Best Buy is selling the HP OMEN 16 gaming laptop for $1,499.99, a discount of $800 from its listed comparable value of $2,299.99.
The laptop, model 16-ap1023dx, is currently listed on Best Buy's website with an 'Add to Cart' button for immediate shipping. The retailer's reference price for this configuration is $2,299.99, making the current offer a discount of $800.
The device is powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 laptop GPU with 8GB of GDDR7 memory. It also includes 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD for storage.
The standout feature is the 16-inch OLED panel with a 2560 x 1600 resolution and a refresh rate of up to 165Hz. This 16:10 aspect ratio provides more vertical space than standard 16:9 displays, and OLED technology offers deep blacks for a better visual experience.
Performance and battery life
The RTX 5060 GPU is designed for demanding games, though performance may vary based on settings and power mode. The 1TB SSD provides ample space for games, though some capacity will be used by Windows and pre-installed software.
The laptop includes HDMI 2.1, Ethernet, three USB-A ports, and a USB-C port with DisplayPort support. HP estimates the battery life to be up to 2 hours and 45 minutes in mixed use, which may be a consideration for users who need to work away from an outlet.
Buying considerations
This deal is best suited for gamers who prioritize the OLED display alongside high-performance hardware. Buyers should verify the model and seller in their cart, as the listing may also show open-box or third-party offers.
Price and availability may change, so it is advisable to check the current status before purchasing. The laptop weighs 5.47 pounds, which is a standard weight for a gaming device of this size.
