HP has announced during the CES 2019 that it will refresh its Omen15 gaming notebooks with a couple of hardware upgrades, but none are going to receive the same level of attention as that 240Hz display. Sure, there is a new wireless adapter inside the gaming machine but since the Omen 15 should be able to deliver buttery-smooth gameplay, it is going to be one heck of a feature for gamers who can spend that much money.

The HP Omen 15 With a 240Hz Refresh Rate Will Arrive in July, but Pricing Is Yet to Be Unveiled

The company plans to officially launch the Omen15 laptopswith NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU in February, and the variant with the 15.6-inch 1080p 240Hz IPS display and the new Wi-Fi controllersupporting the 802.11ax standardwill releasein July. The optional Full-HD TN display panel with a refresh rate of 240Hz and a response time of 4ms will be a huge improvement over the 144Hz LCDs in the marketand the presence of the RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU will help gamers achieve a significantly higher framerate.

Other specifications include an 8th-generation Intel Core i7-8750H processorwith sports a total of six cores. Not only is the machine beneficial for gamers, but it will help out creative professionals because of the increase in cores. There’s also16GB of RAM and a hybrid storage subsystem. The Omen15 bears a simplistic design, and it sports a red "X" on the back to differentiate it from other standard notebooks and make it look more like a gaming laptop. Overall, the design is largely the same as the previous model, featuring really thin side bezels, and an LED-litkeyboard.

The laptopis also light, weighing inat just 5.3 poundsbut it is heavier than ultrabooks obviously.For cooling,the Omen15is equipped with a dual-fan cooling system with four thick heat pipes and large radiators to dissipate heat. The laptop also provides easy access totheM.2 SSD, SO-DIMMs, and HDD for easier upgrades.

The Omen15 laptop with NVIDIA's next-gen GPUs and a regular display will start at $1,370, but the company has not disclosed the price of 240Hz display versionyet. However,considering the company has bragging rights with the Omen 15 being the first notebook feature a 240Hz display, don’t expect it to come cheap.
