Gaming is a growing industry in the Philippines, with almost half of the population playing video games. The industry’s revenue in the country was around $1.26 billion in 2020, and it is estimated to rise to around $2 billion in 2025. To cater to the demands of the evolving Filipino gaming community, HP continues to innovate and introduce gaming hardware and software built for every type of gamer. These include the thermally innovative OMEN 16 Laptop, accessible Victus 15 Laptop, and a variety of powerful updates to OMEN Gaming Hub to enable elevated gaming experiences for all.
“HP’s gaming ecosystem is an inclusive community that welcomes every type of gamer, whether they are professional, enthusiasts, or casual players who want to unwind after work. Our innovative gaming portfolio, which includes the OMEN 16 and Victus 15, is powered with all the essential features a gamer needs to play to progress and with purpose,” says Christian Edmond Reyes, the Philippines’ managing director for HP Inc.
Stay Cool Everywhere
Research has shown that Filipino gamers play every day. This frequency requires the latest advancements in hardware and software, so gamers feel truly immersed when they clutch that last-second win or defeat that once impossible boss. The OMEN 16 Laptop delivers new experiences that go beyond the expected to keep gamers connected, entertained, and excited for what comes next.
Revamped Thermals: Upgrades in the form of an added fifth heat pipe and fourth outflow vent have additionally contributed to a -3% GPU hinge and -14% bottom SSD temperature while also running 5% quieter compared to last gen so gamers can Zen out and stay fully immersed in their favorite titles.
Processors in Harmony: Cooperating with a built-in IR thermopile sensor, OMEN Dynamic Power within OMEN Gaming Hub can precisely detect real-time CPU and GPU capacity and dynamically allocate power between the two. This creates extra headroom and optimizes in-game FPS based on current game activity to allow the best experience possible in any game. This technology has contributed up to an 18% performance increase in 3D Mark Time Spy and up to a 36% increase in CPU performance over last year’s model.

Immersive Visuals: Action on the screen flows brilliantly across the up to QHD 165Hz IPS panel with 3ms response time and 100% sRGB. Experience low blue light with Eyesafe® display certification by TÜVRheinlan and an auto brightness sensor that works to keep eyes fresh during the grandest of adventures. The bright visuals continue on the keyboard with up to per-key RGB lighting with OMEN Gaming Hub Light Studio integration to achieve a look that is on point with any gaming setup theme.
