HP unveiled its new EliteBook 6 lineup with a Qualcomm-equipped model that delivers 45 TOPS; no Intel in sight though

• EliteBook 6 G1q is HP’s flagship 14-inch next-gen AI laptop
• It’s powered by Snapdragon X chips with up to 45 TOPS NPU performance
• There’s an AMD version of the 14-inch laptop, but Intel sits this one out

HP has been shaking things up at its Amplify 2025 event, unveiling new AI laptops and changing brand names in a bid to make them easier for would-be buyers to understand. The company offers “i” or “a” versions of its AI laptops, so you can tell at a glance whether a device has an Intel or an AMD processor.

However these aren’t the only players in town – and HP knows it. If you’re a highly mobile professional who needs to stay constantly connected and wants to offload time-consuming tasks to AI, HP has launched the EliteBook 6 G1 series laptop, which includes a 14-inch model with a 40–60 TOPS NPU that’s “purpose-built for knowledge creators to do more.”
