HP's 2025 Laptop Extravaganza: An Exploration of the New Roster
HP recently dropped a giant tidal wave of new laptops at its Amplify 2025. They are expanding their bases with purpose. From gamers fighting for the newest graphics, to business users seeking slim and intelligent machines, HP's 2025 roster has plenty to be explored. Now, let's dive in for a closer look at the major announcement and discover what's new.
Omen Series: Gaming Just Got Slimmer and More Powerful
Omen 16 Slim: Slimmed Down Powerhouse
For the gamer who can never afford to be left behind, HP is introducing the new HP Omen 16 Slim. The surprise? It's a whole lot thinner and lighter than its standard Omen 16 model, but doesn't sacrifice on gaming power. We're talking up to an Nvidia RTX 5070 graphics card paired with Intel Core Ultra 9 285H processors. HP ensures great cooling to keep noise-reduced even at maximum graphics use. The display features a high-end 16-inch WQXGA screen with an extremely smooth 240Hz refresh rate.
Omen Transcend 14: High-End and Refurbished
Omen Transcend 14 is also being renovated. It's keeping its thin frame and stunning OLED screen but updating the insides to Intel Arrow Lake-H chips and Nvidia RTX 50 series graphics (up to RTX 5070). The laptop is designed for players who want high-end looks and portability without compromising on performance for those gaming sessions while on the move.
Omen 17: Big Screen AMD Gaming
If a large screen is what you crave, the refreshed HP Omen 17 is back, now powered by AMD's Ryzen AI 300 series CPUs and GeForce RTX 5070 graphics. This is positioned as more of a desktop replacement, packing serious power and a big 17.3-inch display with high refresh rate options.
Victus 15: Gaming for Everyone
HP is also refreshing the Victus 15, with a target of offering an immense range of configurations across various price points. It's getting a ginormous range of CPUs from AMD (Ryzen AI 300, Hawk Point, Krackan Point) and Intel (Raptor Lake), and a similarly massive range of GPUs, some of the last generation models, as well as new RTX 50 series and RTX 40 series GPUs. It's the "choose your own adventure" gaming laptop.
OmniBook X Series: Versatility and Productivity Star
OmniBook X Flip 14 & 16: Convertibles Become Smarter
The OmniBook X Flip line gets a major overhaul, removing Qualcomm Snapdragon options and going for Intel Core Ultra (Lunar Lake) and AMD Ryzen AI 300 processors. The 2-in-1 convertibles will debut in 14 and 16 inches with stunning OLED displays (3K max resolution) and focusing on premium features. HP also will launch a non-AI model of the OmniBook X Flip 16, featuring the AMD Ryzen 5 220 processor, as a budget-friendly option.
OmniBook X 17.3: Productivity on a Large Screen
For additional screen real estate, the OmniBook X 17.3 is joining the party. The large-screen clamshell notebook will feature Intel Core Ultra V processors and GeForce RTX 4050 graphics as a choice. While it still has a 1080p IPS display, it's going to be a very powerful workhorse for content creation.
ProBook 4 & EliteBook 6: Business and AI Ready
ProBook 4 Series: Entry-Level AI for Business Users
HP's ProBook 4 series is back to stores with different configurations to meet business consumers who require remote work and collaboration features. The laptops will be available in 14- and 16-inch models, both of which will feature Intel Meteor Lake and AMD Ryzen 200 (Hawk Point Refresh) processors and bring entry-level AI features to the ProBook lineup.
EliteBook 6 G1: AI and Next-Gen AI for Enterprise
The EliteBook 6 G1 family is for professional use with the highest level of performance and security. HP is dividing these into "AI PCs" (Intel Core Ultra or AMD Ryzen 200 series) and "Next-gen AI PCs" (CoPilot+ Windows laptops based on AMD or Qualcomm Snapdragon). The EliteBook 6 G1 will come in 13.3, 14, and 16-inch variants with different display and configuration possibilities, with a view towards enterprise-class capabilities and performance.
Wrapping Up: HP's 2025 Vision
HP's 2025 laptop lineup is rightfully broad, with a clear intent to serve every kind of user. If you're a gamer, a creative pro, or a business user, HP seems to have a laptop designed just for you. We have no pricing and availability information on most of these models yet, but it's clear HP is set to make a massive difference in laptops this year.
