Due to the fact that my previous computer has been in service for six years, and I bought it after the college entrance examination, it has been with me throughout my youth. I used it to write papers and complete assignments during college.
However, recently it has been getting worse, mainly because there are some issues with the color gamut of the screen, which is causing a large area to appear white and is straining my eyes.
In addition, the graphics card configuration, etc., although it can still be used for the time being, is also a product from many years ago. The graphics card and CPU cannot meet my current needs (mainly because modern games require higher specifications). Taking everything into consideration, I decided to retire it. After careful consideration, I chose the HP Omen 7.
I planned to spend between 6000-7000 yuan, so I directly ruled out high-priced and low-configured office laptops. I mainly focused on gaming laptops. Don't be fooled by the name, in general, gaming laptops in the same price range have better performance than office laptops, which suits my requirements. Apart from being slightly larger and heavier, there are no other disadvantages.
After setting a budget, I started looking at brands. Since it is a laptop, it is more reliable to buy from well-known brands, as I can't guarantee the quality and after-sales service of products from smaller manufacturers. I paid attention to brands like HP, Lenovo, and Acer. Among them, the HP Omen, Lenovo Legion, and Acer Predator are all good choices in terms of cost performance. After much deliberation, I chose the HP Omen 7 with an RTX3050ti graphics card. I read some reviews from users on Zhihu and felt that they were all similar, so I placed the order. The most important thing is to try it out on the actual machine to see if it is suitable.
Specific configuration:
- Graphics card: RTX3050ti
- CPU: i7-11800H
- Memory: 16GB
- Solid State Drive: 512GB
- Display: 16.1-inch LED screen, 1920
The efficiency of JD.com is still very high. The computer arrived the next day, and I couldn't wait to open it.

After looking at this computer, I am very satisfied. I checked the appearance and found no issues, the screen is normal, and then I checked the verification code, everything is normal. I activated it after turning it on, and didn't encounter any problems. Charging is normal, keyboard input and touchpad are all working properly.
I opened Steam, downloaded CS, and the speed was fast and smooth. It can maintain a stable frame rate of over 380fps, and the gaming performance is very satisfactory. I will test it further by running code and rendering locally.
After using it for a while, I will leave a review on JD.com's after-sales service.
It has been many years since I last changed my computer. I already have one provided by my company for work, and my old computer can still be used, so I didn't have the idea of buying a new one. Now I feel that it's time to change, and it has been a very pleasant shopping experience.
I will temporarily set aside the old computer. I'm considering selling it or doing some DIY projects, but that's a story for another time. After all, I have some sentimental attachment to it and want to make the most of its remaining capabilities.
