Windows 10: HP launches world 1st dual-screen gaming laptop and other innovations

Brink · May 14, 2019

In our multitasking world, when you’re playing PC games, there’s a good chance you’re doing a lot of other things, too.

Gaming industry insights show 82% of people use their mobile phones for messaging during gaming sessions, while 61% listen to music and 49% watch game-related live streams, view video content and browse websites [1]. With this in mind, HP has created the world’s first dual-screen gaming laptop [2], the OMEN X 2S.

OMEN X 2S

Players will be able to message friends in WeChat and WhatsApp, browse the perfect songs to accompany their sessions on Spotify, watch Twitch and YouTube, or even serve as a hub for OMEN Command Center software through an easy-to-use 6-inch 1080p touchscreen above the keyboard – freeing them from the hassles of alt-tabbing.

A real-time screen mirroring feature further bolsters the OMEN X 2S, by cutting and magnifying parts of the main screen – such as copying the map portion of a racing game – to the second screen, ensuring centered vision and more vertical head movement.

This powerhouse also has a lot going on under its 20 mm-thin, full-metal chassis hood: It’s the first 15-inch diagonal gaming laptop in the world to come with an applied liquid metal compound to the thermal system by way of Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut. The result is heat dissipation at 10 times the thermal conductivity of silicon thermal grease [3] up to a 28% [4] frames-per-second (FPS) performance boost over traditional grease when testing in Apex Legends, and an 8.5% [5] faster lead time in a Blender Benchmark test.

The OMEN X 2S was one of several gaming innovations unveiled Tuesday at the HP Gaming Festival in Beijing.

OMEN 15

The newest versions of the OMEN 15 and OMEN 17 laptops are now even slimmer, with a 20% and 18% reduction in thickness over previous versions. All three OMEN laptops feature OMEN Tempest, an overhauled advanced thermal solution powered by a 12-volt fan, which utilizes three-sided venting to enable five-way airflow to keep things ultra-cool.

OMEN 17

Support for up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 for the OMEN 17 and Max-Q [6] design for the OMEN X 2S and OMEN 15 delivers realistic visuals. Additionally, multitasking and grand-scale games – which take mountainous resources – will run even more smoothly, with up to the latest 9th Generation Intel Core i9 high-performance mobile processor [7] powered by up to 5.0 GHz Turbo [8], eight cores and 16 threads, and up to 32 GB of RAM.

HP Pavilion Gaming 15 Laptop

Both the HP Pavilion Gaming 15 and the new HP Pavilion Gaming 17 laptops offer outstanding versatility and mobility for gamers and creatives alike. Technological improvements across the board arrive with options up to the latest 9th Generation Intel Core i5/i7 high-performance mobile CPUs [7] and up to the recently announced NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with Max-Q design [6].

These OMEN and Pavilion laptops are expected to be available by June via HP.com and other retailers. [9]

In addition, enhancements to OMEN Command Center software, as well as new OMEN and HP Pavilion Gaming displays and accessories, round out an ecosystem that has everything gamers need to progress and achieve their goals.

Pricing [9]

OMEN X 2S Laptop starts at $2099.99.

OMEN 17 Laptop starts at $1099.99. The 240 Hz option is expected to be available in October.

OMEN 15 Laptop starts at $1049.99.

Let us isolate your concern to help us determine what's causing the white screen after you exit the game. Please answer the following questions:

Are there any recent changes or updates made on your laptop?

Did you run the World of Tanks game on the same laptop where you encountered the white screen after exiting the World of Warships?

What troubleshooting steps have you done so far aside from restarting the laptop?

We'll wait for your response.

HP kicks off Gamescom with OMEN innovations

OMEN by HP unveiled new hardware and mobile software innovations for gaming enthusiasts on the eve of the industry’s big Gamescom event in Cologne, Germany. On the hardware front, the OMEN Obelisk is the latest addition to the company’s desktop gaming family. On the software side, OMEN Game Stream for Android will bring OMEN experiences to gamers looking to connect and play on the go.

Also unveiled are new features for the OMEN Mindframe Headset – the world’s first headset with active earcup cooling technology – to add comfort and audio benefits for both competitive play and streaming.

“HP is focused on delivering incredible experiences that fuel the future of gaming and enable the community to perform at their best,” said Kevin Frost, vice president and general manager, Consumer Personal Systems, HP Inc. “Integrating the newly announced NVIDIA GPUs and teaming up with HyperX to provide high-performance memory for our OMEN Obelisk and future desktops demonstrates our commitment to building a world-class ecosystem comprised of the world’s best gaming solutions.”

Gamers are always hungry for the latest and greatest generation of components such as graphics cards and memory. The OMEN Obelisk will be one of the first systems to carry the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20 Series of GPUs by way of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080, powered by all-new NVIDIA Turing architecture, giving gamers access to the world’s ultimate gaming architecture. The integration of HyperX high-performance memory within the OMEN Obelisk is another critical part of engineering a desktop to utilize the latest GPUs, RAM and other components through an industry-standard upgrade path vital to gaming at the highest levels, both now and in the future.

“HyperX is pleased to work with HP and provide HyperX FURY memory in all upcoming and refreshed OMEN by HP gaming PCs,” said Mark Leathem, general manager, HyperX Peripherals Division, when speaking to the memory integration. “With over fifteen years of experience delivering gaming memory, the HyperX brand is a great fit with HP’s vision of providing exceptional PCs for gamers.”
The OMEN Obelisk Desktop addition to the family of OMEN Desktops has been engineered with peak performance and customization so PCs can keep up with the latest in gaming. With a DIY-friendly, industry-standard upgrade path, along with options for the latest graphics and processor architectures, gamers can continually achieve the performance they expect.

Top features of the OMEN Obelisk are detailed in HP’s press release and include world-class power and storage, latest series of NVIDIA GPUs, HyperX integration, strategic cooling with extensive venting that takes advantage of thoughtfully placed components to generate optimal airflow, and a customizable and clean design.

The OMEN Game Stream feature of the OMEN Command Center enables gamers to harness the power of their OMEN on other Windows 10 devices to play games on their big screen TV. The addition of Android functionality later this year will add a new array of devices for gamers to stream their OMEN experience. OMEN Command Center comes preinstalled on all OMEN PCs, providing features such as Network Booster and System Vitals. It also supports customization and settings adjustments for the latest accessories, such as the OMEN Sequencer Keyboard, OMEN Reactor Mouse and OMEN Mindframe Headset.

Speaking of which, the forthcoming OMEN Mindframe Headset is the world’s first headset with active earcup cooling by way of HP’s patented thermoelectric driven Frostcap technology. It has been built with comfort in mind, while also delivering top-notch sound quality. The OMEN by HP team has made further additions prior to launch, including noise cancellation, real-time audible feedback via sidetone to take advantage of noise cancellation, and new fabric cups for improved breathability.

Regarding pricing and availability, the OMEN Obelisk Desktop is expected to be available in September via HP.com and other retailers for a starting price of $879.99. OMEN Game Stream for Android is expected to be available later this year via the Google Play Store for free. And the OMEN Mindframe Headset is expected to be available in October via HP.com and other retailers for a starting price of $199.99.
