The latest versions of HP's Omen 15 and Pavillion Gaming 16 laptops are now available for purchase in India. The former is a no holds barred solution for those without budgetary restraints, while the latter aims to balance price and performance. Both laptops come in various flavors and can be configured with 10th-generation Intel chips. The HP Omen 15 also comes with AMD Ryzen options for Team Red enthusiasts.

The HP Omen 15 comes with a 15.6-inch OLED panel. Its refresh rate depends on the choice of SKU, with lower-end models relegated to 60Hz. The latter also comes with a 1080p screen, while the higher-end versions are 4K. There is a 300Hz 1080p version too. CPU choices range between the Intel Core i5-10300H, Core i7-10750H, and AMD Ryzen 7 4800H. GPU options start with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 and max out at the GeForce RTX 2070 MaxQ. The entry-level version will get you a 512GB NVMe SSD and 8GB of RAM. It can be bumped up to a 1TB SSD and 32GB of RAM. The laptop's gamer-y aesthetic is further accentuated by its RGB keyboard and an Omen logo at the back. It is priced at INR 79,999 (US$1,072) for the base variant. That number can go as high as INR 180,999 (US$2,427) for the specced-out version.
