Black Friday is officially here, and I've found some stellar HP Omen Max 16 deals to kick it off
Ring the bells, because Black Friday has finally arrived, and that means there's plenty of deals to highlight: it starts with one of the best gaming laptops, as the HP Omen Max 16 is on Newegg for $1,899.99 (was $3,099.99), with a huge $1,200 price drop, thanks to a generous 38% discount.
You aren't left out, UK folks: the HP Omen Max 16 is on HP's store for £2,499 (was £2,999.99), with a £500.99 price drop.

Both HP Omen Max 16 models share the same Nvidia RTX 5080 laptop GPU, ready to provide power for great performance in the most demanding games today, like Cyberpunk 2077 or Black Myth Wukong. With a fast 240Hz refresh rate and 2560x1600 display resolution, high-quality gaming lies ahead with this gaming laptop.

The HP Omen Max 16 is one of the best gaming laptops currently available on the market, with its RTX 5080 GPU leading the charge for fantastic performance at a 1600p resolution. It's further helped by the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375, one of the most powerful processors, which is capable of running games thanks to the Radeon 890M integrated GPU, but is ready to help with productivity.

Powered by an Nvidia RTX 5080 laptop GPU, the HP Omen Max 16 is the gaming laptop that you need for high-end gaming performance this Black Friday. This system will be able to run pretty much everything thrown at it, especially since DLSS 4 upscaling technology can come in handy for demanding or poorly optimized titles.
While both deals still place pricing over $1,000 / £1,000, considering the hardware available, there isn't much to complain about here, as it's quite literally one of the only steps behind an RTX 5090 gaming laptop.
You'll have a great time diving into games and taking advantage of maximum graphics settings, and utilizing DLSS 4 to either boost frame rates via Multi Frame Generation or maintain sharp image quality using super resolution modes.
It's rare to find such monumental deals in a period of uncertainty regarding PC hardware, with price hikes on GPUs, SSDs, and, more specifically, RAM.
I'm expecting prices for pre-built gaming PCs and laptops to surge significantly post Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so now might be the only chance to get your hands on a high-end system without overspending.
