Aurora R10 (original version) vs HP Omen 30L

sorry Dell, the HP Omen 30L that has same Ryzen 5 3000 series has a much more elegant chassis design than R10 (same chassis as R9,11,12).  just my opinion although i am a mostly Dell guy and used to really dislike HP, but in this case you could potenitally learn a bit from your competitor's aesthetic taste.

Aesthetic taste is in the eyes of the bewildered . . .

R16 looks a bit like Omen.

If AW still uses clear acrylic window ( to allow honeycomb fenestration ) while Omen has tempered glass.

@ProfessorW00d​ Are you seeing what I am seeing? It's interesting if that is a retail picture. I would pass based on what I am seeing...

I have to admit that a pc's build quality is hard to assess without seeing and touching the chassis in real.  The Omen has a premium build quality, not that it uses thick material, but it feels hand made almost.  I would say it is like coming out of Vatican.  I have not had a chance to look at a R10 in person but based on my hands one experience with a R7 skeleton which Dell reuses in AW with a different plastic shell, I am disappointed.

@redxps630​   This is the XPS 8930 chassis which is quite similar to the Aurora series chassis and I found it to be adequately sturdy after manhandling it for a while. Of course it is much more sturdy painted black!!

@ProfessorW00d​ Take a closer look at the video card. I noticed it right away.

@Vanadiel​    Pascal Architecture . . . years behind Turing, Ampere, and Ada Lovelace!

30L comes with GTX 1660S

The GeForce GTX 1660 Super graphics card  is based on the Turing architecture.

@ProfessorW00d​ No, you are missing it. Look at the power connector of the video card. Looks like a 2 plug card, but only 1 power connector is being used as the other one is not connected.

So it either will not boot, or they power limited the card so it works with a single connector.

So it's missing some power.....it won't notice as it's a cursed HP anyway.

Maybe it just melted?
