The media could not be loaded. The HP Omen Max 16 is unfit to be called a "gaming laptop" sadly.After time setting it up and downloading latest updates and adding games I was immediately disappointed! You would think with an Intel Ultra 9 CPU and a RTX 5080 GPU this could run anything you throw at it right? My experience was sadly no that is not the case... I will explain why below.First of all I have experienced crazy drops down to as low as 8 to 10 FPS in games. I have attached a screenshot showing this in game on Days Gone as an example. The frame graph shows severe red spikes in stability and performance and this sadly is consistent even in games that are less demanding.Every game I tried it was thermal throttling, even Fortnite was thermal throttling as well and that isn't a demanding game especially not for the CPU and GPU in the HP Omen Max 16 which should run it without problem but it's a totally unstable mess with regular severe frame drops/performance spikes and again like in all the other games I have tried it's constant as soon as the game starts up...I have tried all graphics modes on this HP Omen Max 16, Eco/Balanced Performance and Unleashed and IT DOESN'T MATTER what setting you choose unbelievably it STILL constantly thermally throttles on every mode... So clearly it's unfit for purpose/faulty.Then it started to crash in game as well as the thermal throttling, attached a video showing Star Wars Jedi Survivor completely crashed and froze on Omen Max 16 screen. It couldn't be closed and the laptop had to be completely shut down/restarted, unfortunately this wasn't isolated and the laptop continually crashed during games!Extremely disappointed, just like the MSI Vector models this so called gaming laptop is a pile of trash and unfit to be sold in its current state. I searched online and it seems these issues are NOT isolated either which is totally unacceptable. Why are huge companies selling laptops that aren't fit for purpose!?And to makes matters even worse HP customer service were an absolute waste of time and didn't care because the laptop was bought from Amazon, so I have raised a return for this on the Amazon. And hopefully it is collected/returned and refunded promptly.HP have a cheek charging what they are for this terrible thermal throttling/crash fest of a laptop, like MSI what quality checks are actually carried out before these are boxed in factory and then sent out!?Got the feeling like with MSI now the answer is ZERO! My advice is AVOID the HP Omen Max 16 like the plague along with the MSI Vector models and would especially caution buying a laptop/gaming laptop with an Intel Ultra 7/9 CPU and RTX GPU'S as they are shockingly bad/unfit for purpose.It seems there are now well documented online big issues and problems with Gaming Laptops using Intel Ultra CPU's and NVIDIA RTX GPU's currently.This thing is totally useless and it's pretty shameful that HP are trying to sell this to the gaming community. I really think proper and stringent quality checks should be carried out on ALL laptops from all the manufacturers to make sure they are in full working order with no serious issues like thermal throttling and constant crashes!If I could give it ZERO stars I would but 1 is the lowest so it's ⭐1 Star from me and my advice to the gaming community/those interested in buying is stay well clear of these laptops as in current state are totally unfit for purpose.The amount of time I have wasted setting it up and adding games to find that it's just a mess of thermal throttling and crashes has been deeply frustrating...

Machine meets all expectations. Price was very good for the configuration of the machine. Performance was as expected.

Nice feeling weighty laptop, HP Victus. Easy to set up. Runs games smoothly, great visuals. Very happy with my purchase.

The media could not be loaded. This little laptop is powerful for it's price with the processor speed beating my PC's i7 processor and though the graphics card is low range it manages to achieve super smooth 144fps refresh rate on most slightly older titles which look much more smooth than a 60hz monitor or TV. The hinge is long and sturdy which is great because many laptops suffer from poor hinge design and break very easily after opening and shutting it alot but I think it will be fine for quite a while. The keys all light up but you need to first activate it with a keyboard combination. Unfortunately there are only two USB slots and a USB C slot. It's a little difficult to manage with only two but you could always use a USB hub for more slots. The WiFi speed is nice and fast, connects to my downstairs WiFi 6e hub fine. SD card reader, ethernet port and HDMI port available which are always appreciated though it's very tricky to pull an ethernet cable out for some reason.The laptop itself looks quite plain despite being powerful, might help deter thieves.

Very disappointing, ms explorer crashing/freezing repeatedly, requiring restarts. File xfer speeds half that of a cheap (£100) micro pc I use as a back up pc, and warranty had been activated 1 year earlier, and had only 2 days to run when I went to activate it.

I selected this model for gaming and music production. The packaging in the centre had been damaged in the top centre Pic Nr 5. I presume some weight may have exerted in transit.But for some reason the top at the centre was ripped of !! A very slight minute crack was seen and as I opened and closed the lift for the first 6hrs it was setting and updating the software the crack got longer.I will be buying this item again as all the students at the studio say it’s the best for the software we use for sound production.Had the packaging and care in transit been a bit better than the flimsy cardboard ( a protection piece was missing or repackaged incorrectlyExcept for thisIt is an excellent product

Absolutely in love with this laptop, I bought it so I can buy Sims lmao and it works perfect! Just one thing, the fan can get loud over time if you're running heavy games.
