HP OMEN 45L Gaming Desktop, 13th Generation Intel Core i7-13700KF, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB Solid StateDrive, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Graphics, Windows 11 Home, GT22-1072(2023)

I bought this computer to replace my HP Omen 30L. I was ready for an upgrade but didn't need anything too crazy. This Gaming PC was at the perfect price and works great and has the room to expand if I choose too. Plus HP has great customer service

Been using it for a while and it definitely exceeded my expectations.

Set up was very easy. Plug and go. Better than expected and is very fast. Handles every game I play at high FPS(+144fps easy) and at max graphics.

I purchased this for my wife and when it got here the first time I turned it on it said that I needed to install an operating system. So I turned it off and turned it back on and it worked. Got everything setup and it started to crash during games or the audio would mess up. So we sent it back and got a replacement the replacement didn’t have the same issues except it was damaged like someone drug it down a road. Chipped scraped up inside the case as well. But the glass on the side panel did not have a scratch on it making me believe that they have horrible quality control. This computer also had similar issues with crashing. Both boxes that it shipped in had some minor damage but nothing bad enough to damage the pc. They also ship them in their factory box so hopefully it doesn’t rain or you don’t have someone see a big gaming pc box on your front porch when it gets delivered. I’ve just refunded the product and bought her a new pc from CLX.

This is my first ever pc. I gotta say, it's amazing. I have the 4070ti version and it has blown me away. My only gripe is the cable management. In the pictures, it looks nice. Mine, not so much. It's not so bad that I'm gonna try to re do it all myself, which I won't do mostly because I'm a little bit scared to, but it's definitely kinda disappointing. It's easy to clean, it hasn't gotten loud yet, no lagging so far. So, I'd say so far so good.

Amazing and easy to upgrade.

Fast shipping and happy that it was shipped directly from Amazon.

11/4/23 After two months of ownership, I had an issue that required me reaching out to HP support. Based on that interaction, I removed a star. Didn’t feel like HP treated me like I bought a premium product from them, despite this being a premium problem. The actual issue was crash to desktop during a game. They told me I should take it to Best Buy… like… what? How about no. Eventually had to reset whole computer to factory settings, lost what little I had on the PC. So far no further issues but I wouldn’t expect HP to treat you like you’ve paid what you paid for this, should you need help. Eventually got someone who was helpful and didn’t talk to me like I’m a PC noob, but customer support was subpar in my opinion, and I feel like I should have just built my own as usual, saved a bit of money and then I’m my own support. Maybe that was just my luck with who I spoke to, but not impressed at all. —— Got my omen 45L on sale for $1800, I7 13700kF, 16gb 5200 ram, 4070TI Pros - plays starfield on higher settings than my I5/2070 it replaced, on my 34” 1440 monitor at 165hz. Getting solid frame rates all the time, playing on mostly on ultra but using the built in game manager - works very well! Haven’t tried any other games yet but the increase in quality was staggering for SF. My setup was really easy, just delete all the HP bloatware (5 min of work). I hate windows 11 but that isn’t omens fault. Box is heavy, be aware but at this price I want the heft, so I feel like I got my moneys worth. Lighting controls for the box are easy. Cooling system definitely works! External form factor is pleasing and feels premium… once I turned down the brightness on the lights lmao Cons - I wouldn’t pay more than $1800 for my specs, price it out on partspicker and make sure you’re getting a value you’re comfortable with. Wire management is good but not as good as it should be at this price point. Has some bloatware from HP, just like everything HP does. Windows 11 is terrible but it’s what there is unless you’re gonna Linux so, oh well I guess. None of those cons are really a surprise. Overall I am so happy I got a completely new rig instead of building my own - this delivered what I wanted - great performance out of the box without me having to spend weeks optimizing things, swapping out noisy parts etc. Feels premium and on sale I was super comfortable with the price. If I’d paid $2500, well I wouldn’t have made that purchase. But on sale? Heck yeah!
