Exciting New HyperX OMEN Gaming Laptops at CES

HP OMEN 15: A Comeback for 2026

First up is the HyperX OMEN 15, which is set to make its debut at CES in January. It will feature cutting-edge performance thanks to an Intel Core Ultra 9 386H or AMD Ryzen AI 7 450, both of which are yet to be officially released.

For context, the original HP OMEN 15 launched in 2020 received an update in 2021, but was eventually discontinued in 2022 in favor of the OMEN 16. Now, the OMEN 15 is re-entering the market with modern Intel and AMD processors.

The graphics capabilities are slated to be powered by up to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, while the memory specifications, staying consistent, will allow for up to 32GB DDR5 5600 MT/s RAM. Storage will be upgraded to include an impressive 1 TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD.

Additionally, the OMEN 15 will come equipped with a stunning 3K 120Hz OLED display boasting a rapid 0.2ms response time. Although this model will feature the highest resolution, it has the lowest refresh rate among the three new OMEN laptops. Expect also a discussion around the innovative HyperAction 8000Hz polling rate keyboard.

Introducing the HP OMEN 16 for 2026

Next, the new HyperX OMEN 16 is anticipated to be announced at CES 2026. It will feature a powerful Next-Gen Intel Core Ultra Processor or up to AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX.

The graphics card will maintain the same performance level with up to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070. Although the 2025 model offered the option of an RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU, it remains unclear if the 2026 version will feature this upgrade.

Memory capacity will see a substantial increase, allowing for up to 64 GB DDR5-5600 MT/s RAM, contrasting with its predecessor’s 32GB limit. Meanwhile, storage remains consistent with options for up to 2 TB PCIe® Gen4 NVMe™ M.2 SSD.

The display represents a considerable jump in quality, boasting up to a 2.5K 165Hz OLED configuration with a rapid 0.2ms response time.

To provide perspective, the top display option for the 2025 OMEN 16 included a 16-inch WQXGA (2560×1600) IPS panel with a variable refresh rate of 60–240Hz and a response time of 3ms. Like the OMEN 15, the OMEN 16 will also feature the HyperAction 8000Hz polling rate keyboard.

Finally, the highly anticipated HyperX OMEN MAX 16 is set to launch with a next-gen Intel Core Ultra Processor and an impressive NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, maintaining its status from 2025.

The RAM capacity will also go up to 64GB, matching its predecessor’s capacity while increasing speed from 5600 MT/s to 6400 MT/s. Storage options will similarly enhance, featuring up to 2 TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD, compared to the previous model’s 2 TB PCIe Gen4.

The display capabilities will reach up to an OLED 2.5K resolution with a distinctive 240Hz refresh rate, the highest of the new offerings, while sharing a 0.2ms response time with its counterparts.

During CES 2025, HP proclaimed the previous OMEN MAX 16 as their most powerful gaming laptop yet. Although the new model may not differ considerably aside from the CPU and memory specifications, it is likely that HP will still promote the 2026 OMEN MAX 16 as their top-tier gaming laptop.

Specifications of the HP HyperX OMEN MAX 16

If HP adheres to the reports from our sources, the 2026 OMEN lineup is not poised for drastic redesigns. Rather, advancements include faster CPUs, OLED display technology across the range, increased memory bandwidth, and minor latency improvements, indicating a thoughtful spec upgrade for the HyperX gaming laptops.

Our informants further revealed that HyperX has integrated luxurious features such as self-cleaning fans and a high polling rate keyboard into the gaming laptop series.

Moreover, AI integration is on the horizon, as sources indicate that the new gaming laptops will feature OMEN AI, initially introduced as a Beta software feature at CES 2025. This tool was branded as the “world’s first AI-powered 1-click performance optimization tool” at that event. Presently, HP has promised a 42% increase in FPS in games like Fortnite.

However, our sources caution that such improvements may vary depending on the game, device configuration, hardware setup, and particular game settings. Additionally, it is worth noting that not all games will support OMEN AI.

The OMEN MAX 16 is set to retain its place as HP’s premier gaming device. The revival of the OMEN 15 effectively fills a gap that HP left after 2022, while the OMEN 16 finally receives the display enhancements that users have requested.

In fact, HP is investing heavily in OLED technology, with HyperX planning to unveil three new OMEN OLED monitors at CES 2026. Our sources indicate that these will be the finest OLED gaming monitors produced by HyperX to date.
