CES 2026: HP Refreshes OmniBook Lineup, Unifies Gaming Under HyperX

 HP came to CES 2026 with a packed lineup of new laptops, desktops, and Chromebooks, alongside a major shake-up of its gaming strategy. The company announced refreshed OmniBook laptops, new all-in-one desktops, updated Chromebooks, and an expanded EliteBook business portfolio.

One of the biggest announcements is HP’s decision to bring all of its gaming products under one master brand — HyperX. The move is designed to simplify HP’s gaming ecosystem and create a more consistent experience across gaming PCs and accessories.

 


HP also revealed that all new consumer PCs will ship with HP Omni+, a cross-platform password manager, and HP TV+, a built-in hub that offers free streaming content.

HP OmniBook Ultra 14: Flagship Laptop Goes AI-First

The HP OmniBook Ultra 14 is HP’s new flagship consumer laptop and leans heavily into AI. Buyers will be able to choose between Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite or next-gen Intel Core Ultra processors.

It features a 14-inch OLED display with up to 3K resolution, making it ideal for both work and content consumption. HP says the laptop is built to handle on-device and cloud-based AI workloads and even includes posture-detection features to help users maintain better ergonomics during long sessions.

HP OmniStudio X 27: A Powerful All-in-One Desktop

The OmniStudio X 27 is HP’s latest all-in-one PC, built around a 27-inch Neo:LED display with 100 percent colour coverage. Under the hood, it packs a next-generation Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, with optional NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 graphics for users who need extra GPU power.

One standout feature is Thunderbolt Share, which lets users directly connect a laptop to the AIO for fast file transfers and shared peripherals. HP has also added a tilting camera, making it easier to share documents or desk views during video calls.
