HP’s OLED OMEN 16 pairs Ryzen 9 and RTX 5060 graphics for $1,499.99 in this gaming laptop deal
An OLED display and a dedicated RTX 5060 laptop GPU make the HP HyperX OMEN 16 a more interesting proposition than a specification sheet focused on graphics alone. Best Buy has the 16-inch gaming laptop for $1,499.99, with an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD.
This is model 16-ap1023dx, product number D60NFUA#ABA. Its 2560 x 1600 OLED panel runs at up to 165Hz. Best Buy showed the new model sold by Best Buy, with shipping available with an Add to Cart button when checked; delivery and pickup depend on location.
The retailer lists $2,299.99 as its comparable value, making the displayed difference $800. That is Best Buy's reference price, not proof the laptop normally sells for that amount. The same model has been offered at this price before, so compare the actual $1,499.99 price with the configurations available when you shop.

The OLED screen is the main attraction
The 16:10 panel offers more vertical space than a 16:9 display with the same horizontal resolution. OLED can also render deep blacks in dark scenes, while its 165Hz refresh rate is useful in games when the hardware can produce enough frames. Refresh rate is a display ceiling, not a promise of 165 frames per second.

The RTX 5060 laptop GPU has 8GB of dedicated GDDR7 memory, according to HP's specifications for this exact model. Demanding games may need lower settings or upscaling at the display's native resolution; performance varies by game, settings and power mode.
The 1TB SSD gives games more room than a 512GB drive, though Windows and included software reduce the space available out of the box. The 16GB of DDR5 memory should suit many current uses, but buyers who multitask heavily should check upgrade options before purchasing.

What to know before ordering
The laptop includes HDMI 2.1, Ethernet, three USB-A ports and a USB-C port with DisplayPort support. HP lists a weight of 5.47 pounds and a 70Wh battery. Its own battery estimate is up to 2 hours and 45 minutes in mixed use under the company's test conditions, so battery runtime is a consideration if you need to work away from an outlet.
The combination makes the most sense if you value the OLED panel as well as gaming performance. Check the model and seller in the cart, since the listing can also show open-box and third-party offers. Price and availability may change.
