HP is currently offering the lowest price we've seen for a gaming laptop equipped with an RTX 5080, with the new 2025 Omen Max 16. You can snag a highly specced model for just $2,609.99 after applying the coupon code "**PC10DEAL**" at checkout. This is the only RTX 5080 laptop available under $3,000 that I've come across. The Omen Max 16 is HP's latest gaming laptop, succeeding the discontinued HP Omen 16, and features an enhanced cooling system to support its powerful hardware.
To get the configuration mentioned, follow these steps:
The HP Omen Max 16 is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, which reaches a max turbo frequency of 5.4GHz with 24 cores and 40MB of total L2 cache. According to Passmark, this is the fastest laptop processor available, boasting a 7% lead over the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D.
Tom's Hardware reports that the RTX 5080 mobile GPU is approximately 15%-20% more powerful than the RTX 4080 it replaces, and even 5% more powerful than the RTX 4090, the flagship card of the previous generation. It's also a better value than the pricier RTX 5090, lagging only by about 15% despite a nearly $1,000 price difference. With the Alienware Area-51 using a QHD+ (2560x1600) display rather than 4K, the RTX 5080 should handle new and upcoming games at high frame rates, especially with DLSS 4 support.
Razer's 2025 lineup of Razer Blade 16 and Razer Blade 18 gaming laptops are now shipping, exclusively available at Razer.com and Razer stores. The Razer Blade 16 starts at $2,999.99 for the RTX 5070 Ti model, $3,499.99 for the RTX 5080 model, and $4,499.99 for the RTX 5090 model.
Razer Blade laptops are renowned for their superior build quality, crafted from a single piece of aluminum, making them remarkably thin and light for gaming laptops. Razer's proprietary cooling design, featuring a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled, copper vapor chamber, effectively manages heat, allowing for such a slim profile. Much like the Apple MacBook Pros, Razer Blade laptops are engineered with precision, justifying their premium pricing compared to other mainstream brands.
