Earlier this week, we first introduced you to the HP Omen X Emperium 65, which is massive panel developed under NVIDIA's Big Format Gaming Display (BFGD) initiative. While it was hard not to be impressed with the Omen X Emperium 65's specs sheet, we were more enamored to actually witness this gaming goodness in the flesh. In the video below, you can see our very own Marco Chiappetta playing Battlefield V with the display -- I mean, just look at it! First of all, gaming on a display that large is simply incredible, and unlike traditional 4K televisions on the market, you...

Remember those NVIDIA Big Format Gaming Display (BFGD) 4K HDR behemoths that were first announced back at CES 2018? While NVIDIA and its partners hoped to get products out the door sometime in 2018, the initiative was officially delayed in late August,with NVIDIA saying that products would begin shipping in 2019. Well, 2019 is here and we present to you the Hewlett-Packard Omen X Emperium. Although it's showing up a year late, the first of the massive NVIDIA-backed gaming displays looks to impress.

Most of the attention on NVIDIA's graphics development has been paid to its desktop lineup, with the recent launch of the GeForce RTX series built around the company's Turing GPU architecture. What about mobile? Well, NVIDIA might be prepping a new, lower-end discrete GPU for laptops, assuming a data sheet on HP's website doesn't contain a typo. As discovered by Reddit, HP has a new laptop in the works: Zhan 66 Pro 14 G2. I had never heard of the Zhan series before, but a quick Google search brings up several entries for the previous generation model, the Zhan 66 Pro 14 G1. My best guess is that...

It looks as though Geekbench is providing us with some pretty good insight on incoming Ryzen 3000 Series processor from AMD. However, these aren't the 7nm Zen 2 monsters that we've been talking about in recent weeks. Instead, the leaks pertain to upcoming Picasso APUs that pair 12nm FinFET Raven Ridge CPU architecture with Vega GPUs. We have to give a shout out to Hexus, which managed to track down three separate Geekbench listing for upcoming Hewlett-Packard notebooks. The three machines are as follows: HP Laptop 17-ca1xxx AMD Ryzen 5 3500U (2.1GHz) with Radeon...

Gaming headsets are a dime a dozen these days, particularly with the explosion of eSports drawing the attention of PC peripheral companies, new and old. Be that as it may, HP figured out a way to stand out from the crowd with its new Omen Mindframe, the first audio headset to employ an active cooling solution inside each of the earcups.

HP is refreshing its sleek and stylish Spectre X360 convertible laptops with new designs and upgraded hardware. This includes both the 13-inch Spectre X360 13 and 15-inch Spectre X360 15 models, though it is the smaller of the two that purportedly boasts extra long battery life—up to a whopping 22.5 hours, according to HP, for an Always-On, Always-Connected experience. That is a 37 percent increase over the previous generation. In our experience, real-world battery life usually trails rated metrics, but if the Spectre X360 13 comes anywhere close to 22.5 hours, it will be tantalizing selling...
