HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) has launched the industry’s largest portfolio of commercial and consumer AI PCs leveraging the power of AI to enhance productivity, creativity, and user experiences in hybrid work settings.

In an ever-changing hybrid work landscape, workers are still struggling with disconnection and digital fatigue. HP’s 2023 Work Relationship Index reveals that only 27% of knowledge workers have a healthy relationship with work, and 83% believe it’s time to redefine our relationships with work. Most employees believe AI will open new opportunities to enjoy work and make their jobs easier,⁶ but they need the right AI tools and technology to succeed.

 “AI creates a level playing field ensuring we’re all creators, innovators and entrepreneurs. The sheer variety of applications and services in [insert country] and the entire region is testament to the need for local solutions that fit local needs. AI ensures that ideas can be executed,” said Ida Evina Ong-Co, Managing Director HP Philippines. “Beyond that, AI will greatly boost productivity for everyone, taking care of time-consuming tasks and allowing our talents across the country to focus on higher-level creativity and innovation. The latest suite of AI PCs from HP is designed to deliver on the potential of [insert country]’s future”.

• A PC That Adapts to You: A 9 MP camera with hardware-enabled low-light adjustment for clear calls day or night; a dedicated AI chip that delivers built-in security features including walk away lock, wake on approach, and privacy alerts to warn you of snooping eyes; adaptive screen adjustments like a screen dimmer when you look away to save power and variable refresh rate for immersive performance and power efficiency;⁴ and, automatic performance optimization that adjusts fan noise and temperatures based on applications being used, placement of the laptop, and battery status.
