HP used HP Elevate 2026 to show a broad hardware push that reaches from AI laptops to gaming desktops and business machines. The lineup suggests the company is no longer presenting one clear category, but several product fronts at once.
That approach matters because the devices on display are aimed at very different users, from mobile professionals and creators to gamers and small businesses. HP also brought monitors and all-in-one systems into the mix, turning the showcase into a fuller ecosystem rather than a simple laptop launch.
AI laptops take the spotlight
The most prominent consumer line was OmniBook Next Gen AI PC, a family built around performance and portability. On select models, HP says the lineup can reach up to 50 NPU TOPS, signaling a stronger focus on on-device AI tasks.
At the top of the group sits OmniBook Ultra, which uses the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H processor. It pairs that chip with up to 64GB LPDDR5X 9600 memory, up to 2TB PCIe Gen 5 storage, and a 3K OLED display with low blue light support.
The display also reaches 500 nits, supports VRR from 30-120Hz, covers 100% DCI-P3, and is tuned to Delta E <1. HP is clearly targeting users who want premium performance without giving up a thin and portable form factor.
For buyers who want flexibility, OmniBook X Flip arrives as a premium AI 2-in-1. It can be configured with either Intel Core Ultra 9 386H or AMD Ryzen AI 9 465, alongside up to 32GB LPDDR5X memory and up to 1TB PCIe Gen 4 storage.
HP also introduced OmniBook 7 as an ultra-light AI PC weighing under 1 kg. It uses the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, 16GB LPDDR5X memory, 512GB PCIe Gen 4 storage, and a 13-inch WQXGA IPS anti-glare display with 400 nits of brightness.
OmniBook 5 sits below it with up to Intel Core Ultra 7 355 or AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 processors. The model offers up to 32GB LPDDR5X memory, up to 1TB PCIe Gen 4 storage, and a touch OLED low blue light panel with up to 2K resolution.
OmniBook 3 rounds out the range with up to Intel Core Ultra 7 355 or AMD Ryzen 7 160 processors. HP positions it as a general-purpose AI laptop for users who want dependable everyday performance.

Gaming hardware gets a sharper edge
HP also used the event to push its gaming portfolio, led by the HyperX OMEN Series. The headline product is the HyperX Omen 16 Valorant Limited Edition, developed with Riot Games specifically for Valorant players.
The laptop takes visual cues from the game through its color choices, keyboard accents, and hidden easter eggs. Inside, it carries an AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D processor, up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics with 8GB VRAM, 24GB DDR5 memory, and 1TB PCIe Gen 4 storage.
For desktop players, HP showed the OMEN 35L Gaming Desktop as a compact but upgrade-friendly system. It can come with either Intel Core Ultra 9 285K or AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D processors and graphics up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080.
The gaming section was completed by the HyperX OMEN OLED 34 monitor. It uses a 34-inch QD-OLED V-strip panel, WQHD 21:9 resolution, a 360Hz refresh rate, and a 0.03 ms response time.
| Gaming Product | Highlight | Main Specs |
|---|---|---|
| HyperX Omen 16 Valorant Limited Edition | Valorant-themed collaboration | AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D, up to RTX 5070 8GB, 24GB DDR5, 1TB PCIe Gen 4 |
| OMEN 35L Gaming Desktop | Compact desktop with upgrade focus | Intel Core Ultra 9 285K or AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, up to RTX 5080 |
| HyperX OMEN OLED 34 | High-speed gaming monitor | 34-inch QD-OLED, WQHD 21:9, 360Hz, 0.03 ms |
Business users are not left behind
Beyond consumer and gaming products, HP also gave attention to business customers. The ProBook 4 G2 Series is aimed at small and medium businesses, with durability and AI support at the center of its pitch.
The EliteBook 8 G2 Series is designed for knowledge workers and creators who need a balance between focused work and collaboration. HP says the EliteBook X G2 Series is meant for executives, and it stands out with a sub-1 kg design and AI features.
HP notes that the EliteBook X G2 Series previously received a CES 2026 Innovation Award. The business lineup closes with the EliteBook X Flip G2, a premium 2-in-1 that supports laptop, tent, tablet, and stand modes, plus an optional garaged pen.
With OmniBook for consumers, HyperX OMEN for gaming, and EliteBook for professionals, HP’s 2026 showcase was built around breadth rather than a single hero product. The company framed its strategy around performance, mobility, and collaboration across multiple device categories.
