This Dedicated AI Laptop From Humain and Qualcomm Is Like No PC I’ve Ever Seen Before

The Humain Horizon Pro PC puts agentic AI at the heart of your computing experience.

You might think you know PCs, but I can guarantee you haven’t seen one exactly like this before. A new laptop unveiled at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii is a dedicated AI machine, designed to put AI agents at the heart of your computing experience.

The Horizon Pro PC is the first piece of consumer hardware from the Saudi artificial intelligence company Humain. It runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite chip — although the companies didn’t specify if it was the X2 Elite chip, unveiled on Wednesday. Humain claims the laptop can operate up to 100 times faster than human thought.

«Humain did not create this to be a PC maker,» said Humain CEO Tareq Amin at the Snapdragon Summit. «We created this to redefine the future user experience.»

The device’s core is an AI-focused operating system called Humain One. Its simple interface gives you options like «chat,» «generate image,» «knowledge retrieval» and «doc summarizer.» It looks and feels different from any other laptop interface you might be used to, with a simple array of task-focused tiles rather than a windows—or apps-based display.

The Horizon Pro is for both enterprise and consumer customers. The consumer version is tailored for personal and creative use, shipping with pre-installed Humain AI applications designed to help with specific tasks, such as providing homework assistance and generating stories through chats and images. Detailed specs are currently unknown, except for the fact that it has a zero-latency wake time and over 18 hours of battery life.

At the launch of the Horizon Pro, Amin said it was important to him that the laptop was a «premium segment device.» Co-designed with Qualcomm, it has a high-spec OLED display from Samsung. According to Amin, it will be available on a subscription basis at «an extremely disruptive cost… 40% less than anything you find in the market.»

There will be three different product tiers available — the Horizon S for scholars, the Horizon Pro and the Horizon Ultra. A press release about the Horizon Pro promises global availability, but Humain hasn’t yet shared specific pricing or dates.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday spelling out a deal that could transfer the majority ownership of Chinese-founded app TikTok to Americans.

 A representative for the White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

The president said that he had agreed with Chinese president Xi Jinping that TikTok would be separated from its Chinese owner, ByteDance, in order to continue operating in the US. US companies will own about 80% of the US version of the app. Six Americans will sit on TikTok’s seven-member board of directors, The Guardian reported.
