HP Inc. on Friday introduced a powerful lineup of OMEN and HP Pavilion Gaming innovations in India to raise the bar for gaming experiences.
The OMEN X 2S – the world’s first dual-screen gaming laptop1 – provides multitasking capabilities, the OMEN 15 laptops bring exceptional power in their thinnest forms yet, and HP Pavilion Gaming 15 laptop offers versatility and mobility for gamers and creatives alike. In addition, with enhancements to OMEN Command Center software and new OMEN and HP Pavilion Gaming displays and accessories, HP has engineered an industry-leading gaming ecosystem that delivers everything gamers need to progress and achieve their goals.
The inspiration behind the OMEN X 2S 15 was derived from insights and feedback from the OMEN gaming communities. The modern gamers have a mobile screen-stacking habit, constantly communicating with their community on Twitch or watching livestream/game tips during gameplay. Gamers also use their mobile phones for messaging during gaming sessions, listen to music, and watch game related live streams, video content and browse websites. With this in mind, HP has added an unprecedented second screen to the OMEN X 2S in the form of an easy-to-use six-inch 1080p touchscreen that lets players message friends in WhatsApp, browse in Spotify, watch Twitch, YouTube, or even serve as a hub for OMEN Command Center software.
“Gaming it is not just a hobby but a fast-evolving lifestyle and, in select cases, a profession. At HP, we share our users’ passion and love for the game – be it beginners, enthusiasts or professionals. We have engineered the best experiences based on user insights to enable a holistic and exciting gaming ecosystem for the modern gamers in India,” said Sumeer Chandra, Managing Director, HP Inc. India.
Laptops designed for next-gen Gaming – HP OMEN X 2S and HP OMEN 15
As the world’s first dual-screen gaming laptop1, the OMEN X 2S shakes the foundation of what’s expected of a gaming laptop, with tremendous multi-tasking capabilities for various activities and support with dedicated hotkeys. The OMEN X 2S, further bolstered by a real-time screen mirroring feature that can cut and magnify parts of the main screen – including copying the map portion of a racing game – to the second screen, ensures vision is centered and head movement more vertical than horizontal.
This powerhouse is 20 mm thin with a full metal chassis and is the first 15-inch diagonal gaming laptop in the world to come with an applied liquid metal compound to the thermal system by way of Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut. The path to smaller, cooler, and more powerful applies to the newest version of the OMEN 15 laptop. With a 20 percent reduction in thickness over previous versions, it sits at a slim 20 mm.
Realistic visuals are delivered by support for up to NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 2080 features Max-Q7 design for the OMEN X 2S and OMEN 15. Additionally, multitasking and grand-scale games have never been smoother, with up to the latest 9th Gen Intel® Core™ i9 high performance mobile processor8, powered by up to 5.0 GHz Turbo9, eight cores and 16 threads, and up to 16 GB of RAM.
OMEN Command Center Updates
Since its creation, OMEN Command Center has evolved as the software solution for managing and enhancing gaming hardware. The evolution continues with two additions coming to the platform for all three new OMEN devices. Performance Control cranks up fan RPM to either maximize cooling or performance, based on the chosen setting. The new OMEN Dynamic Power feature manages CPU and GPU wattage based on what a game is utilizing at a given moment to maximize FPS. Combined, these powerful additions serve to improve gameplay while also adding a level of flexibility.
