Excellent computer, well worth the money. Depending on the configuration and active promotions, about the same cost as DIY. Upgraded from a 1060 to a 4070 and the difference is massive - what I imagine going from a Camry to a Corvette is like in terms of speed. Case is beautiful; good build quality. This will crush just about anything and everything at 1440p, let alone 1080p, and no doubt that higher configs can take on 4k.
If you've seen popular videos about this computer, you should know that some of the complaints about this system (i.e., XMP-related comments, Intel integrated graphics, overclocking) have been fixed with BIOS updates or other general software updates. Some of the HP packaged software is genuinely helpful (OMEN Gaming Hub). Some not so much (McAfee, but if you like it, you've got a month free of it).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love my new PC. It runs fast and does everything I want it to, at least from a hardware perspective. The graphics are top notch as well. Microsoft Windows 11 however is terrible so I have software crashes on the regular and funky issues with it coming out of sleep mode every 15 minutes or so for no reason other than to run updates which is annoying.

Order in Jan 2024, upgraded from Omen 30L, used for photo editing and daily work, it runs very fast and quiet in most cases, better than expected, also like the hardware structure that can add / change the internal storage easily.

An excellent computer. Be prepared for the extra height for the cooling addon

HP neglected to set the XMP profile or provide instructions to make the memory run at the rated speed. Fortunately I found out how to get into the bios and pick a XMP profile via a Google search that found a forum with this topic. I also feel that the system should have come with 32GB of memory (not 16) based on the price and the need for more memory when using Windows 11.
The system itself runs great and is very fast and appears to be well built. USB disk transfer are still very slow (sometimes under 20 M/Sec) which I believe is the fault of Microsoft rather than HP but you never know. The drivers just may not be that great at this point.
I also wish that the USB ports were better labeled to understand best use case for each port. I found that using all of the rear ports resulted in my USB drives disappearing so I moved two of the 5 to the ports on the top and that behavior stopped. Also, at this point not 100% sure how to get the system overclocked to the point of hitting the advertised throughput but I did kick it up a couple of points and it appeared to help.

While I'm rating 5 stars, most of what I say will be the negatives (because everything else is that good).
The DRAM is very under-clocked and even if you get the exact same brand and model, HP won't support it in their managing software. You can use non-HP-sourced memory, but they treat you different.
The sound, while generally low, is noticeable when the machine is placed right next to you (at the same level). Some is fan sound and some is water pumps. Not really bad, and it runs cool enough that this is not a true complaint.
The graphics card is so huge that finding a 10G network card that fit in the one remaining slot was difficult. This card fit: Marvell AQtion AQC113C Controller, NICGIGA 10Gb Ethernet Adapter.
This card did not fit: TRENDnet 10 Gigabit PCIe Network Adapter (chip on back stuck out 2 mm)
I just used the other card in my old machine so now they all cruise at 10Gbit.

Can't say enough good about the quality of this 45L desktop. Powerful, reliable, outstanding graphics (with the 3080), and super-quiet thanks to the liquid cooling. HP service/support has also been excellent. I'm loving my decision!
