HP is unveiling a slew of new PCs at CES 2026. The updated OmniStudio X 27-inch All-in-One is especially eye-catching, with symmetrical bezels and an impressive 98% screen-to-body ratio.
The updated OmniStudio X is part of a large refresh across HP’s Omni PC lines. Updates are coming to numerous OmniBook and OmniStudio models.
Powerful specs
This PC isn’t playing around
The updated OmniStudio X features an impressive spec list:
Display
27″ QHD (2560×1440) Neo:LED
120 Hz
Anti-glare
Processor
Intel next-gen processors
Graphics
Optional NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050
Storage
16 or 32 GB
Memory
512GB, 1TB, or 2TB in NVMe or Gen5 NVMe
Ports
2 Thunderbolt 4 (40Gbps)
3 USB Type-A (10Gbps)
1 USB 2.0 Type-A
1 HDMI 2.0
1 headphone/micophone combo
1 RJ-45 Ethernet
These specs — especially with the RTX 5050 — should provide a powerful platform for photo editing apps like Darktable, and the video card is even a solid gaming option. You’ll likely want to stick to 1080p resolution for the games with this card, but it could work for turning your PC into an all-in-one gaming console.
The star of the show, however, is the display. Seriously, this thing is gorgeous. The thin, symmetrical bezels — a rarity on all-in-ones — make for an immersive experience. The sleek, height-adjustable stand is a nice touch, and the integrated cable management is perfect for anyone looking to clean up their cables.

The main bottleneck, as with most all-in-ones, is the graphics card. The form factor can cause space and heat issues that put the most powerful graphics cards out of reach. Price is also a possible consideration here. However, if you can get by with the RTX 5050 (or even the integrated Intel graphics), this is a powerhouse of a PC.
