HP has updated its OMEN 15 gaming laptop
with new design and new specs for 2020, including an option to configure it
with an AMD CPU, a first for a OMEN laptop. The OMEN 15 can now be configured
with up to an Intel Core i7-10750H or an AMD Ryzen 7 4800H CPU. For graphics,
you can now have it configured with up to NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super Max-Q.
For memory, you can have it configured
with up to 32GB of DDR4-2933 on the Intel model and DDR4-3200 on the AMD model.
Storage can be as high as 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD, in either a single stick or dual
512GB sticks in RAID 0 configuration.
The new model has a 15.6-inch display with
180-degree flat hinge design. You have a choice of a standard 1080p IPS LCD,
144Hz FHD IPS LCD, 300Hz FHD IPS LCD, or 120Hz UHD IPS LCD or OLED, with NVIDIA
G-SYNC on select configurations.
The OMEN 15 now has a new design, with a
new diamond logo with a blue green gradient. It comes in two colors, Mica
Silver and Shadow Black with optional per-key RGB backlight. The new design
also features an improved thermal design, with an industry first IR thermopile
sensor for temperature monitoring, larger vents and a 12V fan with three sided
venting.
As for battery life, HP claims 12.5 hours
for non-gaming tasks but it's obviously going to be a lot less during gaming.
The new HP OMEN 15 starts at US$ 999 and is now on sale.
