HP’s Omen and HyperX Unveil New Gaming Gear at CES 2024

HP has always been a leader in the gaming industry, and this year at CES 2024, it showcased its latest innovations from its Omen and HyperX divisions. The new products are designed to work together seamlessly, offering gamers a complete and immersive gaming experience.

“Computing continues to become more personal, and this is especially true in the gaming community,” said Josephine Tan, senior vice president & division president of personal systems gaming solutions at HP, in a statement. “Whether it is your gaming laptop, monitor, or accessory, HP has developed a customizable and personalized solution that can be tailored to your need.”

Omen Transcend 14: The World’s Lightest 14-inch Gaming Laptop

The star of the show was the Omen Transcend 14 Gaming Laptop PC, a customizable and powerful device that combines stunning visuals, local and cloud-based AI solutions, and a sleek design. The Omen Transcend 14 is the world’s lightest 14-inch gaming laptop, weighing only 3.6 pounds and featuring a type-C PD 140-watt adapter for easy charging on the go.

The laptop boasts an advanced OLED display with a 4K resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate, delivering crisp and smooth graphics. It also has an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor and up to Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPUs, enabling it to handle the latest games and compute-intensive tasks with ease.

One of the unique features of the Omen Transcend 14 is the Auto Dynamic Refresh Rate (DRR) in OMEN Gaming Hub, which automatically switches between different refresh rates depending on the content and power mode. This can improve the battery life by up to 7% and extend it to up to 20% longer in ECO mode.

The laptop also has a redesigned chassis that uses inbound airflow and a vapor chamber to create a pressurized zone for direct heat dissipation through rear vents. This thermal innovation, co-engineered with Intel’s dual channel flow technology, results in the world’s coolest 14-inch gaming laptop, which can achieve four times higher static pressure with an 80 watt thermal capability within a 12-millimeter base.

The Omen Transcend 14 also comes with a bundled option for the world’s first gaming laptop with 2.4 GHz ULL connectivity for the HyperX Cloud III Wireless Headset, which offers seamless and low-latency audio pairing. The headset has a battery life of up to 30 hours and a detachable noise-canceling microphone.

HyperX Alloy Rise Keyboard: The World’s Most Customizable Toolless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Another highlight of the HP’s showcase was the HyperX Alloy Rise Keyboard, the world’s most customizable toolless mechanical gaming keyboard. The keyboard has a gasket mounted design that allows users to easily swap the switches and keycaps without any tools.

The keyboard is available in full-size and 75% options with dedicated arrow keys, and comes with pre-lubed HyperX Linear Switches and preinstalled HyperX PBT Keycaps. The switches have a lifespan of 100 million keystrokes and are dust-proof, while the keycaps are durable and resistant to wear and tear.

The keyboard also features enhanced RGB lighting with an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts the brightness according to the environment, ensuring optimal visuals. The keyboard has a USB-C port for charging and data transfer, and a USB-A port for connecting other devices.

HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Mini: A Compact and Ultra-Lightweight Gaming Mouse

The HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Mini is a compact and ultra-lightweight gaming mouse that weighs only 49 grams and has a battery life of up to 100 hours. The mouse has a HyperX 26K Sensor that offers a DPI range of 100 to 26,000 and a polling rate of up to 1,000 Hz, delivering accurate and responsive tracking.

The mouse also has dual wireless mode connectivity, allowing users to switch between 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth modes. The mouse has six programmable buttons and dust-proof HyperX Switches that have a lifespan of 60 million clicks. The mouse also comes with adaptable grip tape that can be applied to the sides and buttons for enhanced control and comfort.

Omen Transcend 32: The First Gaming Monitor with Independent Switchable USB Ports

The Omen Transcend 32 UHD 240Hz OLED Gaming Monitor is the first gaming monitor with independent switchable USB ports that allow users to seamlessly switch between devices or use the smart KVM features to drag and drop files across devices. The monitor has a QD-OLED panel that enables an insane 1.5 million-to-1 contrast ratio across its 4K UHD, 240Hz refresh rate screen. The monitor also has a 0.3 millisecond response time and supports Dolby Vision, providing a stunning and immersive gaming experience.

The monitor is certified with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, providing up to 50 times greater dynamic range and four times improvement in rich color volume compared to standard monitors. The monitor also has a built-in speaker system with DTS:X Ultra technology, delivering clear and immersive sound.

The monitor has a sleek and ergonomic design, with a height-adjustable stand, a tilt and swivel function, and a cable management system. The monitor also has a variety of ports, including HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, USB-C, and USB-A.
