I spent 2 weeks testing the HP Omen 35L and it's the only gaming PC I'll ever need — if my wallet will allow it

The HP Omen 35L is a smartly designed gaming PC that's built to last, but is it worth the high price it demands? Here are my thoughts after two weeks of testing.

I just tested the HP Omen Max 45L and it's a seriously powerful gaming PC — but it'll crush your wallet

The HP Omen Max 45L impresses with its imposing design and powerful gaming performance. Though expensive, it delivers a no-compromise gaming experience.

I tested the HyperX Omen 15, and it almost made me forget my PS5

The HyperX Omen 15 pairs a subtle design and crisp OLED with good RTX 5070 gaming performance. Battery life, fan noise, and bloat keep it from perfection.

I switched to HP's $6,000 Omen Max 45L pre-built gaming PC for two weeks, and the price isn't what's giving me second thoughts

I switched to HP's Omen Max 45L pre-built desktop gaming PC for a couple of weeks to see what it's all about. Although I love the Cryo Chamber cooling design, it falls behind top alternatives in several key areas. Here's what you need to know before buying.

I tested this HyperX OMEN 15 gaming laptop and its RTX 5070 graphics inside, but the OLED display stole the show

NVIDIA's DLSS keeps the RTX 5070 competitive in this HyperX OMEN 15 laptop, but OLED stands out as the killer visual feature — if you can live with the noise.

HP now has a gaming laptop subscription service, offering RTX 5080 GPUs for $130 a month — and you'll never own that PC

HP has quietly launched an OMEN gaming laptop subscription that offers hardware up to an RTX 5080 for $129.99 a month. The service includes a 30-day trial, a 12-month lock-in, yearly upgrade options, and steep cancellation fees, but no path to ownership.

Here's why you won't see HP gaming laptops anymore — thankfully, this change makes a whole lot of sense

There are no HP OMEN gaming laptops at CES 2026, but the reason for that is different from what you might think. The HP OMEN line of gaming hardware is now under a new name, but the change makes sense.

HyperX just dropped a jaw-dropping 34-inch 360Hz curved QD-OLED monitor — and we're blown away by its incredible tech

At CES 2026, HP and HyperX revealed four new OMEN gaming monitors, with three using OLED technology. The most exciting of the bunch, though, is the ultrawide.

HP's latest ultrawide gaming monitor is the safe option, but I hoped for a little better

I've been using the HP OMEN 34c (G2) ultrawide gaming monitor, and it's a great display in most respects. It plays it safe, though, and doesn't get it all right.
