HP Philippines and HyperX used HyperX Center Stage in San Juan City to showcase the HyperX OMEN MAX 16, a flagship gaming laptop, while outlining a broader gaming portfolio that combines systems, peripherals and software under HyperX.
The event was held at Moon Rabbit Cafe in San Juan and brought together HP and HyperX representatives, gaming creators, key opinion leaders, media representatives and members of the gaming community. HP said the program included product demonstrations, interactive gaming stations and a head-to-head VALORANT 1v1 exhibition match featuring gaming creators.
Laptop specifications and cooling features
According to HP Philippines, the HyperX OMEN MAX 16 runs on an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. The laptop has a 16-inch 2.5K OLED display with a refresh rate of up to 240Hz.
HP said the system uses OMEN Tempest Cooling Pro technology, including a third fan intended to help manage heat during high-intensity gaming sessions. It also lists a Fan Cleaner function that helps keep the system free from dust.
The company’s photo captions showed the OMEN MAX 16 alongside the OMEN 16 and OMEN 15 gaming laptops, a HyperX monitor and gaming peripherals. Aimen Tan, identified in the release as Consumer Personal Systems Category at HP Philippines, presented the company’s HyperX OMEN gaming portfolio and previewed upcoming products.
HyperX as the master gaming brand
HP said it is bringing its HyperX and OMEN gaming lines together under HyperX as its master gaming brand. Its stated expanded portfolio covers gaming laptops and desktops, monitors, peripherals and software.
The ecosystem includes HyperX OMEN gaming systems; headsets, keyboards, mice and microphones; and software tools including OMEN Gaming Hub, OMEN AI and HyperX NGENUITY. HP said OMEN AI Beta offers one-click performance optimization by adjusting hardware, operating system and game settings, and that it learns and adjusts over time to help improve the gaming experience.
“By bringing together our gaming systems, peripherals, and software together under HyperX, we want to give gamers more ways to personalize their setups and enjoy their gaming experience. Our focus is on delivering performance while giving gamers more flexibility in how they play,” Tan said.
For local gamers, the San Juan event placed the HyperX OMEN MAX 16 alongside the wider product and software lineup HP says it is consolidating under the HyperX name.
