HP is one of the most active participants at CES 2026. So far we have already heard about the new keyboard PC, the OmniBook Ultra 14 and the EliteBook
Yes, HP has merged its gaming peripherals and accessories brand, HyperX, with its long-standing performance or gaming laptops brand, OMEN. “HyperX and OMEN officially unite under one master gaming brand: HyperX,” writes HP in its official press release.
HP’s gaming strategy is refreshed with the new HyperX OMEN series
The publication is about three new HyperX products: the OMEN MAX 16 gaming laptop, the OMEN OLED 34 monitor and the Clutch Tachi arcade controller. All products are aimed at gamers. Let’s start with what the company says is “the world’s most powerful gaming laptop with full internal cooling.”
The HyperX OMEN MAX 16 is available with either the Intel Core Ultra 200HX series or AMD Ryzen AI processors. On the graphics side, the laptop offers up to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU (for high-FPS gaming), one of the most powerful mobile GPUs on the market.
Compared to the previous generation HP OMEN gaming laptop, the HyperX OMEN MAX 16 offers 20% more overall platform performance (now rated at 300W). This allows the system to maintain higher CPU and GPU clock speeds for longer periods of time without throttling.
To manage the extra power, the laptop features the OMEN Tempest Cooling Pro system with a third fan and fan cleaning technology that improves overall cooling efficiency. Combined, the CPU, GPU, and cooling system deliver a desktop-class gaming experience in a portable form factor.
The HyperX OMEN MAX 16 is configurable with up to a 16-inch 2.5K 500 nits OLED screen that supports a peak refresh rate of 240 Hz. Other highlights include a high polling rate keyboard (up to four times faster than the previous generation) with full-size arrows, OMEN Light Studio and OMEN AI features.
Next on the list is the HyperX OMEN OLED 34 gaming monitor, which features a 34-inch V-strip QD OLED curved panel (21:9) with a resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels. With a peak refresh rate of 360 Hz, an extremely fast response time of 0.03 ms and a peak brightness of 500 nits, the monitor covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color space.
Other features of the monitor include a USB-C port that supports 100W power supply, two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 port and a KVM switch to manage the connected PCs. Unique features include a built-in headphone jack and a three-year limited warranty that help prevent screen burn-in.
Finally, the company also announced the HyperX Clutch Tachi, its first Xbox-licensed arcade-style controller with magnetic switches and customizable inputs. All devices, including the HyperX OMEN MAX 16, gaming monitor and controller, will be available this spring.
