HP rolls out its first dual-screen gaming laptop ‘Omen X 2S’ in India

HP introduced a powerful lineup of OMEN and HP Pavilion Gaming innovations in India to raise the bar for gaming experiences. The OMEN X 2S – dual-screen gaming laptop – provides extraordinary power and multitasking capabilities, the OMEN 15  laptops bring exceptional power in their thinnest forms yet, and HP Pavilion Gaming 15 laptop offers outstanding versatility and mobility for gamers and creatives alike.

HP OMEN X 2S

The inspiration behind the OMEN X 2S 15 was derived from insights and feedback from the OMEN gaming communities. The modern gamers have a mobile screen-stacking habit, constantly communicating with their community on Twitch or watching livestream/game tips during gameplay. Gamers also use their mobile phones for messaging during gaming sessions, listen to music, and watch game related live streams, video content and browse websites. With this in mind, HP has added an unprecedented second screen to the OMEN X 2S in the form of an easy-to-use six-inch 1080p touchscreen that lets players message friends in WhatsApp, browse in Spotify, watch Twitch, YouTube, or even serve as a hub for OMEN Command Center software.

“Gaming it is not just a hobby but a fast-evolving lifestyle and, in select cases, a profession. At HP, we share our users’ passion and love for the game – be it beginners, enthusiasts or professionals. We have engineered the best experiences based on user insights to enable a holistic and exciting gaming ecosystem for the modern gamers in India,” said Sumeer Chandra, Managing Director, HP Inc. India.

“As the market leader, HP is democratizing gaming in India by bringing powerful devices and solutions that cater to the needs of all types of gamers,” said Vickram Bedi, Senior Director, Personal Systems, HP Inc. India. “We are pushing the paradigms of gaming innovations through disruptive new devices like OMEN X 2S, that provide unmatched experiences to the gamers and help them reach the next level.”

OMEN Command Center Updates 

Since its creation, OMEN Command Center has evolved as the software solution for managing and enhancing gaming hardware. The evolution continues with two additions coming to the platform for all three new OMEN devices. Performance Control cranks up fan RPM to either maximize cooling or performance, based on the chosen setting. The new OMEN Dynamic Power feature manages CPU and GPU wattage based on what a game is utilizing at a given moment to maximize FPS. Combined, these powerful additions serve to improve gameplay while also adding a level of flexibility.
