HP Omen Gaming Laptop 15.6” Full HD, Intel Core i7-8750H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Graphics, 1TB HDD + 256GB SSD, 16GB SDRAM, 4 Zone Backlit Keyboard, 15-ce198wm

while it may be my first gaming computer I've owned and i lack experience in this area. I have to say I'm happy. everything feels sturdy. and everything works. people can play their GTA and all the PubG right out of the box. but! i definitely recommend you buy a cooling pad. cuz she gets hawt really quick. like over 90°C other than that awesome have fun :3

This laptop runs the main programs (ie. operating system and important programs) off of the included 256GB PCIe SSD hard drive, so you can insure a very stable and FAST start up and loading. All browsing and streaming from the internet is super fast, accordingly with your internet speed, of course. The extra internal 1TB 7200 rpm SATA HDD gives for extra space for everything else. The microprocessor is Intel Core i7-8705G with Radeon RX Vega M GL Graphics (3.1 GHz base frequency, up to 4.1 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, 8 MB cache, 4 cores). Memory is 16 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM (2 x 8 GB). Video graphics is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB GDDR5 dedicated). The display is 15.6" diagonal FHD IPS anti-glare WLED-backlit (1920 x 1080). The laptop comes with Windows 10 Home 64 installed. It weighs around 5.7lbs, with dual speakers, and lasts about an average of 3-6 hours of battery time (dependent on how you use it). The charger that comes with it though is big, bulky, and heavy, and almost weighs just as much as the laptop does. It also does not have a CD-ROM drive, but nothing a USB CD-ROM drive can't fix. The keypad feels normal, as in, there's nothing special about it and nothing odd about it, which is the way I like it because there are times a slight placement of certain keys or smaller keys (like the SHIFT key) throws my quick clicking/typing habits a little off. The keys light up in several colors, even sectionally different colors at the same time, so that's really neat. There are plenty of ports with 1 Thunderbolt 3 (Data Transfer up to 40 Gb/s, DP1.2, HP Sleep and Charge), 3 USB 3.1 Gen 1 (1 HP Sleep and Charge), 1 Mini DisplayPort, 1 HDMI, 1 RJ-45, 1 headphone/microphone combo, and 1 microphone-in. The laptop runs games smoothly on high-end graphics, such as Left for Dead 2 (old game of 10 years maybe) to Guild Wars 2. For those looking to hook up virtual reality (Oculus) to it, I'm glad to say that the HP Omen 15-CE198WM runs it quite well. Because I also look at the price-point of technology to its capabilities and features, this is a truly SOLID laptop for most gamers, beginners and intermediate. It runs smoothly, has a good keyboard, has little to no snags, and plays just about everything.

I was a loyal Dell brand user for years, and this laptop has made me confident in my decision to change. Yes, all of the qualities regarding the processor and memory, etc. are wonderful, but my favorite part about this laptop is that it is quiet! I hear it on occasion, but the volume when running is not annoying. It also doesn't seem to get too hot on my lap. The backlit keyboard can be turned off, so that isn't an issue for me. Another great thing about this laptop is that it is not a touch screen. I personally love that aspect- it's less to clean. Overall, I would recommend this laptop to anybody who wants or needs a new one!

An excellent product from HP with outstanding customer service. All of my tech products are HP and have been for years. I generally get excellent service and minimal issues with HP products. This is the first gaming laptop we have owned yet not the only one we have used. There were many reviews complaining about the backlit keyboard; we found the ability to change the colors to be remarkable when playing different games or just general daily use with emails and documents. Multiple input sites on each side. The contoured case is lightweight and attractive. Excellent gaming graphics, NOT a touchscreen. Colors are brilliant and vibrant on the screen for games and movies. Quick download with multiple genre items. 3-5 movies can download in less than a minute while playing a game and streaming music. No CD/DVD ROM. The power pack is bulky but the power cord has plenty of length for any use that exceeds the 3-6 hrs of battery time. Works well for games and virtual reality, excellent for beginners and intermediate, even our advanced gamer son's found the laptop to be an excellent product. New and older games ran well with no snags or freezes. Omen has a series of gaming laptops, this particular model is on the mid-range with many options that leave a person confused, but great options can be selected based on a person's use. This is a fun, attractive and well-built laptop.

