HP is adding a new gaming laptop to its Omen lineup and updating some of its existing mainstays. The company today announced the Omen Transcend 16, designed to be thin and light, with the first-ever mini LED screen on an Omen.
HP is pushing the Transcend as a sort of hybrid machine, being used for gaming, but also for a number of other creative endeavors (though really, this is the case for just about any system with a discrete GPU). But it's designed to be light and portable, coming in under 2.1 kg (4.6 pounds) thanks to a magnesium frame. HP claims the 97 WHr battery will last 11 hours on a charge (we'll have to test that), though there's also a 70 Whr option.
