The chassis is 17.9 mm thick and weighs starting at 1.9 kg, featuring a cooling system rated for 100 W.
HP integrated Perplexity Computer software to enable local AI model processing for models up to 300 billion parameters. The system supports professional software like Autodesk Revit 2027 and 3ds Max. Connectivity includes Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, Wi-Fi 7, and an optional 5G modem, with storage via a single M.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 slot supporting up to 8 TB.
The laptop is powered by a 96 Wh user-replaceable battery. While pricing remains undisclosed, the device is scheduled for market release in October. Performance testing of the final retail units is expected following the official launch.
