Priced at $2,699.99, the launch edition of the HP Omen Max 16 comes equipped with the performance-focused Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, a step up from the efficiency-oriented Core Ultra 9 185H. The base configuration boasts a stunning 16" QHD+ display with a 240Hz refresh rate, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a speedy 1TB M.2 SSD. At this price point, it's a steal compared to the upcoming Razer Blade 16, which offers similar specs for $500 more.

When does this laptop ship out?

Anticipation is high as HP estimates the Omen Max 16 will start shipping in early to mid-March, just a few weeks away. Keep in mind, the RTX 50-series mobile GPUs are yet to be released, so performance benchmarks are still on the horizon.

Alternative: Preorder the New Razer Blade Laptops

For those considering other options, Razer's 2025 lineup of gaming laptops is now available for preorder. The Razer Blade 16 and Razer Blade 18 can be ordered directly from Razer.com, featuring the latest Intel and Ryzen processors and the new RTX 5000-series mobile GPUs in three variants: RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090. Preordering comes with the added perk of bonus accessories, depending on the model you choose.

Razer Blade laptops are renowned for their superior build quality, crafted from a single piece of aluminum, and designed to be remarkably thin and light. Razer's proprietary cooling system, which includes a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled, copper vapor chamber, ensures efficient heat dissipation. This level of engineering, akin to that found in Apple MacBook Pros, justifies the premium price tag of Razer's offerings.
