Professional reviewers praise the OMEN 45L for its industry-leading cooling via the CRYO CHAMBER, toolless upgradability, and ability to sustain 4K gaming performance with top-tier Intel and NVIDIA components. They also note the premium price, large power supply, and sizable chassis as trade-offs, especially compared with older models that drew high power consumption.
Everyday users consistently highlight the system's excellent thermal performance, quiet operation, and flexible storage options, while repeatedly mentioning the need to enable XMP for full RAM speed and the difficulty of moving the heavy, large chassis. Overall sentiment is positive for performance but tempered by setup complexity and bulk.
