HP and its Omen gaming brand have pulled the wraps off some swanky new PC gaming hardware just in time for Computex and E3 2019, and it includes a pretty novel laptop with dual displays. Overall HP’s announcement runs the gamut and includes new gaming laptops, mice, mousepads, monitors, and even apparel. For us though, the laptop is the real star of the show.
Dubbed the Omen X 2S, this 15-inch laptop has a standard 144Hz 1080p panel and a secondary 6-inch 1080p display with touch capability directly below it. According to HP, it can be used for a variety of functions including watching YouTube, running apps or a web browser, showing system vitals, watching a Twitch stream, and even turning into a virtual number pad. It also has the ability to mirror any part of the screen, so you could put your mini map on there if you wanted. It’s a pretty novel concept but we certainly question the utility of it since you’d have to take your eyes off the screen to view its contents. Still, it’s interesting, and we can’t wait to check it out for ourselves, hopefully soon.
