Sydney, Australia October 29, 2024 — Today HP Australia has launched its first next-gen AI PC 2-in-1 laptop. The HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 Next Gen AI PC, powered by AI accelerating Intel® Core™ Ultra processors, offers uncompromising style, performance, and flexibility for those seeking the ultimate AI experience.
The HP Omnibook Ultra Flip delivers lightning-fast responsiveness with a dedicated NPU capable of up to 48 TOPS. It is also one of HP's most secure consumer devices, fortified with industry-leading HP Wolf Security for peace of mind and efficiency. Users can run AI locally on their PC for maximum performance, efficiency and privacy.
"Increasingly, we are demanding personalised experiences, and this new laptop delivers by seamlessly adapting to our diverse environments—whether we're logging on from home or a café." said Rachael Williams, HP Head of Personal Systems ANZ, "It's not just about automating tasks; it's about understanding and catering to our unique needs, enhancing creativity and productivity in ways we never thought possible."
Reinventing the era of AI PCs
We have moved from the confines of the office to other workplaces, and AI has empowered this change by reshaping creativity and productivity. HP's second annual report of the Work Relationship Index showcases that at least 66% of Australian knowledge workers feel that AI makes their jobs easier, and nearly two-thirds (65%) are customising their use of AI to be more productive.
Created for tech-savvy freelancers and on-the-go creators, the HP Omnibook Ultra Flip features the best AI that the technology sector has to offer and personalised experiences through AI:
- Designed to inspire: Create, edit, and sketch on an ultra-thin form factor that easily switches between laptop, tablet, and tent modes. A stunning 3K OLED display offers an immersive visual experience to draw or review creative designs.[1] Personalise content generation on the HP's first next-gen AI convertible PC with inking and a haptic touchpad.[2] Collaborate with others clearly and crisply with the device's 9 MP AI camera and Poly Audio.
