A Romanian reseller has accidentally leaked the upcoming HP OMEN next-generation lineup, after listing them on their store.

Twitter user momomo_us spotted the laptops, which feature not only the RTX 4000 chips but also the Intel 13th generation Raptor Lake CPUs.

A strange omission is the leaked RTX 4050 GPU, which also leaked recently. Nvidia’s attempts to ensure its dominance on the laptop circuit is a continued uphill battle, as the laptops housing RTX 30-series and below have almost always suffered from battery life issues.

In our reviews of gaming laptops like the Blade 15 and Aorus 17, we found that the heftier the chip, the less likely it was that the battery was going to last further than a couple of hours.

There’s scant other information surrounding these laptops, but the pricing seems to fall in line with where modern PCs are at these days.
