- HP announced OmniBook Ultra 16 and OmniBook X 14 laptops, both built on NVIDIA's RTX Spark platform, with an OmniDesk desktop on the same platform still in the pipeline without detailed specs.
- OmniBook Ultra 16 supports up to 128GB of unified memory and delivers up to 1 PFLOP of FP4 AI performance, positioning it for local AI workloads, content creation, and development using NVIDIA's RTX and AI software stack.
- OmniBook Ultra 16 features a 16-inch 3K OLED display with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certification, paired with a 99Wh battery rated for up to 17 hours of life.
- HP redesigned cooling for the Ultra 16 around a tower hinge and rear trunk structure, with larger heat pipes and two thin fans to handle the RTX Spark thermals.
- OmniBook X 14 ships in a thinner, lighter chassis on the same RTX Spark platform with an OLED DisplayHDR True Black 1000 panel and a 140W USB-C GaN power adapter.
- HP rates the X 14 for up to 15 hours of battery life, with both models reaching roughly 50% charge in about 30 minutes via fast charging.
- Both laptops launch this fall; the Ultra 16 is sold through HP and Best Buy, the X 14 through HP and other retailers, with pricing announced closer to availability.
Why it matters: The 128GB unified memory ceiling on the Ultra 16 puts workstation-grade AI capacity into a laptop form factor, giving developers room to run larger models locally rather than relying on cloud APIs. The X 14's incomplete spec sheet and the missing pricing across both models signal HP is still finalizing the RTX Spark rollout.
