HP Gears Up for CES 2026 with EliteBook X G2 Series
Company HP is preparing to announce its EliteBook X G2 laptop series at CES 2026, featuring all three major market platforms. The lineup includes three models: EliteBook X G2a, EliteBook X G2i, and EliteBook X G2q. As expected, they will be powered by processors from AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm, respectively.

Although details remain scarce, it is anticipated that the laptops will feature Ryzen AI 400, Core Ultra 300, and Snapdragon X2 processors. The latter is expected to be released later than the others, as laptops with new Qualcomm chips are anticipated only in the second quarter of the current year. Other details have yet to be disclosed, but features like a slim metallic chassis, large touchpad, and silver color can be expected.
