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.

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.

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.

It is the most suitable and good laptop in the price essentially for a student like me 🥰

Maybe make better laptops that actually work

It works and it plays games really well

Awesome laptop with incredible speeeeeeed!

I love it!

Fast bootup, have not had any issues once I learned this is a laptop, not a tablet. Great job, HP!

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