More glorious Black Friday treats as the price of this uber-powerful RTX 5080-powered gaming laptop from HP shaves $1450 off the launch price of the HP OMEN Max 16, now only $1849.99. This gaming powerhouse uses Nvidia's latest 50-series graphics cards, but not just any GPU; it uses the high-end RTX 5080 with that all-important 16GB of speedy GDDR7 VRAM. An ever-growing essential requirement for high-end gaming, as more and more games chew through VRAM capacity for shader and texture pre-loading.

In our testing of the HP OMEN Max 16, we found the gaming laptop extremely competitive with the competition in our suite of test games when using similar configurations. It came top in some of the games tested, and this shows in our charts below. It's worth noting that our review sample used almost identical components, bar a more powerful RTX 5090 GPU. Our test results were also compared to other laptops sporting the RTX 5090 and similar configurations to keep results fair.
