Today HP Inc. unveiled a new class of next-generation AI PCs at
Microsoft’s AI Vision Event designed for the AI era to empower
people to work and create more meaningfully.
The way we live and work is no longer confined to a desk; we are
creating at home, from the office, and everywhere in between. At
the same time, AI is rapidly changing everything, including
consumer and professional expectations for productivity and
creativity. More than half of early tech adopters believe AI will
save them time5, and 72% of business leaders believe AI will help
employees focus on more productive work.6 Additionally, developers
are releasing a steady stream of AI-enabled software designed for
new experiences and capabilities that can only be unlocked with
next-gen AI PCs.
To capitalize on both flexible work and AI, HP has created a new
category of devices crafted for work and creation. Today, HP
unveiled the HP OmniBook X AI PC and HP
EliteBook Ultra AI PC, HP’s first next-gen AI PCs built
from the ground up with the latest ARM architecture to harness the
most powerful AI technologies.
Both devices are designed and engineered around the Snapdragon®
X Elite processor7 and its dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU)6,
capable of 45 trillion operations per second (TOPS) to run language
models and generative AI locally on the device. Coupled with
Copilot+ PC and its transformative features like Recall, these PCs
supercharge creativity and productivity for a more personalized,
powerful computing experience.
More AI apps are available every day, expanding the
possibilities of what can be achieved with the newest HP next-gen
AI PCs. Communicate and collaborate more effectively with AI tools
that leverage gestures, facial expressions, and voice interaction
to easily interact with others. Improve presentation skills in
virtual meetings with real-time coaching and feedback powered by AI
technologies. Create and edit photos, audio, and video faster than
ever with AI-enabled software that make pro features easy even for
beginners.
“In this transformative era of artificial intelligence, how we
define an exceptional device is no longer about speeds and feeds –
it is measured by our ability to create and enable meaningful
breakthrough experiences,” said Alex Cho, President, Personal
Systems, HP Inc. “We’re at the beginning of a new decade of
personal computing that will redefine what a personal computer is.
AI enables a fundamentally more personalized and creative
experience we believe will empower people in both their personal
and professional lives.”
Uniquely Designed to Break Barriers HP’s latest
next-gen AI PCs unlock capabilities beyond traditional PCs, running
AI locally on the device for maximum performance, efficiency, and
privacy with longer battery life than ever before. The HP OmniBook
X and HP EliteBook Ultra are designed for tech-savvy freelancers
and on-the-go leaders with a sleek design and the perfect synergy
of AI-enhanced power and mobility.
- Sleek & Versatile – As the world’s
thinnest next-gen AI PCs with 26 hours battery life8, these devices
take productivity and creativity to new heights with unprecedented
style and mobility. Both PCs feature HP’s new AI Helix Logo,
reflecting HP AI engineering that delivers optimized performance
and security for AI today. The HP EliteBook Ultra adds an
additional layer of durability for commercial customers in a blue
finish with a smudge-resistant Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)
coating.
- Lightning-Fast Responsiveness – With the HP
OmniBook X and HP EliteBook Ultra, experience top performance
without sacrificing portability. Open a large Microsoft Excel file
almost 2x faster9, stream up to 12 hours of Microsoft Teams calls
or binge up to 22 hours of Netflix streaming.10
- Responsibly Crafted – As part of the world’s
most sustainable PC portfolio11, both devices incorporate 50%
recycled aluminum12 in the covers and 100% sustainably sourced
materials for packaging13, along with EPEAT® Climate+ Gold
Registration and ENERGY STAR® Certification. Representing HP’s
commitment to sustainability, the HP EliteBook Ultra’s three-year
warranty saves costs and decreases downtime for professionals
working in a mix of environments.

Intelligently Optimized to Power AI
ExperiencesWith 60% of freelancers already using AI tools
in their work14, and 70% of developers adding AI to existing
applications15, HP architected the HP OmniBook X and HP EliteBook
Ultra to take advantage of the newest features and software
experiences, including:

collaboration in-person and virtually, state-of-the-art
conferencing tools are critical. The new Poly Camera Pro16 uplevels
virtual interactions across all collaboration and streaming apps17
across multiple cameras.18 Poly Camera Pro utilizes the NPU to
power AI enhancements like Spotlight, Background Blur &
Replace, Auto Framing, and more, allowing the CPU to maintain
performance more efficiently while preserving battery life.
- Explore & Optimize – First available on
today’s next-gen AI PCs, HP AI Companion uses AI to optimize the
device for greater productivity while bringing AI tools locally
onto the device.
- Work Protected – As AI advances, trusted
security measures are essential for AI PCs. Commercial users can
confidently do their best work from anywhere on the HP EliteBook
Ultra, with Wolf Pro Security Next Gen Antivirus (NGAV),19 which
harnesses the power of machine learning to defend against new and
known threats. As a Microsoft Secured-Core PC, the device is
designed to protect the PC down to the firmware level with hardware
security features that shield user credentials and other critical
data.
