Reviews for the HP Omen Max 16 ah000
The Omen Max 16 ships with the latest Intel Arrow Lake processors and Nvidia Maxwell graphics available up to the Core Ultra 9 275HX and GeForce RTX 5090. However, the CPU in particular could have likely benefited from a stronger cooling solution.

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.

While the HP Omen Max 16 is very heavy and very expensive, it’s still one of the finest gaming laptops I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing. I was somewhat skeptical about the RTX 50-series, but this brilliant notebook and the RTX 5090-powered Alienware Area-51 PC have shown me how amazing Nvidia’s latest laptop and desktop GPUs are. The Omen Max 16 delivers a brilliant gaming experience thanks to its powerful performance and gorgeous OLED display. Price aside, if this is what we can expect from other RTX 50 laptops (and PCs) in 2025, then I’m all onboard.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
