OmniBook Ultra 16 and OmniBook X 14: HP is Ready to Join the NVIDIA RTX Spark Train

HP is ready to embrace the NVIDIA RTX Spark platform, a solution that brings the entire AI stack of NVIDIA and RTX technologies to portable systems aimed at creators, developers, and gamers.

By the end of the year, HP plans to introduce RTX Spark on the OmniBook Ultra 16 and OmniBook X 14 notebooks, models that the company describes as among the thinnest in their category while maintaining advanced features for local AI workload execution. The company has also announced the arrival of a compact desktop based on the same platform.

On the enterprise front, HP intends to extend Windows support for its advanced computing solutions based on the NVIDIA GB300 Superchip. The HP ZGX Fury GB300 systems, available in desk and rack configurations, are designed to enable organizations to develop, execute, and integrate always-on AI agents within existing Windows applications and processes.

Among the innovations is the HP ZGX Nano, a configuration tailored for regulated or high-sensitivity environments. This system adopts an architecture that physically limits wireless access and external interfaces, thereby reducing the attack surface. The goal is to facilitate local processing of AI models in classified or remote contexts, following Zero Trust security principles.

The company also describes a new category of developer PCs designed for the age of AI agents. These systems are not just running AI-based applications, but integrate tools and environments already set up for their development. The approach involves compact, powerful hardware paired with command-line workflows, OpenClaw-based development kits, and support for agent frameworks like Hermes, aiming to reduce the time needed to go from idea to a working application.

In the desktop segment, HP is also launching the HP OmniDesk Mini Desktop PC, described by the company as the first Mini AI PC equipped with Thunderbolt Share technology. Based on Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, the system offers integrated AI functionalities and allows control of two PCs through a single keyboard and mouse, while also facilitating rapid file transfers. The setup includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports and support for up to four 4K monitors.

HP has also strengthened its collaboration with AMD, introducing Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series processors in the compact HP Z2 Mini G1a workstation. This system integrates the validated AMD Ryzen AI Halo Developer software stack, which includes the Ryzen AI Developer Center, ROCm, pre-installed AI frameworks, models, and onboarding tools. The goal is to provide a ready-to-use platform for developers looking to run advanced AI workloads without manually configuring the entire software environment.

Regarding availability, the OmniBook Ultra 16 and OmniBook X 14 notebooks based on RTX Spark are expected to arrive by the end of 2026, while the OmniDesk Mini Desktop PC with Intel Core Ultra processors is slated for August of the same year. HP will announce final prices and specifications closer to the commercial launch.
