I bought this at a sale price ($1199.99), and honestly. it is one hell of a deal at that price; especially when you consider what you are getting.
A clean looking matte finish laptop, with a 54W Ryzen9 7940HS, a 70W TDP RTX4070 (can boost), 2 sodimm slots (ddr5-5600), 2 gen4 m.2 slots for storage and an 83whr battery that can go for 7 hours (from my testing) thanks to the Ryzen processor and FHD screen. Plus, this thing comes with a heatshield and thermal pads for your 2nd ssd, which a surprise to be sure, but a very welcome one.
The speakers get loud enough, lacks bass but have decent separation. So, it's a mixed bag, where some genres of music sound good while others not so much. The screen is just regular the FHD 16:9, 165hz, with good color accuracy. Which is a good pairing for the components, since this makes the keyboard cool/warm during games and fans don't get as loud. The keyboard has a nice clickyness to it; making it satisfying to type on but not too loud that it would annoy someone beside you in a library (has an odd layout though, needs some getting used to).
A few nitpicks though.
The power button... why HP? Why did you put it right above the "backspace" and beside the "delete" button. I hit the power button so much due to its placement, but luckily that just pressing it doesn't do anything (needs to be held down for a bit). Also, a calculator shortcut... its kinda odd on a gaming laptop.
It's a fingerprint/hand oil magnet due to its matte finish, still it looks great though, and it doesn't look like it will be prone to scratches like a Razer Blade.
Some features are hidden in the BIOS instead of just being able to access it in one of the plethora of HP software, like the FN lock. F10 to access to BIOS BTW.

I have always been an intel CPU fan; however, the Ryzen 9 CPU in this laptop along with the Nvidia 4070 RTX Graphics card is an amazing combination. I play World of Warcraft on maximum settings, turned up to 10 in game graphics quality at 1080P. Even after hours of playing, the thermals on this laptop are impressive. No overheatingh. The screen quality is very nice with no light bleeding. I haven’t tested the wireless card in the laptop. I added a second hard drive, a WD 1000GB SSD, for data storage. The stock 512 SSD is perfect as a boot drive, but won’t be enough storage for most gamers. Fortunately HP Omen provided a second SSD slot for easy upgrades. The SSD it comes with is also upgradable. I havn’t upgraded the memory yet, but it’s nice to see two RAM slots for full memory upgradability if I ever want to. I am finding the current 16GB is sufficient. There is some confusion on the upgradability of this laptop, so I”ll clear up the confusion now. This laptop is made by HP Omen just for Best Buy. This model actuall has two accessable RAM slots, and two accessable SSD slots. The wireless card is also upgradable. I highly recommend this laptop for the AAA gamer, or anyone who needs a powerful, reliable laptop.

Absolute best Laptop I have ever owned.
For Starters- This laptop looks fantastic. In my opinion most gaming laptops look tacky and cheap with all the rainbow colors and bright lights going on.
This bad boy will fit right in at the office, at the hotel, at business conferences, and other professional environment.
The display is better than my LG Gaming monitors that I run on my desktop. This thing is fast. I run Solid Works and Fusion 360 CAD programs on it. It renders quickly. It also handles some games such as Rust, Ark, Bellwright, and The Finals very well. I have not tested on something intense like Baldurs Gate but I would imagine it could handle them with a decent frame rate for an enjoyable experience on a laptop while on vacation or out of town for work.

I've had this PC for about a year now and it started out great, was able to play most of my games without any issues but one thing I did notice early on was the batter life was very poor and in order to game on a acceptable level I had to be plugged in to a outlet. Almost a whole year later and the laptop started having major issues battery life would just be sucked out of it after about an hour or less of just surfing the web YouTube etc. And if I would game it would be done in like 30 min or less. And I believe that led to my current problems now were I get blue screens all the time I can no longer game at all it just laggs itself to death until a force crash or blue screen. Attempted to call HP they never answered a phone call so I just started a chat support and told them the problems I was having. They literally act like they don't know anything about Computers because they were just reading for a script and I was way past most of the troubleshooting they were making me go through. Long story short after they took control of my PC it no longer turns on at all. They said they would send a box for me to pack it up and send it to them and I just got an email asking me to go through troubleshooting again when it literally will not power at all. I don't know they expect me to troubleshoot something that will not power at all. It obviously a hardware issue but let's see if they will actually fix my computer or just give the run around until warranty expires next month. Will update later.

HP OMEN 16 (2023) review: Updated with new internals, minor design tweaksOur HP OMEN 16 gaming laptop review looks at a configurable Intel-powered laptop with a 16.1-inch 240Hz QHD display and even better cooling technology.
A:AnswerI put in G.SKILL Ripjaws SO-DIMM 64GB Model F5-5600S4040A32GX2-RS. it works. This omen (16-xf0033dx) recognizes the 64G ram immediately and runs at 5600
A:AnswerI couldn't find any DDR5-5600 SODIMM memory on best buy's site presently, but I ordered this from an alternative store: CT2K16G56C46S5 Crucial Ram 32GB kit - it worked well in my laptop.
I also ordered a stick of SN850X SSD without a heatsink from Best buy with my purchase. There's an available slot which includes an aluminum heatsink already inside of the laptop.
There may not be enough clearance if you purchase an SSD with a heatsink.
I hope this helps, cheers!
A:AnswerThank you for the question. Yes, the GPU on the Omen 16-xf0033-dx is an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070 Laptop GPU (8 GB GDDR6 dedicated). The design and features of the 16-xf0033dx is exclusive to Best Buy.
