This week HP had a big “Imagine” event where executives gave speeches and announced a few new things to check out. We’ve got a new “HP IQ” program that sounds like it will be bundled with new HP computers. This is an on-device artificial intelligence chat bot that sits in the top edge of the screen at all times. We’ve also got a new HP Z8 Fury G6i workstation tower for the super high-end computing power, and a new HP EliteBook 6 G2q which is going to be a nice new laptop to carry around.
The new HP IQ application is a local chatbot, but it also detects nearby devices on the network in order to let you easily transfer files to them in case you never learned about the file transfer protocol or network drive file shares that we’ve been using for 40 years.
The HP EliteBook 6 G2q is a premium ultra-thin ultra-light Qualcomm based laptop with Snapdragon X2 Elite and X2 Plus processors for fast ARM-based computing and extended battery life. It will be available with the HP Go 5G mobile internet service which will automatically switch between carriers for the best wireless internet coverage.
The new HP Z8 Fury workstation allows for up to four NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max‑Q GPUs along with Intel’s next generation processors. The case is also a bit wider now to allow for larger GPU cards in case someone makes those in the future.
