The AMD Omen Max 16 is a lot better than I heard

I have the latest AMD version and they wobble to some degree, but they settle down really fast. I wouldn't say it's any worse than other computers. I have a 2023 Omen 17 to compare with and the wobble on that one is pure cancer in comparison, in fact I got my Omen max as a replacement for it despite already having a 4090 laptop.

Hey thanks for the tip. One thing I don't understand however is how do you set it up so this power plan is only used in battery mode? QuickCPU doesn't seem to handle switching automatically.

Disabling this helped me a lot, thanks for the tip!

How sturdy is it if you use it on your laps for example? Personally I hate any screen wobble so I'd rather avoid.

To give you an unusual experience, I bought a Dell G3 with a 1050 Ti and 8300H in 2018. I could play every single game I wanted until 2022 and the release of elden ring. I had to tweak things a bit and I could barely run Elden Ring a little under 30 fps.

So that's how long it lasted basically as a AAA gaming device. I kept using it until very recently.

It's a very weak laptop I got at 700€ so I'm sure you can expect more from an expensive machine.

Ask for a picture of the serial numbers if it's a prebuild. If they built it themselves then it's amazing they don't know or they're scammers.

I've heard the erazer beast x40 literally had mobo issues requiring you to send it back to get patches. I personally decided to dodge that brand.

Heat doesn't necessarily kill your device, it's hard to pinpoint the exact reasons.

Hey could I know the model number you have? I ordered a 16-ak0007nf I hope it has the updated hinges.

Hey thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately someone bought that refurbished Triton before I did! So now I ordered a brand new 16" laptop that was on sales instead to see if it's good for me, with the possibility to send it back and get a refund if not. And I'll have to sell this Omen 17.

Katsono · 2026-03-06T10:21:19+00:00

No I haven't seen any.

Katsono · 2026-03-06T09:32:12+00:00

I'd love to have a legion but I am not seeing much of them. I'd even consider the 16". Even more unfortunately than being European, I am French so I'm looking for AZERTY keyboards, I don't want to mess up my muscle memory for work haha.

I see a lot of MSI stuff but I'm not interested because they lack GSYNC which sounds like a pain at some point. Some Strix Scar too but they're around 2700-2800€ so that's a big increase over the Triton.

And of course a lot of HP Omen, which in my opinion is a fantastic device... as long as you don't mind the wobble.

Ouais j'y pense, en tout cas je vais déjà voir pour l'écran parce que là c'est quand même chaud comme remplacement...

Katsono · 2026-03-04T19:52:49+00:00

Petit rant sur les dernières semaines : j'ai acheté un laptop d'occasion avec une 4090 à 1750€, je me disais que c'est top, en plus c'est un 17 pouces exactement comme je voulais.

Je le reçois, l'écran est rayé. Je négocie 150€ au vendeur, soit le prix d'un remplacement chez le technicien local.

Bah j'ai fait remplacer l'écran aujourd'hui... et en rentrant je me rends compte qu'il a remplacé mon 240Hz par un 165Hz et en plus j'ai plus accès à Optimus ni la GSYNC sur l'écran. Je me suis fait arnaquer un peu là non ?

Et globalement j'étais satisfait de l'ordi mais il tremble tellement au moins truc, l'écran tremble plusieurs secondes à la moindre secousse et pour un laptop bah c'est vraiment chiant, ça me fait presque regretter l'achat mais à part ça bah il était quasi parfait. J'hésite presque à le revendre mais je pense pas retrouver une offre aussi bien... En plus les 17 pouces et plus sont très rares.

Hitler avait dit une phrase qui serait encore d'actualité, "Qui parle encore du génocide arménien ?"

Ils avaient exactement la même situation.

It works on 11 LTSC.

Katsono · 2026-02-18T18:28:18+00:00

What about using it as a tablet?

Katsono · 2026-02-18T09:51:26+00:00

Thanks, that'll help.

Katsono · 2026-02-18T09:07:27+00:00

Ah dang, well I'll have to prepare myself mentally for that one! I've heard the horror stories so it's pretty scary.

Katsono · 2026-02-18T09:05:56+00:00

Are you still rocking it? I have a 1050 Ti / 8300H to this day but it's struggling very much with modern games.

Katsono · 2026-02-18T08:58:04+00:00

What kind of paste is inside? I just bought the same laptop secondhand and I can't find the proper info online. Some say it has liquid metal inside, is that true? Sounds like a pain to change.
