HP's Japanese arm is shipping an October slate of AI PCs, led by the OmniBook Ultra 16 and OmniBook 5 14, while its enterprise and consumer EliteBook and OmniBook X Aero 14 machines were announced at its October 2026 conference. HP Japan also runs a cloud service for construction sites and has adopted Nvidia's RTX Spark across two laptops and a mini desktop.
HP's Japanese announcements in October 2026 center on AI PCs. The OmniBook Ultra 16 uses Nvidia RTX Spark with up to 128GB of unified memory and up to 1 petaflop of FP4 AI performance, with three launch models and orders opening October 29 at prices starting from 596,200 yen. A week later HP announced the OmniBook 5 14, a 14-inch 2K OLED laptop rated at up to 42 hours of local video playback, aimed at students and young professionals. Earlier in October, at its HP Future of Work AI Conference 2026, HP announced the enterprise EliteBook 8 G2iW 14, available now from 529,100 yen, and the consumer OmniBook X Aero 14, due in late November or later from 209,800 yen.
The RTX Spark adoption was already visible at IFA 2026 in Berlin, where HP announced the OmniBook Ultra 16, the OmniBook X 14, and the compact OmniDesk around the chip, with both laptops offered with a 20-core N1X CPU and 6144-core Blackwell RTX GPU or an 18-core N1X with a 5120-core GPU. Both laptops ship in fall 2026, with pricing to come closer to launch. The Ultra 16 reappears in the October 15 announcement with more detailed memory and model configurations.
Beyond hardware, HP Japan began offering the Japanese version of HP Build Workspace, a cloud service for architecture, engineering and construction, on September 2. The service keeps paper and digital drawings in a single place, marks printed drawings with QR codes that flag outdated copies, and includes an AI feature that converts scanned drawings into editable CAD data. HP also announced a compatible large format printer.
