HP launches over 60 new PCs, introducing OmniBook line

HP recently presented over 60 new models of laptops and PCs at its annual conference, HP Amplify 2025. This includes various options like Intel, AMD, and Snapdragon versions of the same device, which HP counts as different models. The event showcased a wide range of computers, including desktop PCs and workstations. A major change in HP’s lineup is the introduction of the OmniBook branding. Older sub-brands like Pavilion, Envy, and Spectre have been replaced. The new OmniBooks come in different versions, each designated by a number. The OmniBook 3 is aimed at budget buyers, while the OmniBook Ultra targets high-performance users. HP also introduced new desktop PCs under the OmniDesk name and all-in-one models under OmniStudio. The company’s gaming PCs will still use the Omen and Victus names. HP’s business laptops retain their ProBook and EliteBook labels, though some specialized names are being phased out. A significant focus is on AI technology, with HP integrating capabilities into its new releases. The OmniBook 5 and above will include an NPU for running local AI features. Other models may not have this capability. Additional AI features, like webcam enhancements and document indexing, will also be available across different models. Among the notable new products, the HP Omen 16 Slim gaming laptop stands out for its thin design and strong performance. The OmniBook 7 Aero is praised for its lightweight and stylish build. The OmniBook 5 offers good value for its price and AI capabilities. HP also presented the Z2 G1a compact workstation, which boasts high power in a small form factor. Finally, the EliteStudio 8 all-in-one computer is designed for video conferencing, complete with built-in audio and webcam features. Overall, HP showcased a vast range of products that promise to cater to different customer needs, but the new naming conventions may take some time for users to navigate.
