    The king of laptops.

    This is the king right now of laptops, i coulsnt of been happier with the preformance. Any game i want, mods and everything, from hevaily modded MC with shaders to the max, arc survival ascended, or even star citizen all are playable on max setting with buttery smooth preformance! This thing is top .01% in preformance. The hardware is solid and the RBG goes great with everything. The 2k, OLED screen really stands out. The machine looks as beautiful as she runs. There is only one gripe about it and its the batter life, this bad boy needs the charger but its well worth it when its that much more portable than a desktop would be! But you need the power to run that 5080 rtx. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as i do. 9/10

    Amazing Laptop

    Had it for 2 weeks now. Amazing performance, although some issues with Optimus switching displays and slight lag when on battery power. Trying to find a workaround for this. But you can carry this beast gaming laptop anywhere, just bring the power box. When plugged in, it is desktop level performance. Get a laptop cooler to help the fans out. Happy purchase, no regrets.

    HP Omen Max - Chasing Gaming Perfection

    The HP Omen Max 16 with the Nvidia RTX 5080 is a near perfect gaming computer. Overall if you look at the entire Build, specs, value, and performance, it's the best gaming computer I've tested dating back about 10 years. The HP Omen Max doesn't get the fanfare that some of the other brands share, but those days are gone. The HP Omen Max 16 has thoughtfully designed an outstanding gaming machine. I looked at build quality, cooling, power, display, and benchmarks in my review and here are the results. Design/Build Quality: First of all, these are the standout features of the HP Omen Max 16 that set it apart from the rest of the competition. There is are inputs on the back center of the computer for HDMI, Ethernet, USB-A, and your power cable. This lessens the clutter on the left and right side of your computer for peripherals. The Lid and the base are made of aluminum to help with system cooling, but the keyboard deck is hard plastic which feels cooler to the toluch while you're gaming. There's a vapor chamber and liquid metal to maximize cooling. The OLED Display at 16:9 looks amazing and it has an ultra fast response rate and 240Hz refresh. Specs/Features CPU - Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX (3 nm, Arrow Lake), 24 Cores (8 P-Cores, 16 E-Cores), TDP is 55 Watts. The Max Temp is 105 C. GPU - Nvidia RTX 5080, 16GB GDDR7 SDRAM (Samsung), 256-bit Memory - 32GB DDR5-5600 SDRAM (2 Banks of 16GB) SK Hynix SSD - 2 TB NVME SSD Western Digital PC SN810 WiFi - Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE200 320MHz Display - 16" OLED 2560x1600, 240Hz refresh Touchpad - Hard plastic, very responsive but not glass like most premium models. Keyboard - I didn't like the keyboard for typing. There's no space in between keys and it has a soft rubbery feel. It's fine for gaming but I like to use my keyboard for more than gaming. Fan Cleaner - Fans spin in reverse to blow out dust. This is a great idea. Advanced Performance Tuning - Allows you to overclock your CPU & GPU to max out performance. HP gives you complete control over CPU & GPU power as well as your fans Software - The Omen 16 Max is free of any excessive bloatware. The Omen Gaming Hub software is your command station to monitor your system and performance. You can setup your per-key RGB, but it also has a few gadgets you can use such as a Cam & Voice enhancer. I find the Omen Software a little slow to start up, but very comprehensive. There's even a shortcut key in the top right of the keyboard. You can setup profiles to choose what kind of power draw you want whether it's browsing the web, gaming, or conserving battery in eco mode. Performance - Once thing you have to consider is there's a trade-off when cooling a gaming laptop. You can lessen the power and get cooler temps, or you can go full power and run a little hotter. More power = Higher Temps. HP decided to go full power with a vapor chamber and liquid metal to get every frame possible. You do have options in the Omen Gaming Hub: Eco, Balanced, Performance, and Unleashed (Manual Settings) if you want to dictate cooling. I setup my own profile for gaming under unleashed where I set the CPU power and a dynamic fan curve. The Omen Max 16's RTX 5080 performed great at High & Ultra settings. I didn't test it with frame generation but it's available if you want to boost your FPS. CPU Temps usually settled in the 80's but peaked in the mid 90's. The GPU temp was typically low to mid 70's but did peak in the 80s when stressed. Here are a few games I tested: Assassin's Creed Mirage - 146 average fps Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - 138 average fps CyberPunk 2077 - 127 average fps Assasin's Creed Valhalla - 152 average fps The benchmarks were exceptional. I expected it with top-tier hardware and HP did a great job with the cooling design. GeekBench: 2851 CPU Single-Core, 18899 CPU Multi-Core, 196644 GPU OpenCL Score Cinebench 2024: 1750 Multi-Core Speed Way: 5831 Steel Nomad: 5263 Time Spy: 21275 - Pros/Cons - *Pros* - Beautiful OLED with ultra fast response time - Full keyboard including 10-key number pad - Per Key RGB - Full Power RTX 5080 (175W TGP) - Vapor Chamber cooling and liquid metal paste for CPU/GPU - Inputs in the back - Excellent Benchmarks - *Suggestions/Needs Improvement* - Keyboard has no spacing and difficult to type on - Plastic Tracking Pad This laptop really surprised me. I think it's arguably the best value for an RTX 5080 gaming laptop and it's nice that you can tune it exactly as you see fit through the Omen gaming hub. Overall, I feel like HP really nailed it with their design and performance. I highly recommend it.
