Compared to their last-gen counterparts, RTX 5080 laptops are still somewhat pricey. However, price-conscious gamers who don't want to invest their hard-earned money into older hardware can already find some decent deals, as illustrated by HP's current offer for the new Omen Max.
To be more exact, HP has already discounted the Omen Max 16 with the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card to $2,599 at the company's official online store. On top of that, shoppers can take advantage of the coupon code "LEVELUP20", which provides an additional 20% in savings and results in a sale price of $2,079. In comparison to the original list price of $3,299, this gaming laptop deal offers savings of 36% or $1,220.
In order to find out if this gaming laptop is a good fit, please check out our comprehensive review of the HP Omen Max 16. Our test unit was equipped with the same Intel processor, but also the more powerful RTX 5090 as well as the optional OLED display. The configuration that's on sale here comes with the base IPS display with a WQXGA resolution of 2560 x 1800 pixels, refresh rate of 240Hz and up to 500 nits of brightness.
That being said, this version has the same comfortable keyboard and easily accessible RAM and PCIe 5.0 SSD slots that were praised in our review. On the other hand, gamers should expect high CPU temperatures, rather weak speakers and a heavy chassis with a total weight of over 6 lbs. Nevertheless, slightly over $2,000 is a good deal for an RTX 5080 notebook at this point in time, which is why the HP Omen Max is worth considering for high-end gamers with a corresponding budget.
