HP's highly anticipated 2025 Omen Max 16 gaming laptop is now available for preorder. This powerhouse packs the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 HX-series processor and GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU, promising top-tier performance. Shipping is estimated to begin March 13th. The Omen Max 16 will join HP's existing Omen and Omen Transcend lines as the company's flagship gaming laptop.
Preorder the HP Omen Max 16" RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop
Available March.
The launch edition boasts an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU—a performance-focused chip compared to the efficiency-oriented Core Ultra 9 185H. Other specs include a 16" QHD+ 240Hz display, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. This configuration is priced approximately $500 less than comparable Razer Blade 16 models.
HP estimates shipments to begin in early to mid-March. Note that benchmarks for the RTX 50-series mobile GPUs are not yet available.
Razer's 2025 gaming laptops—the Blade 16 and Blade 18—are also available for preorder. These laptops feature Intel and Ryzen processors (depending on model) and RTX 5000-series mobile GPUs (RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090). Preorders include bonus accessories.
Razer Blade laptops are renowned for their premium build quality. Crafted from a single piece of aluminum, they are exceptionally thin and light, thanks to Razer's proprietary cooling system—a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber. This sophisticated engineering contributes to their higher price point.
