HP New Zealand introduces OMEN series of gaming performance PCs

HP New Zealand has launched a new suite of gaming products designed specifically for those who demand the ultimate, immersive gaming experience. HP’s new high-end gaming products - the OMEN X Desktop, OMEN 15 and 17 Laptop, and OMEN with SteelSeries accessories - are engineered to deliver fast, aggressive performance with the flexibility to customise every detail. 

“The OMEN X Desktop is built for serious gamers who need fierce performance out-of-the-box in a fully customisable frame – something not typically available from traditional PC manufacturers,” said Chin Edirisuriya, Consumer Business Manager, HP New Zealand.

“HP’s engineers combined a unique design that maximises thermal management with support for industry standard components so the true enthusiast can be up to date with the latest hardware to maintain peak performance with a customised rig.”

The OMEN X offerings are an extension of HP’s unified gaming portfolio announced in May to maximise gaming performance per dollar, with a focus on overbuilt and over-engineered products to deliver bold innovation for gaming customers.

The OMEN X features the latest graphics technology up to dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 and up to dual AMD Radeon R9 Fury X. The 6^th generation Intel Core i5/i7 processor with overclocking capability paired with a VR-ready GPU will enable Virtual Reality (VR) and immersive 4K experiences.

HP has engineered superior thermal management that allows these PCs to stay cool under pressure, get the highest possible performance and full potential out of the hardware. This new thermal management includes a tri-chamber design to separate components and optimise thermals with dedicated cooling in each chamber. The OMEN X Desktop also includes support for up to three 120mm liquid cooling radiators with top mounted exhaust vents and a stand that lifts the case off the ground to help pull cool air in, allowing for maximum ventilation.

Other top features include:

• The OMEN Control software provides complete design control, allowing for custom LED light modifications and brightness adjustments in real time
• Chassis adheres to industry standards for seamless upgrades and modifications
• Tool-less access to the internals and a hidden toolkit in the chassis to accommodates upgrades
