"Among HP's many announcements for CES, its biggest overall change is for its gaming division. HP's Omen line of gaming laptops, monitors, and desktops are dropping the HP name entirely and instead will henceforth be branded as HyperX. The HP Omen 16 Max laptop becomes the HyperX Omen 16 Max. HP Omen monitors will become HyperX Omen monitors. And even the HP Victus 15's spiritual successor will be a HyperX Omen 15."
"HyperX was a gaming brand that HP acquired in 2021. At that time, it was well-known and regarded for its gaming headsets, mice, microphones, and keyboards, but it started back in 2002 under Kingston making DDR1 RAM sticks. Omen, on the other hand, has a pedigree based in making actual computers. It stems from the lineage of another HP acquisition, VoodooPC, a Canadian company founded way back in 1991 that made unique desktops."
HP is consolidating its gaming lineup by rebranding Omen laptops, monitors, and desktops under the HyperX name. The HP Omen 16 Max becomes the HyperX Omen 16 Max, HP Omen monitors are renamed HyperX Omen monitors, and the HP Victus 15's successor will be branded as the HyperX Omen 15. HyperX originated in 2002 under Kingston making DDR1 RAM and later earned a reputation for gaming headsets, mice, microphones, and keyboards. HP acquired HyperX in 2021. Omen’s pedigree traces to VoodooPC, a Canadian company founded in 1991 known for distinctive desktops. Many of the new products display spelled-out HyperX or Hx logos that may appear chintzy on computers.
