HP Omen 40L

Fantastic case design Relatively cool and quiet Easily serviceable and upgradable Affordably priced

Frustrating bloatware Lacking performance Not configured correctly out of the box

Despite a beautiful case and solid pricing, the Omen 40L misses the performance boat.

Reasonable price Generally quiet operation Toolless access to the internals Beautiful chassis

Optimized memory profile not applied out of the box (but easily remedied) Lacks front-panel USB-C port GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, as tested, not our favorite-value GPU (though other options available)

HP's Omen 40L comes in at a decent midrange price for such a luxe, quiet, and upgrade-friendly chassis. Our main quibbles are with a lack of USB-C on front, and with memory settings that could use tweaking out of the box.
