HP OMEN MAX 16 (AH0555TX) Review
Source: Yugatech English
Overall, the HP Omen Max 16 is a great gaming laptop for the price of PHP 229,990. It’s not perfect; in fact, far from it. For starters, it’s not exactly the easiest to bring around. This specific variant of the Omen Max 16 also uses an IPS display only. The OLED version is a bit more expensive. But for the performance it offers, you get your money’s worth.Still, at this price point, you will have a lot of options at your disposal. More importantly, if you’re looking at this segment of gaming laptops, I’m sure you can easily stretch your budget by PHP 20,000 to PHP 40,000 more if you want a gaming laptop with an OLED panel or even a more powerful RTX 5090. But if you want to save a bit, you can’t go wrong with the HP Omen Max 16.

70% HP Omen Max 16 (2025) Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
The HP Omen Max 16 (2025) is a solid gaming laptop with decent levels of power, a good port selection and a bright, punchy IPS screen. Against key rivals though, the battery life isn’t as strong, it leaves some performance on the table and the design isn’t as eye-catching. Both the Medion Erazer Beast 16 X1 Ultimate (RTX 5080) and MSI Vector 16 HX AI A2XW (2025) are slightly cheaper, have similar or better screens and much stronger endurance. They’re also more powerful, in spite of having the same components at their core. For the £2999/$3149.99 asking price of HP’s option, you can do better. For more options, check out our list of the best gaming laptops we’ve tested.

70% All Gaming Laptops Should Copy the HP Omen Max 16’s All-Too Obvious Feature
Source: Gizmodo English
HP’s gaming arm is trying something different, though it’s still trying to claw attention from the competition with the inclusion of an RGB light bar under the front of the chassis. There are more than a few reasons I would gravitate toward the HP Omen Max 16 as my PC of choice, but there are niggling issues that need to be ironed out. HP is held back by its software more than anything else, but despite its keyboard, the Omen Max 16’s hardware—specifically, the Instant Pair feature with peripherals—is something every PC maker should look to emulate.

80% HP Omen Max 16 Review: A Good Omen for Gamers
Source: NDTV Gadgets English
HP's Omen Max 16 delivers top-tier performance without question. If you end up losing a game, rest assured that it won't be due to lag or hardware limitations. For gamers and creative professionals alike, this laptop offers excellent value – packing powerful specs at a price that undercuts many competitors in the same class. While it does have a few minor drawbacks, such as average speakers and noticeably loud fans under load, these don't significantly detract from the overall experience, especially considering the performance you're getting for the price. In the configuration we reviewed, the Omen Max 16 proves itself a worthy investment and a solid choice for anyone seeking a high-performance gaming laptop that can hold its own at the desk all day long.

78% HP Omen Max 16 review: Premium power meets an understated design
Source: PC World English
The HP Omen Max 16 is a capable, though rather dull, option in the highly competitive field of mid to high-end gaming laptops with Nvidia RTX 50-series hardware. It provides performance that’s broadly like the alternatives yet lacks features that might help it separate it from the pack. It doesn’t have the flair of the Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 or the performance of the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 16. Yet there’s one thing about the HP Omen Max 16 that’s very attractive: the price. Listed at an MSRP of $3,339.99 and currently sold (and in stock!) on Best Buy for $3,139.99, the Omen Max 16 is towards the low end of pricing for a 16-inch gaming laptop with an Intel Core Ultra 9 and RTX 5080. And, as mentioned, it performs about as well as its more expensive peers.

75% HP OMEN Max 16 Laptop Review
Source: Kitguru English
The Omen Max 16 is a great looking laptop, the model we were sent for the review is finished in a stunning white ceramic coating that certainly catches the eye. The finish is further accentuated by the great RGB implementation across the keyboard and underglow strip. However, when we look at performance, it is plagued by the usual thermal issues that arise when manufacturers cram power hungry parts in to thin chassis. When using the ‘Unleashed' power profile found in the Omen Gaming Hub software, the Core Ultra 275HX very quickly hits its thermal limits and in turn throttles power usage, which results in substantial dips in performance core clock speeds and performance. The 1TB SSD also disappointed when considering the £2999 price point. Game install sizes have grown year on year and we think 1TB just isn't enough for a premium gaming machine in 2025. The screen is a saving grace though – it's gorgeous, producing vibrant, crisp and smooth visuals which will satisfy even the most demanding pixel peepers.

HP Omen Max 16 Review: Power unleashed, literally! Feat. Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX + RTX 5080
Source: Think Digit English
The HP Omen Max 16 is a bold step forward for HP’s gaming lineup, delivering desktop-level performance in a sleek, redesigned chassis. With standout specs like the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, RTX 5080 GPU, and a vapor chamber cooling system, it’s clear HP isn’t just playing catch-up, they’re setting a new bar for value in the high-end gaming segment. While it does fall slightly behind rivals like the ASUS ROG Strix Scar 16 in benchmarks, the nearly ₹79,000 lower price tag makes the Omen Max 16 a compelling choice for gamers. Yes, it has some minor shortcomings like average speakers, a slightly mushy keyboard, and limited display options in India, but those feel like small trade-offs when you consider the overall package. For gamers and creators seeking power, style, and relatively better value, the Omen Max 16 is easily HP’s best gaming laptop to date.

