HP’s New $2,000 Omen 16 Laptop is an Epic Love Letter to League of Legends Fans

by
14 October 2025
  • LoL-themed gear unveiled at Worlds: On Oct. 14, 2025 (Day 1 of the League of Legends World Championship in Chengdu), HP announced two Riot Games tie-ins: the OMEN 16 League of Legends Limited Edition gaming laptop and the OMEN 25 Gaming Monitor [1]. Both products carry League-inspired designs and “tournament-grade” performance, continuing HP’s collaboration with Riot Games [2].
  • Striking Runeterra design: The Omen 16 LoL Edition features a custom black-and-gold color scheme and League-themed details. According to HP, it has a “League-inspired design” with subtle touches like QWER/DF key callouts, Hextech gold accents, and even hidden in-game easter eggs [3] [4] (NotebookCheck notes these “easter eggs” reference Runeterra, LoL’s fantasy world [5]). HP boasts the laptop “feels like it was plucked straight out of Runeterra,” underlining its appeal to passionate League fans [6].
  • Top-end gaming specs: Under the hood, the LoL Edition is a high-end Omen 16. It can be configured with up to an Intel Core i7-14650HX CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 GPU, 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and a 1 TB PCIe Gen4 SSD for storage [7] [8]. Cooling is beefed up with a wider fan gap, extra heat pipes and quieter fans [9]. Display options include a 16″ 2560×1600 (WQXGA) panel at 240 Hz or a 1920×1200 (2K) panel at 165 Hz, both IPS with full sRGB coverage [10]. HP’s built-in “OMEN AI” optimization in the OMEN Gaming Hub can auto-tune performance and thermals with one click, keeping play smooth [11].
  • Pro gaming monitor: In tandem, HP introduced the OMEN 25 Gaming Monitor – a 24.5″ 1080p IPS display with a blazing 360 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time [12] [13]. This monitor has been selected as “the official display for global League of Legends and VALORANT esports events” [14], meaning pro matches on Riot’s Esports circuit will use it. It features VESA DisplayHDR 400, Nvidia G‑SYNC, and even “ClearMR 6000” blur reduction [15]. HP notes the OMEN 25 uses an 80% recycled-plastic enclosure and includes a headset hook and cable management [16] [17].
  • Pricing & release: The LoL-themed Omen 16 starts at $1,999.99 (U.S.) and is available for pre-order now on HP.com [18]. The OMEN 25 monitor will cost $419.99 and is expected to ship in November [19] [20].

Eye-Catching Design and Specs

HP’s new Omen 16 League of Legends Edition is essentially the existing 16-inch Omen gaming laptop dressed up for LoL fans. As NotebookCheck reports, the laptop’s black-and-gold chassis echoes LoL iconography, complete with Runeterra-inspired artwork and keyboard legends in an exclusive LoL font [21] [22]. HP’s press materials highlight custom touches – for example, the Q, W, E, R and D, F keys (core LoL hotkeys) are subtly called out in the design [23]. There are reportedly “plenty of easter eggs to discover” in the aesthetics (per HP) as a nod to the game’s lore [24].

Performance-wise, this is a high-end rig. It can be outfitted with an Intel Core i7-14650HX (16-core/24-thread, up to 5.2 GHz) and up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU [25] [26]. With 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and a 1 TB PCIe SSD, it matches or exceeds most gaming laptops of 2025. Two display choices let players pick between a fast 1920×1200 @165Hz panel or a sharper 2560×1600 @240Hz IPS panel [27]. Cooling is improved over previous Omen 16 models – the chassis now has a wider fan intake and additional heat pipes for quieter long-session play [28]. HP also touts its one-click OMEN AI mode (via the Omen Gaming Hub) to automatically tune power and thermals for top game performance [29].

NotebookCheck confirms these specs, noting the LoL Edition “can be configured with up to an Intel Core i7-14650HX processor and Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5070… 32GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and a 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD” [30]. The review highlights the two high-refresh display options (WQXGA 240Hz or 2K 165Hz) and the aggressive RGB hyperthreading-style ventilation. In short, the hardware is more than capable of running League of Legends (a relatively undemanding game) – HP’s goal is a luxury collector’s item for hardcore fans.

Official LoL Esports Display – OMEN 25 Monitor

The OMEN 25 monitor joins HP’s LoL-themed lineup as a tournament-grade esports screen. NotebookCheck notes it’s a 24.5″ 1080p IPS panel (common in pro gaming) with a staggering 360 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms GtG response [31] [32]. Crucially, HP and Riot confirm this is the official display for competitive League and VALORANT events [33]. In practice, that means the screens used on stage at Worlds 2025 and VCT tournaments will be Omen 25s, ensuring uniform visuals for pros.

