HP’s Alex Cho: Making gaming products for a hybrid world

Interviewing Alex Cho, president of HP Personal Systems, has become an annual ritual as the company unveils its plans for the Consumer Electronics Show.

HP Personal Systems is showing up with a variety of new products, including a bunch of Omen gaming systems with the latest processors and graphics chips. I talked to Cho about the trends that he has seen and the tech that HP is showing off this week at CES 2022, the annual tech trade show in Las Vegas. We talked virtually about a show that was taking place partly in-person, partly online. And companies like HP are still figuring out how to make products for our hybrid world.
