HP has gained some strides with the Omen X Compact Desktop gaming device. It has also made a big splash in the virtual reality market with the MR headset. Although the idea has no flaws, the question here arises is that how much time till it stays in...

HP should be applauded for creativity, but the Omen X is a bad deal.

Some may say it's a “Bad OMEN”… (sigh at the bad joke). This is the HP OMEN X 900 and it's huge. It's a GTX 1080 & Intel i7 6700K based gaming PC and there is a lot you need to know. A lot. Want one? Amazon: prourls.co/kg3B - OverclockersUK Affiliate...

HP Omen X – Performance The Omen's GTX 1080 propelled the HP to good benchmark results. Its 3D Mark Fire Strike score of 17,223 is solid, and it soared beyond 120fps in every Full HD gaming benchmark. This card is designed for 4K, really, and it...

The Omen X attracts a lot of attention with its cubed design, angled structure and lighting. The modular interior sounds good, too, with separated components and an easier angle of entry.In reality, though, this machine is almost always disappointing....

The OMEN X 900-070a is the first pure gaming machine I've ever tried. True to form, HP have done their best to impress me with the quality of their build and the features packed into this behemoth. I noticed the frequency of their use of the root word...

The new HP Omen X is an awfully impressive VR gaming PC that brings an incredibly clever approach to the table. However, it also costs a small fortune to get in on the ground floor, making it a tough sell for...

Billed as the "flagship star" of its Omen HP range, the OMEN X is pretty stunning piece of kit. But besides its uber-cool look, HP's latest gaming desktop packs a powerful punch with top-mounted exhaust vents, three 120mm radiators and an innovative...

The HP Omen X is a bold statement when it comes to desktop computing. It is big, it is heavy and it doesn't even sit upright. And it is also a powerful compute device - the model I received from HP came with an Intel Core i7-6700K @ 4GHz, two NVIDIA...
