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.
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.
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.
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.
