Buying call

Buy the Omen Max 16 if you want strong gaming performance with a great screen: reviewers praised its 240Hz OLED, premium chassis, PCIe 5.0 SSD, user-upgradable memory and powerful sound. Skip it if you carry your laptop daily, because it's one of the heavier 16-inch gaming laptops and its battery runs out fast. One review found its top configuration overpriced for the performance.
