HP ups the game with smarter systems, cooler builds, and gear that hits different

HP Inc. unveiled the next evolution of its OMEN and HyperX gaming ecosystem today at its inaugural Level Reforge event. Powered by AI, built for creators, and engineered for players who demand more from every session, the new lineup allows you to stay in control. PC gamers continue to raise the bar for what they expect from their gear, from smarter performance to more expressive setups. Building on the momentum from CES and HP Amplify earlier this year, the company’s latest launch delivers OMEN AI across more devices, including the powerful new OMEN MAX 45L desktop and HyperX’s latest personalised audio lineup.

OMEN MAX 45L – Powerful, High-Performance

Targeted at gamers craving elite performance and effortless upgradability, the OMEN Max 45L sits at the top of the OMEN portfolio and is expected to be available in 2026.

Their AI delivers real-time optimisation with minimal input so players can stay focused on the game, not the settings.
