HP announces a refresh of the Omen 15 gaming laptop-- one featuring a redesign positioning the Omen as a multifunctional PC ideal for both work and play, with a choce of Intel- or AMD-powered internals.

HP adds the chassis is 11% thinner and 8% shorter than the previous model, while the 15.6-inch display sits on a 180-degree hinge. Another addition involves cooling, since an IR thermopile sensor provides "steady yet quiet" control of the fans pushing heat out of the large vents.
