Performance scores
A 2019 OMEN with a green sheet and a gray horizon
The HP OMEN 15-dc1057nr (2019) prices at $676 against a $749.56 gaming median — below typical, budget-friendly. The configuration: a six-core i7 9750H, a GTX 1650 with 4GB, and 64GB of RAM. The measured weakness is reliability: an index of 30 against a 53 median, a 43.4% shortfall in the low band — the reading that frames an otherwise verified machine.
The sheet stays green; the memory over-delivers
The capability flags clear the tested set: Overwatch, Grand Theft Auto V, and Rainbow Six Siege at recommended, with Adobe Photoshop and Visual Studio Code passing at minimum. The 64GB ceiling — at the class median — over-delivers for the machine's generation: this is a 2019 body with the memory of a 2023 flagship configuration, which keeps the platform comfortable well beyond its birth year. The graphics score of 53.31 sits 32.1% below the shelf median, the standard placing for the budget card of its era.
The honest flags: odds, and the era
Reliability 30 is the low-band reading that sets expectations: a seven-year-old chassis priced as a capability-now purchase, not a service-decade one. Mobility of 23 against a 29 median is a class-typical mild shortfall. The corridor comparison is friendly to this seat: the ZBook Create G7 at $736.78 and the Dell G7 7790 at $712.20 price above it, while the XPS 7590 at $590.49 and the IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IHU6 at $603.76 price below — this listing holds the middle with the memory ceiling as its differentiator.
Depreciation: the veteran's flat curve
From a $1,800 anchor to $676 is an 11.29% annualized decline, projecting to $532 in two years — a further 21.31%, roughly $144 of exposure. The steep years are behind this machine; the remaining curve is the shallow tail typical of hardware that has found its level.
Against its neighbors
Above it: the ZBook Create G7 at $736.78 and the Dell G7 7790 at $712.20. Below it: the Dell XPS 7590 at $590.49 and the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IHU6 at $603.76. The corridor prices era and memory; this seat is its memory-rich midpoint.
Bottom line
A budget-friendly pick with a verified recommended-tier sheet and a flagship-grade memory ceiling for its generation — discounted honestly for low-band reliability odds. Buy it for what the flags confirm at a below-median price; buy the years separately, because this listing does not sell them.
