It’s better late than never. HP introduces their “Omen” range of gaming laptops and desktops. The specs look pretty decent … and they’ll be competing against the likes of MSI, who’s gaming laptops are already big amongst the gamers. Let’s how they do over the next few months.
“While it’s nice to see Omen laptops at a lower price, HP had to downgrade the machines a bit to make that happen. (In many ways they’re more reminiscent of last year’s Pavilion gaming laptop.) The biggest difference: instead of aluminum unibody cases, the new laptops have plastic cases with a “black shadow mesh” design. And instead of multi-colored keyboard lighting, they only feature red lights. The laptops felt pretty solid in my brief hands-on time, though you’d never mistake them for a premium metal design. The hinges also felt a bit more wobbly this time around.”
“The Omen laptops now support up to NVIDIA GTX 965M graphics and sixth-gen Intel Core i7 processors. They can hold a maximum 16GB of RAM, and you’ll have the choice of up to a 512GB SSD or 2TB hard drive (some configurations also allow for combination of SSD and a traditional hard drive). As with many laptops today, you can also add in an Intel RealSense Camera for an additional cost.”
