CES 2026 made something very clear: HP isn’t just showing new products anymore. The company is focusing on how people actually work, create, and use technology day to day. Whether it’s new PCs, different form factors, gaming hardware, smarter printing, or sustainability efforts, HP’s message at CES was simple: improve real workflows, not just talk about specs. Below is a straightforward look at what HP announced at CES 2026 and what it means in practice.

HP’s CES 2026 strategy revolved around three core pillars:
