Didn't see the 5070 variants listed, and it's a fair bit "cheaper" than the 5080 offerings. Of course, in the current state of the gaming laptop market, it still feels exorbitant, but there aren't that many alternatives at the moment if you are looking to upgrade (tried fishing for a similar offering via chat with lenovo and no dice). Post will be a bit messy but

This is the OLED + Intel variant (it's only this variant - intel - that has the RGB light bar for that extra gamer fps to my understanding), with the AMD + IPS variant being available for a lot cheaper

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/365613370073

Comes down to instead $2,879.2

The difference between the 275HX and the HX375 is arguably not that significant (gaming performance), but the difference between the IPS (AMD) and OLED (Intel) panels IS (though whether that's worth the $320 price difference is a matter of personal opinion).

There is also an option to buy a 24gb Ram variant of the AMD + IPS model for $80 cheaper, but my understanding of the Omen Max 16 is that there are only two RAM slots, so that's not much of a "saving" if any at all at the end of the day if you upgrade to 32gb's. Of else to note is that as per the omen tear down/jarrod's video, for the 5070 ti + models the primary SSD slot and wifi card are behind the heat sink/cooling system and would require them to be removed and potentially repasted (the secondary SSD slot, is however straight up accessible).

Of course, as with any purchase, make sure to weigh your options (since the 5080 variant also has a post up - though that is the AMD + IPS variant for $3,519.20) and don't buy what you don't need (or do so, I'm not your parent). Personally, I'm on the verge of ordering one myself as I'd like a beefier choice whilst in bed, just trying to justify the price somehow (lol). Below is just a more digestible comparison:

AMD HX375 + IPS screen+ 5080 = $3,519.20
AMD HX375 + IPS screen + 5070 TI = $2,879.20
Everything else being the same, its an extra $640 to go from the 5070TI to 5080. You can search around for paper performance comparisons between the 5070TI 12gb vs 5080 16gb, unfortunately there are not many actual reviews of the 5070 TI variants.

INTEL Ultra 9 275HX + OLED screen + 5070 TI = $3,199.20

Edit.

Aite couldn't resist and ended up digging around for some discounted ebay gift cards to get it, ended up costing just over 3.1k. Now I won't have to stalk gaming laptop deals for a few years.

Edit 2.

Was checking my ebay page, and the code for the discount is listed to end on 01/08/25. So if you are still on the fence, then be sure to make up your mind quickly, or just let it expire and save yourself some cash lol.

      Thanks for sharing why, and or offering better alternatives

      I would agree if you said it wasn't cheap or a good value proposition, but if all you do is keep saying it's a bad deal because you can't justify the value proposition whilst also being unable to provide alternatives to "good" deals for the same specs at a better price point.. well what's the point? No one looking to buy a gaming laptop in this tier is coming in expecting to get it cheaper than something like a desktop build or previous gen deals that are no longer in stock (e.g. the HP Omen 4090 is essentially never in stock when there's a sale on HP's outlet store).The reality is that if you want something slightly portable with beefier specs, you're expecting to pay more, and at the moment there aren't many of such deals around.

        Pretty sure the guy is a troll, if people were to list unobtanium deals, everything else will seem bad.

          Bad deal is a deal I wouldn't recommend my mate to spend on, including this one for $3.2k

          I mean, it's not a good deal. It's not a mid deal either. It's just "a deal." An opportunistic deal so that one can say "well where's the better option at this point in time?"

        Look, I'd really like to make an essay everytime I comment but I comment rapidly across multiple products.

        Usually when I say it's a bad deal. It's stemming from one of the following:

        1. Raw absolute value for the price comparative to actual good deals

        2. Relative value for the price comparative to actual good deals

        With the 275HX and 32GB you might think dropping $3.2k for the RTX 5070 Ti might be a good deal, but when you consider historical RTX 4080 deals when the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is really what the RTX 5070 Mobile

        Yeah, I know I know "bUt aRe tHosE dEaLs On rIghT nOw?" What do you want me to say? It's not a good deal. It's not even a mid deal. It's an opportunistic deal at most.

        • Kazusa on 29/07/2025 - 12:16

          If you’re so good at finding “good deals” try posting them :)

            @Kazusa: Great logic bro. For one, I say both "good deal" and "bad deal." When I say "good deal," should I post "bad deals" too? Same faulty logic.

          This makes even less sense, you are comparing models that haven't seen a deal posted for almost 6 months.

          In terms of raw absolute value, then the actual raw performance (no "fake" frames) of the 4080 is negligibly higher than the 5070 ti on paper. The difference between the CPU however is massive. As is the screen and updated build quality, with them fundamentally being different (17 inch old chasis vs 16 inch newer chasis).

          You didn't answer the question or provide a better alternative, you listed a deal that is no longer available, hasn't seen a new post of in almost 6 months, and then tried to use sarcasm as if everyone that has responded to you is an idiot. Are you good mate?

          If your issue is that you are unable to give us plebians a proper constructive answer because you feel compelled to make quick drive by comments in every thread, then just stop doing that?

