HP Unveils 20+ Products in India Including OmniPad 12 and AI Keyboard PC

HP has unveiled a portfolio of more than 20 new products and solutions in India, marking the company's entry into two distinct device categories with the India-first HP OmniPad 12 and the HP EliteBoard G1a AI keyboard PC. The launch addresses varying technology adoption levels across the market, targeting students, first-time PC users, MSMEs, and enterprises modernizing workplace infrastructure.

The OmniPad 12 represents HP's expansion into Android-based personal computing. The device features a 12-inch multi-touch display with a detachable keyboard that allows users to shift between touch-first tablet use and PC-style productivity. Powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, HP claims the device delivers up to 18 hours of battery life. The tablet is positioned for learning, collaboration, and everyday productivity tasks.

According to The Times of India, the OmniPad 12 will be available in June 2026 across HP's online store, Amazon, Reliance, and HP World stores at a starting price of ₹48,999. This pricing positions the device as an accessible entry point for first-time PC users who need portability without sacrificing core productivity features.

The EliteBoard G1a takes a more radical approach to form factor. First unveiled at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, the device integrates computing hardware directly into a keyboard form factor. It measures 12 mm thick and weighs 750 grams—less than half the weight of a traditional notebook PC. The system runs Windows 11 Pro for Business and is powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series NPU capable of delivering up to 50 peak TOPS of AI performance.

The Indian Express reports the EliteBoard G1a includes dual mics and speakers built into the keyboard, a 32W built-in battery, and HP Smart Sense with AMD's Auto State Management for dynamic performance and battery optimization. The device requires a wireless mouse since it lacks a trackpad, and it pairs to displays via USB-C. Pricing starts at ₹89,900 on the HP online store.

HP's broader PC refresh includes updated versions of its EliteBook, ProBook, and OmniBook series. The enterprise-focused EliteBook and ProBook lineup includes the HP EliteBook X G2 series, HP EliteBook 8 G2 series, and HP ProBook 4 G2 series. These systems feature AI processing capabilities with up to 85 TOPS, enterprise-grade protection through HP Wolf Security, and HP Sure View privacy screens.

For creators and general consumers, the OmniBook range updates include the HP OmniBook Ultra 14 series, HP OmniBook X 14, HP OmniBook 5, and HP OmniBook 3. These PCs deliver up to 80 TOPS of AI performance and include AI-driven features such as gesture controls and posture correction through HP's software ecosystem. The OmniBook Ultra 14 with Intel Ultra processors starts at ₹2,14,999, while the OmniBook 5 with Intel Ultra processors begins at ₹1,24,999.

A key component of the announcement is HP IQ, the company's new on-device AI framework. HP IQ includes capabilities such as contextual assistance, document analysis, and meeting note capture while keeping AI processing local to the device. The platform also introduces HP NearSense, enabling proximity-based device discovery, faster pairing, seamless screen casting, and simplified connectivity across the HP ecosystem. HP IQ will debut in select AI PCs later this year.

Beyond consumer devices, HP expanded its professional workstation portfolio with systems designed for AI workloads and graphics-intensive applications. The new lineup includes the HP Z8 Fury G6i, HP ZGX Nano G1n AI Station, HP Z4 G6i, and HP ZBook X G2i 16 series. These systems offer next-generation AI workstation performance with AMD and Intel options, scalable memory, and enhanced portability for professionals working across complex workflows.

The company also introduced updates to its collaboration portfolio with new Poly-branded conferencing products, including the Poly Mission 400 Series headsets featuring AI-powered noise reduction and the Poly G62 Video Conferencing Solution with AI-enabled audio and video capabilities. In the printing segment, HP launched AI Optimize Print Formatting, designed to improve print layouts, alignment, and formatting automatically while reducing paper waste.

According to The Economic Times, HP India Managing Director Ipsita Dasgupta stated the launch aims to address varying levels of technology adoption across India. Vineet Gehani, Senior Director for Personal Systems at HP India, noted growing demand for flexible and connected computing experiences as hybrid work models continue to evolve.

The physical reality of these devices matters. The EliteBoard G1a's keyboard form factor means users will type on a device that also functions as their computer—a concept that sounds clever until you realize you need a separate mouse and monitor to complete the setup. The OmniPad 12's detachable keyboard attachment adds weight and bulk compared to a pure tablet, though the 18-hour battery claim (if accurate) could genuinely change how students and professionals approach mobile work.

Whether users actually pay for these AI features remains the real question. The market has seen countless "AI PC" announcements, but the tangible benefits beyond marketing speak are still being proven. HP's India-first approach with the OmniPad 12 suggests the company sees opportunity in bridging the gap between tablet convenience and PC productivity for emerging markets. Whether that gap is wide enough to justify a new product category is something only sales figures will answer.
