It has been almost a month since HP first launched its HyperX Omen 15 gaming laptop, which was reviewed last January as a smaller alternative to the Omen 16 model reviewed in late 2025 and currently available for $1899. Initially, HP sold the HyperX Omen 15 equipped with the GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card and processors including Core Ultra 7 356H and also Core Ultra 9 386H or Ryzen 7 8745HX.

Now, the company has expanded the options for this 15-inch laptop to include more affordable and cost-effective versions. In addition, HP is offering more expensive and powerful options for users looking for higher processor performance than what is offered by the Core Ultra 7 356H and also Core Ultra 9 386H or Ryzen 7 8745HX chips. Specifically, the HyperX Omen 15 laptop can now be configured with processors including Core Ultra 9 275HX or the advanced Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor from Intel's Arrow Lake HX generation.

According to certified performance tests, these new processors will offer a performance boost of between 30% and 40% compared to the current Core Ultra 9 386H model. In practical terms, these additional cores and higher power capabilities will translate into higher FPS frame rates in some games that heavily rely on CPU power. As an alternative option, HP's AMD-based version can be configured with the more powerful Ryzen 9 8940HX processor, although this is limited to the dedicated mobile graphics card Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060.

Beyond processing options, the HyperX Omen 15 laptop comes equipped with up to 32GB of DDR5 RAM and an internal storage capacity of 1TB PCIe Gen 5. Additionally, HP offers the option to choose between two display panels measuring 15.3 inches. The device comes standard with a 1200p IPS panel that combines a refresh rate of 165 Hz and a maximum brightness level of up to 400 nits. As an alternative, HP charges an additional $40 for a 1600p IPS display with a dynamic variable refresh rate (VRR) of 180 Hz and a maximum brightness level of up to 500 nits.

Despite the variety and abundance of configuration options available, all versions come with a 70 Wh battery consisting of 4 Class 4 cells. The price for the HyperX Omen 15 starts at $1999 for models equipped with Intel processors, marking a decrease from HP's previous official price of $2099. Meanwhile, models based on AMD chips now start at $1699. At the time of writing, the fully equipped top-of-the-line model costs around $3329.
