HP Omen X 2S gaming laptop with dual screens launched in India

Showcased back in May this year, the HP Omen X 2S has made its way to India. The striking feature of the Omen X 2S is that it is fitted with two screens which aim to enhance the gameplay experience.

HP Omen X 2S specifications

Touted to be the world's first gaming laptop with dual displays, the Omen X 2S enables the user to multitask without losing any focus. Its 6-inch Full HD secondary display is positioned above the keyboard and uses real-time screen mirroring. There are a bunch of use cases that HP has listed including watching a video while working on the main screen but the one that will excite most gamers is the ability to mirror a game on the smaller display and control it individually to perform specific actions like accessing the map at all times.

It is crafted out of metal and weighs approximately 2.3kg. The keyboard on the laptop is backlit with 4-zone customization along with a side-mounted touchpad which also supports multiple gestures.

The Omen X 2S is powered by 9th Gen Intel Core i7-9750H processor clocked at 2.6GHz and up to 4.5GHz with Turbo Boost. An 8GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 MaxQ graphics make sure that the laptop can power through popular titles without breaking a sweat. It is paired with 16GB of RAM which can be expanded by up to 32GB and two 256GB M2 SSD as storage drives.

The laptop has dual speakers which have been tuned by Bang & Olufsen along with support for DTS Headphone X. I/O ports includes a single USB Type-C, three USB Type-A ports, Headphone out/Microphone-in jack, one RJ-45 and HDMI ports.
