Tech Takes

Looking to set up your HP printer? You’ve come to the right place. In 2025, setting up your HP printer is simpler than ever, thanks to the HP app (previously known as HP Smart). This guide walks you through the entire setup process for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Chromebook, so you can start printing with ease.

If you’re a Kiwi professional, student, or creative who’s been relying on the HP Pavilion Plus, you already know what it means to get strong performance, vibrant visuals, and reliable design at great value. The Pavilion Plus has served professionals, creators, and students well across New Zealand, combining speed, portability, and battery life for everyday productivity.

Still pushing your HP Pavilion laptop hard? Whether you’re studying in Wellington, working remotely from Auckland, or on the go across New Zealand’s stunning landscapes, it’s time to discover what you’re missing. The series that mastered the balance of price and performance has levelled up with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and enhanced features.

For professionals across New Zealand — whether you’re working from a Wellington office, travelling between cities, or tackling demanding creative projects from home — today’s most capable laptops don’t just deliver fast processors. They offer AI-enhanced productivity, robust build quality, and high-end features that give you a genuine edge. The HP OmniBook 7 sets a new standard in the AI laptop experience for today’s fast-moving workflows.

Whether you’re a student hitting the books in Wellington, a creative professional in Auckland, or a remote worker in Christchurch, finding the right laptop can feel overwhelming. HP has made that choice simpler. HP unified its entire laptop portfolio under the OmniBook brand, creating a single, cohesive family of high-performance laptops designed for diverse needs. This new product line combines the former Pavilion, ENVY, and Spectre ranges into a comprehensive series with advanced AI features, sleek designs, and versatile models. OmniBook epitomises performance, portability, and sustainability, catering to students, professionals, and creatives.

Data loss can happen at any time - hardware failure, accidental deletion, malware, or system crashes. Unfortunately, many people don’t start backing up until after they’ve lost important data. The solution is to configure your Windows system to run automatic backups of your important documents, photos, and videos. With automatic data backup enabled, your files stay protected without any manual effort.

Choosing the best laptop for graphic design or video editing is challenging when you have so many options available. Many creatives face a common problem: underpowered laptops that lag, freeze, or stutter during resource-intensive projects.

We’ve entered a new era of AI-powered computing, and the HP OmniBook Ultra leads the way. Whether you’re working from a café in Auckland or collaborating remotely from Wellington, professionals and creators now have access to next-generation technology that sets a higher standard for performance and intelligence. Continuing the legacy of the HP Spectre, the OmniBook Ultra combines top-tier performance, adaptive AI, and portable elegance into a single machine.

Over the past few years, creative professionals across New Zealand — from Auckland design studios to Wellington’s thriving film and media scene — have faced a crucial decision that would significantly impact the way they conduct business: adopt AI and enhance productivity, or risk being left behind. Here at HP, we have recognised this need and have incorporated Microsoft Copilot with the HP OmniBook X and the HP AI Companion to deliver hardware and software capabilities directly to creatives, allowing them access to practical and powerful applications.

Whether you’re working from a Wellington café or commuting across Auckland, New Zealand’s professionals demand a laptop that keeps pace with every task, every environment, and every ambition. Say hello to the HP OmniBook X Flip, a bold reimagining of what a premium laptop can deliver. As the successor to HP’s iconic Spectre series, the OmniBook X Flip has big shoes to fill — and it does so through a transformative approach to premium features, AI intelligence, and versatile design. This next generation of flagship laptops brings a new era of intelligent computing, backed by the powerful Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 258V processor and a breathtaking 3K OLED touch display.
