Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've owned the HP OmniBook X for almost a week now and I have been pretty impressed with this little powerful machine. I'll be honest and say that Initially, I was not expecting the Snapdragon X Plus processor in this laptop to impress me as much as it has. I believe it is the future of windows machines. Windows OS tends to be a power hog and most windows laptops Ive owned in the past tend to average 1-4 hours of battery life when doing anything intensive. I've always had to keep windows laptops connected to a power source to get the most out of them. ANYWHO.. The snapdragon X Plus in this laptop is so power efficient and quite powerful considering it is an ARM based processor. I would say I am probably averaging about 8-10 hours of battery life before plugging it in to charge. HP advertises that you could expect 26 to 28 hours of battery life with this machine. I would assume that is in energy saving mode, you could probably expect more like 16-18 hours of real world usage battery life. I keep mine with the display at its brightest, and in best performance mode. I averaged less than expected battery life because while testing this machine I decided to try and play some games with it. And to my surprise, this machine can handle some light gaming. Don't expect this machine to run Cyber Punk at its highest settings. But I was able to play rocket league, critter crunch. I would not recommend this machine for gaming, but it is nice to know that it can run some games. I tried to run marvel rivals, but it crashes because of GPU issues. I managed to get Resident Evil 3 to run on this laptop, but it was missing a bunch of textures hehe. I don't think it's a power issue, I think it has more to do with the fact that it is an ARM based processor with discrete GPU, and the compatibility just isn't there yet. I suppose it will be up to DEVS to update software and drivers to support these type of hardware. But most other applications I use daily worked flawlessly. Web browsing, media consumption, photo editing apps all run great. Build Quality of this laptop is better than expected. The machine feels quite premium. I think it's mostly plastic, but the top shell kind of feels like aluminum. The laptop is lightweight and very thin. It is easy to carry in a backpack. It has two usb(4) C ports and one standard USB port. It also has an auxiliary port for connecting headphones. I really like the keyboard on it. It is very tactile and the keys have nice travel. The letters are easy to read and are backlit. The trackpad is large and smooth. I have no complaints with the tracking pad. The default setting is fast enough and smooth for me. The OLED screen on this laptop is the highlight, in my opinion. It has amazing colors and contrast. I believe it has a 120hz refresh rate, and while the screen is only advertised to have 300 nits of brightness it is bright enough for most situations. Probably will not be good for outdoor use in bright sunlight though. The glass on the screen is pretty reflective. You can see your own reflection in it sometimes, especially if sitting directly under a light. But to me, this is not a big deal. You can just adjust the angle of the screen a little and it becomes mostly unnoticeable. I love OLED screens, and this one certainly does not disappoint. The speakers in the laptop are good enough for media consumption and casual music listening. They get loud enough and don't sound tinny. I wish they had a little more bass and miss but at this price point, I think they sound fine. My only real complaint with this laptop is that it only has 16gb of memory and it is not upgradable. So keep that in mind. I wish it had at least 1 TB of storage, but 512gb is manageable if you use cloud services. Currently external drives and SSD's are expensive, so I would recommend that you keep in mind that you'll have to manage your storage more often than not with this machine. All in All though, the HP Omnibook X is a very impressive laptop. The Snapdragon X plus is highly efficient and quite powerful for most day to day tasks. You can opt to use all the new Ai features in windows if you choose to, and the processor will handle all those tasks easily. I would definitely recommend this laptop if you are in need of laptop for work and some play. It is small and lightweight, battery life is amazing, and I think it will only get better as it receives software updates along the road. I really like it, and will be taking it with me to work everyday.

