HP's answer to the MacBook Touch Bar is a gigantic screen over the keyboard

HP Omen X 2S

After the initial enthusiasm, on the part of the Apple community that awaited the renewal of the MacBook Pros, due to the touch OLED panel located on the top of the MacBook Pro keyboard, as the years have passed, it has been diluted, mainly because of the real utility it offers to users.

Many are the owners of this model who think that it has been a publicity stunt to sell more, since its real usefulness is still very limited, because very few developers have opted for it. HP has just presented its idea of ​​how a useful OLED display located on top of the keyboard can be implemented.

HP's new Omen range integrates a 6 inch In the upper part of the keyboard, a screen that can not only be used in a very similar way to that offered by the Touch Bar, but also, we can also use it as a second screen, for example, enjoy our favorite videos on YouTube while we are working, browsing or even playing games.

This is where they are confirmed, once again, the limitations offered by the elongated size of the Touch Bar, limiting itself only to providing keyboard shortcuts, in addition to offering the functions that we could already find in the upper part of the keyboard of the old MacBook.

The 6-inch screen offers us a 1080p resolution, it's touch And if we start to compare, it is as if we had an iPhone XR inserted on top of the keyboard. The Omen range is intended for users who want to enjoy their favorite games wherever they are.

According to the manufacturer, this function is ideal for in addition to using Discord, to watch game tutorials while we play, to always have the Twitch dashboard while streaming through the platform... In fact, one of the promotional images shows us precisely the Twitch control panel (top image) on the 6-inch screen.

    You know that Apple only throws a little of what it has planned to obtain information on the behavior of users with its new novelty as well as the level of interaction and acceptance. It only gets soaked and gradually introduces us to what they will bring next. And you know they will do it better than anyone else
