LAS VEGAS, March 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) today announced the industry’s largest portfolio of AI PCs1 leveraging the power of AI to enhance productivity, creativity, and user experiences in hybrid work settings.

In an ever-changing hybrid work landscape, workers are still struggling with disconnection and digital fatigue. HP’s 2023 Work Relationship Index reveals that only 27% of knowledge workers have a healthy relationship with work, and 83% believe it’s time to redefine our relationships with work. Most employees believe AI will open new opportunities to enjoy work and make their jobs easier,6 but they need the right AI tools and technology to succeed.

“At HP, our mission is to empower companies to capitalize on the power of AI, sparking ambitious and meaningful progress in every organization,” said Alex Cho, President of Personal Systems, HP Inc. “We are proud to represent the industry’s broadest portfolio of AI PCs. By harnessing AI as a personal tool, we are creating more personalized and meaningful work experiences, revolutionizing the way we interact with technology and each other in the workplace.”

Focus on the work that matters with AI PCs

For today’s leaders, knowledge workers, and creators, HP introduced the newest generation of AI HP Elite and Pro PCs, featuring Copilot in Windows7 and Windows 11 Pro8, and Z by HP mobile workstations, delivering high-performance computing solutions designed to power the most demanding workflows.

HP introduces the industry’s largest portfolio of AI PCs1

The latest HP Elite and Pro PC solutions are equipped with AI capabilities powered by Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 and 7 processors910 or next-generation AMD Ryzen™ PRO processors1011 with dedicated NPUs11 for tackling AI tasks with more personalized performance. HP Smart Sense11 is designed to automatically anticipate and adjust to your PC usage behavior, ensuring the best balance of performance and power. In addition, Poly Studio audio and Dynamic Voice Leveling14, AI Noise Reduction12, and automatic framing13 offer improved, natural on-camera interaction and collaboration for a seamless user experience.

HP now has the largest portfolio of Intel® and AMD-based AI PCs14, demonstrating a commitment to innovation and performance. The lineup launched today includes:

Work protected with HP security solutions

Building upon our reputation as the world’s most secure and manageable PCs29, today, HP introduced the world’s first business PCs to protect firmware against quantum computer hacks2 featuring HP’s upgraded Endpoint Security Controller (ESC) chip30, which helps ensure the manageability and protection of sensitive data. Isolated from the processor and OS, the ESC provides a hardware platform that reduces the risk of data breaches and improves productivity by preventing downtime.

The HP Elite and ProBook notebooks and Z by HP workstations are equipped with HP Wolf Security for Business31 to protect end users no matter where and how they work. HP also launched HP Cloud Endpoint Manager SaaS32, which is purpose-built for mission-critical devices to help IT secure endpoints from threats with automated device monitoring and remediation.

Accelerate data science capabilities with the HP AI Creation Center, including Z by HP AI Studio

HP is accelerating the AI era with customized data science solutions. HP’s AI Creation Center combines the world’s most advanced workstation for AI with robust solutions like the Z by HP AI Studio to deliver the world’s most comprehensive workstation solution for AI development.3 Z by HP workstation solutions, designed in close collaboration with NVIDIA®, will help scale compute and AI resources from an on-premise infrastructure to the cloud simplifying how companies build and customize private AI models through a platform that connects data teams, tools, and compute.

By integrating NVIDIA®‘s data and pre-trained models into HP’s’ AI Studio, customers can now easily access workflows anywhere. NVIDIA® GPUs accelerate training, increasing the speed to value. This seamless integration allows users to locate and utilize curated models and data within a centralized interface, incorporating the power of NVIDIA® NGC. HP’s AI Studio, enhanced by NVIDIA® technology, is planned to be the first AI development platform to incorporate NVIDIA® NGC from a workstation OEM.

For data scientists and AI creators, the ability to seamlessly scale projects from an AI workstation to the cloud is critical. By building AI models in a hybrid compute environment from one, centralized location from the start, they can more easily shift from product development to production for the most substantial data science and AI tasks. HP and NVIDIA® share a joint vision to enable seamless scaling from workstations to the NVIDIA® DGX Cloud, providing flexibility and power in their computing capabilities.

Transform meeting spaces with Poly Studio solutions for more meaningful connections

Meeting equity is important for flexible work environments. HP is revolutionizing the way people collaborate in hybrid environments with the industry’s broadest portfolio of certified conferencing room solutions and headsets4 to ensure everyone is seen and heard. With Poly DirectorAI smart camera technology, the latest Poly Studio devices keep the focus where it matters, enabling all participants to put their best face forward:

Poly Studio E360


Poly Studio E60

Poly Studio V52

The latest Poly Lens software offers enhanced video deployment and serviceability, enabling faster onboarding and configuration without heavy technical installation needs. These improvements are critical when organizations retrofit and reconfigure workspaces, resulting in a consistent user experience, saving time and resources. New Microsoft O365 Calendar integration33 delivers a comprehensive view of room occupancy and utilization across multiple platforms so that IT can make better room allocation plans based on usage trends. Poly Lens is laying the foundation of AI-powered deployment, management, monitoring, and insights of video-powered rooms.

Enhance your productivity with HP monitors and peripherals

HP also introduced new monitors and peripherals that provide a seamless and comfortable user experience that boosts productivity from wherever you get work done.
