HP Omen 30L

Smooth 4K gaming ; Gorgeous design ; Accessible internals ; Ready to upgrade ; Good value

Can get very loud and hot

Classy outer chassis design with customizable lighting ; Scads of configuration options ; Easy end-user upgrades ; Integrated Wi-Fi 6, with no external antenna ; Built-in overclocking with Intel K-series CPU

Fan noise with CPU-intensive tasks ; Side-panel window exposes too much unpolished cabling ; No power-supply shroud ; Some preinstalled bloatware

HP’s Omen 30L is a solid pick for a mainstream gaming tower, if a smidge unpolished inside. It's widely configurable, with AMD and Intel CPU flavors, overclocking options, and RGB lighting.

Sleek, sexy RGB-friendly design ; Fantastic performance as tested ; Elevated for additional ventilation ; Extended front panel for additional ventilation

Front USB Type-C port would be nice as well ; Quite a few apps pre-installed that are not needed ; Not every configuration currently available ; HyperX FURY memory doesn't sync with the rest of the RGB lighting

Powerful components ; Excellent performance ; Runs quietly ; Striking design

Expensive, confusing configurations ; Needless software and accessories

The Corsair Vengeance i7200 is arguably a more powerful machine in the same general price range, and that's also quite a pretty machine. But the Vengeance is also slightly larger and bulkier, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to save a little...

Top-end specs ; Good expandability ; Highly configurable ; Better design than the older iterations ; Good overclocking facilities

Higher variants can get pricey ; Pre-installed bloatware can get annoying ; Not always available ; Cooling can be an issue ; Can get noisy under workload

Improved, attractive design ; Powerful, name-brand components

Bloatware tried to make me use Bing ; Cooling needs improvement for 10900K ; Persistent stock issues (just like the competition)

HP’s Omen 30L looks good and is a capable high-end gamer in our configuration with an RTX 3080. But you’ll want to set aside time to remove bloatware. And given the limited cooling, you should probably opt for something less than the 10900K CPU in our...

Fast, rgb is good, pretty much turn on and go style set up

Fans are not good cpu hits close to 90degrees quite easily, hoping to upgrade the airflow soon, Top USB ports are terrible you can’t actually fit a usb into one of the 2 and it’s a force exercise to get something in the other

Good spec, looks smart

Great price for what you get Plays all the games at 4K Ultra Can’t fault it really
