At CES 2026, HP Inc. debuted a new vision for the modern workforce, positioning professional fulfillment as the next major frontier for business growth. With global data showing that only 20% of knowledge workers have a healthy relationship with work, HP’s latest lineup aims to bridge this “fulfillment deficit” by providing tools that make the future of work both technology-driven and human-centered.
Hardware That Moves with the Mission
Leading the charge in hardware innovation is the HP EliteBoard G1a, a CES 2026 Innovation Award Honoree. This groundbreaking device is the world’s first full AI PC built entirely into a keyboard, reimagining the desktop as a portable, lightweight solution for leaders who need AI performance wherever they go.
For those requiring extreme mobile power, HP introduced the HP EliteBook X G2 Series and the HP OmniBook Ultra 14. These devices represent a significant industry milestone, offering up to 85 TOPS NPU performance powered by Snapdragon® X2 Elite processors—allowing users to run multiple concurrent AI applications without compromise.
A Portfolio Built for the AI Era
The transformation extends across HP’s entire consumer and commercial landscape:
- The OmniBook Revolution: The full OmniBook portfolio now features Snapdragon® X2 processors and OLED displays. The new HP OmniBook 3 16 sets a new standard, delivering the world’s longest battery life in a 16-inch OLED consumer AI PC.
- AI-Powered Printing: In a first for the industry, HP integrated Microsoft Copilot directly into its Office Print devices. This enables document summarization, translation, and smart organization right at the printer, accelerating hybrid work workflows.
- Enterprise Resilience: HP’s Workforce Experience Platform (WXP) received a critical update with firmware-level recovery capabilities. This allows IT departments to fix critical device issues remotely, even when a system is unable to boot.
The New Face of Gaming
HP also announced a major brand shift by unifying OMEN and HyperX under a single master gaming brand: HyperX. To celebrate this merger, the company unveiled the HyperX OMEN MAX 16, the world’s most powerful gaming laptop. It features a unique, fully internal cooling system designed for “hyper performance,” alongside OMEN AI and a high-polling rate keyboard.
Sustainability and Community Impact
Beyond the hardware, HP is emphasizing transparency and social responsibility:
- HP Digital Passport: This new tool gives customers a central hub to track their device’s “origin story,” including sustainability data and support options.
- Future of Work Accelerator: HP is expanding its community reach by opening applications for its 2026 Accelerator program on January 12. For the first time, the program will be open to both for-profits and nonprofits, focusing on AI and skills development with a package of $100,000 in funding and $100,000 in hardware.
Through these diverse innovations, HP aims to prove that when organizations invest in the right technology, the likelihood of a healthy and fulfilled workforce can increase five-fold.
