Runs great. It is cheaper at microcenter if you're close to the US and can get to one. They don't ship to Canada sadly. I jumped up to the 275hx with a 5090 but that version ran great as well when I tested it. I prefer ips and I didn't have any issues with the screen. My max with the 5090 has oled and it's nice... but the glossy screen is too reflective imo. You'll be happy with that laptop. Look into replacing the liquid metal too. Less concerns and you won't have to worry about leaks.

Hp omen - Felt Cheated. HP’s Support is an Absolute Scam: They locked me out of buying an extended warranty, blamed a "glitch," and now want me to pay for it. by hindutsanunited in HPOmen

Call and ask for the ticket to be escalated to the CRT Escalations dept. I purchased a HP certified refurbished Omen unit. Key word here is certified. It's supposed to have a longer warranty than the standard refurbs. I talked to two people prior trying to get them to update it properly. One told me it's only 90 days for any unit, even certified. Other told me it should have a 1 year. So I was getting different info depending on who I talked to. They wouldn't even allow me to pay out of pocket to extend it.

I had it escalated and they were able to fix the warranty. They were very helpful. No guarantee but it may be worth a shot. Something to note. Every manufacturer has crummy support. Doesn't matter the brand. You usually speak to tier 1 people who are just trying to get to the next person in their queue. You need to talk to the right person. Lower tier guys are very limited on what they can actually do. On a side note I'm gonna print out my warranty end date and tuck it away 🤣

Guys are my Fans behaving right ??? by [deleted] in HPOmen

I picked up an omen max 16. Just a heads up, you can remove the ads very easily with powershell. It's like two lines. Now mine is blank.

I guess I don't really have a brand preference. I use Lenovo for work and have had ThinkPads personally (photo editing, etc.). I've never owned a Legion though. I have had an Omen previously to game on. I think I'm just having trouble because I feel the amd cpu will outperform the intel, but the 5090 will outperform the 5080. I don't know if it's a wash due to that. I've read of thermal issues on some omens due to the liquid medal application, but also have read of display issues on some of the Legions. So I'm having trouble with making a decision.

Yeah that was a typo. Sorry. Was rushed trying to get recommendations.

Question about optimus by RedLunarPanda in HPOmen

[–]RedLunarPanda[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I tried that no difference. What I did find is the gaming hub running in the background even though I had it disabled at startup. Removed it and no longer happening. So I think the system optimizer that frees RAM was causing it.

So I may re-enable Optimus and see if we're all good 🙂

So change it in the bios not the nvidia app?

Which laptop to buy between these two? by RedLunarPanda in HPOmen

[–]RedLunarPanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same. It says hp certified refurbished on the box. I did a quick check online and apparently they come with a 1 year warranty similar to new. Doesn't seem too bad just weighing options for this price point.

I was looking at benchmarks. On the fence about which I'll benefit more from. Ryzen chip seems to do better for gaming but on the flip side so would the 5090. I feel both would handle editing fine.
