Here's a comprehensive review from Jarrod'sTech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J80WhZT
Keep in mind, that review is for a model with a Ryzen AI 7 350, an 8-core model using Zen 5 cores, so this model's R9 8940HX is not apples-to-apples comparable due to being 16 core, Zen 4. Also, the battery in Jarrod's review is an 83Wh vs the smaller 70Wh in this laptop. Also, Jarrod's laptop has the improved 400 nits screen. This deal is for the lowest-tier 300 nits screen.
The CPU however, is quite a mobile powerhouse with 16 cores, 32 threads. I'm impressed it's inside an $800 laptop. It's a very new CPU, only launched in 4/23/25. Looks to be a 7940HX Zen 4 rebadge, but it's still a beast. It's not perfect for gaming, being more ideal for CPU-heavy tasks, but it should be capable in just about everything you throw its way.
The RTX 5060 Mobile's 8GB VRAM is disappointing, but so is the 8GB VRAM on the 5070 Mobile. We're definitely at a point where 8GB VRAM isn't enough maxed out games, even at 1080p. HP's implementation of the RTX 5060 seems to be very good with no TDP-limitations, letting it actually run faster than more expensive laptop's 5070's. Watch that review above for details.
The overall package it very reasonable for $800-$900.
FYI, there are 2x PCIe/ NVMe slots, and both RAM slots are user-replaceable.

And if you do some quick search, someone finds the 2nd ssd slot to be 2230 size.
https://www.reddit.com/r/HPOmen/c...d_upgrade/
This angry man's review also confirmed the 2nd ssd slot in 2230 size (8:26)

I did a lot of research on these HP Omen and Victus model, and decided to buy none of them (e.g., the Victus with 4050 has only 1 ssd slot, OMEN 2023 and 2024 models have black screen issues due to a bad fuse for the lid opener circuit).
It says
- May be missing parts, accessories, or packaging.
So not really sure where it draws the line, i wouldnt care for anything elseJoin The Conversation
