Customer Ratings & Reviews

I think it's a great laptop for what I paid for $1500, I don't think the new price of $1900 is worth it. Panther Lake is a excellent performer, Idisagree with the other reviews saying you can do light gaming on this. I think you can do more than light gaming which is great. My biggest drawback for this laptop which isn't really HP's fault, is that it's a little too bulky for me to travel with regularly and I'm not a fan of having only usb-c on the right side only. Also I'm not a fan of the keyboard, it takes a while to get used too. Other than that it's a great laptop. I purchased this laptop because it's our only X7/X9 option as of February 2026.

HP - OmniBook X – 16” 2K OLED Touchscreen Laptop – Intel Core Ultra X7 358H 2026 – 32GB Memory – 1TB SSD – Copilot+ PC The HP Omnibook X 16” has a sturdy design and exhibits minimal flex with a strong display hinge that supports the touchscreen without wobbling. Build quality is respectable, being all aluminum, but it comes off as a fairly plain design with some noticeable quirks. It has a hefty chassis of 4.6 lbs, but somehow it seems heavier, and the unit is better suited as a mobile workstation than an easy-to-tote laptop. The small power brick is always a nice feature, but the 6.8 ft USB-C to USB-C cord for it is a little short for my taste. Though there is plenty of real estate on the Omnibook the ports are all crammed in a small area of the right side near the top and a couple on the left side near the top. The left side has a USB-2 port and a headset connector while the right side has a USB-2, a full-size HDMI 2.1 port, and two USB-C ports (1 x Thunderbolt 4, 1 x DisplayPort 2.1). It would have been nice to have a USB-C port on the left side. It has Bluetooth 6.0 built-in. And WiFi 7. The speakers are typical for a laptop and decent, and I chose to use some high-end headsets when I wanted real quality sound They narrowed the keys on the keyboard and bumped them slightly to the left to fit in a full keypad. It may take a little practice to get comfortable with the key spacing. The keys are backlit, but when the lighting is off, the contrast between the keys and their low-contrast letters is difficult to read. The keys are comfortable, with a decent feel and adequate travel. There is a nice, responsive touchpad with reliable clicks across most of the pad. The built-in mic is fine for when you are in a pinch for a video meeting. The 16-inch display panel features a 2K, 2048×1280 OLED with a 120Hz refresh rate. While the refresh rate is satisfactory, the 2K resolution limits sharpness. For improved clarity, QHD+ (3.2K) or 4K UHD would be preferable. Text and fine details may appear soft, especially during programming or spreadsheet tasks. The OLED provides deep blacks and vibrant colors, with over 400 nits of brightness, 500 nits on HDR. However, when on battery in Best Power Efficiency mode, which dims the edges, it can be quite distracting. Additionally, the panel shows a noticeable screen-door effect where pixel structure is visible on light backgrounds. Coupled with the glossy finish and reflections in bright settings, this detracts from the nicety of an OLED display. There isn’t a stylus with the machine, and the hinge doesn’t allow for the machine to be a two-in-one or to lay the display flat. The HP 5MP IR Camera with High Dynamic Range Switch capabilities and 16:10 aspect ratio is a nice feature. The camera has a manual shutter for privacy and is of sufficient quality to work as a facial recognition for biometric access. There is no fingerprint reader. The video conferencing quality is quite good. The machine has 32GB of memory and a 1TB solid-state drive. It has an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H 1.9GHz processor with Intel AI Boost (50 NPU TOPS), enabling it to run Windows 11 Copilot Plus. Integrated Intel Arc B390 graphics is used instead of a dedicated graphics setup, which is sufficient for some mid-level games and adequate for video editing. Cooling is adequate, with only some downthrottling under heavy graphics and CPU usage during intensive gaming. When it does get hot you notice the heat is concentrated near the number pad on the right. Normal operation is generally a cool and quit experience. Battery life is approximately 10 to 19Hours worth of video playback and the fast charge allows for charging to go from 0 to 50% in approximately 30 minutes when the computer is in shutdown mode with the included 100W GaN charger. I would consider this a mid-level laptop (mobile workstation) with a pretty high performance level. With a RAM shortage, this will likely remain at a higher price as long as the shortage persists.

I'm glad I bought this before the price increase. Solid laptop for $1.5k, all the features I was looking for (oled, 120hz, power efficient, powerful enough for light gaming). Display res could be higher but it works well.

This laptop has an amazing battery life! with the screen brightness turned down to 30-40% and display refresh rate lowered to 60hz hdr off eco mode on you can expect 11-14+ hours of light use. and display further lowered to 20% 17-18+ hrs on a youtube playlist loop. also the 1200p oled looks fantastic.. and although it's only 2k, I believe it actually pairs better than the higher 2.5k and 4k resolution panels in that it adds to the battery life as well as being a better pairing for the iGPU because games render at 1200p much easier than 2.5k providing a more fluid experience in games and making it easier and more likely to take advantage of the 120hz refresh rate of the monitor by meeting a 120fps minimum in more games. Overall, this is a fantastic do-anything no-compromise laptop. now if only Intel could start making more panther lake models available then maybe the price would come back down to earth. A++ otherwise however.

The features of this laptop are outstanding. I am very pleased with the graphic capabilities and processing power.

No complaints, beast for productivity and light gaming. Only complaint is the keyboard layout but you will get used to it after a few days of use.

Great combination of specs and performance. Professional experience with sales staff.

It had issues on day 3 and I had to use the hard restart to get it to operate again. I am a total HP fan but I returned it

I am replacing a similar sized Samsung laptop that is also a Windows Copilot PC. The first thing I noticed is the additional weight (4.6 lbs. vs. 3.4 lbs.) It doesn't sound like much but it is noticeable. Initial setup went smoothly, although using the Windows Backup and Restore didn't actually install any third party apps, so I still has a number of apps to install and configure. The computer is very powerful, and I didn't notice any performance issues during testing. I'm not a gamer, but this should be able to handle most modern games with proper video settings. I did play some 4K video from my media server using VLC as the player, and it handed the 60-100 Mbps streams without any issue. I specifically want to mention the WiFi performance. Sitting her in my chair I'm about eight feet from one of my access points that connects to my Gigabit home network and a 900 Mbps Xfinity connection. Usually in this chair the Samsung would max out around 550 Mbps on my 802.11ax access point. This HP tested in the same location closer to 650 Mbps, so very impressive. The image quality of the screen is excellent, and the 4K movie I tried looked wonderful. The display does support HDR color spacing. I have two observations. Not really complaints, just something to be aware of. The first is that the keys on the keyboard are a bit larger than normal, meaning they are a bit more tightly packed together. I'm finding I'm hitting the wrong key occasionally because the spacing is a bit different than I'm used to. The other is that there's only two USB-C ports, and both are on the right edge of the laptop. It would be nice if there were at least one on the left side, as that's more convenient for my power connection. Highly recommended, as long as the extra weight isn't an issue for your use.
