HP’s Omen 15 launch and availability
HP has finally started selling its latest 15-inch gaming laptop in some capacity. To recap, the company announced the HyperX Omen 15 over four months ago during CES 2026 in Las Vegas. A smaller alternative to the Omen 16 (curr. $1,679 on Amazon), the Omen 15 appears to be exclusive to North America for now.
Processor variants and specs
In January, HP claimed that the Omen 15 would be available with the Core Ultra 9 386H alongside other ‘next-gen’ AMD Ryzen and Intel processors. Now, the company has clarified that these are the Ryzen 7 8745HX with Zen 4 cores and the Core Ultra 7 356H featuring Cougar Cove and Darkmont cores. According to our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 8745HX sits at the bottom of the pile. Whether newer AMD options will be available remains to be seen at this stage.
Graphics, battery, and display details
Setting that aside, the Omen 15 currently features a GeForce RTX 5070 (8 GB) laptop GPU and a 70 Wh battery. Also, includes a 15.3-inch IPS display that outputs at 1600p (2.5K) with a 16:10 aspect ratio, 500 nits peak brightness and a 180 Hz refresh rate. However, a 1800p (2.8K) OLED alternative will be available with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 500 nits SDR/1,100 nits HDR peak brightness.
Launch timing and stock expectations
HyperX Omen 15 orders with the Core Ultra 7 356H and Ryzen 7 8745HX should start shipping on July 3. Meanwhile, HP anticipates having stock of Core Ultra 9 386H variants between May 27 and June 1. Please see the company’s website and our launch article for more details.
