it's a bad Omen to buy this.
Omen to that.
For just $400 more you, can get double the ram and storage.

Still a bad omen tho
Agree, but if I spend 5k on this configuration and realise that I cod have doubled ram and ssd for that little, I'd be pissed off
Send a promotion of 5080
You could use that money to buy a 5090 desktop from techfast, much better performance than this laptop.
Thanks man, surely I can bring this to my Asia holiday on my backpack.
Check in 4tw.
Why game on your holiday instead of seeing the sights and attractions
And in the case of a holiday to see family, spend the limited time you have connecting with your family members?
Nah, I'd rather game. But thanks for the suggestions.
@Crono: save the money and don't go to Asia at that point. It would still be considerably cheaper to buy a PC handheld for traveling and a fully specced Desktop for home use
@Crono: Legitimate question, why bother going to a destination outside of the country if you're plan is to game when you get there?
I assume your time on your holiday is limited, you've spent a considerable amount of time and money to get there and the point of going somewhere different would be to see the sights and explore the culture a little?
Unless of course this is a family holiday which you have no option in attending, and given the option you would have stayed at home and just video games anyway?
@Slipstream: Because during a vacation, inevitably you will have down time- during flights, airport transfers, bad weather keeping you in the hotel, at night time etc etc. Or you just simply choose to have a break day and just relax during your stay. Especially if you take long holidays; we sometime spend multiple months on vacation, in which case there's plenty of time to sneak in some gaming sesh. God forbid people do what THEY enjoy during THEIR vacation.
@Crono: Hey my friend, no judgement here just genuinely curious.
I travel extensively myself (just got back from 6.5 weeks in Europe in fact) if your enjoyment involves being inside on the computer then more power too you, it's just very outside of the realm of reality that i travel for.
My question was asked from trying to understand far more than any sort of negative appraisal of your choice, just wanted to know the why.
Have a good one :)
How to say you're not a gamer, without saying you're not a gamer.
In that case, it's much better to have virtual holiday on much larger desktop+ screen & save on wasted "holiday travel" ;)
Nah, I'll bring my desktop from techfast with me….. On my backpack.
Needs a "must be used on a desk" warning. I can feel my testicles getting singed from here!
Maybe they sell HP Omen branded sports cup for your convenience
You are right, it was a 5070 TI, my mistake. Unpublished my comment.
AMD AI MAX+ 395 makes much better sense than this Intel CPU. What a shame, swing and a miss. Get up to 128GB of way faster RAM. Add the 5090 and you have a real beast.
The BOM cost of the strix halo series is much higher.
It has the capability of a top notch cpu plus a dgpu, and it is priced like that
Intel 275HX is significantly better than the AMD 395. In both power and efficiency. Intel also has added benefits of Thunderbolt ports
Identical performance
Identical performance when output 10inch monitor or less
Umm, this is a terrible deal. Surely you're trolling op?
I still can't believe the 5090 is worse than the 4090.
It's not worse, it's mostly just slightly better. The problem was the driver not allowing 175w to the GPU and most games were only hitting 160w. With latest drivers, it gets to 170w, but still not the advertised 175w.
The issue is the performance gain doesn't justify the price difference of laptops between 4090 and 5090 variants. That being said 40 series chips are no longer being made so you are forced to buy 50 series laptops.
Less than 5% increase in most games and more than 50% decrease in old PhysX games
Don't have to use PhysX in those older games though, so you've lost a visual flair in some older games.
@Guybrush57: For those specific games when using PhysX, you didn't Asterix what you said, it was just a blanket statement. How do modern systems do running DOS games without a full system emulator like DosBOX, or old Windows 95 games on Windows 11, or PS3 games on a PS5? Alien Trilogy (1996) doesn't run natively on the RTX 4090, so clearly the 4090 is inferior to the Riva 128. Old technology gets dropped.
Have you seen that some people have paired an RTX 5090 with an RTX 3050? The RTX 3050 runs the PhysX 32-bit part of the game, back to how PhysX technology started, as an add on card.
@Guybrush57: Where did I suggest it? Please don't make up lies. I missed out the word desktop, I found it of interest, not as a suggestion at all. Saying that, I bet you could use a RTX 3050 over Thunderbolt, that isn't a suggestion, just a point of interest.
@Guybrush57: seriously though, how are you playing your original Monkey Island floppies on a modern machine? You’re not. Old tech gets dropped, floppy disks and DOS support are gone, the whole Win9x platform is gone, and physical media like CDs, DVDs, and even Blu‑ray are fading fast. 3DFX cards aren’t supported anymore, DirectDraw has been abandoned, and honestly, it’s only a matter of time before OpenGL goes the same way.
That’s not a tragedy, it’s just how tech evolves. RTX dropping 32‑bit PhysX is nothing new; it’s history repeating itself. The last big game to use 32-bit only PhysX is about a decade old. NVIDIA introduced 64-bit PhysX back in 2011, and their last 32-bit PhysX SDK was released in 2010, so they're retiring tech that has been obsolete for 15 years. PhysX, isn't even required to play those games, its an optional visual flourish.
@FabMan: Dropping of old tech standards brings about new tech and performance. 5090 dropped a feature whilst adding nothing except 3x/4x frame gen which isn't anything to write home about.
@Guybrush57: "Dropping of old tech standards brings about new tech and performance. "
