Beastly machine, garbage plastic

Mechanically-speaking this thing is a beast but I am less blown away by the exterior materials. I’m not expecting Apple-grade machining here but at this pricepoint we shouldnt be stuck with Fingerprint Magnet™ brand garbage plastic. Youre gonna want to skin this thing or it’ll look like your Aunt Linda’s 11 year-old Dell within a day and a half.

This laptop is a budget priced powerhouse. It will run any game I've played so far as well as one could hope. The only consideration is the same one all laptops have, you will want to get something to help it stay cool.

Great Laptop. I use it for photography/video editing. Also some music production. I love the built in gaming hub that allows me to manually adjust fan speeds and clear cache files easily. A great prosumer level laptop!

Great purchase for a college student. Full gaming capability while remaining portable and reliable. Have had it for several months now and enjoying it to its highest potential, traveling between dorm and home with it and no issues.

This is a good piece of equipment. I originally got it to use adobe and further my podcast and photography career, but have recently gotten into playing some games on it. It does tend to get hot fast but other than that it’s amazing.

im not happy with the purchase. I bought it for my son he likes to play games on it he takes care of the laptop. the laptop is always on his desk and he rarely put the screen down because when he put up the screen it doesn't open softly and last week a screw fell from the screen and we can see the glue. the construction is very cheap i paid $1000 and the screen is coming off. 2 years back i bought a $300 worth of laptop and screen and everything is still intact. i wont recommend this product to anyone poor construction looks like they used cheap material in manufacturing this laptop. and the price is very high i will attach the pictures you can see what happened with the $1000 worth of laptop. i will be contacting hp soon regarding this matter i wasnt expecting $1000 thing breaking up like this.

I've never ever had complains about tech, especially laptops. I bought this crap to replace my 2012 dell 15r se 7520 only because I burnt gpu down with diablo IV and started getting bluescreen which leads to win reinstall only.
Getting back to omen...
flaws:
1. all plastic.
2. win 11 but they all have it.
3. uncomfortable keyboard in my opinion (keys, pressing, etc)
4. no FN lock, only from bios
5. no Numpad keys. really? on a 16" laptop?
6. power button being a simple key between F12 and delete. Engineers are crazy!
7-8. read comments about wifi cutting off the speed. Tested - everything was fine, 500 mbps, ~20 ping. Was impressed. But after I set up the laptop and gave it a restart I was prompted to enter the pin - the moment I started it went on reboot.. fine. After the restart pin issue had gone but wifi didn't pick up on its own. I gave it a moment - nothing. I've tried to bounce (disabling/enabling) it hoping it picks up, but no. I tried it manually - nothing happened. I've tried to forget the network and reconnect providing password again - succeeded after a second attempt. Restarted a couple times - wifi worked fine but speed was 200 mbps. Im not complaining since everything is 50+ is fine with me but... how? why? I've also tried to shut down and start up the laptop - wifi was good so far, but i guess its a matter of time when it mess me up. very unreliable.
9. font on the keyboard is weird - what are those R, K and 5 symbols???
10. Best Buy! I bought this laptop 1/31/24, should've been delivered on 02/02 - delivery was running late and happened the next day, on the 3rd of Feb, which left me wo a laptop on the weekend while traveling. Today is the end of 2/4 when I spent a couple hours playing around it, writing a review and best buy says I can return it back till 18th of Feb. What why??? why is it not 30 days? why counting started from the order day and not the delivery one?
i'll probably keep the laptop for a couple more days for sake of curiosity testing other stuff that I need while looking for another brand. Giving the fact I kept my previous laptop for 11 years I need something comfier and more expensive like dell alienware

Worked great for 2 weeks and then the bluetooth and wifi just completely disappeared and no driver updates or troubleshooting helped.
