HP today launched the OMEN family of gaming desktops, laptops and accessories, entering a market currently dominated by Razer and Dell’s Alienware ranges.
The OMEN X desktop, the OMEN 17 laptop and OMEN with SteelSeries accessories have been designed as high-end gaming products.
“The OMEN X Desktop was built for serious gamers who need fierce performance out-of-the-box in a fully customisable chassis – something not typically available from traditional PC manufacturers,” said Jeff Woodhouse, consumer category manager, Personal Systems, HP Australia. “HP’s engineers combined a unique design that maximises thermal management with support for industry standard components so that the true enthusiast can always be up to date with the latest hardware to maintain peak performance with a customised rig.”
The The OMEN X desktop (above, left) boasts up to dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, an i7 with overclocking capability and a VR-ready GPU. Available in October, it’ll retail starting at $4,499 AUD.
