HP has introduced the OMEN MAX 16 gaming laptop in India. The laptop combines high-performance hardware with AI-driven features to deliver a seamless gaming experience, the company stated.
OMEN MAX 16
The OMEN MAX 16 features a metal chassis in Ceramic White or Shadow Black, with an optional RGB light bar and a HyperX-inspired per-key RGB keyboard, both customizable through OMEN Light Studio.
Its 16-inch IPS display offers a 2560×1600 resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, 500 nits peak brightness, and full sRGB coverage. It supports variable refresh rate (VRR) to reduce screen tearing during gameplay.
Powered by up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and 64GB DDR5 RAM, the laptop efficiently handles demanding games. The OMEN Gaming Hub’s Unleashed Mode allows users to adjust power settings for performance or efficiency.
Equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU using Blackwell architecture, it supports NVIDIA DLSS 4 and Studio for enhanced graphics and AI performance, as well as NIM Microservices for AI-powered assistants and workflows.
- The laptop reaches a combined CPU and GPU power usage exceeding 250W (75W CPU + 175W GPU), backed by a twin-fan setup, heat pipes, and a vapor chamber spanning 61% of the motherboard.
- A mix of liquid metal and thermal paste, known as OMEN Cryo Compound, teams with the Tempest Cooling Pro system to manage heat and maintain steady airflow.
- To prevent dust build-up and improve durability, the Fan Cleaner feature reverses airflow direction at intervals to clean the fans internally.
The OMEN MAX 16 supports Ultra Low Latency Gen 3 technology, enabling instant connections with up to three HyperX devices, enhanced by a new ULL radio frequency design and optimized antenna placement for reliable responsiveness.
The HP True Vision 1080p FHD IR camera includes temporal noise reduction and dual-array digital microphones for clear video calls and improved low-light performance. It supports Windows Hello facial recognition and features a physical privacy shutter.
The laptop uses sustainable materials, including ocean-bound plastics, recycled metals, and post-consumer recycled content, with eco-friendly packaging. It is ENERGY STAR certified and EPEAT Gold registered, aligning with HP’s environmental goals.
