The HP Early Black Friday Sale Starts Now: The Best Deals on Omen Gaming Laptops & PCs

HP is offering an HP Omen 45L gaming PC equipped with an Intel Core i7-14700K Raptor Lake CPU, GeForce RTX 4080 Super GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD for only $1,999.99 after an $800 off instant savings and additional $200 off coupon code "CPCGAME200".

The 4080 Super is a second generation card that supersedes the RTX 4080. It's Nvidia's second most powerful card and a superior GPU to AMD's Radeon RX 7900 RTX if you factor in DLSS and ray tracing performance. In our RTX 4080 Super review, Jackie Thomas writes, "If you're in the market for a 4K graphics card around $1,000, it's hard to think of any GPU that's a better purchase right now. This is the RTX 4080 that should have launched in 2022."

HP is offering an HP Omen 45L gaming PC equipped with an Intel Core i9-13900K Raptor Lake CPU, GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and dual storage (1TB SSD and 1TB HDD) for $2,999.99 after a $400 off instant savings. Unfortunately, this is the only system in this roundup that isn't eligible for either of the coupon codes.

The RTX 4090 is the most powerful GPU on the market. In his RTX 4090 review, Chris Coke writes, "The RTX 4090 may be huge and expensive, but holy smokes if it doesn’t blow the competition out of the water... Until the rest of the pack can catch up, between its impressive hardware specs and its DLSS 3 AI wizardry, even the $1,599 price doesn’t seem unreasonable for the unrivaled frame rates that this card can crank out."

HP OMEN 35L Gaming PCs

New for 2024, HP touts the Omen 35 as its "first gaming desktop designed with Omen components". What that essentially means is that many of the parts that were originally sourced elsewhere are now designed in-house by HP. That includes the power supply unit, the case fans, and the cooling system. The OMEN 35L itself is a good looking, mid-tower chassis with a sensible airflow design; two large 140mm fans bring air in from the front and a rear 120mm fan exhausts it out the rear. Some of the higher end models are also equipped with a 240mm liquid cooler that exhaust air out the top. Overall this looks like a promising redesign that prioritizes cooling and ease-of-use.

The RTX 4060 Ti video card is a very good option for 1080p gaming at high frame rates. It's also the minimum Nvidia GPU we'd recommend for 1440p gaming, although you'll see noticeable gains by jumping to an RTX 4070.

The RTX 4070 Super is the best graphics card for most people, especially for gaming at resolutions of 1440p or lower. The RTX 4070 Super is a second generation GPU that's about 10-15% faster than the original RTX 4070 at 1440p according to our RTX 4070 Super review. Jacqueline Thomas wrote that "the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super is the graphics card we should have got back when Nvidia first released its 4000-series cards. Performance is significantly improved over the original RTX 4070, along with more VRAM that should make the graphics card a little bit more future-proof. If you are in the market for a GPU and you have a budget, this is the best graphics card on the market for you."

The RTX 4070 Ti Super is a second gen RTX 40 series GPU; it's about 10% more powerful than the RTX 4070 Ti and 15-25% faster than the RTX 4070 Super. This is a great card for both 1440p and 4K gaming. The VRAM count is upped to 16GB compared the the RTX 4070 Ti's 12GB, which means it has the same amount of VRAM as the RTX 4080 Super.

Not all laptop GPUs are the same, even if they share the same name.

There are two important tidbits concerning graphics cards found in laptops. First, mobile GPU variants are not as powerful as their desktop counterparts. For example, a mobile RTX 4060 doesn't perform as well as a desktop RTX 4060. The mobile versions are generally about one to two tiers lower in performance. Using the same example, the mobile RTX 4060 performs more similarly to a desktop RTX 4050.

Second, not all laptops feature the same performance out of the same GPU. For example, the RTX 4060 found in the HP Omen is generally more powerful than the RTX 4060 found in the HP Omen Transcend. To make things even more complicated, the same laptop model can be equipped with GPUs of varying TGP ratings. For example, the Omen Transcend "u1xxx" has a better performing RTX 4060 GPU than the one found in the Omen Transcend "fb0xxx". Very confusing! In order to roughly tell how good a GPU will be, you can look at the TGP rating. That's basically the amount of power supplied to the GPU. A higher TGP rating means more power will be delivered, equating to stronger performance, however the wattage consumption and heat generated will be higher. Here are the maximum TGP rates for the RTX 40 series graphics cards:

• Mobile RTX 4050: 115W
• Mobile RTX 4060: 115W
• Mobile RTX 4070: 115W
• Mobile RTX 4080: 150W
• Mobile RTX 4090: 150W

Should you wait for Black Friday?

In most cases, we would say that Black Friday has the best deals of the year. It probably won't hurt to wait around and see if HP drops prices further, however HP coupon codes are very rare nowadays (this is the first time we've seen coupons that work on gaming systems this year) and I don't know when they'll expire.
