HyperX – HP OMEN 16″ 165Hz 2.5K OLED Gaming Laptop – AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX (2025) – 16GB RAM – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 – 512GB SSD – Shadow Black

Incredible machine - No lagging at all, battery charges up quick and holds a charge for a long time, seamless workflow.

Gaming laptop - This is a great gaming laptop especially at the sale price. Battery doesn’t last long so it needs to be plugged in to actually use it

Great option for a little gamer! - I got this laptop as a replacement for my son´s Alienware (8 years old laptop), and it is just amazing, great graphics, incredible performance! The only thing that could be better is the amount of SSD memory. And the best thing: I got it on sale.

THE POWER-PER-DOLLAR REPLACEMENT DESKTOP - (A lot to read, but worth it if you want hardware that will last) To understand why this HP OMEN 16 (HyperX Edition) is arguably the smartest laptop purchase to make if you want a machine that stays relevant for the next 5 to 6 years, look at what I upgraded from: Gigabyte’s Aero 15. Five years ago, I grabbed that machine on a deep clearance sale. At the time, buyers were chasing spec-sheet hype, while I looked strictly at sustained power-per-dollar. The Aero 15 delivered an exceptional factory-calibrated 4K OLED, solid silicon, and great thermals for a creator chassis. It held up remarkably well, but after half a decade, this OMEN 16 proved to be the worthy successor. Why is this specific OMEN 16 configuration one you shouldn't overlook? Desktop-Class CPU Muscle: Instead of a heavily throttled thin-and-light mobile chip, this processor delivers roughly 90% of genuine desktop performance—rare for a laptop without requiring a 10-pound chassis. Max-TGP Mobile GPU: The GPU runs fully unlocked. At full TGP, you get sustained, flat boost clocks over hours of heavy rendering or gaming rather than a 15-minute burst followed by thermal throttling. Fluid 2.5K OLED Display: While the Aero 15's 4K panel remains king for pure pixel density in static print/creative work, this 2.5K OLED display is a night-and-day upgrade for motion. High-refresh fluidity combined with instantaneous OLED response times completely eliminates ghosting. Redesigned Tempest Cooling: HP resolved previous thermal limitations here. The dual high-airflow fans and wide fin stacks keep sustained temperatures in check and acoustics at a deep, manageable whoosh rather than a shrill jet engine. Easy Serviceability & Upgrades: Both RAM slots are fully accessible (I swapped in 32GB of TeamGroup DDR5-5600 without issue). The primary drive was swapped for a 2TB WD Black, and HP includes a secondary M.2 slot for expansion—just note that the secondary bay requires a compact M.2 2230 drive rather than a standard full-length 2280 stick. The Takeaway: Too many buyers drop $3,000 to $4,000 on flagship "halo" laptops that look incredible on paper, only to end up with a noisy space heater that thermal-throttles the second the heat pipes saturate. Cramming uncapped flagship silicon into cramped chassis creates diminishing returns. When this OMEN 16 dropped from $2,200 down to $1,400, it was an absolute steal. If you can catch this chassis on a major sale, jump on it. It gives you all the real-world stability, sustained rendering performance, and high-refresh gaming you need without burning a hole through your desk. Pros: Genuine desktop-class sustained performance without thermal throttling. Gorgeous 2.5K high-refresh OLED panel with zero motion smear. Runs stable and surprisingly quiet under sustained workloads (3D rendering, Unity game development, 4K editing, modern gaming, and even visual effects apps). OMEN Gaming Hub's core hardware controls (MUX switch, fan curves, TGP performance modes) are genuinely useful. User-upgradable DDR5 RAM and primary NVMe storage. Cons: Secondary M.2 internal storage slot is restricted to the shorter 2230 form factor. OMEN Gaming Hub has some unnecessary bloat modules (clean up the optimizer and social tabs to keep it lean).

Hyper x - Haper x working well so far and is very fast absolutely like it

Good laptop for what i need - Overall the laptop is a beast, the screen look amazing but battery life isnt the best but overall the laptop is amazing

Bought for my son - He let me try it out the other day amazing it was super fast!! I was impressed.

Fast Not Perfect - Very fast machine with a beautiful OLED screen, but 3 main issues for me: 1. Only 1 stick of DDR5 so only single-channel performance. 2. Very heavy 3. Battery Guzzler You could (and should) add a stick of 16GB DDR5 later when RAM prices fall, and if you're mainly going to use this laptop in a static environment rather than a truly portable manner then that should mitigate points 2 & 3.

Love it - Replaced my 5yo alienware and its been running my workload perfectly

Absolute powerhouse - I run AutoCAD and Solidworks from this computer and it is an absolute breeze to work with

pretty good for a gaming laptop - Runs much smoother than I thought. The battery dies fairly quick when it’s not plugged in but it makes sense given how heavy UE5 games are. Definitely happy with the purchase tho and would recommend.

Real Life View - The OLED is great! Brings everything to life. It is GREAT!!!

Super awesome laptop - Not much to say. It exceeds expectations in every way!

Great Laptop - Does what I need. It's a little on the bulky side but I got it at a great price!

Great pre built - This laptop always goes on sale too insane prices like 1350 is what mine was priced at. Like WHAT. Not going to find a better laptop for that price. This thing is a BEAST! It even has been handling wardogs. Not insanely well. But every other game is at max setting for graphics! Perfect size as well and with the oled screen it looks amazing with the refresh rate keeping up for competitive gaming even. Over all I love it but I do with I went with a higher ssd. But I just decided to buy a 2tb ssd today to install in it! So only thing to upgrade as soon as possible was the ssd! And next will be the ram but I’m not rushing for that! Even tho 32g ram would be nice!

This thing is a BEAST! - I've had it about a month now and I absolutely love it! Runs circles around my gaming desktop PC from just a few years ago. I don't even have to think about lowering the graphics for any game. Fantastic value and gorgeous OLED. Very happy!

Overall - I really like my computer. The graphics, short cuts, it doesn’t overheat the computer with big downloaded games, games runs really good, I love how the camera has a cover. I’m able to download 6 games from steam and private servers. It’s good for work. Only thing is the battery dies fast but doesn’t bother me because it’s stationed where I want it with the charger.

Omen HyperX Laptop - For my purposes, it exceeds the requirements, and is an excellent laptop. Battery life is the only downside, but that is expected with gaming laptops, especially with a GTX 5060. It's going to pull power for sure. The quality of the screen is top notch. Have completed all my work tasks with it, as well as tested various games I run on my desktop and there are no issues. Was a hair more expensive than the Alienware, and even though it has only 512GB storage, you can fit anything you need practically speaking on this and it will handle it just fine. Overall, it is perfect for what it was designed to do, and then some!

I like it - Had it for a few weeks so far its doing great. Only played a couple games so far. Main game I'm play is crimson desert and it has no isses on highest graphic settings. Its a decent gaming laptop

Pretty Solid - Its my first gaming laptop so I probably don't know too much the experiences like others. But I will say I got this since my Cs+Design major needed me to have a capable device with many requirements and this laptop clears it all. I have Godot, blender, some games, krita drawing software, and Adobe creative cloud and it it all runs great even if I have many tabs open for my classes and whatnot! My only complaint is that it does burn through its battery life fast so keeping it plugged while gaming or working on school stuff is reccomended and without a charger it lasts for about 2-3 hours. Its a lot bigger than I expected and sort of heavy at first but its reliable so far.