85% HP Omen Max 16 Review: An Almost Perfect Gaming Powerhouse
Source: 91mobiles English
In India, the HP Omen Max 16 is priced at Rs. 3,09,999. This configuration includes the Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB Gen5 SSD. It’s available as a single variant, which is a bit of a letdown when you consider the options available overseas. In global markets, the Omen Max 16 can be configured with an OLED display, an even more powerful RTX 5090 GPU, 2TB storage, or 64GB of RAM — all of which add a layer of flexibility that Indian buyers currently don’t get. Then again, at ₹3.1 lakhs, even this base model is an expensive proposition, putting it well beyond reach for most mainstream buyers. So, for the few who can afford it, is it worth it? If raw power is your top priority, then absolutely. The HP Omen Max 16 is easily one of the most capable gaming laptops of 2025.

If your workflows involve pushing large numbers of pixels about, as video or in 3D, then a PC with a GPU like this will certainly help speed things up. The HP Omen Max 16 is a true desktop replacement, and is studded with fast ports to move data in and out. It has the expected low battery life of a gaming laptop, but its 32GB of RAM may also be a bit small for heavy modern workloads.

Source: Laptop Mag English
As someone who’s been using an HP Omen for quite a while now, I had high hopes for the HP Omen Max 16. And for the most part, HP delivered with its powerful overall performance, epic display, solid keyboard, and decent heat management. However, I wanted more out of the gaming performance and battery life, especially for its price. If you’re looking for something with strong battery life and epic performance, check out the Gigabyte Aorus Master 16 for over $1,000 less. However, you simply cannot beat the HP Omen Max’s 16-inch OLED display. That color is straight up dripping.

The HP OMEN MAX 16 is a masterclass in stealthy performance, a gaming laptop that hides its monstrous capabilities behind a surprisingly sleek and understated design. It’s a machine that doesn’t need to scream to be heard, delivering top-tier power and an exceptional visual experience in a package that feels right at home in any setting. For the gamer who wants the absolute best components without the flashy, aggressive aesthetic of typical gaming rigs, this is a compelling choice. While it stumbles slightly on endurance and has a few quirky keyboard choices, the core experience it provides is incredibly strong, making it one of the most potent and refined 16-inch gaming laptops on the market.

HP OMEN Max 16 Gaming Laptop Review: Beauty And Brute Force
Source: Hot Hardware English
We just reviewed the ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 before this machine, and its a darn hard act to follow—especially when you're packing the exact same hardware into a smaller form factor. But make no mistake: this machine delivers very nearly the exact same gaming performance as the larger ASUS machine for about two pounds and two inches less. It also retains the second M.2 socket for storage expansion—although we would prefer if the system were easier to open, and having to remove its thermal solution to get to it is a downer. The main pain point with this new HP gaming laptop, which may be a dealbreaker for some, is its price, but we'll circle back on that. Aside from its pricing, the system’s fan noise can be high at times, it offers mediocre battery life and HP's software setup on this machine could use some refinement, at least currently.

80% HP Omen Max 16 review (2025)
Source: T3 English
The HP Omen Max 16 is a genuine beast of a laptop, and joins the competition with something to prove. I found it a well-designed and exceptionally well-built machine that lived up to my performance expectations in almost every regard. That said, it's pricey compared to some of the alternatives on the market, and it's chunky enough to not really merit all that much praise on the design side of things. If you want something sleek, it's a bit of a halfway house, but there's no arguing with the results it delivers.

80% HP Omen Max 16 review: plentiful performance comes with a weight penalty
Source: Stuff TV English
I can’t fault the Omen Max 16’s gaming performance – its RTX 5080 GPU is a potent chip that’s well matched to the screen resolution, and Nvidia’s tricky upscaling tech should ensure you’ll be playing the latest titles at high details for at least a few years to come. HP has also been pretty competitive on price. You do have to compromise in a few places, most notably the heavier build and cramped keyboard. This particular model also has a screen that’s merely OK. Personally I’d save a little more cash and go for an alternative with an OLED display, or one that’s a little thinner. Given the Razer Blade 16 is both those things, it gets my vote over this.

Comment

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.


These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop: A fast graphics card from the Blackwell family for laptops that is based on the GB203 chip and uses 8,192 shaders and 16 GB GDDR7 graphics memory (256-bit graphics bus).

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop: The GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile uses the GB203 chip and utilizes 10,496 shaders / CUDA cores of the maximum 10,752 that the chip has. This makes the RTX 5090 Laptop more similar to the RTX 5080 desktop variant (same chip) than the Desktop RTX 5090 with 20,760 cores and higher clock rates.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop: An upcoming graphics card from the Blackwell family for laptops, which Team Green will most likely present at CES 2025. We assume that it will be based on GB205 chip, with 5,888 active unified shaders (CUDA cores).

Intel Arrow Lake:

Ultra 9 275HX: Mobile high-end CPU for gaming notebooks based on the Arrow Lake architecture. Offers 24 cores consisting of 8 fast performance cores with up to 5.4 GHz and 16 smaller efficiency cores with up to 4.6 GHz clock speed. The CPU can access 40 MB L2 cache and 36 MB L3 cache and is specified with a TDP of 55 watts. The SoC integrates a small dedicated NPU called AI Boost with 13 TOPS (Int8) and optionally supports vPro Essentials.

AMD Strix Halo/Point (Zen 5/5c, Ryzen AI 300):

Ryzen AI 9 HX 375: A powerful Strix Point family processor that launched to little fanfare in July 2024. The Ryzen AI 9 series APU comes equipped with 12 CPU cores along with the 16 CU RDNA 3.5 Radeon 890M graphics adapter and the 55 TOPS XDNA 2 neural engine. There is no PCIe 5 support here and 8 of the CPU cores are slower than the other 4.

16.00:

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


2.66 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.

2.807 kg:


81.62%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
