I work from home as a software engineer and let me tell you, after being trapped in efficiency-core prison w/ the last few generations of Intel CPU, it is SO FREAKING NICE to go back to an all-performance-core world. No more random lag contrast when you lose the task scheduling library and draw an efficiency core for some UI you're interacting with
This is maybe the first actually cool looking desktop computer I've ever seen. I put it up on my desk and it kind of makes the room. I really hope HP sticks w/ this aesthetic for the front because it kind of makes you love your computer
This thing is very fast, but you can def tax it if you go hard enough. I run a ton of serverware, many instances of various dev tools and AI coding suites at the same time, and I was able to get it to chug a little bit but only in the rarest of dynamic use cases where I was working on multiple projects at once.
I don't really game but ran it through some Borderlands and Dota for a few hours to see how she do and on my 165Hz Ark 2 ( the 55" curved 4k one ) everything looked pristine and ran smoothly af
Cannot recommend this computer enough, seems to go on sale every 2 weeks or less, as low as ten fourty nine and nine ninety nooooine one time. Was able to get Best Buy to price match my purchase down to the sales price after the fact
Really impressed w/ this thing, just keep in mind you are paying a slight premium for the design compared to the absolute cheapest you can get away with for similar specs, and it is SOOOOO WORTH IT and will change your entire relationship w/ your rig. Every time I walk into my office and see this thing, I smile and get hyped to work

Great pre built, good value

A quick disclaimer, I’m no PC expert at all, but I did a ton of research on PC parts and kept coming back to this being really good value for a pre built. All parts appear to me to be released in 2024 and are upgradable so you can update them if you wanted to change out some parts in the future.
I am coming from playing on a laptop and an Xbox series S, and this is definitely a great improvement and is noticeably more capable, as I would have expected.
The Ryzen 7 8700G (based on my research) is not the best part for this PC, even thought its new, it takes some of its power to run an internal graphics card, which is not needed since it’s got a 4060ti graphics card in it. However, since it’s a 2024 release and given that I’m not planning to be running anything crazy on this PC, I wasn’t concerned. I have not had any issues at all with it though! If I was custom building a PC, I wouldn’t have chosen it, but it’s very capable and given the price it’s great.
The 4060ti is awesome. No complaints at all on anything with that or really any other parts. 16gb RAM has been plenty for me so far, might add more later, but have had no issues so far. I’m told adding RAM is easy and it doesn’t look like it’s expensive (compared to other parts).
The color settings are super cool, I’ve had some confusion getting my keyboard to tie in with the color settings on the rgb fans and stuff. But I don’t really care too much on that. It’s probably easily fixable and I haven’t spent the time to figure it out yet.

2 months later, I can confidently say that it was a worthy investment. It can rock most modern AAA games at 1440p within 70-144 fps which is solid considering I got for ~$1000. Omen’s Gaming Hub is well suited for novice users and has a fairly in-depth customization system for your PC experience. This comes in the form of customization of RGB, fan speeds, CPU and RAM overclocking (if you’re into that), and is relatively user friendly.

Ready to game out of the box, very reliable and QUIET!!!
Best pre-built gaming PC available (better than dell alienware w/ the same specs).
I play all kinds of games (FPS, MOBA, MMO,...etc.) and run android emulator everyday and have zero issues so far (2nd month after I got it with $500 off).
I have several gaming laptops and two dell alienware PCs, but the HP OMEN is my only favorite gaming PC now.

The 35L is a great PC. Takes care of all your gaming needs unless youre top 2% in the world and that is your job, this PC will be enough and then some for the average person. I love it as its morecthan i expected. I got it on sale for 999 plus 10% off my first time purchase on my best buy citi bank card plus I had $100 store credit so i got it FOR ONLY 799 PLUS TAX. Now price is back up to 1500 plus tax . I am definitely Satisfied !!

I could not be happier with this purchase! The first thing I noticed was how quiet it was; no more whirring noises from the fan, it is completely silent! Setup was a breeze; it basically, intuitively set itself up. It was so quick and easy with zero issues. The case and lights are gorgeous. I really look forward to using this for the next several years. Super happy!

The HP 35L is a powerful gaming PC that runs smoothly and delivers great performance for both gaming and productivity. I’ve been really happy with the overall build and speed.
That said, I’m only giving it 4 stars because of my experience with Best Buy’s price match policy. I paid the regular price of $1600, and just two days later it went on sale for a bit under $1300. I called and spoke with a Best Buy associate who confirmed the price match was processed since it fell within the 14-day window—but I still haven’t seen any price adjustment on my account.
I definitely recommend the PC—it’s worth the price, especially on sale—but I’d advise others to keep an eye out for discounts and be persistent if you’re counting on the price match guarantee.

From Console to PC no Turning Back

Recently made the switch from Xbox to PC and this computer is on a completely different level compared to Xbox. Plays Star Citizen flawlessly and runs amazing. Only thing I suggest for the upgrade is the RAM. I bought this knowing that would be a necessary upgrade when running high performance games but the Nvidia GeForce does a very nice job compensating what this build lacks in RAM. I’m never going back to Xbox after this product.

Our sales rep in store was super helpful in finding the Omen in store and helping me (Mom, nongamer) feel more comfortable about choosing it for my son (huge gamer). This gift made Christmas! Love the speed and all other features it provides. Recommend 100 times over.

Bought a gaming computer to replace previous i5 more businesslike model. I thought I deserved some whiz-bang, and I wanted support for multiple monitors right out of the box. Every computer I've ever had (and it's a high number) has been boring. So far, I'm quite happy with it. It's very cool looking in addition to being easy to set up, and quite zippy.
I use my computer for computer graphics, but of the sign-design variety, not 3D-modeling or anything. I use the Corel Graphics suite, and some proprietary sign software. It handles it quite well. I may get some more memory for it, but haven't seen a pressing need yet.
The keyboard is fine. The mouse is trash. I replaced that after just holding the original mouse. Lightweight and cheap. But the best part was being able to operate three 32" monitors at full resolution AND my UHD TV, with no need for tweaking, for buying anything else! Loving it so far.

Amazing gaming desktop pre-build! I upgraded from a gaming laptop, and it has definitely been a game changer! (no pun intended) This desktop offers the ability to easily upgraded later on down the road. The LED control on the fans is stunning! I highly recommend this PC for beginners and experience gamers!

I bout this thing a few weeks ago, and I instantly popped out the working memory and put 64GB of DDR5 in there and swapped out the GPU to an RTX 5070 and put a 4TB NVME in there with a 1TB Sata drive to dualboot Windows and openSUSE. This thing handles new hardware like a champ so you can upgrade this thing to your hearts content, and you likely won't have any issues. Totally would recommend!

The HP Omen 35L is a great gaming computer

My previous HP Omen served me well for nearly 8 years with only minor upgrades (more RAM and an SSD). The HP Omen 35L has everything! The power, the style, the whisper quiet fans, the glass panel and the lights! Being able to increase my graphics settings from 50% to maximum has made older games new again! Combine that with Black Friday and I couldn't have made a better choice. Highly recommended!

This is my first gaming PC and i was previously looking to build my own but this one had everything I needed for less than what my build was going to be. Super fast and I’ve had no issues with it. Looks really cool too.
