HP has pulled out all of the stops for CES 2026, and one of the standout AI solutions is the HP EliteBook X G2 Series, introduced at the show.
CES 2026 delivered a heavy dose of AI-powered computing, and HP led the charge. From the latest HyperX OMEN-branded gaming laptops to its professional lineup, HP has clearly gone ‘all in’ on AI. Designed for professionals who expect emerging technology to drive real productivity, the EliteBook X G2 portfolio takes the spotlight with future-ready AI performance and a mobile design that makes working with AI feel productive.
Senior Vice President and Division President of Commercial Systems and Displays Solutions at HP, Guayente Sanmartin, said, “HP’s Work Relationship Index shows expectations are rising faster than fulfillment, and workers need technology that lightens that load with HP devices built for AI-driven workflows. The EliteBook X G2 Series brings AI experiences that adapt to individual workstyles, security that protects by default, and ultra-light mobility without trade-offs so leaders stay effective from anywhere,” regarding the new suite of AI-driven computing solutions.
The EliteBook X G2 Series presented on the CES 2026 showfloor comes with four different computing solutions ready to take on the front lines of work with AI functionality in hand.
CES 2026: The EliteBook X G2 Series Unmasked
These new innovative Copilot+ PCs combine AI performance, all-day power, easy adaptability
and enterprise-grade security (with HP Wolf Security onboard), all in a sleek package that elevates the work experience wherever the worker may be. For the first time, HP lets the user pick their processor, with AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm options, all on the same platform.
Leading the innovations is the EliteBook X G2i & EliteBook X Flip G2i Notebook Next Gen AI PCs. With a screen-to-body ratio of 90% (with the clamshell option) and 88% (with flip), this computing solution adapts to the user no matter the setting. Featuring a 14-inch OLED panel, both options are lightweight, have anti-glare technology, and this choice in the EliteBook X line is native to Intel processors. With optionality, consumers can expect up to 50 NPU (Neural Processing Unit) TOPS (trillions operations per second) and up to 180 platform TOPS for AI help wherever and whenever available.
While the clamshell option for EliteBook X G2i is a more traditional approach, the EliteBook X Flip G2i adapts to your workflow with four versatile use modes and an optional HP Nested Pen. Consumers can reach beyond writing and sketching with onboard productivity functions like the ability to magnify small text by hovering. The EliteBook X G2i and the EliteBook X Flip G2i can even hit two hours of battery life on 30 minutes of charge. These new laptops will be available in February 2026.
- The HP EliteBook X G2a Next Gen AI PC – With up to 55 TOPS NPU, the HP EliteBook X G2a adapts in real time and boosts performance when docked, conserving power when mobile, and stays cool under pressure. This AMD Ryzen processor option totes an OLED anti-glare panel just like the rest of the portfolio.
- The HP EliteBook X G2q Next Gen AI PC – Denoted by the ‘q’ in the product’s name, this AI computing solution comes equipped with an up to Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite (an 18-core CPU), bringing the AI NPU up to 85 TOPS of processing power. The G2a and G2q options will arrive later than the G2i options sometime in the Spring 2026.
All of the EliteBook X G2 Series revealed at CES 2026 come equipped with AI functionality in mind, bringing CoPilot+ and NPU power in spades to provide AI solutions to casual and serious work. More information (pricing and availability) will be made available at a later date.