The HP OmniBook X with Snapdragon X Plus processor is the perfect laptop for travelers. It is powerful enough to run most personal productivity applications with authority. Everyday tasks such as watching videos, web browsing, and using software applications are an absolute pleasure with this laptop. Best of all, the Snapdragon processor provides the best battery life of any laptop I have ever used. I have been using it for several hours a day for the past few days and the battery power is still above 50 percent! Because of the excellent battery performance this laptop will now be my primary on the go companion. The snappy performance and long battery life make this laptop a winner. After turning it on for the first time, one of the first things I was impressed by was the picture quality of the 2K OLED display. The images are bright and colorful and black levels are deep and uniform. I used it to watch Netflix and was blown away by the excellent video quality. YouTube videos likewise looked great. OLED screens really stand out, and this display does not disappoint in the picture quality department. 2K is the sweet spot for portable laptops because 4K displays drain the battery much faster. That doesn't matter much if you are using your laptop with a charger attached, but if that is not the case you will appreciate the longer battery life a 2K screen provides. The display doubles as a touch screen which is responsive. The touchpad is likewise responsive and tracks hand movements well. The 14 inch display size is a great portable laptop dimension because it is small enough to fit in a bag or to carry around, but large enough to be of use. Microsoft Copilot+ is included and the laptop is rated at 45 NPU Tops. This stands for Trillions of Operations Per Second performed by a Neural Processing Unit. This is a newer rating standard that applies to AI functions. 40 TOPS is the minimum for Microsoft Copilot+. I found the AI functionality to work perfectly and the performance to be snappy. Included in the box is a 65W charging brick with a detachable USB-C cord. The charger was able to charge my iPhone as well as my Bluetooth headphones. The laptop has internal speakers but I recommend using headphones or an external speaker for sound. The laptop has 2 USB-C ports and one USB-A port. Also included is a headphone/microphone combo jack. The keyboard does not have a ten key pad but that is to be expected at this size footprint. It provides all of the standard key functions and should not be considered as a compact layout. Thankfully the keyboard is backlit and the backlight intensity can be adjusted or turned off. The included solid state drive is large enough for most users. The 16 GB of Ram is likewise sufficient for everyone but power users. If you need a powerful but portable laptop this is the model to get. I am very much looking forward to taking it on trips and to anywhere else I need to go away from home. If you are concerned about the performance of a Snapdragon processor, don't be. It works as well as the other processor brands and provides unmatched battery life.

The HP OmniBook X 14" 2K OLED with the Snapdaragon X Plus takes the most efficient Qualcomm chip, powers it with an OLED panel and effectively gives you up to a day and a half of battery life. The result is a 2.9 pound, half-inch thick ultraportable that can compete with any laptop in its class. After spending my first week with the OmniBook X, I'll give you my thoughts on how it performs and what its strengths and weaknesses are - Unboxing - Inside the box, HP keeps it simple. There's the HP Omnibook X in Meteor Silver, a 65 W USB Type-C GaN mini wall charger with a detachable 2 meter USB-C cable, and the documentation. One thing you'll notice is the charger looks small and easy to carry, and the OmniBook X looks ultra-portable. The packaging is minimal and clean. - Design & Build - The OmniBook x has a classic, minimalistic design that looks professional rather than flashy. It's portable, can easily be held with one-hand, and it will slide into any bag or backpack easily. The build quality is solid, and it has a premium feel thanks to the aluminum lid and bottom panel. The hinges make it easy to open with one finger which is nice when your hands are full. The display opens wide, but it does not fold flat. I would estimate it opens to about 150 degrees. The hinge tension is good enough to avoid any shaking when you're using the touchscreen. The keyboard feels good with hardly any flex. The trackpad feels great and it's tactile and responsive. There's a FHD IR webcam with a privacy shutter (manual shutter.) - Specs & Features - Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus with 8 cores. This ARM processor feels really quick Graphics: Qualcomm Adreno NPU: 45 TOPS (Great for AI) Memory: 16GB LPDDR5x 8448 MT/s (Soldered) Display: 14" OLED Ports: Left Side 2 USB-C 10Gbps (Power delivery, Display Port 1.4a), Right side USB-A, Headphone/Microphone jack SSD: 512 GB Ports: 2 USB-C, 1 USB-A (Display Port 1.4 over USB-C) WiFi 6E Bluetooth 5.3 Webcam: FullHD IR (Windows Hello) - Performance - Overall, the HP OmniBook X took everything I threw at it. The processor just seems so fast. Apps open quickly, I had a lot of tabs open, and multiple applications open. The whole time it ran it just felt cool with little to no heat. The benchmark scores are equally impressive. on GeekBench 6 it scored a Single Core score of 2380 and a Multi Core score of 11351. The keyboard is backlit with shallow travel. The action is firm and bottoms out clean. They're well spaced and there are 3 levels of backlighting (off, low, High). It's about 65% and the only negative is the up/down arrows are about half-size which can be a little frustrating depending on what you're software you're working with. The 14" OLED panel is a distinct advantage over a traditional IPS. There are true black levels, infinite contrast, 95% DCI-P3 coverage, HDR and a .2ms response time. There's also a 16:10 aspect ration. It's 1920 x 1200 (about 161ppi) that's sharp enough. I would say the only weakness is the 300 nits brightness, but if you're indoors or not in the direct sun I found it plenty bright. There are also reflections that are typical of a glossy OLED panel that can be distracting depending on the room. The touchscreen is responsive and useful for scrolling, photos, and general Windows navigation. The trackpad is large, centered and accurate with Windows. It has a smooth glass surface and seems responsive to touch gestures. Although this processor is not at the top of the Snapdragon stack, it seemed very zippy and it tested well. The single-core is what you feel when you open apps, scrolling, productivity workflows, and switching tabs. The Adreno GPU is good for entry level integrated graphics. It handles video playback, video conferencing effects, basic photo editing and standard productivity apps very well. As far as cooling, it's one of its strengths. The chip does not draw much power so it runs silent a lot. It was essentially silent during productivity tasks, web browsing and video calls. I felt a little bit of heat on the keyboard but nothing uncomfortable. The battery is 59Wh and it's rated for 34 hours. This is with really conservative use. Realistically, you will be between 15-25 hours with normal use. Still that's top tier battery life for any laptop. Also the HP Fast charge gets you from 0 to 50% in about 30 minutes from the 65 Watt GaN brick. The efficiency comes from the CPU's low draw and the OLED helps by consuming less power on dark content (blacks.) The audio lacks bass but it gets loud and is definitely adequate for movies and music. I would recommend headphones for a more dynamic sound. For video conferencing there is advanced AI Noise reduction that tracks only your voice during conference calls and this seems to work great in my work meetings. - Pros/Cons - *Pros* * Exceptional battery life * Beautiful 16:10 OLED display * Low standby drain, only 5% in about 24 hrs for me * Quiet and cool * Strong native ARM app ecoysystem * You can open the lid with one finger * Full HD IR Webcam with privacy shutter * Thin and Light (Under 3 lbs) * AI NPU & Windows Hello *Suggestions/Needs Improvement* * Display is only 300 nits (Great for Indoors, Might be a little dim for outside sunny days) * No SD Card Reader * Soldered RAM (In my opinion 16GB is more than enough for all of my tasks) * WiFi 6e (not 7 but still speedy) The HP OmniBook X 14" OLED is a great value in the Ultra Portable laptop market. It's great for students and office professionals. If you are using productivity software, browsing the web, streaming video content, video conferencing, or even need to work all day without plugging in, this laptop is perfect for you. It's also good for light creativity work as well. In my opinion the OLED and battery life are two exceptional features. I recommend it.

This isn’t my first time with Windows on ARM. I had a Surface Pro X, so I’ve already lived through the early days when half the experience felt unfinished. The OmniBook X feels like the platform finally figured itself out. Setup Setup was quick. Windows handled updates, Wi‑Fi, and app installs without any issues. No ARM‑specific weirdness like I’ve had in the past. The charger is super small and almost looks like a phone charger. Design The OmniBook X looks clean and feels solid. Sure, it’s a boring gray color, but not turning heads might be a pro and not a con. It’s thin, light, and easy to carry. The build quality feels premium without trying to show off. The keyboard is comfortable with good spacing and travel—easy to type on for long stretches. The touchpad is large, smooth, and accurate. Nothing that stands out as amazing, but also nothing is a deal breaker here, like a weird key layout or awful touchpad. Performance The Snapdragon X Plus handles everyday tasks really well paired with 16GB of RAM. Browsing, writing, streaming, and multitasking all feel smooth. I’ve run dozens of browser windows simultaneously and had no issues with performance. It stays cool and quiet too—to the point where I’m not sure if this thing has a fan or not (I can’t find anything on HP’s website). App compatibility is much better now too. Most apps run without any trouble. If you rely on something niche, you might hit emulation, but the overall experience is far more stable and fast than the early ARM days. You get 16GB of RAM and a 512GB NVMe drive, which is plenty for this kind of machine. Ports are pretty limited though: two USB‑C ports and one USB‑A port is all you get, and you’ll be using one of those USB‑C ports for your charger—which is adorably small, by the way. If you need older ports or external displays, you’ll want a dock or hub. Display The 14‑inch 2K OLED touchscreen is incredible. It’s bright, colorful, and sharp with deep blacks. Everything looks good on it—videos, photos, even basic browsing. The funny part is you forget it’s a touchscreen at all because the panel looks that clean and the touch layer doesn’t add any haze or blur like you’d expect. Battery Life The battery life is ridiculous. This thing can push past 30 hours depending on what you’re doing. Even with mixed use, it feels like it just doesn’t die. This is the kind of battery life the Surface Pro X promised but never delivered on. Overall The HP OmniBook X 14 OLED feels like the first Windows on ARM laptop that doesn’t need excuses. It’s lightweight, well‑built, and has a fantastic 2K OLED screen with battery life that borders on absurd. Performance is solid for everyday work, and the whole experience feels polished and premium—even on Windows 11. And while the OmniBook X doesn’t feel quite as refined or effortlessly cool as a MacBook Neo or Air, it nails what matters: a quiet, long‑lasting Windows ultraportable with a gorgeous display and none of the early ARM headaches. It's an easy recommendation.

