion of a very decent video card is sweet, the GTX 1070. Also got a HP - Mixed Reality Headset and Controllers FREE, and they are great!

This computer is a beast. I have played all kinds of games on here and it never slows down. This computer is so quiet that I can't even hear the fans running. Loads websites in seconds and boots up very fast. I also purchased webroot for it and running that hasn't even slowed it down. If you want a fast computer look no further just buy this one you won't be disappointed.

Love the aesthetics, runs every game I've tried with no issues at 60 fps, all the extra media ports are great, easy set up, would recommend to anyone looking for an entry level gaming computer

Really enjoying this fast computer.for the new FarCry 5. It really works well for all of the fast moving graphics. It also is replacing an older PC that we use for keeping our financial records.

Bought this system for son at college when his blue screened. It was easy set up with no bloatware to remove... BIG plus. Very fast system. Runs his games at max setting. Graphics card is a beast
