The HP OMEN MAX 16 ah0002TX pairs a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with an RTX 5070 Ti 12GB GPU and a fast 16 inch 2.5K display at 240Hz, built for serious gamers who want flagship-tier performance and genuinely modern connectivity.

Display

The 16 inch 2.5K (2560 x 1600) IPS display runs at a fast 240Hz with variable refresh rate support and a 3ms response time. It reaches 500 nits of brightness with 100 percent sRGB coverage, an ultra-narrow border, DC dimming, and low blue light certification, keeping fast games smooth while staying comfortable for longer sessions.

Gaming Performance

At the core is the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, a 24 core, 24 thread chip boosting up to 5.4GHz with a substantial 76MB of combined L2 and L3 cache. Paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 12GB GDDR7 GPU, this combination comfortably handles the latest AAA titles at high settings and native 2.5K resolution. 32GB of DDR5-5600 RAM (2 x 16GB) keeps heavy multitasking effortless, and the 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD offers fast load times.

Battery, Ports and Connectivity

An 83Whr battery paired with a substantial 330W adapter reflects this system’s flagship-level power demands. Connectivity is genuinely comprehensive, with two Thunderbolt 4 ports supporting 40Gbps USB-C data, two USB-A 10Gbps ports (one with sleep-and-charge support), HDMI 2.1, and an RJ-45 Ethernet port. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 keep this model current on the latest wireless standards, a step ahead of the other OMEN models in this lineup.

Design, Audio and Build

The full-size, Shadow Black keyboard includes a numeric keypad, RGB backlighting, and NKRO anti-ghosting technology for competitive play. Audio combines HyperX and DTS:X Ultra dual audio tuning through dual speakers with HP Audio Boost. At 2.7kg, it carries a reasonable weight for the flagship hardware it houses.
