For the longest time, when you’ve wanted a gaming machine from HP, you’ve been funnelled into its Omen lineup. A few years ago, it got a lovely new design language and a super clean white diamond for a logo, but its status as HP’s premier gaming brand is seemingly now coming to an end.
HP confirmed at CES, and at a New York preview event I attended back in December, that it was promoting HyperX, the sub-brand largely associated with peripherals and accessories, to become its leading gaming sub-brand as of now. Omen isn't dead, though, but is now the smaller name of the two.
