HP OMEN 15-ek1992nd

Pros Very powerful laptop with 16 threads and an RTX 3060 6GB ensure top performance during Metro Exodus. Also for 3D rendering it is a powerhouse that I will use in my render farm. Negatives The first half hour after I started the laptop it crashed. After some research it appears that the bios needed an update, so far no crashes. This is of course not a nice way to start with this laptop. The build quality is fine, but the fact that the screen is flexible is disturbing to me. The laptop can also blow quite hard in idle without actively running applications, which may also be related to windows. Personally, I'm used to a higher frequency RGB lighting that does its thing smoothly, but that's a small detail. HP has had to make clear choices between quality and performance, if you don't mind these negatives, this is a good choice.

For a gaming laptop I am certainly not dissatisfied, I can play all the games I want on it at least 60fps and you can upgrade it to Windows 11 without any problems (but whether you would like that at the moment is still the question if we talking about gaming). Unfortunately you will constantly be listening to blowing, perhaps that is less if you place the laptop so that it has breathing room at the bottom. Considering the built-in speakers are nothing to write home about... a headset is recommended. I see some reviews in which the build quality of the screen is mentioned as a downside... I can't agree with that. I think the build quality is very solid and that is not too bad considering the screen is quite thin. The color depth of the screen is beautiful, even better than the monitor I bought new for this setup. One thing I really don't get is the power button... which sits between the F12 and delete buttons and just above the backspace. Quite a place where you can easily tap it by accident. Anyway, you will have to connect a mechanical keyboard anyway. Fortunately, the laptop has 3 USB ports, so that's all possible (mouse, keyboard, controller). If you need more, it may be worthwhile to purchase a bluetooth set so that the mouse and tobo can be connected via 1 USB port. All in all if you use this as a replacement for a desktop and so mainly leave the laptop in your gaming corner with the adapter (you really shouldn't want to play on a laptop on the battery regardless of which model you have) then I can do this recommend a laptop. But if you want to play games where the blowing might disturb other people... you might want to pick a different laptop.
