HP’s Omen X VR Backpack Is Better Than You Think

At SIGGRAPH 2016 in Anaheim last week I had the unique opportunity to try Hewlett-Packard’s HP Omen X VR backpack. This is in addition to trying out the Zotac VR backpack at Computex in June and seeing Dell’s Alienware VR backpack at E3. Other companies like MSI also have VR backpacks, but these backpacks vary wildly in terms of size and weight. Some are modified SFF PCs while others are repurposed laptop components built into a VR backpack. What was made abundantly clear with all of these VR backpacks was that they are all prototypes and not anywhere near the finished product. But I will admit that the HP Omen X VR backpack PC had me fooled, because it looked like and felt like a finished product, even if it wasn’t.
