Ahead of the official start of Amazon's Prime Day, HP has unveiled a significant deal on a top-tier gaming PC, the Omen 35L, priced at $2,800. This offering comes equipped with a powerful combination of an NVIDIA RTX 5080 graphics card and an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, positioning it as a compelling option in the current market, especially given the ongoing global memory shortage that has impacted component prices.
The HP Omen 35L configuration includes 32 GB of RAM and a 2 TB storage drive. The inclusion of the RTX 5080 and the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which is considered one of the best CPUs for gaming, makes this a particularly noteworthy deal. The RTX 5080 represents the second most powerful GPU in NVIDIA's lineup, surpassed only by the significantly more expensive RTX 5090.
The Omen 35L chassis itself has received positive reviews, with previous iterations of both older and newer generations being well-regarded. While this particular model is not the white variant, which some find more aesthetically pleasing, its internal specifications are a strong draw. The system is powered by a 1,000 W power supply, which should be adequate for the components. However, it features a 240 mm All-In-One (AIO) liquid cooler, and an upgrade to a 360 mm cooler might be beneficial for users who experience thermal throttling under heavy loads.
Comparisons with other high-end gaming PCs currently available suggest that this HP Omen 35L is priced competitively, with similar configurations often exceeding $3,000. The deal represents a strong entry point for those seeking a premium gaming experience without the absolute highest expenditure.
HP is offering a wider range of gaming PC deals on its official website.
