Except all those videos tearing down off the shelf prebuilts gamers Nexus was doing were from like a year or two ago. I don’t remember an Omen specifically being done but nearly every off the shelf PC they did had some serious issues.
"Serious issues"
Steve is a godsend, but he freaks out about glue, FFS. This chicken littling about prebuilts needs a walker. Steve has gone out of his way to praise Skytech and Maingear, for example. There are always exceptions, even among the more reliable brands, but disparaging all prebuilts based on their worst examples is no different than someone who warned curious gamers off building simply because there remains poorly constructed PSUs and cases available to buy. The market isn't defined by its worst face.
And this is where you break down into silly tap dancing instead of just admitting maybe you were wrong."Serious issues"
In the specific post I quoted he was merely asking if there was good deals on gaming computers that would yield 60fps on newish games. Framerates vary drastically depending on the game. The 1660 Super is still presently recommended as the entry point for budget 1080p gaming across numerous respected websites, as it remains a decent card, and I cited that prebuilt to give an example of a starting point. After all, he never specified that he was on a 9th Gen flagship console (PS5 or Xbox Series X). The discussion hadn't progressed to that point.
Says the guy who asserted prebuilds have, and I'm quoting directly, "shitty motherboards, shitty power supplies, poorly constructed cases, cheap fans, etc. pretty much any part that isn’t listed on the box is likely to be something poor in quality."
I did say that and I do know what I’m talking about. I mean the videos exist to prove it. Worse, I think you know better too but don’t want to look wrong on your little corner of the internet.
Except they don't. By all means, take the bestseller gaming PC prebuilts from Best Buy or Amazon. Better yet, take those HP Omens I linked. Enumerate those which have shitty motherboards, power supplies, cases, cheap fans, and every other part not listed on the box. Explain what makes them "shitty".
So you're not going to substantiate your claim? The burden is on you, not me, to do this. You're the one who has asserted those computers have shit parts. I've repudiated this, and challenged you to substantiate that claim. Are you incapable of completing this simple task? Because I sincerely suspect that you are. I think you need your hand held. I don't think you possess the knowledge or the ability to critically evaluate specific prebuilts yourself. I don't think you ever have, and that's why you're blathering this ignorance. If you can't Google a YouTube video to regurgitate, then you're helplessly lost. That's why you negatively blanket the whole market of prebuilts based on an individual model's review irrelevant to almost all of that market. After all, there are positive reviews of prebuilts by Gamers Nexus, so an individual review means little in and of itself.
This is just pathetic. I don’t know if you noticed but I already headed off your predictable spin attempt. When have you personally put hands on one of these computers? Because if you haven’t then you have no way of knowing if it does it does not share similar issues. And there are plenty of them, and it’s not just glue.
Funny, I would have classified "spin" as attempting to portray me as cherry-picking the Omen series when I shared those links long before you came in to regurgitate your ignorance typical of the greenest forumgoers on Reddit, for example.
You’re dodging pretty hard. You need help finding the info? You gave shit advice. Own it for once or look stupid, your choice

You really stepped into it this time, didn't you? You can't even specify the parts in the HP Omens. If Best Buy doesn't list them, you're as helpless as a baby. I could make them up, and you wouldn't know the difference, LOL. You're so lost you're attempting to disparage them by proxy of the HP Pavilions which is as retarded as forwarding analysis of a Dell XPS laptop by citing a Dell Inspiron review.
Alright bozo I'm going to restate this one more time and you are going to answer it or we are done her. If HP is willing to market a $1400 computer and slap it together with cheap parts and poor quality control, why do you think they wouldn't do the same thing with a $600 computer? Because they branded it differently is not an answer that cuts mustard here. Before you sputter more silly shit out, GN bought it specifically because it was being marketed to gamers.
LOL, a wall-o-crying, and yet you can't produce the parts. Can't tell us anything about a motherboard because "it doesn't have reviews" to guide you. Because you don't actually understand anything about hardware or component construction. You need your hand held, and are only useful if you can regurgitate someone with actual knowledge.
Avoid advice from people who advise against prebuilts because they have "shitty parts" when those people don't even possess the capability to produce the parts in the prebuilts they're disparaging.
Isn't that the whole point though? Someone who buys a prebuild because they're still somehow intimidated of building in this day and age probably shouldn't be doing things like removing the heatsink from a GPU.
