HP OMEN - 16.1" QHD Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 - 1TB SSD - Ceramic White

This is THE BEST GAMING LAPTOP Best Buy has at its price point! $1499 is a steal and even at regular price I stand by my statement in terms of performance and value! I come have been through the horrible HP Omen 15 (3070) MSI G76 (3070), Razer 14 (3070), Gigabyte 15 (3080), Asus m15 i9 and Ryzen 9 Versions (3060 & 3070), Asus Rog Strix 17 inch (3060 my favorite) and this Laptop right here should be laptop of year in this price range. The Hinges are solid on this build and many people seem to care about that. Keyboard is well lit and the function key shortcuts are lit as well! (The little things) The screen is sharper than any of the above I mentioned granted they were all fhd so comparing isn’t fair! I work on dual QHD monitors and game on a 4k Sony and on Max settings it handles everything I’ve thrown at it. Fan noise is normal in terms of gaming and thermals are pretty good as well! Battery life (no gaming) gave me about 3-4 hours of web browsing and work not phenomenal but that works for me. The Gen 4 Drive and Ram expandable to 64gb gives room to run as a workstation as it can definitely handle it! Not as heavy as anticipated and the White finish is different

I love this laptop !!! The one star reviews almost made not purchase this item due to what was said in their reviews that I find to be red flags. But I can say everything works smooth for me (but that doesn’t mean they were lying just because I don’t have the same issues as them). Key notes !!!! 1. Yes the gpu is the 115 watt version 2. Rtx 3070 8gb ram version 3. Temps are really good if tweak some stuff 4. The software is really good 5. Yes the screen does wobble because the top half is heavy while the bottom is lite so it’s not balanced well 6. The speaker are good but bass sucks 7. My trackpad works just fine no issues * The fans are loud and when in idle the fans has this high pitch noise that drove me crazy until I fixed fan curves to where I wanted it at and the pitch noise is gone Overall this laptop is a beast I’m playing Doom at 1440p high settings, cpu undervolt, and on balanced power and I’m getting 144 fps with the temps cpu 76 degrees and gpu around 70 degrees as well.

I've been running this badboy for 2yr+ at this point, and it is as strong as ever. This laptop handles it all and stays cool with its strong thermal layout. Might not be able to run all the latest titles at Ultra, but it can handle pretty much anything pre-2016 on Ultra and most recent releases on medium-high settings. Frankly I rarely notice the difference. I love this beast. My only complaint is that the battery has always had a short runtime, but I'm always on shore-power and I use performance-maximizing settings even on battery.

Very very powerful machine I love the display good brightness and colors, I hate to see the pixels in the screen (1080p) but this is not the case. The only downside is the battery life, it drains a lot but I understand that it needs to consume a lot of power to move that amount of power By the way I love the color Good job Best Buy for this particular exclusive model.

Hands down a banger, except for some of the functions having to rely on closed sourced software, but performance never lets me down!

This laptop is great. Very powerful and fast. It has optimus so you can desctivate the crappy igpu and use only the rtx 3070. The screen is good (1440p and 165hz). It runs all games on ultra with a decent amount of fps. If you buy on sale (1499$) is a steal. But right now I’ll recomend to wait for the 3070ti model.

This laptop is horrendous. I bought it for my son for Xmas and was so excited that he finally gets a decent laptop. From the beginning, it would repeatedly shut down unexpectedly, fans run on max for no reason, overheats all the time running low consuming apps, even just watching YouTube, the laptop overheats and fans at max speed. Battery was always only an hour or two from the beginnnng. Eventually the laptop fried 14 months later with basic usage. How convenient that the warranty expires after 1 year. This is so devastating. HP will not fix.

This is by far my favorite purchase i have made in the past few years. The power of this gaming laptop is incredible. Honestly for the price its well worth it. I went back and forth between this one and a few others and iam glad i made the decision i did. Highly recommend
