The 5080 HP deal with OLED blows this out of the water no?
Obviously not time machine. But it feels a little bit late to be buying a 4080 laptop.

Not sure how a laptop with a recalled cpu that has issues thermal throttling gpu can be advertised from EBay used and refurbished for $1564 + tax . The 5070ti has same performance using less wattage running much more stable. Best Buy has it for about $1800 with faster ram / cpu. Plus the new 50 series has AI rendering with better upscale dlss performance.

Which hp are you referring to? The one for $700 more with a 16" screen?

No, they are not. The commenter said 5080 with an OLED. The one you have linked is the price with a much inferior 1200p IPS display, half the RAM and half the storage. If you compared the prices of this with that Omen upgraded to OLED, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD, it would come to be $1800. Not to mention, again, that is a 16" and this is an 18", two totally different beasts and stupid to be compared to each other. This has better thermals due to a bigger chassis and better ventilation and also has a bigger battery (although battery life might be similar or better due to 255HX being more efficient). This is meant to be a complete desktop replacement, while the Omen can be carried if needed to.

It's 15% difference at most currently. Should go up to 20% after optimization from data. Not a huge noticeable difference for modern gaming.
