HP has unveiled its latest AI-powered PCs, including the Copilot Plus-enabled OmniStudio X all-in-one desktops and the Z2 Mini G1a mini PC. Unlike Qualcomm's AI-enhanced offerings teased earlier, HP's devices are built with AMD's Ryzen AI Max chips and Intel's Core Ultra processors, aiming to redefine user experience with advanced artificial intelligence capabilities.
Advanced Features in the OmniStudio X Series
According to The Verge, HP's OmniStudio X all-in-one desktops come in 31.5-inch and 27-inch models, offering robust configurations tailored to meet diverse user needs. The larger model boasts a 4K IPS panel with HDR 600 support and up to 550 nits of brightness, ideal for professionals seeking vibrant visuals. However, users preferring touchscreen functionality must opt for the 27-inch variant, which offers a 1080p display with up to 300 nits of brightness. Additional options include non-touch 1080p and 4K IPS displays.
These desktops integrate Microsoft's Copilot Plus features, enabled by Intel's Core Ultra 7 258V processors, featuring a 47 TOPS NPU. Both models have built-in speakers, microphones, a five-megapixel IR camera, and extensive port options, including USB-C 20Gbps and HDMI support. The OmniStudio X series also supports Wi-Fi 7, enhancing connectivity.
Z2 Mini G1a: A Compact Powerhouse
HP's Z2 Mini G1a is positioned as the "world's most powerful mini workstation," offering impressive specifications in a compact design. Powered by AMD's Ryzen AI Max Plus Pro chips, the mini PC supports up to 16 CPU cores, 8TB of SSD storage, and 128GB of unified memory. It also allows up to 96GB of RAM to be allocated to the GPU, catering to AI tasks and high-performance computing. Users can choose from integrated AMD Radeon graphics options, with support for up to four 4K monitors.
Designed to handle AI-centric features such as Recall and Click to Do in Windows 11, the Z2 Mini G1a is equipped with a wide array of ports, including USB-C Thunderbolt 4 and mini DisplayPort 2.1. Its compact size makes it suitable for both desktop and rack setups, with the ability to house up to five units in a 4U rack. Operating system options include Windows 11 Home or Pro and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
