The 16" OMEN 16-an0000nr Slim Gaming Laptop from HP is thinner than its predecessor, but uses updated components and has the proper thermals to keep it running cool. When paired with OMEN AI for maximum fps at the click of a button and Unleashed Mode for an extra boost in performance, you have a reliable and powerful laptop. Driven by an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H 16-Core processor, the OMEN 16-an0000nr also features 16GB of 5600 MHz DDR5 memory, which comes in a 2 x 8GB configuration. Its 16" anti-glare IPS display is driven by dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 graphics with 8GB of GDDR7 video memory and displays 1920 x 1200 video with 400 nits of brightness, 100% sRGB gamut coverage, and a refresh rate of 60 to 165 Hz with a 3 ms response time for smooth motion.
The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is the most critical component, followed closely by a high refresh rate display. Pay attention to the GPU's Wattage (TGP), as lower wattage versions perform drastically worse. Available from $1,049.
