USE COUPON: SMBHOL10
I think it's the best option so far with the combination of the newest 8 core Ryzen 7 and an RTX 2060.
It's the perfect base to upgrade the RAM and SSD yourself for much cheaper than on the retailers' stores, to make it one of the most powerful laptops for the best price possible.

The laptop itself is around 4 lb 10.3 oz, I'd say still light for a 15 incher
Who doesn't bring their charger with them
Sure if you don't want to change anything, this won't do, but if like me you look for a laptop with 32GB and 2TB of SSD (or even 1TB), these options are at outrageous prices usually, because the retailers gouge you for anything above 8-16GB RAM and 256-512GB SSD.
Here you have the smallest amount possible: 8GB RAM+256GB SSD, so you know you haven't lost money if like me you know you are going to upgrade. For instance any laptops with 16GB+512GB SSD are useless in that case, and usually more expensive.
In addition to that, the HP OMEN are apparently decently well built.

There are a few on YouTube. I think Hardware Unboxed did one as well as Jarrod's Tech. The problem supposedly is too few vents under the laptop, this was done to pull air across all components.
I think there are plenty of people like me that purchased numerous laptops to see what is the best deal and then return the rest. I still don't know what the deal is with toilet paper but I buy some because it is getting scarce again.
The return period is until mid-January, so there is plenty of time to return. Also I live in a small city so the lines aren't bad.
