Big ol' savings abound for the HP Omen 17

Today in Big Numbers news: HP have launched aBlack Fridaysale in their own store, with a particularly mahoosive cut to theRTX 4080version of their Omen 17 gaming laptop.

Its been struck down from 3800 to 2100 in the UK, a saving to the tune one 1700 one very Big Number indeed.

Another Omen 17 variant, still with an RTX 4080 GPU (but trading an even more powerful Intel chip for less RAM and storage), is also getting the Black Friday treatment in the US.

The HP Omen 17 gaming laptop.

Albeit with a $500 saving, which I understand is not as Big a Number, and is thus less deserving of going in the headline.

UK deals:

HP Omen 17 - 2100 from HP (was 3800)

17.3in, 2560x1440, IPS display, Intel Core i7-13700HX, 32GB RAM, RTX 4080, 1TB SSD, 2.8kg

US deals:

HP Omen 17 - $2100 from HP (was $2600)

17.3in, 2560x1440, IPS display, Intel Core i9-13900HX, 16GB RAM, RTX 4080, 512GB SSD, 2.8kg

I havent wielded either of these particular models myself, but I have some experience with the current-gen Omen line through the Omen 16 Transcend, and theres a lot to like: fast, high-contrast displays, strong internals, high build quality.

The Omen 17 is a much bigger and weightier proposition, of course, so its naturally more of a desktop replacement than a portability champion like the Omen 16 Transcend.
