HP releases new 15-inch compact gaming laptop with 180 Hz display
HP has finally started selling its latest 15-inch gaming laptop in some capacity. To recap, the company announced the HyperX Omen 15 over four months ago during CES 2026 in Las Vegas. A smaller alternative to the Omen 16 (curr. $1,679 on Amazon), the Omen 15 appears to be exclusive to North America for now.
In January, HP claimed that the Omen 15 would be available with the Core Ultra 9 386H alongside other 'next-gen' AMD Ryzen and Intel processors. Now, the company has clarified that these are the Ryzen 7 8745HX with Zen 4 cores and the Core Ultra 7 356H featuring Cougar Cove and Darkmont cores. According to our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 8745HX sits at the bottom of the pile. Whether newer AMD options will be available remains to be seen at this stage.
Setting that aside, the Omen 15 currently features a GeForce RTX 5070 (8 GB) laptop GPU and a 70 Wh battery. Also, includes a 15.3-inch IPS display that outputs at 1600p (2.5K) with a 16:10 aspect ratio, 500 nits peak brightness and a 180 Hz refresh rate. However, a 1800p (2.8K) OLED alternative will be available with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 500 nits SDR/1,100 nits HDR peak brightness.
HyperX Omen 15 orders with the Core Ultra 7 356H and Ryzen 7 8745HX should start shipping on July 3. Meanwhile, HP anticipates having stock of Core Ultra 9 386H variants between May 27 and June 1.
