HP OMEN (commonly referred to as OMEN) represents HP Inc.'s premium range of gaming PC desktops, laptops, accessories, and components. This brand originated from HP's acquisition of the former VoodooPC desktop line.
Introduced in 2021, the HP Victus series replaced the Pavilion Gaming lineup, focusing on the mid-tier gaming segment and is marketed alongside OMEN products.
Following HP's 2021 purchase of HyperX from Kingston Technology, the HyperX brand now provides gaming peripherals such as mice, keyboards, microphones, and controllers, complementing both the OMEN and Victus ranges.
OMEN directly competes with Lenovo’s Legion, Dell’s Alienware, Acer’s Predator, and ASUS’s ROG series. Meanwhile, Victus challenges brands like Dell’s G series, Lenovo’s LOQ, Acer Nitro, and ASUS TUF.
History
In 2006, HP acquired VoodooPC, a company renowned for its customizable high-performance gaming desktops, shortly after Dell had purchased Alienware.
The OMEN brand was unveiled on November 4, 2014, debuting with a 15-inch gaming laptop that retained VoodooPC’s tribal mask emblem. This logo was redesigned in 2020 to feature a simpler 45-degree square motif.
After acquiring HyperX in February 2021, HP discontinued its own production of gaming peripheral devices.
In March 2025, HP broadened the OMEN portfolio by introducing standalone PC components including case fans available in two sizes, all-in-one (AIO) CPU coolers also in two sizes, and a 1000W power supply unit (PSU).
OMEN X
Launched in 2016 through a collaboration with Maingear, the OMEN X is a cube-shaped gaming PC distinguished by its unique 45-degree angled chassis design.
OMEN Obelisk
The HP Omen Obelisk from 2019 features a compact microATX form factor and is powered by an Intel Core i9 CPU paired with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card.
OMEN L-series
In 2020, HP introduced the configurable OMEN 25L and 30L desktop models, named after their case volume measured in liters.
At gamescom 2024, the lineup was expanded with the addition of the configurable 35L desktops.
Laptop computers
HP’s Omen laptops are equipped with processors from both Intel and AMD.
Notable models include the HP Omen 16 and Omen 17, the latter featuring an approximately 17-inch screen.
