If you’re a professional gamer, a casual player, a video editor, or simply in need of a high-performance laptop, you should check out our OMEN laptops. These laptops are built to endure the rigors of daily wear and tear. They’re also packed with the latest 13th Generation Intel or AMD Ryzen processors, super-fast 16GB DDR5-4800 SDRAM, and spacious 512GB PCIe® NVMe™ TLC M.2 solid-state drive (SSD) for smooth and immersive gaming.
What’s more, we have engineered these gaming laptops with the latest AI technologies in NVIDIA® Max-Q, allowing us to build blazing-fast, thin, and quiet laptops with longer battery life.
Now, let's take a closer look at the features you'll enjoy with our OMEN gaming laptops.

OMEN Gaming Hub

The OMEN Gaming Hub software suite is exclusively for our OMEN gaming laptops. It's a powerful all-in-one tool that provides gamers with unmatched control and convenience by offering easy optimization and customization options.
Within the hub, you can monitor the laptop’s key metrics using the system vitals dashboard and troubleshoot any issues that come up.
Are you stuck and can’t seem to find that enemy who keeps shooting you on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare? Invite your friends for a watch along using the Oasis Live streaming service on the hub and let them assist you.
One outstanding feature of the OMEN Gaming Hub is its integration with NVIDIA GeForce® Now. This feature grants you access to a library of over 1,500 AAA titles that are always up-to-date, so you won't have to wait for downloads.

OMEN Tempest Cooling Technology

Traditional gaming laptops often suffer from noisy fans, overheating problems, and annoying thermal throttling, which makes playing games at high graphics settings an unpleasant experience. Our HP OMEN gaming laptops are built differently.
The OMEN Tempest Cooling Technology keeps your laptop cool through a combination of intelligent features. First, there's the advanced cooling design with vents on three sides and a five-way airflow system, allowing your laptop to breathe freely. Then, we've introduced a new fan design that's 2.5 times slimmer and boasts twice as many blades for efficient cooling. Lastly, the OMEN Dynamic Power feature within the OMEN Gaming Hub uses an integrated IR thermopile sensor to assess your processor and graphics card's performance constantly. This real-time data helps it automatically optimize power, preventing overheating even during long gaming sessions.

Fast refresh rates and response times

As a passionate gamer, your skills can take you far, but there's a limit. You need a faster and more powerful gaming laptop to reach the next level. That is where our top-of-the-line OMEN gaming laptops come into play.
Our HP gaming laptops feature high refresh rate displays of 144 Hz or even higher and lightning-fast response times of 7 ms or less. These enhancements minimize motion blur, stuttering, and ghosting, especially in fast-paced games. This means you can respond faster to in-game events and give yourself a better shot at victory.

Fast data transfer rates

You'll quickly notice that our OMEN laptops are designed with multiple super-speed connectivity ports and not just any ports. We believe your time should be spent on meaningful activities, such as creating content or conquering the final boss in your favorite AAA game, instead of waiting for files to finish transferring.
For instance, the Thunderbolt port has an impressive 40 Gbps signaling rate. This means you can transfer large files in mere minutes and connect external displays effortlessly. And if you have additional devices like game controllers or smart gadgets, you can connect them using the USB Type-A ports.

Customization options

While our OMEN laptops come preconfigured, you still have the flexibility to customize different aspects to enhance your gaming experience. You can select upgrades for color, operating system, processors, graphics card, RAM, storage capacity, keyboard, battery, and even the duration of software and warranty support.
If you find all these options overwhelming, don't worry. We offer three recommended configurations tailored to various gaming preferences: Casual Gamer, Campaign Hero, and Esports Pro. Compare these options and choose the one that best meets your needs.
