HP OMEN MAX 16

Pros

• I have this exact Omen Max 16 config and really love it. Getting Macbook battery life (no joke with that Ryzen AI 7 350 if you disable the dGPU) and I love that it's not a reflective OLED.
• I'd take the Omen - the extra RAM will save you a small fortune on buying it separately at the moment, and there's a notable graphics performance jump with the RTX 5070 TI, plus extra VRAM that will make a big difference in the future.
• The Omen, since display and battery are irrelevant. Strongest GPU by 20-25%, rear ports (I hate that they’ve made the side port changes on the Legion too), Ryzen 9 HX 375 is NOT a weak CPU... GPU headroom buys you years of relevance, and...
• The 5080 on the Omen is better.
• Overall id say the legion is better cause of the screen. But omen has the better gpu so that's also a good shout. Between those two, pick according to your priority better screen or better gpu.

• HP OMEN MAX 16 ($1,900) | Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 | RTX 5080 | 32GB RAM... has the RTX 5080, which crushes the others in raw performance. HOWEVER, it has the weakest processor of the bunch (Ryzen AI 9 HX 375). Since Cities Skylines 2 hogs CPU...
• I had the HP Omen Max 16 (on sale) and the ASUS TUF A14 in mind. However I read both have issues. One has lots of thermal problems.
• Even got a free wireless mouse tho it looks hideous
• I would go for Lenovo Legion Pro 5i or Acer Predator Helios Neos 16 or HP Omen MAX 16
