HP has been ramping up its Omen line over the past couple years to serve the high-end gaming community, and now it’s taking a swing at more casual gamers with its new Pavilion Gaming line. At launch, the line includes two desktops, a laptop, and a display, and HP says that it’s all meant for people who are interested in gaming, but aren’t necessarily buying their PC solely to play games.
The Pavilion Gaming Laptop comes in one size, a 15.6-inch model, but will be offered in a number of configurations, going as low as $799. They’ll all have 8th-generation Core i5 or i7 processors (either U- or H-series), 8GB of RAM, and some combination of a 1TB HDD and solid state storage. They’ll be offered with either a Radeon RX 560X, a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, or at the higher end, a GTX 1060 Max-Q. It can also be configured with 16GB of Optane memory.