            Also,

The difference between the CPU however is massive. As is the screen and updated build quality, with them fundamentally being different (17 inch old chasis vs 16 inch newer chasis).

            I mean no shit it's going to be newer and the CPU is going to be more powerful. My "sense" is that you could've made the same argument from 3000 to 4000 series. But fact is, the deals are roughly proportional.

            If your issue is that you are unable to give us plebians a proper constructive answer because you feel compelled to make quick drive by comments in every thread, then just stop doing that?

            Yep, definitely missed

              @marshmall0w2: Again, you didn't reply with anything substantive or of value. It's a deal because there is a lack of alternatives. It was never stated that the deals are great value (if there's a choice, then no shit people would go for something cheaper). The issue is availability and the lack of choice, and because of that if someone needs/wants to upgrade then this may be a deal to them. You don't seem capable of getting this through your noggin.

              If someone needed car that lasted X miles, and the price of said car went up, then you came into each and every thread that posted a similar deal saying it was not a deal, because several months ago you found a deal on a similarly spec'd car that was cheaper, then it serves no damn purpose. We know there's been cheaper, but we don't have access to those deals NOW.

              Either stop commenting like this for something obvious or build a time machine so that the rest of us can take advantage of these deals you keep referencing.

                You don't seem capable of getting this through your noggin.

                Wild how you say this but don't understand the point that I just made, which is that I use 2 main criteria:

                1. Absolute value for the price

                2. Relative value for the price

                And that I mentioned it's an "opportunistic deal" in that there are no other deals at the moment. This deal is just that. A deal. A bad deal.

                I've already linked historical values against a similarly spec'ed machine and what to expect for a deal to be considered "good."

          Honestly, then don't comment. Either say why something is bad or just don't make essentially unhelpful comments.

          And worse, don't compare deals which are 6 months out of date and use a different generation of CPU.

    I purchased the previous model of the HP Omen 16 last year for an offer price of $2400, but its motherboard failed in less than 14 months. Despite my ongoing efforts to resolve this with HP, the process has been protracted, leaving me without a laptop for over six weeks (still waiting to be resolved). I am sharing this experience as I had anticipated a decent quality laptop for nearly $2,500, and I now regret my purchase.

    • Dune on 29/07/2025 - 12:51

      I think it is not just HP. I bought a Dell gaming G15 laptop and it failed in less than 2 years, graphic card burned up. My Asus Strix G15 also had unexplainable random shutdowns. If one is to commit to buy an expensive laptop these days, I would spend some more money buying extra warranty. For HP laptop around 2000 dollars, I believe the usual warranty for 2 more years costs around $175. Might be very worth it.

    • GachaGamer on 29/07/2025 - 16:44

      Unfortunate to hear, but I will note that my understanding is this is a newer chasis given you said you purchased it last year and this is their newer flagship model. Since it failed within that time frame, you should've been able to ask them for a replacement given our consumer laws. In terms of personal anecdote, my oldest still working gaming laptop would be the MSI GT63 Titan, which I purchased for 2.5k ex display, and still works to this day without issue. So, I've had pretty good experience in keeping/maintaining my own gaming laptops.

      • Dune on 29/07/2025 - 17:21

        I didn’t mention it but I have got a 5 year warranty for that Dell. It has just expired. During these 5 years, motherboard, screen, keyboard were replaced. It is still running. For the Asus, the service centre had the audacity to give it back to me and said there was nothing wrong with it. Eventually figured out that as long as I don’t move the laptop around, it actually doesn’t shutdown randomly. Must be a loose connection of some sort. And to keep up with you, I do still have a 2005 Asus running windows XP and just used it to play Red Alert 2.

  • dazza826 on 30/07/2025 - 07:37

    Nothing wrong with the deal in the current market.
    Thanks for the post op.

    The laptop market sucks right now for good deals though based on historical offerings and the uplift of 50x over 40x GPUs and the phasing out of 40x from manufacturers especially 80x series on.

    If you find a deal with the specs you want and need a laptop now then pick it up and do less worrying about what price it was historically (unless you have a time machine)

    You have 2 options buy and have fun gaming/using your device otherwise wait and hodl and hope for a deal in the future if one ever comes.

    Its why I jumped on the 4090/13900hx refurb from hp when it was 2888.10 with a coupon.

    Sure its a refurb etc but in this market unlikely to ever see 4090 like performance for sub 3k again plus physx 32 bit works unlike 50 series (thenks Nvidia)

    • dazza826 on 30/07/2025 - 09:14

      Also worth mentioning that W11 24H2 and the HP bios does have undervolt protection on at least 13th series anyway.

      Underclocking of the core only can be done via omen game center so that's something.

    • h3blade on 30/07/2025 - 09:19

      2888 is very good price.

    I pulled the trigger on 32gb with hx375. OLED aint worth the extra imo especially when it’s docked 99% of the time. TRS also came in clutch too which brings it down even further.
