BOUGHT USED LIKE A BROKIE GAGAGAGA

Jesus Christ. Like all laptop brands have issues, but I feel like MSI is objectively one of the worst ones and experiences the most QC issues. Is the Stealth at least one of their better models? Could not imagine spending $2500 on this thing with a fucking 4080 midway through 2025 lmao For transpare

Why do omen face so much hate?

HP and Lenovo are the biggest players in the market by a long shot, followed by Dell, which Alienware is a small part off and Acer and Asus have a third of their marketplace roughly. More sold devices, more customers, equals more customer reactions. Customers react much harsher to negative experienc

Avoid the HP OMEN MAX 16 —mine completely died, and HP may keep it for nearly 3 months

In my case, I bought the HP omen Max 16 ah00xxx rtx 5080 series. I was aware of the problem related to the liquid metal, and I repasted it as soon as I could. Nevertheless, while I was waiting for the PTM to arrive, I used it for gaming just to test it. Thermals skyrocketed up to C 100 on the CPU an

Avoid the HP OMEN MAX 16 —mine completely died, and HP may keep it for nearly 3 months

I had the exact same issue with mine (16t-ah000, Intel 275HX, RTX 5090). Purchased in July 2025, in the United States.I noticed it was overheating during gaming since day 1. The CPU was thermal throttling so much that its speed went all the way down to 2.5-2.7 GHz while under load. I should have tri

Exclusive: HP prepares HyperX OMEN MAX 16, OMEN 16, OMEN 15 with Intel Panther Lake and Ryzen AI chips

Seems like the OLED displays and the inclusion of the 9955HX AMD chips are the big changes for the next year. Shame the most powerful AMD CPUs are not going to be paired with the best GPUs and cooling in the Max systems. HP used the 8940/45HX AMD chips in the regular Omen this year already but it's

No normal person really needs a 5090 in an Laptop. But if they do I reckon they'd want to make sure they can reach it's peak performance. With the introduction of LM to the HP Omen Max 16 lineup many said that the LM will eventually run onto the motherboard and short it put. You'd have ro open it up

Bingung milih antara TUF Legion Omen

Saran saya kalo GPU laptop jangan ambil rtx 5050 karena bottleneck buat gaming,minimal laptop 5060 kalo buat gaming TUF F16 (best TUF series rn) https://id.shp.ee/CTaVCZ7 Alternative kalo mau langsung ke ROG Strix (better build quality,cooling,performance,but heavier,,and worse battery life) https:/

Getting a new Hp Omen 16 Ryzen 9 8940HX 5060 8gb vram and 24gb ddr5 single channel variant

Very good tips! I would take the first with a grain of salt. HP has gotten very bad rep for some leaking paste but there are a lot of people absolutely happy with their thermal paste as it came! Check carefully your temps before getting to work on the pastejob! Apart from that, I would second all of

Your honest experience with HP Omen Max 16

HP Omen Max 16 | Ultra 7-255HX | RTX5080 Had the laptop now for a little over 8 months, I did a repaste with Thermal Grizzly PTM7950 and Advanced Putty Pro, right from the start. I run different development environments on the laptop as well as VMs. Gaming works well too. Never ran into a problem or
