HP is running a spring sale all over the site on a lot of Omen gaming laptops and desktops this weekend. As an added incentive, HP is also offering up to a 10% extra discount on coupon-code systems over $ 1,399 10GAMER2022 and 5% discount with coupon code 5GAMER2022, which can be used at check-out.
One of the systems that stands out to us is an Omen 40L GT12 gaming desktop for only $ 1,234. This AMD-powered entry-level is reduced by $ 666 from its usual $ 1899 price point.
The Omen 40L GT21-0148z desktop includes an eight-core, 16-wire AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU supported by 16GB of RAM and a Radeon RX 6600XT. Out of the budget GPUs, we obviously prefer the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti over the Radeon RX 6600 XT, but that’s not a bad configuration at this price.
The combination of 1TB HDD and 512GB SSD is an exciting choice where you can use the SSD as a boot drive and the HDD to store all your extra stuff. However, since you are already saving a few hundred dollars, you may want to consider upgrading your SSD to at least 1 TB.
We are big fans of Omen’s sleek black cover designs. The side panel in tempered glass shows all the interior of the PC, and the two white fans on the front with the Omen diamond are a good look.
Omen 40L is a nice entry system that is quite easy to upgrade. Our advice is to take the few hundred dollars you save on sales and go for more storage. Then you have managed to get yourself a nice mid-range PC at a budget price.
Currently, the HP website has some issues with long loading times, but as far as we can see, you can still add things to your shopping cart and check if you have patience. If not, give it a few hours and try again.
