Get a HP Omen RTX 5090 desktop for under $2740 — the ultimate workstation for AI devs, creative pros, and STEM students heading back to school
Serious horsepower under the hood
For creative and AI workloads, this is the RTX 5090 PC to get in the sales, with the HP Omen 45L now $2740 (was $3230) at HP.
The savings are significant, but the real reason to buy this is the package itself: RTX 5090, Core Ultra 9 285K, HP’s patented Cryo Chamber cooling, and a system designed from the ground up to sustain flagship performance for years.
The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K is Intel’s current flagship desktop processor that makes a real difference in video production, 3D rendering, software compilation, and AI workloads. It even includes Intel’s NPU, qualifying the OMEN 45L as an AI PC for Windows 11 Copilot+ features.
Today's top computer deal
This is HP’s flagship desktop done properly. The Core Ultra 9 285K runs up to 5.7GHz across 24 cores, the RTX 5090 32GB GDDR7 is the fastest consumer GPU on the market, and HP’s patented Cryo Chamber keeps everything cool under sustained load without the noise of a poorly designed system. 32GB Kingston FURY DDR5-5600 RAM (upgradeable), 1TB NVMe SSD, Thunderbolt 4, 2.5GbE, Wi-Fi 6E, Windows 11 Home. The chassis has a built-in LCD display that you can customize with images and GIFs. Backed by HP’s warranty and support network.
The RTX 5090 desktop GPU in this machine is the full-fat desktop version — not the mobile variant found in laptops. With 32GB of GDDR7 memory and the complete GB202 die, it has meaningfully more CUDA cores and higher clock speeds than the laptop RTX 5090.
HP’s patented Cryo Chamber is the key differentiator in the 45L chassis. Unlike most pre-built towers that use a standard air cooler or a third-party AIO bolted onto a standard case, the Cryo Chamber is purpose-built for this chassis — it uses a dedicated cooling chamber that physically isolates the CPU and its heat management from the rest of the components. The result is consistent temperatures during sustained workloads without the fans having to ramp to uncomfortable levels. Multiple reviewers across the GT22 generation have specifically called out thermal management as a standout strength.
The built-in LCD display panel inside the chassis is a characterful touch. You can load it with custom images, GIFs, or system monitoring readouts, and it’s one of those details that HP has executed better than most — it feels like a premium extra rather than a gimmick. The overall chassis design is clean and understated compared to some more overtly aggressive gaming PC aesthetics, which makes it a better fit for a living room or shared space.
Connectivity covers the practical bases: Thunderbolt 4 at 40 Gbps on the rear, 2.5 GbE wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E wireless, and a front panel with USB Type-C and USB Type-A ports for quick peripheral access. One honest caveat from reviewers: this configuration ships with 1TB SSD, which is tight for a high-end gaming machine given modern game install sizes — adding a second NVMe drive early is a sensible first upgrade, though note that accessing the second M.2 slot requires removing the GPU.
Also consider
This is the pre-built for someone who wants to sit down and start the same day it arrives, without spending a weekend sourcing parts. It’s got the RTX 5070 — Nvidia’s latest generation GPU with 12GB of fast GDDR7 memory and DLSS 4 support — paired with a capable Intel Core i5-14400F, 32GB of DDR5-6000 RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The chassis has a dedicated RGB CPU air cooler and four-fan airflow system, an 80+ Gold certified PSU, Wi-Fi 6E, and Windows 11 Home pre-installed. All standard off-the-shelf components, so upgrading storage, RAM, or the GPU down the road is straightforward.