Like the laptop, the monitor packs pro features: it’s factory-calibrated, covers ~99% sRGB, and supports Nvidia G-Sync/AdaptiveSync for tear-free gameplay [34]. It even carries a “ClearMR 6000” sharpness certification to minimize motion blur [35]. Ergonomically, it has full four-way adjustment, an RGB-illuminated logo on back, a headset hook and integrated cable management [36]. HP emphasizes sustainability here: the plastic housing is 80% post-consumer recycled content and the packaging is fully recyclable [37]. The Omen 25 is expected on sale by November 2025 at $419.99 [38].

Quotes from HP and Riot Leaders

HP’s senior executives underscore this launch’s fan focus. Josephine Tan, HP’s VP of Personal Systems Gaming, explained that today’s gamers “want gear that reflects how they play” [39]. She says the collaboration with Riot is meant to celebrate “both [all-out] competition and [all-in] fandom” – meaning performance and personalized style [40]. Chris Greeley, Global Head of LoL Esports at Riot Games, added that “Worlds is the ultimate celebration of League of Legends and our community”, and rolling out this hardware “as we kick off… Worlds 2025 in China” fits that moment [41]. In other words, HP is timing these LoL-branded devices to coincide with peak fan excitement around the tournament.

Media and analysts also note HP’s gaming pedigree. TechStock², a technology news site, recently praised HP’s Omen line for top performance – it called the HP Omen Max 16 (a related high-end model) “the best gaming laptop we’ve reviewed” for 2025 [42]. That reputation for quality underpins these special editions. As one tech writer put it, nothing about this laptop is subtle – it’s explicitly a collector’s item for LoL fans [43].

Pricing, Availability and Impact

The new LoL-themed Omen 16 and monitor are now live for preorder in the U.S. and select markets [44]. The laptop starts at $1,999.99, which is in line with its high-end components. (NotebookCheck notes a comparable MSI laptop with similar specs is around $1,663, so the premium here is largely for the custom theming [45].) HP says the Omen 25 monitor will retail for $419.99 and ship in November [46] [47].

This launch deepens HP’s partnership with Riot Games, which kicked off in 2024. Back in August, HP revealed an OMEN 35L desktop (Valorant Edition) and became the official PC provider for League and VALORANT esports [48] [49]. Now HP is extending that to laptops and monitors. The strategy is clear: by tapping into League’s massive, passionate player base (LoL remains one of the world’s most-played games), HP gets a marketing boost among gamers. For League fans, it means they can rep the game at home with a gaming rig that literally wears LoL branding.

Experts say these kinds of limited-edition collaborations help PC makers stand out. Analysts note that 85% of gamers value high frame rates and that personalization is a strong influence on purchases [50]. By offering a “League” laptop, HP aligns its brand with that desire. Whether players will flock to a $2K LoL laptop or a $420 LoL monitor depends on how deeply they love the franchise – but one thing is certain: HP has made a splash at Worlds 2025, and LoL fans now have a new way to show their pride.

  • Sunshine Biopharma's Momentum Flywheel Gains Speed Across Generics and Biosimilars (SBFM)
    October 14, 2025, 11:08 AM EDT. Sunshine Biopharma is building a momentum flywheel that blends revenue stability with strategic expansion. Starting with Nora Pharma's Canadian generics, the company generates real cash flow before moving into biosimilars with NIOPEG, raising leverage and widening margins. A $5 million digital treasury investment adds optionality, funding growth while limiting dilution as gains support the burn rate. Institutional interest follows: Aegis Capital reiterated a BUY with a $7 target, signaling validation for a multi-vertical strategy. Q1 revenue was $8.9 million (up 18% YoY) and Q2 revenue reached $9.41 million, with solid gross profit of $2.73 million and a modest net loss typical of early-stage biotech. Separately, preclinical K1.1 mRNA therapy shows tumor suppression in liver cancer models, underscoring underlying science.
  • IBM Among Latest 13F Filers: Hedge Funds Boost 03/31/2025 Holdings
    October 14, 2025, 10:53 AM EDT. At Holdings Channel, the latest batch of the 13F filings for the 03/31/2025 period shows IBM being held by 20 of 36 funds. The caveat: 13F only reflects long positions, not shorts. In the quarter, roughly 7 funds increased their IBM holdings since 12/31/2024, another 7 trimmed, and 2 started new positions. Across all funds in the 03/31/2025 group, aggregate IBM shares rose by about 4,106,942 to 11,625,000, a roughly 54.63% gain from 7,518,058 at 12/31/2024. The piece notes the limitations of looking at individual filings but suggests the aggregate shifts can reveal stock ideas. The latest data point highlights the continuing focus on IBM.
