HP is announcing an updated lineup of notebooks at CES that includes new EliteBooks, a new Ryzen AI-powered ZBook workstation, and a fresh 16-inch Omen Max gaming laptop that can spin its fan in reverse to help clear out dust from its vents.

HP is sprucing up its Omen gaming brand with new iterations of its flagship Omen 16 laptop—featuring fresh silicon from AMD, Intel, and Nvidia—plus an appealing compact tower, the Omen 16L.

Each time CES rolls around, it's fair to say that big laptop makers like HP don't exactly hold back – this is the perfect opportunity to throw a whole heap of laptops out into the world. It can also be a little challenging to sift through for devices that haven't actually been mentioned before, which is exactly what I've been doing.

HP just announced the latest Omen Max 16 gaming laptop, a next-generation machine with the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 and AMD Ryzen AI 9 processors, up to 64GB RAM, and RTX 50-Series graphics cards. But I'm more interested in the cooling system.

Best Buy has one of the most value-centric laptop deals we have ever seen thanks to a very aggressive price cut on the RTX 4070-based HP Victus 16 gaming laptop. It happens to be one of the cheapest RTX 4070 gaming laptop options on offer currently and comes with plenty of power under the hood for gamers as well as business and power users.

HP starts the year strong by giving its EliteBook series an AI boost alongside the new OmniStudio X, which could dominate the all-in-one space.

HP is updating its Omen gaming lineup with two 16-inch laptops, a compact 16L desktop, and a lower-end Victus that now comes in three colors, including pink.
