HP OMEN 25L review: specs, options & used prices

What this machine is

The HP OMEN 25L is a gaming desktop from 2020, and on the used market it is one of the straightforward ways to get a complete, serviceable computer for a modest sum.

Gaming desktops are defined by their graphics card first and everything else second — which is exactly what varies most between used listings of the same model line.

Across 8 tracked listings, the median asking price is $503.

Configurations you will actually see

Configurations we track pair the OMEN 25L with the Core i5-10400, Core i7-10700 and Ryzen 7 3700X. These are 10th-generation Intel Core parts. From the 8th generation on, these generally meet Windows 11 requirements.

Memory options run from 8 GB to 16 GB (8 GB, 16 GB). 8 GB is workable for one person; 16 GB is the comfortable setting for typical office and home use.

Solid-state storage options include 256GB SSD, 477GB SSD and 512GB SSD.

Drive options without a clear type in the listing (1TB) should be verified with the seller.

Gaming use

On a gaming desktop the graphics card is the machine, and used listings of the OMEN 25L vary widely in exactly that component. The configuration options we track cover CPU, memory and storage only — verify the exact GPU and its VRAM in each listing before comparing prices.

Who it fits

It fits 1080p-class gaming at used prices, where verifying the exact GPU in the listing matters more than for office machines.

Full specifications, current options and tracked prices live on its spec sheet; the desktop catalog and the HP desktops page help place it among the alternatives.

Verdict

Judged as a tool rather than a toy, the OMEN 25L holds a clear niche at the sensible end of the used market.

Buy it when you need a cheap, repairable machine for its class of work, and verify the configuration before paying — RAM and storage vary widely between listings. Tracked prices span $400 to $700, and most of that spread is configuration, not condition.

Our composite LB Score currently sits at 20/100 — a score that mostly reflects the platform age — use it to compare like with like, not against modern hardware.
