CES is underway, and we're starting to get more exciting news about products announced there. One of them is the laptop you see on your screen, a revamped HP Omen 15 that has the distinction of being the first gaming laptop with a 240Hz display . We'll give you all the details of this new machine.
HP Omen 15 with 240Hz panel
HP's Omen family, as you know, encompasses the company's gaming laptops. This lineup includes the Omen 15, which has now received an update in Las Vegas with new features in its specifications. Among these, its 15,6-inch IPS display (almost bezel-less) stands out, boasting a 1080p resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate —the first gaming laptop with such a high refresh rate. This represents a significant leap compared to its predecessor, which offered (and still offers, as it remains on sale) a 144Hz refresh rate.
As for the rest of the specifications , the laptop features an 8th-generation Intel Core i7-8750H processor, 16 GB of RAM, and NVIDIA RTX 2070 Max-Q graphics.

In terms of connectors, the laptop has a USB Type-C port and three USB 3.1 ports, as well as a Mini DisplayPort 1.3 type and another HDMI 2.0.
It features a backlit keyboard with various colors and maintains the characteristic black aesthetic of the range , with different finishes on the top of its chassis and certain red details that make it easily distinguishable as a device from the Omen family. As for its dimensions, it weighs 2,38 kg and is 24,89 mm thick.
Undoubtedly an interesting alternative in a type of niche product in which HP continues to put a lot of effort and desire. And to show this renewed Omen 15.
