Seems pretty nice but I'm no expert. Just ordered the 5pro and 7 because of sales. Seems like they're dropping everywhere

Compared to the legion 7?

I think the big difference is the screen on the legion 7 blows this away. If you're using an external monitor not a big deal. Also, isn't this more in line with the 3070 gpu not a 3080?

Here's a video comparison, skip to 8:35 for the chart breakdown, it generally beats the 3070 by a few to 20 fps in all but a few games that are more optimized for Nvidia architecture but does draw a bit more power

For this laptop, you must use the display port out on the back to bypass the internal graphics, the HDMI port still passes video through onboard graphics chip. Results in approx 15% framerate loss using the HDMI to an external monitor.

Surprised the HP OMEN 17 QHD for $1999 isn't getting more attention. 32GB Ram, 2TB SSD, 3070 Ti, 12th gen, is an all-round good buy.

Link? Not seeing that at Best Buy

NM.. over 8 lbs? forget that

Edit: since no link was provided I Googled HP Omen 17 and the first link took me to the Omen site with that weight, which is apparently not the latest.

Cuz it's too expensive and you could have got an Acer with that same configuration for less than 1600 a week or two ago

If you change the RAM kit with a faster 3200Mhz it came with, the GPU performance can be boosted up to compete closer to an RTX 3080 (laptop) version. I'm not a big fan of Linus, but here's a link to his findings. https://youtu.be/R7CO9v9rpOk. This is a great laptop for price to performance if compared to an RTX 3080 laptop.

So you want a 17" gaming laptop with 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD, appropriate cooling system, and a 80 Whr battery to be light as a feather? Got it. Read that again but slowly and realize how stupid that sounds.
Also, it's only just over 6 lbs which is 2 lbs less than your mentioned imaginary weight.
That weight is appropriate for a 17" gaming machine with that configuration.

You might want to go back and check that "same" configuration, I'm assuming you're talking about this deal. That nitro has 16GB of DDR4 RAM (The omen has 32GB of DDR5), 512GB SSD (which is a joke considering it's a gaming laptop; the omen has 2TB), only 60 Whr battery (Omen has 83 Whr!), and most importantly that was a 15.6" machine compared to the 17" which is Omen.
Just coz it has the same processor and GPU doesn't make it the "same" configuration. Better to have some knowledge before coming here to talk about stuff you clearly have no knowledge about.
For the given specs and considering it recently came out, the Omen 17 is perfectly priced with that discount for now.
