(Image credit: Future) More glorious Black Friday treats as the price of this uber-powerful RTX 5080-powered gaming laptop from HP shaves $1450 off the launch price of the HP OMEN Max 16, now only $1849.99 . This gaming powerhouse uses Nvidia's latest 50-series graphics cards, but not just any GPU; it uses the high-end RTX 5080 with that all-important 16GB of speedy GDDR7 VRAM. An ever-growing essential requirement for high-end gaming, as more and more games chew through VRAM capacity for shader and texture pre-loading.
The configuration of this particular model of the HP OMEN Max 16 consists of an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 (16GB) GPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) screen with a max 240Hz refresh rate, 3 ms response time, 500 nits brightness, and 100% sRGB color gamut.
This gaming laptop will blast through the latest games thanks to powerful components like the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

It came top in some of the games tested, and this shows in our charts below. It's worth noting that our review sample used almost identical components, bar a more powerful RTX 5090 GPU. Our test results were also compared to other laptops sporting the RTX 5090 and similar configurations to keep results fair.
