HP has launched the 2020 version of the Omen 15, its powerful entry-level gaming laptop. There are some internal upgrades, but what you’ll probably notice first is the new Omen’s design. The product has a nice blue diamond logo. There’s also a new modern-looking graphic on the palm rest, and the whole thing is 11 percent thinner than its predecessor at 22.5mm tall. The 15.6-inch screen is supported by a new 180-degree hinge. HP says “the new design is meant to reposition the Omen as a multifunctional PC, catering to users who want a laptop for work or browsing as well as games.”
In terms of other specs, you can configure this with up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q and an Intel Core i7 H-series or AMD Ryzen 7 H-series. This is the first Omen series to offer an AMD variant, and also the first with two color options; the Intel system arrives in black, and the AMD system comes in silver. You’ll also get up to 32GB of RAM (DDR4) and up to 1TB PCIe SSD. And you can choose an OLED panel, a UHD 120 Hz panel, or an FHD 300 Hz panel. As for battery life, HP claims 12.5 hours for non-gaming tasks.
