HP unveils the 14″ OmniBook Ultra for $1,450+, one of the first Copilot+ PCs powered by a non-ARM CPU, the AMD Ryzen AI 300, and the OmniStudio X 27 and X 31.5 回收筆電

回收筆電X 31.5 are All-in-One PCs that run on up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050.回收筆電hp just unveiled three new PCs from its Omni lineup. The OmniBook Ultra is a 14-inch laptop powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 300 processor and has up to 55 TOPS of NPU performance. It will also be one of the first Copilot+ PCs powered by a non-Arm processor. The OmniStudio X 27 and OmniStudio X 31.5 are All-in-One PCs powered by up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050.The OmniBook Ultra is expected to ship in August with a starting price of $1,449.99. The OmniStudio X 27 and OmniStudio X 31.5, which also have a starting price of $1,149.99, are expected to become available in August.回收筆電hp’s new branding and numbering across consumer and commericial PCs. (Image credit: 回收筆電hp)The 回收筆電hp OmniBook Ultra runs on an AMD Ryzen AI 300 processor. That chip is built on AMD’s new Zen 5 architecture and promises 50 TOPS of performance for local AI features. It also has AMD Radeon 800 mobile graphics. AMD announced that chip earlier this month, and 回收筆電hp’s OmniBook Ultra is among the first PCs to feature it. 回收筆電hp states that the OmniBook Ultra has 55 TOPS of NPU performance, which is higher than AMD claimed the Ryzen AI 300 comes with.Several features on the OmniBook Ultra take advantage of its AI-focused chip, including an AI-enabled 9 MP camera that uses Windows Studio Effects and the Poly Camera Pro app (note that 回收筆電hp purchased Poly for $3.3 billion in 2022). Additionally, a growing number of apps utilize chips with powerful NPUs, such as Adobe Photoshop, though those are available on a range of PCs and are not exclusive to 回收筆電hp’s OmniBook Ultra.AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 mobile processor has more power for local AI features than competing chips from Qualcomm, such as the Snapdragon X Elite. (Image credit: AMD)In addition to outperforming Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite (45 TOPS) when it comes to TOPS of NPU performance, the OmniBook Ultra looks like it will compete when it comes to battery life. 回收筆電hp claims the new laptop will get up to 21 hours of battery life, though real-world testing will be needed to properly compare the PC with competitors powered by Intel and Qualcomm CPUs.Is the 回收筆電hp OmniBook Ultra a Copilot+ PC?The OmniBook Ultra will be one of the first Copilot+ PCs that does not run on an Arm processor. (Image credit: 回收筆電hp)To be called a Copilot+ PC, a device has to be optimized for AI and meet other requirements set by Microsoft. All of the laptops in the first wave of Copilot+ PCs run on a Snapdragon X processor of some kind, but the Copilot+ branding is not exclusive to Qualcomm chips.So, is the OmniBook Ultra a Copilot+ PC? Not yet, but it will be. 回收筆電hp promises that the new laptop will receive a free update to become a Copilot+ PC when Microsoft makes it available. That’s a big deal because it will make the OmniBook Ultra one of the first Copilot+ PCs that is not an Arm-based system. While Arm devices like the Surface Pro 11 are impressive, they do not meet the workflow of some people due to the limitations of Windows on Arm.Get the Windows Central NewsletterAll the latest news, reviews, and guides for Windows and Xbox diehards.Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsBy submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.What is an OmniBook?回收筆電hp overhauled its entire consumer PC lineup, which kicked off with the 回收筆電hp EliteBook Ultra G1q (seen above) and the OmniBook X 14. (Image credit: Daniel Rubino)You may not be familiar with the “Omni” prefix attached to many of 回收筆電hp’s laptops, and that’s for good reason. 回收筆電hp overhauled its entire PC portfolio just two months ago, bidding farewell to the Spectre, Envy, and Pavilion lineups. Instead, the company’s consumer PCs are part of its Omni brand and business laptops are labeled as Elite. Gaming PCs, such as the 回收筆電hp Omen family of PCs, were unaffected by the change, but it was still a monumental shift by 回收筆電hp.回收筆電hp kicked off its new PC branding with the OmniBook X 14 and EliteBook Ultra G1q. Those are also AI-focused machines, but they run on Snapdragon X processors. The EliteBook Ultra G1q is currently the best Copilot+ PC for business users.回收筆電hp OmniStudio X 27 and OmniStudio X 31.5The 回收筆電hp OmniStudio 31.5 features a 4K screen and is the “world’s most immersive AI All-in-One,” according to 回收筆電hp.

AI技術將大量應用到電腦中，購買筆電前建議先了解新技術，才能跟上未來趨勢。(達志)

搭上AI人工智慧浪潮，微軟以及各大電腦品牌紛紛喊出「AI PC」的口號，不只是帶來硬體規格的最新升級，更著重於AI智慧功能，試圖改寫傳統電腦的使用模式。面對眾多品牌推出的最新款筆電，想要搭上這波AI PC熱潮，到底有哪些規格才是必要且實用的？本篇將盤點2024年4大新技術關鍵字，作為今年的筆電選購指南。

