History

On September 28, 2006, HP purchased VoodooPC, a company that focused on making custom-made high-performance gaming computers. Earlier that year, Dell, a competitor of HP, purchased Alienware, a competitor of VoodooPC.

On June 10, 2008, VoodooPC introduced the OMEN brand.

On November 4, 2014, HP restarted the OMEN brand of gaming computers, which used the tribal mask logo from VoodooPC. The first product under the new brand was a 15-inch gaming laptop. In 2020, HP changed the OMEN brand logo from the tribal mask design to a simple 45° square shape.

In February 2021, HP purchased HyperX from Kingston and stopped making gaming peripherals.

In 2020, HP released the 25L and 30L series of customizable desktop computers. The number before the L shows how many liters of space are inside the case.
