It's not all picnics and buttercups, though. The HP Omen Max 16 is a noisy beast when pushed to its maximum, and the battery life is pretty terrible, much like the Vector. These are the concessions you still have to make with most high-end gaming laptops, unless you're prepared to spend a huge amount of cash on something that feels truly next-generation, like the Razer Blade 16.
For those who want to keep an eye on the pennies while still getting a monstrously-powerful gaming laptop, though, the HP machine is now an even better pick. It's also rather handsome, with a stealth black chassis design that looks and feels as premium as you'd hope. I'll be keeping my eye out for more Black Friday gaming laptop deals as the sales continue over the weekend, but I think I'll have my work cut out trying to find RTX 5080 lappys for any less than this.
