HP is announcing an updated lineup of notebooks at CES that includes new EliteBooks, a new Ryzen AI-powered ZBook workstation, and a fresh 16-inch Omen Max gaming laptop that can spin its fan in reverse to help clear out dust from its vents.

HP starts the year strong by giving its EliteBook series an AI boost alongside the new OmniStudio X, which could dominate the all-in-one space.

HP is sprucing up its Omen gaming brand with new iterations of its flagship Omen 16 laptop—featuring fresh silicon from AMD, Intel, and Nvidia—plus an appealing compact tower, the Omen 16L.

Each time CES rolls around, it's fair to say that big laptop makers like HP don't exactly hold back – this is the perfect opportunity to throw a whole heap of laptops out into the world. It can also be a little challenging to sift through for devices that haven't actually been mentioned before, which is exactly what I've been doing.

The HP OMEN 16 can come in a range of processors, including AMD Ryzen AI options like the Ryzen AI 9 365, Ryzen AI 7 350, and Ryzen AI 5 340. These processors have built-in support for AI tasks with 50 TOPS (trillions of operations per second). For more demanding work, there's the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX, which has more cores.

The final price including shipping (but before taxes) should be $1,209.99

HP is updating its Omen gaming lineup with two 16-inch laptops, a compact 16L desktop, and a lower-end Victus that now comes in three colors, including pink.

HP just announced the latest Omen Max 16 gaming laptop, a next-generation machine with the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 and AMD Ryzen AI 9 processors, up to 64GB RAM, and RTX 50-Series graphics cards. But I'm more interested in the cooling system.
