At the CES 2026 technology showcase, HP has launched a comprehensive update to its consumer computer range, introducing groundbreaking artificial intelligence capabilities and new designs. The star of the show is the OmniBook Ultra 14, which HP claims is the world's first consumer notebook to feature a neural processing unit (NPU) delivering a massive 85 trillion operations per second (TOPS). Alongside this, the company revealed the OmniStudio X 27 all-in-one PC and announced significant upgrades across its entire OmniBook family, featuring new processors and OLED displays.
OmniBook Ultra 14: Unmatched AI Power in a Sleek Frame
The newly announced OmniBook Ultra 14 is designed to combine extreme portability with serious computational muscle for AI tasks. A specific variant powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite processor is engineered to provide that headline-grabbing 85 TOPS of neural processing power. This allows the laptop to run several sophisticated AI applications at the same time without lag.
Despite packing this advanced technology, HP has managed to craft an exceptionally thin device. Measuring just 10.7mm, the company states it is the slimmest consumer notebook with such advanced AI features. It is reportedly 5% thinner than Apple's 2025 MacBook Air 13-inch model and 52% lighter than HP's own previous generation of similar laptops. Users do not compromise on screen quality or endurance, as it offers an optional vibrant 3K OLED display and promises battery life that lasts a full working day.
Durability has not been overlooked. The Ultra 14 has undergone and passed 20 rigorous military-standard (MIL-STD) tests for reliability, covering scenarios from accidental drops and shocks to operation in extreme temperatures. A unique and thoughtful addition is a built-in posture detection feature. This system monitors the user's sitting position and sends alerts if it detects slouching or the neck being held at an unhealthy angle, promoting better ergonomics.
HP is offering customers a choice: the Snapdragon X2 Elite variant for those focused on AI and multitasking, or configurations with Intel Core Ultra processors for users who need more power for graphics-intensive work like video editing and gaming.
OmniStudio X 27: A Creative Powerhouse for the Home Office
Targeting creators, designers, and professionals working from home, the OmniStudio X 27 all-in-one PC introduces several firsts. It boasts the world's first Neo:LED display in an all-in-one PC, which provides exceptional color accuracy with 100% coverage of both the Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 color gamuts. This makes it ideal for photo editing, graphic design, and video production.
Performance is driven by Intel Core Ultra 7 processors, with an optional upgrade to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 graphics card for handling the most demanding creative projects. A key innovation is its support for Thunderbolt Share technology—a first for a consumer all-in-one PC. This feature allows a user to connect their laptop directly to the OmniStudio X 27. Once connected, they can share a single keyboard, mouse, and webcam between both devices and transfer files between them seamlessly, creating a streamlined dual-computer workspace.
The integrated webcam includes a clever Surface View mode; it can tilt downward to capture a top-down view of the desk, perfect for sharing physical documents or crafts during video calls.
Full OmniBook Lineup Refresh with Stunning Battery Claims
HP's refresh extends beyond the flagship models to its complete OmniBook portfolio. The updated series will feature the latest processors from AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm, giving buyers a wide range of options to suit their needs and budget.
One of the most impressive claims comes from the OmniBook 3 16-inch model equipped with a Snapdragon X chip. HP asserts this laptop can deliver an extraordinary up to 45 hours of battery life, which it states is the longest endurance for any 16-inch OLED consumer AI PC on the market.
The new lineup will be accessible at various price points. The OmniBook 3 Series will start at an affordable $499.99, while the premium flagship OmniBook Ultra 14 will begin at $1,549.99. These new devices are scheduled to become available to consumers starting in January 2026, with a wider rollout continuing through the Spring of 2026.
This major announcement from HP at CES 2026 signals a strong push towards making powerful, AI-accelerated computing more accessible and integrated into everyday consumer devices, with a clear focus on design, durability, and user well-being.
