The machines include a 14-inch touchscreen with 2.2k resolution, and offer 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal storage. The purchase includes web camera with support for Windows Hello face unlock.

Along with that HP has also included a lot of new AI features such as Spotlight and Auto Framing.

Microsoft in partnership with Qualcomm announced back in May,  over 20 new Capilot+ branded PCs which include HP EliteBook Ultra and OmniBook X. Currently only the Snapdragon X series powered PCs are labelled as Capilot+ PCs , as they aren’t any other chips that have required hardware to render capability of various on-device AI experiences.
