HP just unveiled 60+ new laptops and PCs. Here are my favorites

At HP Amplify 2025, the corporate’s large annual convention for showcasing its newest services and products, HP unveiled practically the whole set of its new PCs for the 12 months. I misplaced depend in some unspecified time in the future, however HP claims over 60 new fashions of laptops and PCs.

While technically true, it’s a bit fudged—the corporate counts some variants of the identical laptop as separate. For instance, if the identical laptop computer is available in Intel, AMD, and Snapdragon choices, then each is a definite “model” even when all the things else is identical. That additionally goes for display screen sizes, 2-in-1 variants, and so forth.

Even so, there have been quite a bit of computer systems. I used to be there in particular person, wandering across the showroom with all the things on show, together with loads of different improvements (particularly for enterprise prospects), comparable to administration techniques, safety and printing options, and so forth. But I used to be there for the computer systems, from neat little desktop PCs to mighty workstations to laptops of every kind. There have been so, so many laptops.

OmniBook takes over the laptops

It was onerous to inform them aside, however HP goals to make them simpler to tell apart than earlier than. The older, complicated sub-brands—Pavilion, Envy, and Spectre—have been scrapped and changed by OmniBook. HP ushered in that line with a number of OmniBook laptops final 12 months, however now all the things shall be OmniBook going ahead.

These OmniBooks are then divided by suffixes. For instance, the OmniBook 3 is reasonable and easy, the OmniBook 5 extra “normal” and mid-range, the OmniBook 7 extra luxurious and lighter, and the OmniBook X supposedly on the prime… aside from the OmniBook Ultra, which is actually the high-performance tier.

Are HP’s laptops now simpler to parse? Maybe. Maybe not. I’ll have to return again in a 12 months or two when all of the older fashions have disappeared and OmniBook reigns alone.

But to make issues a bit extra complicated, there’s additionally the brand new OmniDesk line of desktop PCs and OmniStudio line of all-in-one machines. HP’s gaming PCs retain the names Omen and Victus (with solely a single mannequin launched within the latter). Business laptops are nonetheless known as ProEbook and EliteBook, however specialised mannequin names are apparently being phased out right here as properly. (I didn’t see any new “Dragonfly” ultra-light enterprise laptops, for instance, however some EliteBooks have been actually slim.)

Finally, there’s the Z collection of highly effective workstations for professionals, which get to maintain their names. Plenty of recent ZBook laptops and Z desktop PCs have been additionally on present.

AI is creeping into all the things

It’s no secret that HP is making a serious funding in AI. Expect all new releases, beginning with the OmniBook 5 and up, to be geared up with an NPU that can run local AI features. What concerning the budget-focused OmniBook 3? It’s unclear whether or not that one can even include AI capabilities. I didn’t see any, however possibly with time.

I couldn’t fairly determine if there was Copilot+ certification throughout the board, however HP has added a number of of its personal AI options to its machines, proper all the way down to the most affordable fashions.

For instance, there are Poly Studio (which provides webcam results and controls, plus noise discount for microphones) and AI Companion (HP’s personal AI app that indexes native paperwork and allows you to do semantic searches by way of a chat interface). All of this occurs regionally in your laptop’s NPU to maintain your information non-public and safe.

HP Omen 16 Slim. The new gaming laptop computer that’s barely 0.89 inches thick and solely weighs 5.29 kilos however has a quick 16-inch show, huge cooling components, and heavy efficiency below the hood with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 graphics.

HP OmniBook 7 Aero. A really fashionable 13-inch laptop computer that weighs about 2 kilos and packs loads of efficiency due to its AMD Ryzen AI 300 processor. It has respectable graphics efficiency, 50 TOPS for AI, and low-power operation. I’m actually wanting ahead to making an attempt this one.

HP OmniBook 5. This one is available in sizes from 14 to 16 inches and feels very secure, snug, and well-built for one thing that begins round $800. That’s a fantastic worth for a high quality laptop computer with AI efficiency, and it may very well be many individuals’s first AI PC.

HP Z2 G1a. When I examined Asus’ monster ROG Flow Z13 pill, I puzzled what a compact desktop PC with the identical processor (Ryzen AI Max Pro 395) might do with extra cooling and better energy. The reply is right here. HP has put it in a compact mini PC format and is promoting it as an HP Z workstation. It actually does go quick—and it prices. The AMD rep I spoke to stated it will be launched globally, however couldn’t say for certain if it was for all markets. I hope so as a result of I need to check it.

HP EliteStudio 8. This all-in-one laptop severely lives as much as its “all in one” epithet. With a big, built-in Poly webcam that pops up, audio system constructed for clear voices, and AI-powered microphone administration, together with Poly Studio software program, this machine is ideal as a video conferencing workstation. With its last-gen Intel Core Ultra processor, AI efficiency isn’t fairly as much as scratch, nevertheless it’s ok for many duties. KVM performance means you too can use it to dock your laptop computer. It definitely appears full and really all-in-one.

There might after all be extra highlights within the deluge of laptop information. If I have been to ask HP, they’d say each single one was a spotlight, so I used to be none the wiser. But these made my tester fingers itch and I hope all of them will be discovered and reviewed in the course of the 12 months.
