Verdict — Loud And Proud
As a performance-first gaming laptop, the HyperX Omen Max 16 is all about maximizing output from the Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU and 175 W GeForce RTX 5090 GPU. In fact, when set to Unleased mode, graphics draw can indeed reach almost the full 175 W target whereas most other gaming laptops tend to hover around 140 W or lower. The G-Sync support, integrated numpad, and rigid base help to cement the model as *the* heavy hitter and premier performer rivaling other giants like the MSI Titan or Alienware Area-51.
Other surprises include the long battery life and quiet fan noise when running less demanding loads. For such a large system, it can be quite reserved when all that extra horsepower isn't needed.
The biggest and most notable drawback is size and weight. Not only is the system slightly thicker and heavier than last year's Omen Max 16, but even its AC adapter is chunkier than most. Running both the demanding CPU and GPU at their respective maximums requires quite the beefy power brick, after all. Meanwhile, the speakers are weaker than expected and aren't punchy enough to overcome the loud 55+ dB(A) fans when gaming.
Pros
+ upgradeable 2x SODIMM + 2x M.2 2280 SSDs
+ good battery life on iGPU mode
+ true 175 W TGP performance
+ good automatic fan control
+ QHD+ OLED with G-Sync
Cons
- noisy on Performance mode
- relatively weak speakers
- bulky 460 W AC adapter
- no Advanced Optimus
- large and heavy

The HyperX Omen Max 16 is HP's premier 16-inch gaming laptop with top-of-the-line specifications. It's both a tier above the HyperX Omen 16 and a direct successor to last year's Omen Max 16 powered by the older Arrow Lake Core Ultra 9 275HX. HP is in the process of rebranding its Omen lineup with the HyperX name as announced earlier this year at CES.
Our test unit comes equipped with the Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU, 175 W GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, and 2.5K 240 Hz OLED display for approximately $4200. Lesser SKUs may ship with the RTX 5080 instead.
Competitors include other enthusiast-level gaming laptops like the Asus ROG Scar series, MSI Raider or Titan series, or the Dell Alienware 16 series.

Case
The new design is slightly thicker and heavier than the outgoing 2025 model for a very densely packed feel. However, the taut and unyielding surfaces give a better sense of longevity than the typical ultrathin gaming models including HP's own Omen Transcend 16 series.

Sustainability
Much like on the standard Omen 16, the keyboard keycaps consist of post-consumer recycled plastics with no mention of other parts or recycled amounts. The packaging uses a bit of plastic for the AC adapter wrapping.
Input Devices
Display
Whereas the OLED display on last year's Omen Max 16 would top at almost 600 nits on HDR mode, the display on our newer HyperX Omen 16 can reach almost 1100 nits to support HDR1100. The two Samsung panels are otherwise nearly identical from their QHD+ native resolution, 240 Hz refresh rate, and full P3 colors. G-Sync is supported only when set to discrete graphics mode.
Note that switching between discrete graphics, integrated graphics, or Advanced Optimus requires a system reboot.

Display Response Times
ℹ
Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.| ↔ Response Time Black to White | ||
|---|---|---|
| 0.39 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined | ↗ 0.19 ms rise |  |
| ↘ 0.2 ms fall | ||
| The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 0 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (19.7 ms). | ||

In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.13 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 0 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (30.7 ms). | ||
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 1439.8 Hz Amplitude: 29 % | ≤ 100 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 1439.8 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 1439.8 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 52 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 7605 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
