From foldable screens to touchpad displays, we've seen all sorts of crazy ways in which laptop makers are trying to stand out from the competition. Now HP has joined the crowd with the Omen X 2S, a gaming laptop that features a primary 15-inch display along with a secondary 6-inch screen that's built into the deck.
Claimed to be the world's first dual-screen gaming laptop, the Omen X 2S is designed to offer multitasking capabilities for various activities and a support with dedicated hotkeys.
The Omen X 2S' primary 15-inch display has a resolution of 1080p and a 144Hz refresh rate for smoother motion when gaming or watching videos. There is also an optional 4K display with a 240Hz refresh rate for dedicated gamers and e-sports players who need to react faster than their enemies.
The secondary 6-inch, 1080p acts a lot like the GamePad on a Nintendo Wii U, displaying additional information you couldn't fit on the primary screen. You can also use the mini-display to set macros and monitor system performance. Perhaps the best use for the display is to pin resources you'll frequently refer back to, like the world map in an RPG or your inventory in a battle royale.
The Omen X 2S is HP's flagship gaming laptop, and as such, packs some powerful mobile components, including up to a 9th Gen Intel Core i9 CPU, up to 32GB of RAM, up to a 1TB SSD, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q graphics with 8GB of VRAM. The RTX 2080 is the highest end graphics card from Nvidia, and capable of playing the latest games at Ultra graphics settings. And, of course, it supports ray tracing for more realistic lighting and reflections.
Designed from insights and feedback from the Omen gaming communities, the Omen X 2S has been priced at Rs 2,09,990 and will be available from July 1.
"As the market leader, HP is democratising gaming in India by bringing powerful devices and solutions that cater to needs of all types of gamers," says Vickram Bedi, Senior Director, Personal Systems, HP Inc. India. "We are pushing paradigms of gaming innovations through disruptive new devices like OMEN X 2S that provide unmatched experiences to the gamers and help them reach the next level."
While Samsung is struggling to fix its first-ever foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Fold, to relaunch it for the masses, IBM is going ham with the whole foldables concept. The well-known tech giant seems to be jumping into foldables with high hopes and a passion that shows in their latest concep t. IBM has apparently patented a smartwatch that features a number of foldable screens, which can all unfold and turn the tiny gizmo on your wrist into a full-fledged phone and tablet PC. Sounds ludicrous, right? Well, Lets Go Digital was the first to spot this patent, which was granted in June earlier this year. Titled ‘ Variable display size for an electronic display device,’ this IBM patent focuses on smart wristwatches with a massive and almost bezel-less display – rectangular in shape and resemblant of a miniature smartphone screen . Now comes all the crazy and absurd part of this patent. The smartwatch screen has seven displays of a s...
A 5G iPad is said to be in the development by Apple but there are no concrete timelines to when it will launch. Apple may be planning to join Huawei and Samsung in launching a foldable smart device. A foldable iPad that will support 5G connectivity is in the works as Apple is highly anticipated to enter the 5G market. The foldable iPad will have a MacBook-sized screen, which will allow folding from the centre to convert into a phablet, according to a report by Economic Daily News, citing a London-based IHS Markit’s analyst Jeff Lin. The size is not mentioned as of now. However, if the previous iPad models are anything to go by, the display size on the purported device does not come as a surprise. But there are concerns over the device’s usability, considering Apple has been marketing the iPad as a substitute for PC. The report begs the question of whether an iPad that could unfold to a 13-inch or 15-inch device would be “compelling”. Samsung & Huawei are the teachers Th...
