New Year, New Tech
“It’s Christmas time at HP,” with a wave of new products hitting the market following HP’s recent Amplify Partner Conference. Leading the charge are the refreshed HP EliteBook and ProBook ranges, powered by Intel’s latest Core Ultra processors—designed to deliver cutting-edge performance across a variety of form factors and verticals.
A Partnership Decades in the Making
Mark highlights the enduring partnership between HP and Intel, which began back in the mid-1980s and continues to go from strength to strength. “The number of Intel-powered devices in HP’s lineup is astronomical,” he said. “From EliteBooks and ProBooks to Chromebooks, desktops, and even gaming rigs—the breadth is incredible.”
Introducing the Intel Core Ultra Series
One of the biggest announcements from Intel is the launch of its Core Ultra 200 Series, codenamed ‘Arrow Lake.’ These processors are designed for thin-and-light devices, but don’t let the size fool you—they’re built for high performance. “Whether it’s our new workstations, ProBooks or EliteBooks, there’s a Core Ultra solution that fits the bill,” said Mark.
This next-gen silicon brings enhanced AI capabilities, powerful integrated GPUs, and improved battery efficiency, ensuring users get the best of both performance and portability.
AI-Ready, Performance-Driven
Artificial intelligence is no longer on the horizon—it’s here. But Mark is quick to point out that HP and Intel aren’t just talking about AI—they’re building devices that are ready for it. “From AI PC innovations to performance-first devices that prioritise processing power, there’s a wide range of options to future-proof your technology investment.”

Whether you’re in education, enterprise, SMB, or content creation—there’s an HP + Intel solution tailored for your needs. Mark’s passion lies in the workstation space, and he especially champions the Fury 18 as a powerhouse for data science, creative workflows, and AI-driven tasks. “It’s a full desktop replacement that still fits in your backpack,” he shared.
