The launch edition of the HP Omen Max 16 comes with the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, a processor designed for peak performance, outshining the efficiency-focused Core Ultra 9 185H. Alongside this, the base configuration boasts a 16" QHD+ display with a 240Hz refresh rate, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD, all for an attractive price of $2,699.99. This makes it a more budget-friendly option compared to the similarly specced Razer Blade 16, which comes in at $500 more.

When does this laptop ship out?

Anticipation builds as HP projects the Omen Max 16 to ship in early to mid-March, just a few weeks away. Although the RTX 50-series mobile GPUs are yet to be released, the excitement for what they'll bring to gaming laptops is palpable.

Alternative: Preorder the New Razer Blade Laptops

For those considering other options, Razer's 2025 gaming laptops are also available for preorder. The Razer Blade 16 and Razer Blade 18, available directly from Razer.com, come equipped with the latest Intel and Ryzen processors and the new RTX 5000-series mobile GPUs, available in RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090 variants. Preordering these models comes with the added bonus of exclusive accessories.

Razer is renowned for its superior build quality, featuring a chassis crafted from a single piece of aluminum, designed to be thin and lightweight while maintaining the robust performance expected from a gaming laptop. Razer's innovative cooling system, utilizing a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled, copper vapor chamber, ensures efficient heat dissipation. This level of engineering, akin to that of Apple's MacBook Pros, justifies the premium pricing of Razer's offerings over other mainstream brands.
