HP Announces 80+ New Devices at Amplify Conference

At its annual Amplify Conference, HP Inc today announced new products and services designed to shape the future of work, empowering people and businesses to create and manage their own way of working. The company unveiled more than 80 PCs, AI-powered print tools for SMBs, and Workforce Experience Platform enhancements all built to drive company growth and professional fulfillment.  

“HP is translating AI into meaningful experiences that drive growth and fulfilment,” said Neil Sawyer, HP Managing Director North West Europe. “We are shaping the future of work with game-changing AI innovations that seamlessly adapt to how people want to work.” 

Leading the Future of Work 

HP’s 2024 Work Relationship Index reports that only 28 percent of workers have a healthy relationship with work. Companies and people are seeking better work experiences and new advancements in technology – from seamless device connectivity to AI applications – that can help people work faster, think more creatively, and connect on a deeper level.  

With customers looking to refresh their devices to Windows 11, HP is supercharging its PCs to take advantage of the latest technologies available with select models qualifying as Copilot+ PCs, so work doesn’t feel like work:  

·       The HP EliteBook 8 Series is masterfully redesigned with mainstream enterprise workers in mind, delivering AI-powered productivity and seamless collaboration in a repairable and upgradeable package. With NPU options up to 50 TOPS, experience up to 224% better power efficiency and up to 43 times faster AI image generation for incredible performance gains versus previous non-NPU models.

·       The HP EliteDesk 8 Series brings AI powerfully and securely to the company’s desktop portfolio. These devices are ideal for corporate project managers and workers who need a reliable PC that can manage even the most demanding projects for smarter workflows and productivity. This is the world’s first business desktop PC portfolio to protect against quantum computer hacks, combining high performance with lower power consumption to reduce costs.  

·       The HP EliteStudio 8 AiO G1i is the perfect tool for an on-the-go employee constantly moving around the office. As the world’s first commercial PC with integrated KVM ability through HP Device Switch, an employee can use the all-in-one for work or quickly plug their laptop into the AIO with a single cable to power the notebook and access all the available peripherals.  

·       The OmniBook X Series is designed for creators who need a PC that adapts to their workflow, whether it be a svelte 14-inch flip device to ideate and draw, or a powerhouse clamshell 17.3-inch PC to power through their larger-than-life creations. The OmniBook 7 Series is built for power users on their PC for all-day productivity for school or work. And the OmniBook 5 Series is ideal for families and students with a versatile design that’s built for streaming, light gaming, and personal productivity. Devices across the consumer notebook portfolio are offered in a variety of sizes with powerful Intel Ultra or AMD Ryzen™ processors. 

  

HP is also delivering powerful new AI software experiences to complement this next generation of AI PCs.  Qualifying consumer and commercial devices from HP are equipped with exclusive software designed to transform how people work in the office, at home, and everywhere in between:  

·       HP AI Companion is an advanced on-device AI research assistant that delivers instant answers and secured file analysis, even without an internet connection. New features planned for this Spring include intuitive voice and text commands and built-in keylogger protections to enhance productivity while keeping data secure on the device.

With automatic network switching regardless of carrier, advanced fleet management, and effortless setup, road warriors can connect and be productive wherever work takes them. The HP Go service option will first be available on the HP EliteBook 6 G1q powered by Snapdragon X Series, making it the world’s first AI PC with zero-touch multi-carrier 5G deployment.

HP is changing the way customers print and manage documents, making it easier and more efficient with new features and technology: 

·       Two new features to its collection of AI-powered tools that help SMBs simplify and enhance the print experience. The first feature streamlines the process of sharing scanned documents by using AI to summarise them and draft an email with the document attached, allowing for easy sharing via email or chat. The second feature offers automatic and guided redaction to safeguard sensitive information, ensuring that private data remains secure on HP devices without requiring a cloud connection. These innovations aim to reduce the complexity and enhance the security of document handling for small businesses.  

·       The HP LaserJet Enterprise 8000 Series Printers are the world’s first printers that protect against quantum computer attacks. They provide enhanced hardware-level security for highly regulated organisations that rely on secure printing, ensuring protection against future quantum computer attacks while seamlessly integrating with Zero Trust architectures.

Its digital operation simplifies workflows and maximises space, boosting efficiency.

Shaping the Future in Play 

  

Technology can also offer people a smooth transition from work into play. According to Mohamed Ala Saayed, Senior Program Director & Fellow, Frost & Sullivan, “About 60% of gaming PCs owners likely use their systems for work-related activities in addition to gaming.”

  

New gaming hardware across OMEN and HyperX delivers meaningful performance and personalisation for the ultimate in gameplay:

HyperX-tuned acoustics ensure crystal-clear audio and the durable yet flexible design, boom and boomless mic options, and customisable earcup plates let gamers play longer, sound better, and do it in style.

HP OMEN 34c 165 Hz curved monitor review

The HP OMEN 34c 165 Hz curved monitor is ideal for both gamers and general PC users with its 21:9 ratio WQHD panel it is just wide enough for both users but this is down to user preference and remember some that use such screens can be gamers who this is aimed at.

At home or in the office this is perfect for use I see it all the time on my travels now with offices having more curved screens than ever and some with up to 4/5 of them and I see why this is the case.

The build quality is top notch here and it is a heavy piece once constructed however the screen is not that heavy but the base pad is which takes two minutes it will not budge where you place it.

You can move this up or down and in and out and stays in place where it best suits you there is not much movement overall but plenty for those who want it simple.

There is control keys on the rear right hand side which can be sometimes annoying to find once you get use to it it gets better, the is also a power key here too pretty close to the navi key.

There is two speakers one each side though I felt these could be a bit louder however you can pop in headphones and this changes that and for me the better option here.

There is a myriad of settings for you to navigate through here and again this is something everyone has their own input on so I just demoed the standard affair here and then the different colour palettes available and there is huge differences between them and again you can customize to your own taste.

The picture quality is excellent we love it and for any budding gamer out there they will be please too if you are coming from your laptop or traditional TV

It is on the pricey side for a monitor but hard core gamers would dispute this because it offers more than what your cheap monitor has to offer..
