HP has launched a number of new AI -Bearing computers on its Amplify 2025 event with a number of new brand names.
The company’s 800 series is now Elitebook 8, and the 600 series is now Elitebook 6 (both systems come in 13, 14 and 16 inch sizes).
The 400 series is now Probook 4 (in 14 and 16-inch sizes). The ZBook Firefly is now ZBOOK 8 G1I (Intel) and G1A (AMD), ZBOOK Power is now ZBOOK X G1I, Elite Mini/SFF/Tower is now ELEMITEDESK AND ELITE AIO is now elite studio. Clear?
Easy to understand
At the beginning of the year, Dell decided that the arrival of the AI era meant it was time for a new start, and in the debut of a new pro area of laptops, it waved goodbye to the beloved latitude brand that was first introduced back in 1994.
However, the ax swinging did not end there. The company also debuted with a new Pro Max Mobile WorkStation family that replaced the 32-year precision brand. Intel, who finally has a new CEO, has also played the name game recently to try to make things clearer for customers.
While HP’s Ommarking is not nearby as bigger as Dells (it’s also worth noting that more people will be familiar with Dell’s latitude and precision marks than any of HP’s brands), it’s still another big change for consumers to get their heads around. At least it’s straightforward enough.
If you want an elitebook 8 G1 series laptop, you can distinguish the models by size (13, 14, 16), processor (G1I for Intel or G1A for AMD) and next gene and regular AI models (offering different tops). When you know what is what, you can quickly see the difference between HP Elitebook 8 G1A 13 ”Next Gen Ai PC and HP Elitebook 8 G1I 16” AI PC.
Is the redirection absolutely necessary? It’s a matter of debate.
“We take a very conventional and pragmatic approach,” Tom Butler, CEO of commercial portfolio and product management in Lenovo, recently told NotebookCheck.
“There is a serial name for our ThinkPad products, such as T -Series, L -Series or E series, with screen sizes in the product name for clarity -T14, T16 and so on. To keep it logical and help people keep track of, we also have a generation name after. At the moment we do not make changes in our direction. or lenbook or lenov consumers.
