HP last week introduced several new additions to
its Omen by HP gaming hardware line: 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch laptops, a
desktop PC and a 32-inch Quad HD4 display.
The laptops will be available next month at HP's website and at Best
Buy stores, with a starting price of US$900; the desktop and display
will be available in August at HP online and at select retailers, with
pricing as yet undisclosed.The notebooks "address the gamer who wants ... a gaming machine without breaking the bank," said Mike Nash, VP of portfolio strategy and customer experience at HP.
Gaming hardware sales fell more than $41 million year over year in April, according to NPD, which raises the question of whether HP's Omen line can make any headway in the market.
"When we look at the PC gaming market, we are extremely excited about the possibilities," Nash told TechNewsWorld. "Things like DirectX 12 and new graphics cards, which we believe will spur the gaming hardware market forward, are in the process of being launched by our
partners."
