The most powerful way to work, today: HP laptops powered by Snapdragon® X Series processors with Windows 11
HP laptops powered by Snapdragon® X Series processors with Windows 11 provide the performance that moves the business forward. Download your copy of the brochure, "The most powerful way to work, today," to explore leading trends impacting expectations for business PCs, how HP laptops powered by Snapdragon X Series processors address them, unique benefits, and options for every budget.
How do HP laptops with Snapdragon X Series help mobile teams stay productive?
HP laptops powered by Snapdragon X Series processors are designed for today’s mobile-first workday, where people move between home, office, and travel without always being plugged in.
Key productivity benefits include:
- Consistent performance on battery: These devices deliver up to 90% faster single-core performance than competitive processors, even when unplugged. That means less throttling and fewer slowdowns during video calls, large file work, or heavy multitasking.
- Multi-day battery life: Thanks to Snapdragon’s efficient architecture, users can get up to 22 hours of battery life, so the workday doesn’t have to pause for charging breaks.
- Smoother app experience: 99% of the top 200 enterprise apps already run fast and smoothly on Snapdragon, with most running natively. For the small number that aren’t native yet, Microsoft’s emulation engine keeps them running without noticeable lag.
For IT, this translates into fewer performance-related tickets and a more predictable experience across the fleet. For employees, it means they can open, create, collaborate, and join AI-enhanced meetings from anywhere without worrying about their device holding them back.
What AI capabilities do these PCs offer, and why does the NPU matter?
HP laptops powered by Snapdragon X Series processors are built to support everyday AI use without adding complexity or cost.
Here’s what stands out:
- Dedicated on-device AI engine: Each device includes a 45 TOPS NPU (neural processing unit) designed specifically for AI workloads. This delivers up to 20% faster inferencing and up to 20% greater NPU performance than comparable Intel solutions.
- Efficiency and cost control: These laptops are up to 311% more power efficient for AI tasks, helping extend battery life and reduce the need to offload workloads to the cloud—supporting lower operating and cloud costs.
- Better user experience: AI features like real-time translation, automated notes, content generation, and intelligent search feel more instant and responsive because they run locally on the NPU instead of over the network.
- Security and privacy benefits: Running AI on-device keeps sensitive data local instead of constantly sending it to cloud services, giving IT tighter control over information flows and reducing exposure.
- Thermal comfort: Even under sustained AI workloads, devices can run up to 7°C cooler at the surface, which supports reliability and user comfort.
In practice, this means your teams can lean into AI for everyday work—without the usual trade-offs in performance, battery life, or security.
How do these devices balance cost, security, and manageability for SMB IT?
These HP laptops are built to help SMBs rethink how they equip employees—delivering strong performance and security without requiring a premium budget.
From a cost and portfolio perspective:
- Multiple price points: Copilot PCs powered by Snapdragon X Series are available across tiers, with options starting around $600. You still get core benefits like 45 TOPS NPU performance, multi-day battery life, and consistent speed on or off power.
- Broad choice of configurations: With around 50 SKUs and growing across leading OEMs, IT can match devices to roles—from essential productivity to complex workloads—without sacrificing reliability.
On the security and management side:
- Chip-to-cloud protection: These devices include modern firmware protections and security that starts at startup, helping strengthen your endpoint security posture.
- HP Wolf Pro Security (select models): HP offers the first hardware-enforced, virtualization-based threat isolation solution running locally on Snapdragon-based laptops, adding another layer of protection for business users.
- Modern endpoint management: Zero-touch provisioning and remote configuration make it easier for IT to deploy and manage devices across hybrid environments.
For SMBs, this combination means you can standardize on a modern, AI-ready Windows 11 platform that is secure by design, easier to manage, and aligned with budget realities—while still giving employees a responsive, mobile-friendly experience.