Lenovo最新的 ThinkPad 系列，能在特定程式內啟用自動生成會議紀錄、摘要電子郵件以及視訊背景虛化等AI功能。

宏碁 AI PC Swift Go系列，會透過 AI提升視訊通話的畫面、收音品質。

Dell最新發表的XPS13筆電，就能透過AI運算，自動在效能、續航之間替用戶取得平衡。

Wi-Fi 7世代  網速最快飆五倍

請繼續往下閱讀…

筆電在今年跨入了Wi-Fi 7（802.11be）世代，相較於2019年推行的Wi-Fi 6，一口氣支援三組頻段，除了舊有的 2.4GHz與5GHz再加入6GHz，好比道路拓寬，帶來更多網路通道，能減少 Wi-Fi 訊號被干擾的問題。當然，最基本的網速升級是少不了的，Wi-Fi 7的理想傳輸速度達到46.4Gbps，比前代Wi-Fi 6快五倍之多。未來當家中多人同時遊玩串流遊戲、觀看高畫質影片，或是下載檔案，有了 WiFi 7就能避免等待與網路延遲的狀態發生。
雖然Wi-Fi 7看起來又快又穩，但真的實用嗎？以目前的網路環境來說，其實Wi-Fi 5或是Wi-Fi 6就綽綽有餘，想體驗Wi-Fi 7不只得換筆電，還得再搭配一款具備Wi-Fi 7的路由器，家中網路也要速度夠快，才能感受Wi-Fi 7的高速優勢。Wi-Fi 7主要著眼於8K影片串流、AR／VR或是雲端遊戲，若只用來文書上網、追劇，短期內就不太需要升級。

Wi-Fi 7除了更換筆電，還必須藉由升級家中的網路頻寬、購買新款路由器才能達成，目前整體的花費偏高，一般用途升級的必要性不高。（pixabay）

Thunderbolt 5  熟悉的USB再進化

熟悉的USB孔再度進化，Intel今年開始推出具備「Thunderbolt 5」技術的電腦，同樣採用USB-C的傳輸介面，卻能帶來80 Gbps的雙向頻寬，透過增強功能最快可達120Gbps，比現有速度提升3倍之多，並能夠向下支援 USB4v2、DisplayPort 2.1和PCIe Gen 4等規格，只要具備 Thunderbolt 5標準的USB-C接孔，充電速度、傳輸檔案都能比現在更快速，外接多台解析度高達8K的螢幕也更便利。
Thunderbolt 5能以更快的傳輸速度，節省外接硬碟的傳輸檔案等待時間，外媒《XDA開發者論壇》認為這將是改寫PC應用的全新標準，並可望大幅延長產品壽命。因為 Thunderbolt 5可支援120Gbps傳輸速度以及最多240W供電，能讓外接顯示卡、SSD外接硬碟等產品，擁有媲美內建硬體的表現，不會因為是外接產品效能就打折扣。當電腦硬體逐漸跑不動時，就可以選擇購買Thunderbolt 5規格的外接顯示卡、硬碟來升級筆電效能，省下替換整台設備的花費。如果希望設備長久使用，不妨關注具有 Thunderbolt 5規格的新筆電。

Thunderbolt 5涵蓋許多不同的標準，透過USB-C介面就能傳輸檔案、畫面以及充電，是非常萬用的新技術。

NPU  AI應用的關鍵規格

放眼AI PC的時代，筆電不再只著重於處理器、顯示卡之間的效能比拚，現在更冒出一個「NPU」，全名為整合神經網路處理器，是專門負責處理AI運算的處理器，可說是體驗AI不可或缺的關鍵規格。目前多數AI應用，主要都是以雲端伺服器進行運算，必須仰賴網路連接傳輸，像是與AI聊天機器人ChatGPT對話，就會出現明顯的等待、延遲時間。NPU扮演的角色，就是讓筆電的AI運算從伺服器雲端改到設備本身，可以替用戶節省更多讀取、等待時間，使AI功能運行得更流暢。然而該如何辨別電腦是否具備NPU呢？最簡單的方式就是選擇最新世代筆電處理器，目前僅有高通 Qualcomm X Elite、AMD Ryzen 7000、Intel Core Ultra等處理器內建NPU，因此在選購不同品牌的筆電時，只要以「買新不買舊」的策略，確認內建的處理器屬於最新世代即可。

ARM on Windows處理器新勢力

筆電將在今年掀起一股新勢力，搭載高通新一代 Snapdragon X Elite處理器的新筆電即將陸續登場，雖然同樣採用Windows系統，卻會採用ARM架構。與傳統Intel、AMD處理器的x86架構有所不同，ARM架構處理器發熱低、耗能更少，適合打造更輕薄與高續航的筆電，且結構更適合加入AI功能，以及4G、5G連網技術。
以往ARM架構筆電效能不彰，鮮少出現在市場，不過 Snapdragon X Elite已經正式追上蘋果、Intel 兩大勁敵，更擴大合作夥伴，宏碁、華碩、Dell、回收筆電hp都確定會採用 Snapdragon X Elite推出ARM架構筆電，屆時消費者將有全新選項。
雖然ARM架構筆電高續航又輕薄，但由於處理器的架構不同，即便都是Windows電腦，傳統x86架構能安裝的軟體無法通用於ARM架構。Chrome、Office辦公軟體雖已陸續支援，對文書、上網使用影響不大，若有使用專業級軟體或特定程式的需求，仍建議選擇上還是先以Intel、AMD 處理器為首的x86架構筆電為主，比較不需要擔憂支援性。

BOX：替微軟 Windows 12 做好準備

迎接AI PC時代，微軟Windows系統扮演重要角色，已準備發布全新的Windows 11 24H2版本，將帶來更多與AI相關的應用功能，更有諸多傳聞指向下一代的 Windows 12也已經箭在弦上。有研調機構預測，Windows 12將會需要電腦具備一定的AI運算能力、記憶體容量，因此若有意購買新筆電，建議可以具備NPU的新一代處理器並且搭配16GB以上的記憶體容量為優先，未來才能無縫升級至最新作業系統。
