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

I didn't buy the laptop so that I could play games exclusively, if I had wanted to do that I would've spent another 1k -2k extra and built a PC. HOWEVER, what my mission for this machine requires is the most possible compute and rendering power as I can possibly squeeze into a portable workstation,

I would say a desktop if you really had to choose something for performance :p but I know that's not what you're asking here. Personally, I would go for the lenovo. If you don't care about the extra screen size, I don't think the jump from core 7 to core 9 is worth paying 500$ more. I also prefer le

So I got an HP Omen Max 16 last week with a 255HX. Noticed high temps (hitting 102 degrees on some cores) and intermittent throttling that I could temporarily solve by turning down cores 1 and 2 down to 51x core ratio and core 6/7/8 down to 49x. Decided to replace the liquid metal with Thermal Grizz

You probably don't need your CPU boosting that hard for most games. Disable boost or lower it and you won't see it throttle so bad. That said, it's unfortunate that the 2025 HP Omen Max 16 has poor cooling and can't handle the 275HX despite their fancy cooling / vapor chamber / thermal paste that th

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 have new omen max 16, when I open programs the first time after power up they are extremely slow to open. It has core ultra 9 and 32gb ram, it is way slower than my elitebook x360 g2 with 7th gen i7 to open the same program. HP Omen max is brand new updated drivers etc., have raised issue with HP
