A new era for HyperX
HP announced at CES 2026 in Las Vegas that it is consolidating its OMEN and HyperX gaming businesses under the single HyperX brand. The move positions HyperX as HP’s flagship gaming ecosystem covering PCs, displays, peripherals, and software.
"Gamers deserve a seamless experience that matches their passion," said Josephine Tan, Senior Vice President and Division President of Personal Systems Gaming Solutions at HP Inc. The company said the consolidation aims to accelerate performance, personalization, and creative tools for players.
HyperX OMEN MAX 16
The HyperX OMEN MAX 16 is billed as a top-tier gaming laptop focused on raw performance and sustained thermals. HP highlights a 300W Total Platform Power target, enabled by new Intel Core Ultra 200HX processors, next-gen AMD Ryzen AI options, and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU.
Specs and design highlights
The laptop introduces an upgraded OMEN Tempest Cooling Pro system with a third fan and Fan Cleaner technology to maintain cooling efficiency in long sessions. Input responsiveness is emphasized via an industry-leading high-polling-rate keyboard said to poll up to four times faster than earlier models.
Visuals are handled by a 16-inch OLED WQXGA display with a 240Hz refresh rate and 500 nits peak luminance. OMEN AI will provide one-click FPS and system optimizations that adjust OS, hardware, and game settings automatically.
