HP says the OmniPad 12 has been developed with Indian users in mind, offering a device that can transition between work and entertainment with ease. The detachable keyboard allows users to switch between tablet mode for media consumption and laptop mode for productivity tasks such as document editing, presentations and video calls. The company is targeting students attending online classes, professionals working remotely and small businesses managing day-to-day operations.
The HP OmniPad 12 features a 12-inch 2K multi-touch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, up to 90Hz refresh rate, and 400 nits peak brightness.

The tablet runs Android 16, offering access to Google's ecosystem and productivity apps.
HP claims the OmniPad 12 can deliver up to 18 hours of battery life, making it suitable for a full day of classes, meetings or content consumption. The tablet weighs 600 grams in tablet mode, making it easy to carry between classrooms, offices or client meetings.
