OMEN also offers a more sustainable PC made with ocean bound plastics and recycled materials. Both laptops use recycled aluminum for the keyboard surface, speaker boxes with a combination of post-consumer recycled and ocean bound plastic, and keycaps utilizing recycled plastic. Laptops are packaged with outer boxes and fiber cushions that are 100% sustainably sourced and recyclable.
Victus by HP 16 comes with options up to QHD14 165 Hz and Eyesafe low-blue light and fits snug atop a design that boasts a nearly 15-inch footprint for practical everyday portability.