Compared to the dell g7 with same specs I can tell that this laptop have better hardware and runs way quieter , I wasn't sure which one to get this or the dell so I got both and returned that one didn't meet my requirements, dell g7 i7 8750h 16 gb ram 128 ssd 1060 qmax vs ho with same specs just nvme 250 Samsung makes the difference in performance this one is a way faster , they keyboard can be customated with rgb (not spectrum wave or something fancy but you can do it in sections ) in terms on battery this laptop is pretty bad , but really quiet , I streamed fortnite all epic settings with no problem on stream no overheating nothing this laptop did it like my 8700k pc , amazing laptop it can run hot after long periods of gaming but it's insanely quiet than any other gaming laptop I purchased. Good laptop for the money to play all games at 1080 max settings , good for gaming ur not for college unless you have a plug near by

Runs great. It has great hardware and software. It gets a bit hot if you are running a game such as Atlas or Ark, but is fine with WoW. The screen looks crisp and clean. The case of the cumputer feels fine and so does the keyboard. It is worth the money and will last longer than buying a 1050 ti for cheaper.

First off, I'd like to say the build quality on this amazing. Compared to the Dell G7, which is within the same price point and similar specs, the HP Omen has more of a character. There's no doubt that with its 16GB RAM, GTX 1060 GPU, 256GB SSD, and 8th Gen i7, any gaming enthusiast will tell you this will run just about any game in the market on its glorious 15.6" anti-glare screen. Oh, did I also mention, this HP Omen runs B&O dual speakers to enhance your experience? Being a gaming fanatic for years, laying my hands on this has reignited my passion to run my PC games again, but in MAX settings this time. Flipping that monitor open gives me that uncontrollable excitement with its customizable Dragon Red backlit keyboard. If you wanted to take a break from gaming, the 71WHr battery life could last 5hours under light usage. Ultimately, you'll get the best bang for your buck for any gaming laptop within this league. *I am writing this review as part of a contest.

Regular everyday surfing is a breeze but obviously i bought it to play games on. It loads and runs all the games I play on it instantly and well. Minecraft, Skyrim, Deadfire, League, Doom, you name it it does it well. All of these run from the platter drive. The only things on the ssd are programs and windows. Some of my critics are the same old ones for laptops. Heat can get up there and I personally hate that the charging port is on the side and not the back. The rubber pads on the bottom dont seem to raise it high enough for good air flow because I just put some wads of tape on the corners to lift it up and it seems to have made a noticeable difference in temps from the increased airflow.

I'm a big PC gamer and at first, I was skeptical that the quality of this gaming PC wouldn't even come close to the Alienware line. However, the look and feel of it closely resembles that of your $2k plus Alienware products as well as the gaming functionality that it brings - all for a great, low price! Although the resolution of the screen/pixels is not as clear as your topline gaming PCs, the low price point vastly outweighs this small blemish. I also could not tell a huge difference, if any, regarding control responsiveness between this and the 17R4 Alienware that I currently have (was playing Fortnite and was not disappointed with the results). Overall, if you're shopping on a budget but want to have the same great gaming experience provided by other top of the line PCs, you definitely can't go wrong with the HP Omen 15.

This is a fantastic entry to mid-level gaming laptop for the price. It can handle almost anything you throw at it, with PC Benchmark showing it can run 92%+ of their game catalog in at least the required minimum settings. I can usually pull high settings and get a smooth frame rate over 80-90fps for most AAA games. My only issue with it has been THERMAL THROTTLING. When you pack such a powerful graphics card and processor (8th Feb i7s put out a LOT of heat), you will see your internal CPU temps reaching throttling temperature (100 C) fairly quickly depending on demand, thus causing a drop in performance. I had the thermal paste reapplied to the cpu (professionally, I don't want a $1000 brick), got a laptop cooling pad and keep it permanently propped upwards and with ample room for exhaust. I now have not seen my temperatures go above 80 C even in the most CPU and GPU intensive games I own (FH4, The Witcher 3, BL3, CoD Modern Warfare, etc.) So I highly recommend this computer IF you are willing to deal with some thermal throttling or are willing to spend a little extra for some additional cooling. The entire bottom of the computer is the fresh air intake so it is crucial that this part is uncovered and fed with cool air when under demand. This computer has been my daily go to for about 3 years now and the only complaint would be the ~3hr battery life, but that is most likely due to my leaving it on a charger at all times.
