HP dropped what it’s calling its most powerful lineup of AI PCs yet—nine laptops spanning the EliteBook, ProBook, and OmniBook series. But this launch isn’t about flashy names or surface-level upgrades. These machines come equipped with dedicated NPUs capable of pushing 40 to 55 trillion operations per second.
HP is calling them Copilot+ PCs and claims these machines will embed AI into your everyday workflow. Whether it’s noise cancellation during Zoom calls, live file summarisation, or battery tuning based on your usage, HP emphasises that these features are built directly into the hardware.
The updated EliteBook and ProBook series clearly cater to hybrid workforces. You get enterprise-grade security (HP Wolf Pro), webcam smarts via Poly Camera Pro, and performance tuning that adjusts in real time. Prices start at ₹77,200 and go all the way to ₹1.46 lakh for the top-tier EliteBook 8 G1i.
While the business machines are solid, two OmniBook models stood out for actually blending smart features with solid everyday usability.
Lightweight at just 980 grams, well built, and seemingly well-tuned for daily productivity and graphics-focused tasks, thanks to the Ryzen AI chip with integrated Radeon graphics. This one has the potential to be the ultimate machine that strikes a balance between performance, portability, and value for money—especially considering it’s one of the most affordable 13-inch laptops available right now.
What really stood out about this laptop at first glance is its massive 16-inch, 16:10 display with a matte finish. It also features the Ryzen AI chip with Radeon graphics, making it seemingly well-suited for almost all kinds of workloads. There’s an upward-firing speaker grille too, so I’m curious to see if the audio lives up to expectations. Overall, a really promising 16-inch AI laptop.
Both models support features like drag-and-drop file sharing via Quick Share, context-aware audio adjustments, and the HP AI Companion for offline document analysis—no internet, no cloud.
HP’s OmniBook and EliteBook rebranding finally saw its big moment today—and it wasn’t just a name refresh. With a full-blown rollout of AI-powered laptops across segments, HP made it clear they’re not here to just join the AI conversation—they’re aiming to lead it. Every laptop in this lineup, from the sleek OmniBooks to the enterprise-ready EliteBooks, comes with on-device AI baked right into the hardware, not just slapped on as a buzzword.
Now, coming to my personal favorites—the OmniBook 7 Aero and OmniBook 5. No, they’re not the flashiest or the most expensive machines in the lineup. But they seem to be making the most sense for creators, freelancers, and anyone who wants a smart, portable laptop that can keep up without trying too hard.
I’ll be reviewing both these OmniBooks soon—so watch this space. There’s a lot to unpack.
