Why you should buy the HP OMEN Gaming Laptop

Gaming laptops require the kind of reliable power and performance that only certain PCs can muster. Fortunately, the Omen is one of these prized machines. This Windows 11 PC has an Intel Core i7 that delivers up to 5.5GHz clock speeds, along with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. Depending on how much gaming you actually do, you may or may not want to add more storage. (And luckily, we have a solid roundup of SSD deals for you to look through, too!)

Bytes aside, those are some solid internal components that guarantee optimal performance across the board, along with visually rich graphics. This laptop has a 16-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) screen that delivers up to a 165Hz refresh rate and 7ms response times. The IPS panel also contains an anti-glare coating to keep ambient lighting at bay and a Low Blue Light mode for reducing LED strain to your retinas.

On a full charge, you should get up to five hours of game time on the Omen and close to seven hours for HD video playback. This configuration comes with several USB ports, too, along with an HDMI 2.1 port for routing video to an external display. We’ve got plenty of great monitor deals for you to look through, too!

Take $500 off the price of the HP Omen Gaming Laptop when you order through the manufacturer today, and be sure to check out some of the other gaming laptop deals we’ve been finding.

Gemini could finally let you choose how friendly it sounds
Finally, you can stop Gemini from sounding like your HR manager
Google Gemini

Google has spent the past few months making Gemini sound more natural, expressive, and conversational. Now, it appears the company is preparing to give users far more control over how the AI speaks.

Code spotted by Android Authority's APK Insights - the latest beta version of the Google app suggests Gemini may soon allow users to customise its voice across four separate parameters: Energy, Formality, Warmth, and Speed. Instead of choosing from a fixed list of personalities, users could tweak these characteristics to create a voice that better suits their preferences.