That isn't how it works, who says that is how it works? The 64-bit PhysX has been around since 2011, that is the new tech. Had Arkham Knight had supported the 4 year old tech when it was released, or get updated later with it, it would still run fantastically well on the 5000 series and above while using PhysX. A high profile game using 32-bit only PhysX hasn't been made after Arkham Knight was released 10 years ago, it is dead tech.
They didn't immediately drop 3DFX for OpenGL or DirectX, both had been around for a while, 3DFX support was killed off. Vulkan has been around since 2016, it isn't brand new tech, when they drop OpenGL that was last updated in 2017, it won't be for brand new tech, it is just to drop support for obsolete tech.
@Guybrush57: Move on with your desire to keep old tech, it is obsolete. Oh why bother, I assume you have a floppy disk drive in your laptop too.
@Guybrush57: "desktop"
You're in the comment thread for a laptop deal, friend.
Despite throwing your own petty comment back at you, I can understand why you might have done that so long after they were out of use. I still have a USB floppy drive in a cupboard myself, I haven't needed it yet. Its just part of being old and not willing to give up the past so easily.
@FabMan: It was a modern day cutting edge desktop with the last motherboard released to support a floppy drive so why not? It didn't hinder performance.
Doesn't change the fact the 5090 laptop GPU is a poor "upgrade".
@Guybrush57: Hmmm, 2012, that was pretty late in the game to support FDC on a motherboard. Most manufacturers dropped it before 2010, my 2011 ASUS P7P55D-E PRO didn't have it. I guess there is always a few workstation / server manufacturers offering some obscure features, like some systems offering AGP much later than most.
I think the only a 5% improvement for a new generation is a more significant negative than the downgrade in visual flair for few old games when using obsolete technology.
@FabMan: ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Professional
I wanted to build a machine that could play all the latest games yet still boot into old versions of Windows and run 16-bit stuff using old hardware peripherals. Fun project. I managed to install Windows XP, 98, 95, and even 3.11 with mouse movement from memory.
The project reached a dead end when the CPU was too fast for some software and my RAM was identified as being low even though it wasn't. My PS/2 splitter didn't allow both a keyboard and mouse to work in the single dual plug which was disappointing. I also had 3.5" & 5.25" floppy drives connected to a special dual ribbon cable but the motherboard BIOS was only written with a singular 3.5" in mind. Still, it was fun booting Windows 10 when it released and hearing the crunch of my floppy drive (Still showed up as A: drive and was functional) and WD Velociraptor drives.
I remember one use case I got out of it was buying a WD Velociraptor DUO (two drives in RAID) external drive MAC edition and finding some specialised floppy-only HP formatting software that allowed me to zero both drives and reformat them to Windows which Windows was unable to do itself. I think from memory the software could not be placed on a bootable USB, as unusual as that sounds.
I desperately searched everywhere for a SoundBlaster card in PCI form but they seemed to either be vapouware or as rare as hen's teeth (with potential compatibility issues too).
@Guybrush57: Mental, I love it. Crunchy floppy disk sounds with Windows 10 sounds funny. So if, you have Win9x, you have DOS. Warcraft 2 must move faster than the eye could tell. What GPU did you use, did modern ones work on DOS / Win9x? I thought some old DOS tech was dropped around the 2006 period, hard to remember.
Since I read your post I've just been researching modern-retro PCs. What have you done to me!? I'm curious as to what the latest motherboard you could have, that could have the clock ratio downgrade enough to work with old software, but could run at faster speeds to be used as a modern PC too. Looks like emulation is the best for old systems on the latest modern hardware, but maybe around the period you was working on was the last of the systems that could work with old hardware / software.
This might be perfect to make lunchtime fried eggs? or fried meat balls with that.
don't be silly - don't want to burn and waste eggs
5090 money for 5070 performance, what a steal!
Will this play video games good? I want game in good quality.
yes if you want to play on a laptop, it is the best GPU on a laptop. The laptop version is not as good as the desktop version.
The Laptop 5090 is a 5080 equivalent Desktop chip!
It has 10496 cores instead of 21760 cores and is clocked at 1515 MHz instead of 2407 MHz.
This results in the Laptop card only having 30.3% of the performance of a 5090.
I'd only buy it over the 5080 model if the extra 8gb of VRAM (Totalling 24GB) is necessary for your work.

It's the same situation in 4090 mobile and desktop why so surprised
Surprised that OP is using the 5090 desktop as a comparison when it's 30% of the performance…
did you checked the link I put? is the desktop one only $100 higher? in the link I pit the laptop $5090 is $100 higher.
I hope if has more than 12 month warranty? Usually the GPU BGA solder dies on them over time. I guess you can use ACL after 12 months if there any issues factoring the cost vs time ratio.
Hp are a joke took 11 business days to send my laptop after last deal
*5070Ti model
I'm half tempted in the 5070ti model on sale for $3200

What are other opinion's on this one? Or should I wait for Lenovo legion to go on sale?
Is Lenovo legion better then the HP omen max?
5090 in name only, nvidia dirty marketing propaganda to deceive enthusiasts. Just get a real 5090
Is it possible to connect a 5090 to a laptop and use the laptops own screen still or do you have to connect it up to an external display too?
Question is whether you can get this for work and tax deduct.
Thermally throttled to death with that chassis
