Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

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.

What’s to say? This laptop is a beast! The OLED screen is jaw dropping. Will play the most intensive games at least 100fps. BeamNG.drive will run smooth with 20 AI cars. The fans can be loud but nothing like a desktop. One of the things that sold me on this one over Lenovo’s equivalent is the 2TB drive. Picked it up when it went on sale $600 off. I love this beast. Battery life while gaming is low… maybe 30 mins. But I don’t use mine on battery much at all. Expandable too… you can add a second SSD and upgrade the RAM to 96GB.

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.

Amazing laptop! It runs all my programs smoothly! It gets a little loud when gaming. So using headphones is advised. As a laptop you will need to use charger if you want the best performance. Not the greatest battery though.

Crystal clear clarity with exceptional vibrant color display. Lightning fast functionality and smooth tactile response. Extreamly light weight sleek design. Complete entertainment.

I always hunt for a laptop which will have the highest TDP for atleast the GPU. This laptop is a direct competitor for the legion 7i pro. Anyway this has a great OLED screen, very easy to use tuning software by OMEN, form factor is already pretty great and its has a decent weight.

This machine is a beast, with a beautiful 240 hz OLED screen and trust me once you use a OLED panel its really difficult to go back. The RTX 5080 will give you 4090 laptop performance easily if not better and thats not including the titles with advance frame generation. CPU temps even under heavy load are good, and its not a macbook pro size laptop by any means BUT its a fairly “small” laptop for a gaming laptop anyway. The speakers are very good BUT not great. And then theres the keyboard, the RGB looks amazing but the look and soft touch isnt for everyone even if i personally love it. Internally theres 2 ram slots that are upgradable as well as a extra nvme slot. But the one con is the price, it’s expensive. But if you are okay with spending over 3 grand on a gaming desktop replacement you will not regret this machine.

Laptop runs great, thin enough and the OLED screen is amazing. Returned a 5070ti g14 for this and have no regrets. Able to hit 100+ fps in most games with dlss and MFG is pretty amazing as well. Trackpad could be better, but thats my only complaint. CPU temps can get to 100 but i havent had any performance issues.

Best of the best Excellent for gaming and work, it's the best on the market in terms of quality and price.

Best Buy purchase is working perfectly. I purchased from Best Buy after being ripped off from an Amazon seller, the same computer except with 32GB of RAM. I added an additional 2TB SSD I already had in the empty SSD slot and replaced the two 16GB DDR5’s with two 32GB DDR5’s as long as I had it open. Everything installed without a hitch and now I’ve maxed it out as I always do with my computers since I run multiple graphic intensive programs for digitizing simultaneously. I originally purchased the HP Omen computer except with 64GB of memory from Amazon and it was a ripoff! Windows didn’t work properly even after all updates were applied to 11. Just a few examples of Windows errors: Camera incompatible so no facial recognition; Touchpad incompatible so no fingerprint recognition; Keyboard lights didn’t work; Thunderbolt connections didn’t work; SSD empty second slot missing on motherboard. I’m very knowledgeable with computers & knew it was a clone, definitely not a comparable motherboard, camera, and more. . Nothing worked as it should. *I was only able to get a partial refund from this Amazon seller. I had to pay a 20% restocking fee and shipping! There was nothing I could do, but better than being out the entire amount I paid. I will never purchase any high priced item from Amazon again! I can’t say enough for Best Buy and the quality products they offer. I’m very happy with my purchase from Best Buy!

Absolute beast—OLED looks insane, runs everything!

I just bought it around 3 days ago and this thing is amazing i wish omen software were more simple but thats not relevant to the power and how beautifull this system is playing all my games Max and cooling looking really good , if you can afford it this is the 1 you want to buy trully amazing piece of hardware by HP Omen brand

Great pc. Very nice display. Super fast and good for gaming

It’s the best service ever, the laptop work so perfectly well also

Got another brand of gaming laptop first (more expensive and way more popular) it was a lot more slim and sleek design which compromised gaming. Crashing every a while on max setting or switching windows. Exchanged for this one perfect for me. The only thing is the keyboard design and touchpad are shxt but i mostly use external keyboard and mouse so not an issue for me but it might bother others

This laptop is smoking fast. Love it for games and cad/cam work!

Great gaming laptop, it works well and it looks good.

I have been loving this laptop until I found out that there are two bright patches at the bottom of the screen. It is obvious when I use dark mode. When i open browser or software with dark gray background it can be seen easily. I required a replacement and the other laptop came with the same issue. I’ve seen others posted their OMEN MAX OLED screen and they also havve this issue. You should really check your screen. I believe it is a product flaw.

Absolutely love this purchase. The cooling on this laptop is pretty good for it being a laptop and was very impressive. I still got the cooling pad that Razor offers to protect my investment but not totally necessary if you don’t plan on cranking the setting to max on every game. A couple games I played on max settings had this computer feel like it was playing solitaire. No struggle at all. The screen was something else too. For a laptop the screen looked better than the tv in my living room. The quality of graphic and power was better than most of my friends gaming desktops which was shocking again for a laptop. Multitasking on this machine is seam less. Creating videos to send to friends is super awesome. Con’s: My only cons I didn’t like was the amount of ads HP has that you have to manually shut off. Super annoying. Also the keyboard does not feel like a premium keyboard at all. I do recommend getting an external keyboard if you’re wanting a premium feeling keyboard. Not that big of a deal since people usually get external keyboards anyway. Also I wish the laptop had a thicker male end on the power cord. The part that goes into the laptop. If it’s not flush it won’t charge. Next is the hdmi out port only does 144hz from what I’m seeing on my 240hz monitor. You only see 240hz from the laptop itself. The amount of inputs was a slight turn off but the Razor cooling pad 100% fixed it. Really good investment if you’re buying this. Last thing I have is battery life. This is a gaming laptop. Don’t expect the battery life to last as long as your cellphone. Must be realistic.
