Omen X 2S first look – bonkers gaming laptop with TWO full-HD screens coming from HP
HP has unveiled a new gaming laptop that has two screens you can use at once.
The Omen X 2S is the latest entry in the firm’s great Omen range, and it comes with a full-HD touchscreen built into the body just above the keyboard.
At six inches, the screen is bigger than you’ll find on an iPhone X or a Samsung Galaxy S10, and you can use it to run anything you want from your PC while you’re doing something else in the main screen.
You can use it to control your game stream, to control music you’re playing on Spotify, or run your preferred chat program in it to talk to your mates who aren’t in-game with you.
It also offers “real-time screen mirroring” that lets you show any portion of your main screen on the mini-display — so you can blow up your minimap or other tactical info from your game and make it easier to see and read without taking up valuable screen real estate.
Its main screen is 1080p too, with Nvidia’s G-sync technology that synchronises your display with your graphics card, making sure graphics are as smooth as is humanly possible.
It will cost a whopping £2499.99 for the basic model, and £3499.99 for a souped-up version when it comes out this July.
The souped up one does come with all the bells and whistles though, in the form of an Intel i9-9880H processor, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD storage and an RTX 2080 graphics card.

The Omen X2S was revealed along with the new Omen 15 and Omen 17 models, which all have a bunch of upgrades over last year’s models.
New liquid metal compound CPU cooling combines with a new fan system to cool the latest mobile RTX graphics cards to create a real beast.
They all come with an updated Omen Command Center app too, which lets you monitor performance in real time via a dashboard on the second screen.
It also gives you direct control over the fans and power usage to get the most of your laptop at any given moment.
The update from HP also bought a bunch of goodies for desktop fans too.
Two new HD screens, the Omen X 25 and 25f, are on the way, and come with slimmer bezels than last time and boast 1ms response times to go with the already stellar performance.
The prices are going up, though — even the cheaper 25f will set you back £379.99 when it launches in July compared to the current £249 list price of the current OMEN by HP 25.

Finally there’s the Omen Outpost Mousepad and Outpost and Photon Wireless Mouse.
The mousepad has a wireless charging strip that runs along the top for you to charge your mouse when you’re not using it, or to charge your anything else you like (assuming it’s Qi compliant) when you are.
Because it’s got power from that charging strip, it also comes with RGB lighting – because what gaming desk would be complete without a multi-hued mousemat?
The latest additions complement HP’s other great gaming gear, like the great starter gaming PC that is Omen Obelisk, and the magical Mindframe headset that cools your head as you play.
