Key notes
- HP will reportedly “revive” the old HP OmniBook devices.
- Now, it comes with AI, just like any other laptops released this year.
- No words on specs just yet, but it appears to be sporting a 14-inch display.
HP OmniBook laptops were a weird one. It was a classic brand back in the ’90s and early 2000s, but apparently, the Palo Alto tech giant is reportedly reviving the brand after killing it in 2002.
It comes with a catch: more support for artificial intelligence (AI) features, just like any other laptops released this year.
Folks over at WinFuture exclusively managed to get their hands on high-quality and detailed renders of the HP OmniBook 2024. The revival comes with a lot of tweaks in the design (duh), seemingly sporting a 14-inch display option.
No words on the inside just yet, but with a dedicated Copilot key on the keyboard and HP’s very own AI logo, there should be AI features natively supported by this laptop. It apparently cuts the number of ports available: only two USB Type-C, one is USB 4.0 compatible, a single USB-A, and a 3.5mm jack for headphones.
Rumors also suggest that the laptop will bear an ARM chip, but it’s best to take this with a grain of salt.
The hotly-anticipated AI Explorer, for example, has a minimum requirement of 16GB of RAM, Snapdragon X Elite, and 225GB of total storage, which isn’t a chicken feed so it’s safe to expect that this laptop will somewhat follow that threshold.
