I been using this laptop for over a month now, so I'll say it's a pretty good laptop. I feel like they should've added more standard usb ports on the devise and sometimes the laptop get's really hot when playing most demanding games. But in all, it's a good laptop and I'm satisfied with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The machine is dead and wont turn on. HP service is slow and difficult to work with. I would not recommend this laptop at all.

Hardware is excellent, software is bloated.

Build quality seems great. Performs well. However too much HP bloatware that you can’t seem to get rid of. A lot of ads built in that appear every time you turn it on.

This is as advertised. I play Wuwa at max settings and this thing doesn't even get phased. I crashed once but I think it may have been the new nvidia drivers. The one thing I wish was better (this is prolly only applicable to my setup) is that when I disable the laptop screen to just use my monitor, the laptop builtin monitor will still have back light. Every time I boot up I have to re-disable the builtin monitor to make the laptop screen complete dark. A minor issue but that's the only thing I came across that qualifies as an issue.
I would recommend this to a friend!

OMEN MAX AI dev. laptop/mobile workstation.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was very happy with my purchase of the HP OMEN MAX. The price was right for my budget, and I was not disappointed by its performance... It handled demanding local AI and LLM workloads. The RTX 5080 GPU and Ryzen AI 9 processor appear to be a great combination. The machine is a powerful, stable, and well-designed laptop that feels more like a mobile workstation than a typical gaming system.

Disappointing Lack of Disclosure on Variant Differences
on November 30, 2025
Posted by: Ponoka
Very disappointed with the lack of transparency regarding a whole plethora of missing features that are implied to be available but shown to be only available on the Intel version. I am bothered by the fact that fan cleaning only exists on the Intel model, and that Nvidia Advanced Optimus does not exist as a feature on this model. I am also disappointed with the AMD variant of the Omen Max 16 not having the option to upgrade to an OLED panel through customization. I am not sure what else has been different but it almost feels like I have been sold a different product compared to what the page and almost every reviewer online has suggested about the laptop.
Aside from glaring misrepresentation, the laptop also tends to run hot and the keys are honestly a bit squishy. I give a fairly dishonorable mention on the awkward spacebar which tilts down when pushed from the bottom half of the spacebar. It really makes the spacebar feel substantially worse than the other keys.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
