We start things off with the 2023 variant of the OMEN by HP 17, which is the current highest-end model featuring the latest 13th gen Intel Core i9-13900K, paired with an RTX 4080 GPU. When it came to processor benchmarks, the HP OMEN 17 is leagues ahead of all the other laptops on this list, all which we have tested. For reference, the HP OMEN 17 scored 27536 in the Cinebench R23 n-thread benchmark, which was almost 10000 points higher than our highest performing laptop CPU from last year! When it comes to gaming performance, we saw an average improvement of 21 percent in our gaming benchmarks over our previous best laptop. We saw over 400 FPS on Valorant, 200 FPS in Shadow of the Tomb Raider and 250 plus FPS in Civilisation VI during our real-world gaming benchmarks. With both the laptop processor and GPU being from the latest generation, the OMEN 17 certainly has a leg up on the competition. We will update this list as and when we test newer gen Intel Core i9 laptops. For now, the HP OMEN 17 is the best Intel i9 Laptop you get your hands on in India.
