Qualcomm Technologies and HUMAIN, a PIF company, today launched Horizon Ultra, their next-generation AI PC, at LEAP 2026. Designed and powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite platform, the device marks a new personal computing experience centered on on-device AI. The first release runs Microsoft Windows, combining a familiar enterprise environment with hardware designed for artificial intelligence. In 2027, the line will introduce HUMAIN OS to extend AI capabilities further into the personal computing layer.

At the center of Horizon Ultra is Snapdragon X2 Elite, featuring an 18-core Qualcomm Oryon CPU alongside the Adreno GPU and Hexagon NPU. This architecture allows workloads to be distributed across specialized compute engines, enabling advanced AI models to run locally while seamlessly extending to the cloud when additional capacity is required. By bringing dedicated AI processing directly into the PC, Horizon Ultra delivers faster, more responsive AI experiences while allowing sensitive data to remain on the device, supporting privacy and data sovereignty.

The launch aligns with Qualcomm's vision of AI as the new interface for computing, creating intelligent agents. For enterprises, the device extends AI from centralized infrastructure to the employee endpoint. Al Falak will serve as the sales and delivery partner, supporting enterprise deployment. The planned introduction of HUMAIN OS in 2027 represents the next phase of the roadmap, bringing deeper integration between the device and HUMAIN's wider technology platform.
