From smarter AI powered PCs to more intuitive printers, the focus is clear: using AI to remove friction, enhance creativity, and enable people to thrive wherever they work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWorkplace technology shouldn\u2019t just keep up with trends; it should anticipate needs, adapt seamlessly, and empower employees in ways that are genuinely human-centric,\u201d Lores said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A New Generation of AI PCs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>HP\u2019s latest AI PC lineup represents a leap forward in personal computing. With models like the EliteBook 8 Series, EliteDesk 8 Series, and OmniBook X Series, HP is embedding AI into the core of the computing experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The increasing ubiquity of AI technology means its use must go beyond simply being a gimmick, but as a powerful engine for smarter workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Features like dedicated NPUs (neural processing units), advanced power efficiency, and even quantum-resilient security reflect an intentional, measured use of this new technology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, software like HP AI Companion (a device-based research assistant) and HP Go for global connectivity, show that the company is thinking not just about raw performance, but the real-world needs of modern professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elevating Performance with HP Z Workstations &amp; Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most notable evolutions came with the unveiling of HP Z as a distinct product line, a high-performance range of secure workstation computers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long known for its performance pedigree, HP Z is now reimagined to offer a more cohesive and tailored experience for engineers, creatives, and data scientists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new ZBook Ultra 14 G1a and Z2 Mini G1a laptops are designed with performance-hungry professionals in mind, delivering optimised workflows for demanding software like SOLIDWORKS and Autodesk Revit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But beyond hardware, HP is also investing in the software layer with tools like the HP Data Science Software Stack Manager, AI Studio, and GenAI Lab, providing users with the frameworks they need to innovate responsibly and efficiently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rethinking Print in the AI Era<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>HP is also bringing AI innovation to an often-overlooked part of the workflow: printing. With new capabilities like automatic summarisation and email drafting from scanned documents, as well as AI-powered redaction for sensitive data, the humble office printer is becoming a smarter, more secure part of the digital ecosystem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New launches like the LaserJet Enterprise 8000 Series and Latex R530 Printer demonstrate how even legacy categories can be transformed through the lens of AI and futureproof security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Innovation to Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The takeaway from Amplify 2025 is not just that HP is building more powerful devices. Rather it\u2019s rethinking what those devices mean in the context of work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a world where burnout, complexity, and disconnection are common themes, HP is positioning AI not as a buzzword, but as a tool for real human impact and a consistent growth in processing power.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By focusing on meaningful innovation, HP is helping to define what the future of work can \u2013 and should \u2013 look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hp.com\/za-en\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to learn more about these new AI-powered HP products.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI-powered devices are transforming the way we work\u2014elevating productivity, enhancing performance, and reshaping the human experience in the workplace by Yesh Surjoodeen, Managing Director, Southern and Central Africa, HP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":821008,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10459],"tags":[8556,1478],"class_list":["post-821007","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-news","tag-ai","tag-hp"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821007","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/57"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=821007"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821007\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":821009,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821007\/revisions\/821009"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/821008"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=821007"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=821007"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=821007"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
