HP Omen (also known as sometimes simply Omen) is a line of high-end gaming PCs, laptops and peripherals manufactured by HP Inc. The name comes from the former VoodooPC's line of desktops that was inherited by HP. HP also offer a lower line of gaming computers called Victus, which replaced the Pavilion Gaming in 2021.[1]
The Omen competes with Lenovo's Legion, Dell's Alienware subsidiary,[2] Acer Predator and ASUS ROG series whereas the lower line Victus competes with Dell's G series, Lenovo's LOQ, Acer Nitro, and ASUS TUF.
History
[edit]Initially, this line of computers was known as VoodooPC, which was founded in 1991 and known for its high computing performance. It was acquired by Hewlett-Packard in 2006,[3] and began changing its brand name to Omen in 2014 using the same tribal mask logo design until 2020 when it was changed to a simple 45° square shape.[4]
On November 4, 2014, HP launched the Omen brand as a 15-inch gaming laptop and inherited VoodooPC's tribal mask logo.[5]
In February 2021, HP acquired HyperX from Kingston and no longer produces gaming peripherals.[6][7]
