HP Launches OMEN MAX 16 Gaming Laptop in India with Intel Core Ultra 9 and RTX 5080 GPU. The laptop aims at hardcore gamers and creators alike. It comes with top-tier specifications, AI-driven enhancements, and a premium design to deliver an immersive and seamless gaming experience.
The OMEN MAX 16 features a stylish and durable metal chassis. The design is enhanced with an optional RGB light bar and a HyperX-inspired per-key RGB keyboard. Both can be fully customized using OMEN Light Studio. It is available in two color options: Ceramic White and Shadow Black.
The laptop features a 16-inch IPS display with a sharp 2560×1600 resolution to offer crisp visuals and vibrant colors. It has a 240Hz refresh rate, 500 nits peak brightness, and 100% sRGB coverage. Gamers can expect smooth and accurate visuals, even in fast-paced action scenes. It also supports variable refresh rate (VRR) to ensure that screen tearing is minimized during gameplay.
It is powered by up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor paired with up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM. So, the laptop is capable of handling demanding AAA games, heavy multitasking, and content creation tasks effortlessly. It also includes OMEN Gaming Hub’s Unleashed Mode that allows users to fine-tune power settings to prioritize either performance or efficiency.
It also includes NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, based on NVIDIA’s latest Blackwell architecture. With support for DLSS 4, NVIDIA Studio, and NIM Microservices, this GPU delivers next-generation AI-assisted graphics rendering and workflow enhancements.
To manage the intense power output, which can reach a combined 250W (75W CPU + 175W GPU), HP has equipped the OMEN MAX 16 with an advanced thermal system. This includes a twin-fan setup, heat pipes, and a large vapor chamber that covers 61% of the motherboard. HP’s OMEN Cryo Compound, a special mix of liquid metal and thermal paste, works alongside the Tempest Cooling Pro system to regulate temperatures efficiently. An interesting feature is the Fan Cleaner, which reverses the airflow at regular intervals to clean dust from the fans internally, extending the system’s durability.
The OMEN MAX 16 also supports Ultra Low Latency (ULL) Gen 3 technology. It enables near-instant wireless connections with up to three HyperX devices. A newly optimized radio frequency design and improved antenna placement ensure responsive and lag-free communication between peripherals and the laptop.
One of the standout features of the OMEN MAX 16 is the introduction of OMEN AI Beta, a new AI-powered software that optimizes gaming performance by analyzing gameplay and adjusting system settings in real time. It intelligently adapts OS-level, hardware, and in-game configurations based on the user’s playstyle. The first game supported is Counter-Strike 2, with support for more titles expected soon.
The laptop also has an HP True Vision 1080p FHD IR camera with temporal noise reduction, which enhances clarity even in low-light conditions. It also has Dual-array digital microphones to provide crisp audio and support. There is also a physical privacy shutter to cover the webcam and support for Windows Hello facial recognition.
OMEN MAX 16 packs an 83 Wh, 6-cell Li-ion polymer battery and supports fast charging. It charges to 50% battery in 30 minutes and comes with a 330W adapter. It has Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7 for wireless connectivity. The laptop also has 2x Thunderbolt 4, 2x USB-A, HDMI 2.2, RJ-45, and combo audio jack.
The OMEN MAX 16 is now available for purchase via HP’s official online store and Amazon India, with prices starting at ₹3,09,999. The OMEN AI Beta tool is available globally and will continue to evolve with new updates and game support.
