At CES 2026, HP announced a suite of products to clarify what it calls its “One HP” vision: a tightly integrated ecosystem spanning AI-powered PCs, gaming hardware, peripherals, and hybrid work software.
The strategy ties together consumer, enterprise, and gaming experiences around shared silicon, services, and design priorities, as HP positions personal fulfillment and productivity as the next phase of PC evolution.
As the industry shifts and continues to democratize access to advanced processing features through the use of AI services, lines between work, play, and creation continue to blur, as the net widens for the addressable market in each sector, HP wants to own that convergence end-to-end.
At the center of this CES push is its expanding portfolio of AI PCs, including systems delivering up to 85 TOPS of NPU performance, a threshold the company says enables multiple AI workloads to run locally and concurrently. While much of that performance is aimed at productivity and enterprise use, the same silicon roadmap underpins HP’s gaming ambitions, including the recently announced HyperX OMEN MAX 16 gaming laptop and future AI-assisted gameplay, streaming, and content creation workflows.
HP’s focus on local AI execution reflects a broader industry shift away from cloud-only approaches. For gamers and creators, this opens the door to lower-latency AI features, such as potential for things like real-time capture enhancement, NPC behavior experimentation, procedural content tools, and intelligent performance tuning without relying on persistent internet connections.
HP expanded its lineup of ergonomic and sustainable peripherals designed for flexible hybrid setups, many of which naturally extend into gaming and creator environments. New accessories include the Tilt Ergonomic Mouse 720M, HP Ultra-Fast Scroll Wireless Mouse 780M, and the Multi-Device Dual-Mode Mouse and Keyboard Combo 580C, all built with recycled materials and dual wireless connectivity for fast switching between devices.
Travel-ready gear such as the HP 65W GaN Wall Charger, Portable USB-C 4K HDMI Hub, and Protective Series laptop sleeves reinforces HP’s view that users no longer operate from a single desk. For PC gamers and streamers, that portability increasingly matters as laptops replace desktops and setups move between home, office, and events.
HP also highlighted the HP EliteBoard G1a as a tangible example of how its One HP strategy translates into new form factors. By embedding a Copilot+ AI PC directly into a full-size keyboard powered by AMD Ryzen AI processors, the G1a emphasizes local AI performance, desk minimalism, and enterprise-grade security.
The unification of OMEN and HyperX under a single HyperX master gaming brand further underscores this ecosystem-first approach. Rather than treating gaming as a silo, HP is folding it into the same AI, sustainability, and experience-driven framework guiding its broader PC roadmap.
HP’s CES 2026 announcements highlight a bet on convergence rather than niche specialization. As PC demand stabilizes and upgrade cycles lengthen, vendors are increasingly competing on experience, integration, and flexibility rather than raw specs alone.
