1440p Laptops Worth Looking Into?

My desktop rig is showing its age, mostly the graphics card (960 just can't keep up any more).  My motherboard, RAM, and chip are much newer, as we rebuild pieces from time to time, but I'm at the point where I need to upgrade power supply and cooling if I get a new GPU and I don't care for my monitor so that would be on the table as well.

I find myself suffering from massive tech envy.  Eldest moved out so my desk is now in the back bedroom instead of the living room, which is nice and quiet but fairly isolated when hubs is not on his rig.  So I have been looking at laptops.  For weeks.  I was leaning toward an MSI machine but then bumped into the HP Omen 16.  They array of options are dizzying, but my main sticking point is whether to go to 1440p (the QHD option that isn't full 4k) or stick with 1080p.  Part of me says it isn't worth it but the rest of me is saying, "Ooh, pretty!"

Does anyone have hands-on experience with these?  Any recommendations for machines or builds?  I'm not in a tearing hurry, but my holiday bonus is burning a hole in my pocket.
