HP Unveils Revamped OmniBook Lineup at CES 2026
At CES 2026, HP has launched an exciting array of updates to its OmniBook productivity laptops, spotlighting the flagship Ultra model engineered with an AI focus. Although specific pricing and availability details have yet to be announced, the new HP OmniBook Ultra 14 makes significant strides from its predecessor, transitioning from AMD Ryzen AI 300-series CPUs to Intel’s Panther Lake and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 series processors. This shift is anticipated to deliver a substantial performance enhancement for AI-centric tasks.
Stellar Performance with Snapdragon and Intel
The top-tier Snapdragon X2 Elite X2E-90-100 boasts an impressive 18-core design, featuring a neural processing unit capable of executing 85 trillion operations per second (TOPS). This outshines the previous AMD-powered OmniBook, which was limited to a maximum of 55 TOPS. While HP has yet to disclose specific TOPS figures for Intel’s next-gen processors, further details are expected soon, which could provide valuable insights into the device’s capabilities.
Enhanced Configuration Options
The OmniBook Ultra 14 offers an upgrade in RAM capacity, supporting configurations of up to 64GB instead of the former 32GB limit. Storage options now extend to a robust 2TB SSD. Both the Intel and Snapdragon variants will feature integrated graphics rather than dedicated GPUs, incorporating a compact vapor chamber cooling system designed to combat overheating during intense AI workloads.
Design Improvements and Display Features
Continuing with its commitment to portability, the OmniBook Ultra 14 is available in a sleek 14-inch model weighing just 2.8 pounds, slightly lighter than the earlier 3.5-pound version. It also presents an upgraded display resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels, using an OLED panel that surpasses the traditional IPS technology. Notable design enhancements include a haptic touchpad, which allows users to adjust audio volume and display brightness seamlessly.
Battery Life and Additional Launches
Battery longevity represents a significant advancement, with the upcoming OmniBook Ultra 14 expected to deliver up to 20 hours on a full charge, and some Qualcomm configurations potentially reaching an impressive 30 hours. As anticipation builds, additional OmniBook models are set to join the lineup, with HP promising the OmniBook 7 powered by next-gen AMD processors and the OmniBook 5, which will feature options for both Intel and AMD CPUs along with standard OLED displays. Sizes for these models will range from 14 inches to 16 inches.
Diverse Offerings with the OmniBook 3 and OmniBook X
The OmniBook 3 will provide further variety, featuring sizes from 14 inches to 17 inches and a choice of Intel, AMD, or Snapdragon processors. Additionally, the OmniBook X is expected to offer both a flip and traditional clamshell design, available in 14-inch and 17-inch sizes exclusively with Intel configurations for the clamshell versions. Starting with LCD displays, HP plans to introduce OLED options in the future, though these screens will not be applicable to the clamshell models.
As the excitement surrounding the OmniBook lineup grows, users can look forward to these innovative enhancements and configurations that promise to revolutionize productivity. For detailed updates on features and availability, visit Here.
