The Omen series leads off with two laptops simply called the Omen. They're identical black notebooks with red highlights — sorry, "dragon red" highlights, according to HP — around each key and on the lid. HP's logo only shows up on the inside; instead, the back of the laptops display a strange red diamond that looks vaguely gamery... or tribal... or something.
Pricing starts at $899.99 for the smaller model and $979.99 for the larger model. Both will be available starting July 10th. (Oh, and in case you're wondering: yes, the Omen name was introduced on another gaming laptop — and a mouse and for some reason a backpack — two years ago. Today marks Omen's expansion into a larger brand meant to encompass all future HP gaming products.)
The Omen Desktop will follow in August. HP hasn't announced full specs or pricing yet, but you can expect something at least as expensive and probably a lot more expensive.
The tower will use the smaller microATX form factor and offer options like Nvidia's Founders Edition graphics cards and water cooling. During a briefing, HP spoke extensively about designing the Omen Desktop to be a good machine for VR gaming, so even the machine's base specs are supposed to be powerful enough for a good experience.
