The overall package is pretty convincing, despite the mentioned drawbacks. The performance is very good, and the device was designed for gamers, which is supported by our test results. Intel's fast Core i7-6700HQ provides sufficient performance for all applications, and even demanding games can be played in FHD (sometimes even 4K) thanks to Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1070. The price is also appealing at 1800 Euros (~$2007). Comparable devices from the competition are often priced between 2000-2500 Euros (~$2230-$2787), so the Omen series from HP should definitely be on your short list.
