HP EliteBook X G2 Next Gen AI PC

With the spread of remote and hybrid work, professionals are increasingly required to handle growing workloads and utilize AI tools. However, existing laptops do not adequately support these demands due to limited battery life and performance, leading to reduced work efficiency and fatigue. Users need a next-generation laptop that is fast, seamless, and secure, allowing them to continue working safely from anywhere for extended periods.

It offers the flexibility to choose Intel, AMD, or Qualcomm processors on the same platform for the first time in its class, and maximizes portability with an ultra-lightweight clamshell/convertible design under 1kg. It also features a dedicated NPU with up to 85 TOPS performance to accelerate on-site AI workloads and applies hardware-based quantum-resistant security (HP Wolf Security) to protect even the firmware level in offline environments, providing AI performance and security differentiated from existing business laptops.

Actual purchases and deployments are mainly by corporate IT departments and public institutions, for executive and team leader-level leaders or data

This product is aimed at the entire global business environment and will be released simultaneously worldwide without being tied to specific countries or regulations. AI acceleration and security features can continue to evolve through software upgrades, and similar technologies may be extended to consumer premium laptop lines in the future. Industrially, it can be used by knowledge workers in various domains such as finance, consulting, and healthcare, broadening the market application scope.
