I love my laptop. I am an animator so this was perfect for me. I am using it for 3D in Maya and designing in unreal engine. I wanted a laptop that could do what my desktop OMEN can do on the go. It is good qualtity. The design of the laptop feel vintage. I did alot of research before making this decision. The Graphic card was important, the memory, I am an Intel® Core™ i7 girl and the storage. I basically made a list of all the programs I will be using on the laptop and made my decsion. The programs are all adobe product like photoshop, illustrator, 3D substance, indesign, 3D in maya, and unreal engine. I do also have a hard drive as well for saving my projects. Overall this was a perfect laptop for me in this season, as a designer.

This is exactly what my 18 years old son wanted on a gaming computer. The response to the games and the controllers is excellent, the graphics processor and memory are working great and my son it's been playing on this laptop at home and during our trip to Florida and Back Home in Michigan. His only comment besides how happy he is with this product, it's that it is a large lap-top and some of his friends from school mentioned how much bigger than other lap-tops and Chromebooks are. But he even loves the numbers keypad because he feels it helps him work faster on some of his AP Calculus and AP Physics tasks faster than the school Chromebook.

Bought my first Omen five years ago and it's still running strong. Loved the sleek design, the power and the solid build quality so much that I just picked up another one. Highly recommend.

It works and it plays games really well

The HP Omen gaming laptop feels very well-made, the screen is nice and it is plenty fast to do anything I need to do, including the CAD programs I run, and it has no problem with multiple graphics-intensive programs running simultaneously. The only reason I took away one star is that the 4-cell battery just doesn’t hold enough power to last very long while doing everything the laptop is capable of. I would say a full charge lasts from 45 minutes to an hour and 15, depending.

Overall not a bad laptop. I wanted to play AoE4 and expansion pack and Baulders Gate III. Only thing that get annoying is when resolution is set to highest to play games and then you stop and exit game the screen flickers a lot. Only fix I am able to do is reset resolution in safe mode and that fixes it till the next time.

I love how this laptop looks and feels! And the fan is very quiet/optimized, especially for lower end tasks. I have witnessed many gaming laptops in the past that just go full airplane engine when opening Chrome or something. Another thing I love about this laptop is the fact that the important ports are in the back. It really helps with cable management on a bed, where I use this laptop the most, because I don't have to face a certain direction for it to charge and be comfortable to use. However, the ports themselves felt a little misaligned??? They weren't broken, but I certainly had to wiggle my USBs to get them in and out. The charging cable also hangs fairly loose in the back port and sometimes falls out if I move a little. The battery life is just about what you'd expect from a gaming laptop: not great, but again, that's just something you have to accept if you're looking for a gaming laptop. The charging brick it comes with is also massive, making it a little hard to transport, but again, a small price to pay to have a laptop that can smoothly run bg3. Visible hardware aside, the specs of this thing are great. Everything I use runs very well on Windows. I would not recommend this laptop if you plan on changing your OS though, as it is definitely built for Windows. I tried using Linux on this laptop when I first got it and had some trouble with graphics because of the Nvidia card. I also had trouble changing the keyboard backlight color, because the only program available to change it is tied to the Microsoft store (and I am not well-versed enough to build hardware compatibility in OpenRGB). I never open Omen Gaming Hub. When I do it's almost always messy or laggy, even on an almost empty drive. I'm not that picky when it comes to gameplay specs and the computer's background processes already do their job well to make everything smooth, so to have the built-in keyboard tied to this app that is otherwise useless to me felt unneeded. Another very small issue I have is the screen. The colors seem very muted overall. That's about it with my complaints though.

Would be great but HP likes taking bribes from Microsoft and has gone full in, replacing the right control key with a Copilot key that no one wants. So, if you are left handed, like me. Get ready for the most insufferable experience ever while you have to re-learn how to type.

Not a bad gaming laptop. It's exactly what you would expect when you check the specs. HOWEVER... Omen 16 slim gaming laptops typically have 2 NVME slots for an optional upgraded drive. This particular model does NOT! It's like they made a cheap version and still called it the same thing. So if you need the option to expand storage space beyond a single slot limited at 2TB, you might want to check elsewhere. They conveniently leave this little fact out of the specs when they advertise. Shame on you Sam's club!

Display screen lasted about 30 minutes. Now it shows just displays black and white bars. Return process has been painful.
