Design-wise, the laptops flaunt an all-Black metal chassis and measure 2.38kg on the weighing scale. The only difference between the two machines is that the Omen 15 comes with a conventional RGB backlit keyboard layout and no second screen.
The striking feature of the Omen X 2S 15 is the 6-inch secondary screen located above the keyboard. The display offers touch functionality with full HD resolution. HP says that the second screen can be used to message friends, browse Spotify, watch Twitch and YouTube, etc. The device also comes with a screen mirroring feature that can cut and magnify parts of the main screen – including copying the map portion of a racing game – to the second screen, ensuring the vision is centered and head movement more vertical than horizontal. The keyboard is backlit and offers the option to customise the colours and lights. The touchpad on Omen X 2S 15 is also positioned on the right side.
