HP OMEN has always stood for affordable high-performance gaming. Equipped with a desktop-class GPU, a high-resolution display, and a design-oriented approach to thermal management, every shape and choice has been used to optimize the HP OMEN 16 for next-level gameplay.
OMEN 16 is designed around thermal management. The hinges for the display are placed at the top of the keyboard deck so the back of the computer has a free-flowing exhaust. OMEN 16 is the lightest weight, most powerful gaming computer HP has ever made, so that users can take their games, on the go. Ultrathin gaming machines are desirable because they make it easy to play from anywhere, and use for other purposes, too.
The core innovation was in finding the balance between performance and portability, without compromising either. The result is a computer that is under 20mm thin and allows more portability for gamers and creators in different settings.
Available in shadow black or ceramic white, and made from magnesium, the computer is HP’s lightest OMEN computer ever.
The computer is labeled with sparse branding, only bearing “OMEN” on the back of the display, the “16” branding on the palm rest, and the small “16 Designed and Engineered by HP” tattoo behind the hinge above the exhaust ports. This fits with a more mature user, and is more appealing to a broader set of gaming users.
The shape is made from two slabs, and the back edge of the display terminates in a curved surface where it meets the hinge, for a softer transition. The base of the computer is beveled for thinness.
16:10 display ratio for more vertical height, which is better for productivity and creation.
It has a full metal chassis for strength and lightness, a bigger battery capacity for up to 10 hours, RGB 4-zone keyboard, so users can configure lighting to help them with games (WASD as separate colors from other keys, for example), Ultra-low latency built-in connection for gaming headsets, for true wireless experience equivalent to wired, auto-pairing to gaming headsets, 4 zone venting to keep temperatures cool and performance high, and 1080p camera with manual privacy shutter and noise-reduction for the best picture.
HP believes that gaming is for everyone. This clean design appeals to a wider range of gamers. Being ultra thin and light makes it possible for everyone to play from a wider range of places. HP OMEN gaming machines have a long history of supplying high performance in an affordable machine, and this machine supports the brand by making that more approachable than ever. Energy Star certified and EPEAT Gold registered. HP has more EPEAT Gold + Silver products in more countries than any other PC vendor.
