At CES 2026, HP Inc. announced major updates across its consumer and business PC portfolios. The launch includes the new OmniBook Ultra 14, a refreshed OmniBook consumer lineup, and the EliteBook X G2 Series for enterprise users. Across all categories, HP is focusing on on-device AI performance, long battery life, lighter designs, and tighter integration of security and manageability features.
OmniBook Ultra 14
The OmniBook Ultra 14 is positioned as HP’s most advanced consumer laptop. It is offered with two platform options. The first uses an HP-exclusive Snapdragon X2 Elite processor with up to 85 NPU TOPS for AI workloads. The second uses next-generation Intel Core Ultra processors designed for graphics-heavy and AI-assisted tasks. HP states that both configurations are tuned for all-day battery life.
The laptop is 52 percent lighter than the previous generation and 5 percent thinner than the 2025 MacBook Air 13 with M4. Display options go up to a 14-inch 3K OLED panel. HP has added posture and wellbeing features that monitor neck tilt, slouching, and working angles during use. The system is tested against 20 MIL-STD-810 durability standards, covering drops, vibration, temperature, and other stress conditions.
HP also offers the OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 2-in-1 variant, which adds a flexible x360 design. This model features a 14-inch 3K OLED display with a 2880 × 1800 resolution, 48 to 120Hz variable refresh rate, 0.2ms response time, SDR brightness up to 400 nits, HDR brightness up to 500 nits, VESA HDR 600 support, and 100 percent DCI-P3 coverage. The panel supports Low Blue Light, flicker-free operation, and Delta E below 2.
Processor options include Intel Core Ultra 9 288V, Core Ultra 7 258V, Core Ultra 7 256V, and Core Ultra 5 226V chips paired with Intel Arc graphics. Memory options go up to 32GB LPDDR5x at 8533 MT/s, with storage up to 2TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD. The laptop includes a 9MP IR AI camera, quad speakers tuned by Poly Studio, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and a 64Wh battery rated for up to 16.5 hours of mixed use and up to 20.5 hours of video playback. It supports fast charging to 50 percent in about 45 minutes.
OmniBook consumer lineup refresh
HP also refreshed the broader OmniBook lineup, including the OmniBook X, OmniBook 7, OmniBook 5, and OmniBook 3 Series. These models cover a wide range of price points and use cases, from professional productivity and video calls to everyday home and student computing.
The refreshed models support processors from AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm. Platform options include next-generation Ryzen AI processors, Intel Core Ultra chips, and Snapdragon X2 Elite and Plus platforms. Select configurations qualify as Copilot+ PCs, enabling local AI features tied to Windows and supported applications. HP is offering multiple screen sizes and configurations across the lineup to reduce overlap between models while keeping upgrade paths clear.
EliteBook X G2 Series
For enterprise customers, HP introduced the EliteBook X G2 Series, which was named a CES 2026 Innovation Award Honoree. The lineup focuses on AI performance, enterprise security, serviceability, and mobility. All models are registered as EPEAT 2.0 Gold products.
For the first time, HP is offering AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm processors on the same EliteBook platform. The EliteBook X G2q is powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor and supports up to 85 NPU TOPS. The EliteBook X G2i uses Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors with up to 50 NPU TOPS and up to 180 total platform TOPS. The EliteBook X G2a is based on AMD Ryzen AI processors delivering up to 55 NPU TOPS.
Select models weigh under 1 kg and are designed for all-day battery life. Display options include standard WUXGA panels and optional 3K Tandem OLED displays. HP has redesigned the internal layout, reducing keyboard replacement time by up to 80 percent, which improves serviceability for IT teams.
Security features include HP Wolf Security for Business with quantum-resistant protection, HP Endpoint Security Controller, and hardware-level firmware safeguards. Other features include HP Smart Sense for dynamic power and thermal tuning, optional x360 Flip models with pen support, and color options such as Glacier Silver, Atmospheric Blue, and Eclipse Gray.
