First, I should mention that I haven't bought a new laptop since 2007 when I went back to college for my master's and bought a Dell Inspiron E1405, which I've been using ever since. It actually still works decent enough for basic Web browsing, email, and my embroidery machine software, but with maxed out RAM of 2GB, an outdated Pentium, & a 140 GB hard drive... it's a bit pathetic, even with the new keyboard I installed last year.
I've been hoping to get a new laptop for a couple of years now, but couldn't find an affordable set-up that I liked until I came across the HP Omen line. I wanted a backlit keyboard, but I didn't care much for the red so I hesitated especially since they're geared for 'gamers', which I am not (I couldn't tell which models could adjust the colors in my price point). Then, I saw the models with the RGB keyboard and that really peaked my interest.
I'm not a 'gamer' but I really like the features of this 15-dc0030nr...it has everything I was looking for in a laptop (decent processor & RAM, 1TB HDD size, nice sound, nice NVIDIA graphics (the 6GB is three times the size of the Gigabyte GT 1030 on my main PC), backlit keyboard, easy to upgrade, affordable price, etc.). I also saw several reviews by people who aren't into gaming either and really like this PC.
After reading all the reviews here on Amazon and watching several YT videos for a few weeks, I made my decision...
...My OMEN (15-dc0030nr) 15.6 Inch Laptop, i7-8750H Processor, GeForce GTX 1060, Anti-Glare FHD Display,16GB 2666MHZ RAM, 1TB HDD & 128GB PCIE SSD arrived today and so far I'm loving it, but given what I've been using the last 12 years, I am probably pretty easy to please at this point(?) LOL !
I had it all set up in a matter of minutes of receiving it...& just for kicks, I even downloaded the free Amazon Nvidia Promo, Fortnite Bundle (Not very good at playing it yet though)....and while there in the Epic Games site, I saw that 'You Don't Know Jack' is free right now, so I added that too (I love that game...I still have the CDs from when it original came out years ago!).
I don't care too much for the 128GB SSD being the "main" hard drive, especially that Windows was installed there, but I'll probably change that in the future to a 512GB. But, for now, it's fine...I'm installing whatever I can to the 1TB drive instead (programs, downloads, docs, etc) & I ordered an HP Omen Reactor mouse (found it at a greatly reduced price), in addition to an LG external DVD drive...via Amazon Warehouse Deals).
Anyway, so far, I'm enjoying this laptop/notebook so much, especially the RGB keys! So nice that the colors can be customized, but I'm really liking the default - orange, purple, blue...I changed the W,A,S,D to match the orange around them since I don't need them to stand out any more than the outline.
Other than Epic's Fortnite Battle Royale, the only thing I've uninstalled so far is McAfee since I already have a paid subscription for Norton Security (10 devices) and I also get McAfee for free anyway via AOL, so if I change my mind in the future & decide to use it I can. As I use this laptop, there will likely be other things I'll uninstall.
Lastly, even though I doubt I'll be heating this up too much (I currently have the Omen Command Center setting at 'Comfort', unless I'm in Fortnite Battle Royale which I sent to 'Default' or 'Performance') I have it up on a Logitech Alto Connect laptop stand right now that allows for a lot of ventilation under the laptop (the stand is black, in the shape of an 'X' and has a USB 4 port hub...I've used it for years with my Inspiron. I don't use the USB ports in the stand since it's 1.0).
