"Now the last part of that claim is a bit of a cop out, but considering that most gamers probably don't want to lug around a notebook with hoses coming out the back, it's an understandable qualifier. Plus, with a total platform power of 300 watts that includes support for the latest chips from Intel and AMD and up to an NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU, this thing certainly won't be lacking in speed."
"As for its design, the Max 16 doesn't stray too far from HyperX's signature matte black color scheme, though I do appreciate that the company kept a handful of accents like the RGB lightbar mounted on the laptop's front lip. The notebook also features a per-key RGB backlit keyboard with a 1,000Hz polling rate, which should all but eliminate any issues with ghosting or rollover during hectic facerolling sessions."
"However, one quirk about the system I noticed when checking it out first hand is that even with above average brightness of 500 nits for its 2.5K OLED display, the screen also comes with an unusually glossy coating. The benefit of this is that colors appear super saturated. The downside is that especially in well-lit rooms with a lot of sunlight, there's more glare and reflections than you might expect."
HP shifted gaming hardware branding to HyperX and launched the Omen Max 16 with a focus on internal cooling. The Max 16 claims fully internal cooling while HyperX counts only notebooks without external cooling. The platform delivers 300 watts and supports the latest Intel and AMD chips plus up to an NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU. Cooling includes a third fan and HP's Fan Cleaner tech that reverses fan direction to prevent dust and reduce throttling. Design uses a matte black scheme with RGB accents and a 1,000Hz per-key RGB keyboard. The 2.5K OLED offers about 500 nits but has a glossy coating that boosts saturation and increases glare in bright rooms.
