The lenovo deal is gone now though.. did you buy it and think of returning for this ?
The Omen positives over the Aegis:
- Was $200 cheaper
- Better graphics card, 6600 XT vs. 6600
- 1TB SSD vs. 512 GB
Aegis positives over the Omen:- EDIT: I forgot, 5700G vs. 5600G
- 2TB HD vs. no separate hard drive
- Wifi 6 vs. Wifi 5
- MSI keyboard and mouse are nicer than HP bundled peripherals
- Nicer CPU fan
They each have their own branded RGB lighting controller/scheme/software, if that matters to you.The Omen has a very nice case, with a single push button on the back to remove the tempered glass side cover. It has two toolless racks positioned behind the faceplate to install 3.5" hard drives (which now both hold 2TB WD Enterprise Black HDs that I had laying around), and they are both prewired with power and data cables. The cabling inside the case is very well managed, and as hidden as it can be.
As far as peripherals, those didn't matter to me, since the PC is connected to the TV in the living room, so we use a wireless Razer mouse and wireless no-name mechanical keyboard.
Sorry for going on about this, but I had been playing the waiting game because "Hold, hold! Graphics card prices are coming down!", but I gotta say again, I feel the Omen was a much more front page worthy deal. And I feel there are going to be many more like that one, since we are heading into the holiday season. If you need a computer now, I guess this is an okay deal, but if you can wait, I don't feel that this is such a great buy that you won't find something better and cheaper.
Yes, I am aware that a time machine would be required to hop on the Omen deal, but I think there will be comparable deals moving forward.

The Omen is going to be used mostly for Dead By Daylight, The Quarry, hidden object casual games, and also to drive the WMR headset I got with the Dell deal. I have Forza Horizon 3, and it looks AMAZING in 1080p on the Omen. My daughter thought I was watching actual cars racing. The 6600XT is honestly a better card than I thought it would be.

At the moment, in terms of just raw performance (i.e. not caring about ray tracing), I'm usually seeing better deals on AMD's cards.
