I have Hp Omen Max 16 with RTX 5080, didn’t repaste. Temperatures holding well in my honest opinion. Quite a good laptop actually, never once regretted buying it.

I get the impression that you haven't used many good Windows laptops, because my experience does not line up with the dire gulf in features and usability you're describing above. For reference - I'm a hardware nerd who love laptops and currently own five (16" M1 Max MBP, 14" M1 Pro MBP, 13" M2 MBA,

Je vous déconseille d’acheter ce modèle. J’a acheté HP omen max 16 avec rtx 5070 ti + ultra core i7 et j’ai eu que des problèmes. Après deux mois d’attente en réparation je l’ai reçu et je fois de nouveau le renvoyer. Éviter d’acheter ce modèle un conseil.

I used TG PhaseSheet on my wife's HP Omen Max 16 and it's been running well. No complaints. Cores under heavy load can reach 100C, but that's to be expected (there's no undervolting). I've just as much seen it be power limited rather than temperature limited.

Avoid Omen Max 16's. I have on and its had nonstop issues originating from the themal paste they use which is a mix of liquid metal and regular thermal paste essentially.

If it uses hps hybrid cryo compound run very far away from it! It will leak and when it does your whole computer will be fried.

Might be a little late, but it looks really good in person. Performance should be fine with those specs. For weight, its heavy as the weight is the same as the 16, but usable. For looks, the sides look very thin when placed on your lap or surface. Of course, the actual height is under that but that

I've bought the hp omen Max 16 about 3 months ago, took exceptional care of it when using and tbh I never really used it that much cause I already had another laptop with all my stuff on it( which I planned of selling ). Even with this light usage and care a couple of days ago the display just went
