HP OMEN 16

Computer games require the very highest in graphics power and high resolution. This comes at a cost, with high heat to be managed both for user comfort and keeping things running at peak performance. Air has to flow over components, without cycling hot exhaust air back through the intake. Gamers like to upgrade their computers. It has to be easy to upgrade. Game play has to be immersive, demanding excellent audio. And at all times, it has to look like hardware suitable for gaming, with a design language that allows for exposed vents, black finish and colored lighting.

The hinges for the display are elevated above the keyboard deck so that the entire back of the machine has free flowing thermal exhaust. The feet are wide prisms, keeping the thermal inlet clear, preventing recirculating hot air from the back of the computer into the inlet vent on the bottom the computer. The bottom enclosure has a single panel access door to upgrade memory and storage components. The keyboard deck and sideband are aluminum, with laser drilled speaker grille, and the trackpad has been inset with a CNC chamfer at its edge.

The HP OMEN 16 will make a positive impact on HP's gaming business performance. The OMEN brand exists to bring the performance and design language gamers desire at an affordable price point. Making the computer user-upgradable, equipping it with desktop-class graphics performance, and using CNC-machined, laser-drilled surfaces on the enclosure will have a positive impact on the sales of HP OMEN notebook computers.
