Professional Reviews
6 reviews from 6 critics“The user experience is so-so; it has a large 16-inch display that's well suited for multitasking, but the keyboard feels mushy and might take some time to get used to it.”
“Potent performance, vivid OLED visuals, and premium build quality make the HP Omen Max 16 a serious player in its category.”
“The HP Omen Max 16 offers good performance, stunning visuals and layered sound, but it’s a lot to lug around.”
“If you just want good bang-for-your-buck and don’t sweat the details, however, the HP Omen Max 16 is a solid pick.”
“HP is held back by its software more than anything else, but despite its keyboard, the Omen Max 16’s hardware—specifically, the Instant Pair feature with peripherals—is something every PC maker should look to emulate.”
