Purchased for video editing but not for gaming. I use Davinci Resolve for video editing and DR edits and renders much quicker with the right GPU and hardware. This configuration of the OMEN was a great value for the hardware specs it delivers. My only NIT is the sound of cooling fans. They are rather loud even when the CPU is idle. It's distracting when you are in the zone and focused on your work. I did add more memory and added an SSD to increase video editing performance when using proxy files. If I could fix the excessive fan noise during idle CPU time, it would be a 5 star.
