HP starts the year strong by giving its EliteBook series an AI boost alongside the new OmniStudio X, which could dominate the all-in-one space.

HP only has one all-new laptop in its Omen gaming line to show off at CES 2025, but it looks like a doozy because the company claims it’s the most powerful 16-inch notebook it has ever made. The Omen Max 16 looks like HP took a standard Omen 16 (which is retaining the same design but getting refreshed with new components for 2025) and then crammed in as many high-end components as it could.

HP is sprucing up its Omen gaming brand with new iterations of its flagship Omen 16 laptop—featuring fresh silicon from AMD, Intel, and Nvidia—plus an appealing compact tower, the Omen 16L.

Each time CES rolls around, it's fair to say that big laptop makers like HP don't exactly hold back – this is the perfect opportunity to throw a whole heap of laptops out into the world. It can also be a little challenging to sift through for devices that haven't actually been mentioned before, which is exactly what I've been doing.

The feast for your eyes starts with its up to 16-inch 240Hz FHD (2560 x 1600) 500-nit OLED anti-glare display. Combining desktop performance and the convenient portability of a laptop, the HP Omen 16 Max can be configured with up to the latest AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 or Intel Core UItra 9 275HX CPU.

The final price including shipping (but before taxes) should be $1,209.99

HP is updating its Omen gaming lineup with two 16-inch laptops, a compact 16L desktop, and a lower-end Victus that now comes in three colors, including pink.

HP just announced the latest Omen Max 16 gaming laptop, a next-generation machine with the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 and AMD Ryzen AI 9 processors, up to 64GB RAM, and RTX 50-Series graphics cards. But I'm more interested in the cooling system.
