The OMEN MAX Gaming Laptop 16-ah0097nr 16″, Windows 11 Home, Intel Core Ultra 9, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, WQXGA, Shadow black is on sale right now for $2,099.99, which is $1,200 off the regular price. For a high-end gaming laptop with this kind of hardware, that discount is pretty strong. If you have been waiting to jump to a newer Intel Core Ultra chip and the RTX 50 series, this is the kind of deal you look for so you do not pay full launch pricing. You are getting a machine that is aimed at top tier gaming and heavy work, but at a price that is closer to what mid to upper mid range systems usually go for.
On the performance side, the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX is a 24-core, 24-thread processor that can boost up to 5.4 GHz. That is more than enough for current AAA games, but it is also very good if you stream, edit video, or run a bunch of apps at once. Paired with 32GB of RAM, you will not be fighting the system when you have Chrome, Discord, a game, and maybe some editing software open. The 1TB SSD gives you solid room for a good library of games plus your regular files without needing to plug in an external drive right away. For most people, this setup lets you install your main rotation of big titles like Call of Duty, Cyberpunk, or Starfield without constantly deleting things.
The graphics side is the real draw here. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU with 16GB of GDDR7 is built for high frame rates at higher settings, and it is ready for features like ray tracing and DLSS in newer games. If you are coming from something like a 20 or 30 series card, you are going to see a big jump in both frames and visual quality. That pairs well with the 16-inch WQXGA display at 2560 x 1600. The screen runs between 60 and 240 Hz, with a 3 ms response time, so you can enjoy smoother motion in shooters and racers. With 500 nits of brightness and 100% sRGB, the screen is also a good fit if you do photo or video work and care about color, or you just like your games and movies to look sharp and bright. The anti-glare coating and Low Blue Light design help make it easier to use for long sessions without as much eye strain, which you will notice if you play or work for hours at a time.
Since this is a gaming laptop, the 16-inch size and Shadow black look hit a nice balance. It is big enough to feel like a main system at a desk, but still portable enough to move around the house or take to a friend’s place or a dorm. Windows 11 Home is already installed, so you can log in, update your drivers, install Steam, Game Pass, or whatever you use, and start playing. If you want a laptop that will handle current games on high or ultra for years, while also being strong for editing, school, or work projects, this OMEN MAX build checks those boxes. At $2,099.99 with $1,200 off, you are getting high-end specs that you would normally see at a much higher price, which makes it a good time to grab it instead of waiting for the next small sale.
