HP Omen
Gaming brand by HP Inc.
HP OMEN, also known as simply OMEN or OMEN by HP, is a line of high-end gaming PCs, laptops, peripherals and PC parts manufactured by HP. The name comes from the former VoodooPCs line of desktops that was inherited by HP.
The HP Victus is a line of mid-range gaming computers and laptops which replaced the Pavilion Gaming brand in 2021. Victus products are sold alongside OMEN products.
The HyperX brand of gaming mice, keyboards, microphones and controllers is also owned by HP after an acquisition from Kingston in 2021. Like Victus products, HyperX products are also sold alongside the main OMEN brand.
The OMEN line directly competes with Lenovo's Legion, Dell's Alienware, Acer's Predator and ASUS' ROG series whereas the Victus line directly competes with Dell's G Series, Lenovo's LOQ, Acer's Nitro, and ASUS' TUF.
In January 2026, HP merged the Omen brand with HyperX.
