HP's New Gaming Laptop Omen X 2S Has 2 Screens

HP's newest gaming laptop embeds a mini LED touch screen above the keyboard so you can view other applications while you play your favorite games.

The Omen X 2S is the world's first dual-screen gaming laptop, according to HP. The device's main screen comes in at 15 inches, but in the event you'd like to chat over Twitch or access Spotify while you game, you can easily do so with the help of the 6-inch screen below.

HP designed the product to appeal to gamers, particularly in China, who often use their smartphones to chat with friends, listen to music, or watch videos while they game over a PC.

The second screen—which has a 1080p resolution—can also be used to enhance your existing gaming experience. According to HP, you'll be able to mirror any portion of the laptop's main screen on to the smaller panel below. For example, you can make it display the in-game map to a strategy title or a first-person shooter. The touch screen can also let you view the Omen Command Center app, so you can view how well a game performs on the laptop and adjust its hardware settings accordingly.

The Omen X 2S will arrive next month starting at $2,099. As a high-end gaming laptop, it'll come equipped with a Max-Q version of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card. You can also configure it with a ninth-generation Intel Core H-series CPU running six or eight cores.
