    HP launches 14-inch laptop with 64GB RAM, cellular, 120Hz OLED display worldwide

    Key Takeaway

    – HP launched the EliteBook X G2a with Ryzen AI 400 series CPUs, starting at $3,105 (64-bit Windows 11 Pro included) and configurable up to high-end specs, including 64 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD.
    – The same model is available in UK, Eurozone, and US with analogous configurations and prices, staggered by region; notable top-spec options include Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470, 64 GB RAM, 1 TB PCIe Gen 5 storage, and an OLED 1200p display.
    – The EliteBook X G2a offers add-ons such as a haptic trackpad, NFC, and optional 5G connectivity, with regional variations in display options (OLED in some markets) and a notable price disparity compared to the older X G1a.

    HP has quietly started selling one of its latest 14-inch laptops powered by AMD Ryzen AI 400 processors. Announced during CES 2026 in January, the EliteBook X G2a was joined by the Snapdragon X2-based EliteBook X G2q, too. Incidentally, the latter has now gone on sale globally as well, full details of which we have covered separately.

    Pricing and availability

    By default, the Elitebook X G2a starts at $3,105 with the Ryzen AI 5 435, 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of PCIe Gen 4 storage. This pricing includes a Windows 11 Pro licence though, which can be swapped with FreeDOS for a $250 saving. Nonetheless, the EliteBook X G2a is significantly more expensive than the EliteBook X G1a that we reviewed in early 2025 (curr. $1,199 on Amazon).

    Regional pricing

    By contrast, the same configuration costs £1,535 in the UK. Configurations range up to £3,323 with a Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470, 64 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD and a 1800p (2.8K) Tandem OLED display featuring a 120 Hz refresh rate. Meanwhile, HP lists the EliteBook X G2a in the Eurozone with the same processor for €4,119 but 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD and a 1200p IPS display.

    US options

    The company offers similar configurations in the US, too. At the time of writing, the EliteBook X G2a can be purchased there with the Ryzen AI 9 PRO HX 470, 64 GB of RAM, 1 TB of PCIe Gen 5 storage and the same OLED display as in the UK. A haptic trackpad, NFC and 5G cellular connectivity can be added too, but for a total price of $6,975 at the time of writing. Please see HP’s website for more details.

  • HP launches 16-inch laptop worldwide with 32GB RAM and 1100-nit OLED display

    HP launches 16-inch laptop worldwide with 32GB RAM and 1100-nit OLED display

    Key Takeaway

    – The new OmniBook X Flip 16 uses Panther Lake-based CPUs (Intel Core Ultra 5/7/9 or AMD Ryzen AI variants) with 16–32 GB RAM options and PCIe Gen 4/5 SSDs depending on platform.
    – All models include a 70 Wh battery, Wi‑Fi 7, and optional up to a 1800p OLED display (120 Hz, 100% DCI-P3, 500 nits SDR/1100 nits HDR).
    – Price range starts at $1,499 (US) up to $2,709 (Intel top config); European pricing varies (UK €1,299–€2,299; Eurozone €1,798–€2,099 depending on config).

    OmniBook X Flip 16: A Quick Intro

    Almost five months have passed since HP presented a successor to the OmniBook X Flip 16 we reviewed in July 2025 (curr. $749 on Amazon). To recap, that model leveraged Intel’s Panther Lake platform. By contrast, this year’s successor moves the OmniBook X Flip 16 range onto newer Panther Lake-based alternatives. The description keeps it sharp, yet the pace of updates remains brisk, and readers must note pricing as it shifts with configurations and regional availability.

    Processors and RAM Options

    Specifically, the new 16-inch convertible can be configured with the Core Ultra 5 325, Core Ultra 7 355 and the Core Ultra 9 386H, which are joined by 16 GB, 24 GB or 32 GB of RAM. The same is true for new AMD variants, which combine these RAM configurations with the Ryzen AI 5 430, Ryzen AI 5 435, Ryzen AI 7 445, Ryzen AI 7 450 or the Ryzen AI 9 465. Different markets may see nuanced availability, but core choices spotlight a balance between power and memory capacity that enthusiasts will weigh against price points.

    Finishes and Storage

    For some reason, HP reserves Eclipse Grey and Meteor Silver finishes for its Intel and AMD variants, respectively. All versions can be purchased in an Atmospheric Blue finish, though. Also, while the OmniBook X Flip 16 can be optioned with 512 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB of storage, HP includes PCIe Gen 4 SSDs in AMD models and faster PCIe Gen 5 alternatives in Intel models. The mix of finishes and storage tiers is presented with a pragmatic approach, yet the choices might feel uneven across markets and lineups.

    Battery, Display, and Connectivity

    Meanwhile, all versions ship with a 70 Wh battery and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. Moreover, HP offers up to a 1800p (2.8K) OLED display with AMD or Intel processors. For reference, this display delivers a 120 Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 colour space coverage and 500 nits SDR/1,100 nits HDR brightness. The combination aims to satisfy both workhorse usability and media-erudite viewing preferences, though real-world brightness can vary with content and thermal limits.

    Pricing Across Regions

    Pricing starts at $1,499 in the US but can rise to $2,579 for AMD models and to $2,709 for their Intel counterparts. Meanwhile, the OmniBook X Flip 16 has reached the UK for £1,299 with a Core Ultra 7 355, 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. The same SKU sells for €1,699 in the Eurozone too, where pricing stretches to €2,299 for the same top configuration sold in the US. Currently, AMD models start at €1,798 in the Eurozone and rise to €2,099 with a Ryzen AI 9 465, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD and a 1800p display.
