Praise to HP- OMEN with 4090 at $2400

[Bullit]

The lack of component choice in laptop industry forcing consumers to buy top CPU's, top SSD with top GPU seems to be at end at least in HP.

I give praise also! I own a  3060 omen and its great, one of the best laptops iv'e owned. they must have good quality control as I have yet to have an issue with HP. MSI/Acer/clevo all had issues. this is a safe bet . thanks for this guy

That is a steal for a RTX 4090 laptop and the i7-13700HX is a pretty powerful CPU but sadly the HP Omens still uses the same chassis design since 2020...

@KING19 If its anything like the omen 16 it's built like a tank. I don't know each to their own. I personally have owned every brand except dell and hp is the only brand I don't have issues with. they must have great quality control because iv'e been running the fans at max for 1.5 years now and 0 problems and great temps given the right settings. not many laptops run full bore.

Thats odd. I used to work for HP in Aust and I wouldn't touch their garbage if you paid me (again).....That being said It was mostly servers and workstations I worked on. Around the time they took over Compaq (so I also worked on a lot of those)

 

Never even seen an Omen Laptop

yeah I never thought much of HP, they never really had anything I liked or that I would buy, heard the omen was a good form factor(thinner than a clevo) and good temps. It true its average size and the temps are good compared to 90 percent of whats out there. I don't know its alright, the main thing is it doesnt crash and it doesn't have hardware issues, Iv'e been overclocking it and running max fans and it hasn't given up once. my msi gs63vr had fans go 2 times in 6 months so yeah I just avoid msi now. razer seems good but typically they have poor thermals well they used to, not sure what there like these days, haven't really been researching much as I have a laptop and it runs well.

I have a bad history with HP laptops in the past, even my last laptop which was a HP ENVY 17 went through it a share of issues and im surprised it still works even though its 9 years old after repairing most of it myself including a motherboard replacement.

 

Im sure they've improved a lot since then and i would buy one at a good price but the only problem i have with the HP OMEN's is that they been using the same chassis design since 2020 with no changes whatsoever besides the CPU and GPU.

well I say this from 2 laptops which doesn't speak of all their laptops. I had a i5 gen 4 regualr laptop without gaming capabilities and it lasted me 4 years sold it and im sure its still around and kicking. after seeing this laptop for 2300 I thought well its hp ill give them a shot again. Im amazed because 0 laptops are designed to run full fans for 1 and a half years. they simply don't design them to do that, as why would you leave your laptop on for years at full bore without shutting it down.
