Humain Unveils Horizon Pro, an AI-First Laptop Built on Snapdragon X Elite

The Saudi PIF-backed PC centers on an Arabic-first model running locally for privacy.

Overview

  • Humain announced the Horizon Pro at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit in Maui during a fireside chat between CEOs Tareq Amin and Cristiano Amon.
  • The device uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite processor family with company-quoted claims of up to 18 hours of battery life and operation “up to 100 times faster than human thought,” which have not been independently verified.
  • Its Humain One operating system is positioned to manage enterprise workflows and communications while integrating the ALLAM Arabic-first large language model for on-device AI with hybrid cloud support.
  • Reported specs include a 14-inch 2880×1800 OLED display, 32GB of RAM, 1TB SSD storage, a 1080p webcam, and Wi‑Fi 7, alongside company claims of advanced thermals and 40% lower power use versus competing systems.
  • Humain plans enterprise lease subscriptions bundled with its AI suite, consumer sales with pre-installed apps requiring activation, and a giveaway of 500 units to students, with early-adopter registration open and no release date announced.
