Yesterday’s laptop deal was for the Lenovo LOQ, but we can’t bring up budget gaming laptops without mentioning their more premium counterparts. A budget gaming laptop gets the job done, but a premium gaming laptop goes above and beyond, delivering higher graphical fidelity and higher frame rates for smoother action. Plus, they tend to just look cool, you know? I’m a huge fan of RGBs. The HP Omen Max was released earlier this year as a refresh of the flagship Omen 16 line, featuring more powerful silicon, and it’s currently on sale for a whopping 35% off retail when you use code POWERUP15.
HP Omen Max 16-Inch 2K Laptop
Intel Ultra 9, RTX 5080, 1TB SSD, 32GB RAM
$2,124.99 With Code “POWERUP15”
at HP
In his review of a similar HP Omen Max configuration, computer expert Charles Jefferies said, “The HP Omen Max 16 ranks among the elite in the 16-inch gaming laptop category for raw performance and high-quality materials, especially if you can snag a deal on it.” This model features a potent RTX 5080 GPU and the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU. Although it lacks the OLED display our test model possessed, the 2K resolution is still easy on the eyes.
With these specs, you can run the latest video game releases at their highest settings, and with 32GB of high-bandwidth RAM, you can multitask like a champ and engage in creativity tasks like video and photo editing. The Omen Max 16 is “one of the more budget-conscious routes into higher-end RTX 50-series gaming silicon, relatively speaking,” and you can save $1,175 right now. Remember to use code POWERUP15 to maximize your savings!
