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.

The OMEN lineup has been HP's gaming go-to for years, and it incorporates several tiers of PCs to accommodate all types of users. Last year's high-end OMEN Transcend laptops came at us with more premium features and a sleeker design than its standard OMEN siblings, but it sacrificed raw power to keep itself relatively thin and light.

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.

Final price including shipping (but before taxes) should be $1209.99