This is has got to be one of the best portable laptop I've ever owned. It checks all the boxes that I think is really important for my real world use. It is very light weight but feels super sturdy with a premium feel to all the materials. Keyboard has a very satisfying tactile feel to it and is spaced out perfectly for me. My palms rest comfortable on the pc but maybe I just got lucky and the build fits my hands. Trackpad felt good and had ample space to move. Speaker volume was ok, but nothing really to be impressed with. Touchscreen was super responsive and smooth with no miss presses, even with my big fingers. LOL. But where this laptop really shines in my opinion is the battery life and the oled screen. Maybe because this is the first oled laptop I've owned, I was so impressed at how the screen looked. Videos were so vibrant and crisp. The battery lasted most the day for me with heavy use but when I needed to charge it, it charged quickly. The only thing I can critique about this laptop is really the lack of ports. A couple of usb-c and 1 usb-a. Also I think a headphone port but I didn't use that. Also, this is definitely a gaming laptop but really light gaming might work. All the program and multi-tasking I used worked like a breeze with this laptop. Really happy with it.

I’ve been using the HP OmniBook X, with the Snapdragon X Plus processor, and it feels like one of those laptops that just gets the basics right. The chassis is slim and light but still feels quality. It has some flex to it, but nothing crazy. The hinge and lid have a solid, premium feel, and the overall design is clean and professional. The Snapdragon X Plus CPU keeps things snappy for everyday work, lots of browser tabs, Office, all while staying cool and quiet. The big benefit is efficiency. You get an 8 core CPU plus a 45 TOPS NPU for running local AI features. I hadn’t used the Microsoft Store AI Hub before, but it’s a cool way to get some local apps installed to harness the AI power of the NPU. That means you can leverage Windows Studio Effects and Perplexity without crushing your battery. HP claims up to 34 hours of battery life. I was seeing about 50% battery life after 12 hours of use, over roughly the span of 3 days. I’m thinking a charge every 4 or 5 days isn’t a bad setup! That is the kind of endurance that changes how you use a laptop. Ports are light but considering the laptop class and the slim design, not too shabby. You’ll get two USB C (one USB4 40Gbps, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps) with Power Delivery and DisplayPort 1.4, plus one USB A and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Overall, it’s a super satisfying, polished machine.

This HP Omnibook X seems to be a perfect laptop in all aspects for anyone who needs it for regular browsing, videos, music, learning, video calls, documentations and regular day to day work. This may not meant to be a work-horse or for gaming purposes, but for a student or a day to day casual use, this is undoubtedly a perfect choice. The biggest advantage is undoubtedly the long battery which lasts easily over 14 hours of regular use of video conference calls, watching videos, listening to music, web browsing, documentations and some casual online gaming (not the high graphic games). The snapdragon X Plus processor offers a perfect balance between processing speed and battery life where there is absolutely no lag even with the extended battery life. The 16GB RAM and the 512GB SSD, compliments the processor for this lag free elevated performance. The 512 GB SSD may not be a plenty, but getting a supplementary 2TB SSD, to store photos and videos, is the easiest answer, if required. The 65W included charger is one of the smallest lightweight travel friendly chargers. It charges at a great speed, charging from 20% to 100% in less than 2 hours. Equally great is the stunning display that this laptop offers, thanks to the 2K OLED touchscreen. The crisp visuals and rich colors are undoubtedly a prominent feature of this laptop. The 300 nits display is plenty sufficient and I am using it at about 60% in day time. The overall build made of aluminum gives a premium feel to the laptop. The Meteor Silver color elevates the look to a different level. The keyboard feels fantastic and the backlit feature is super helpful to type in the dark. The track pad is of a supreme quality where we can feel the clicks properly. The speaker is placed in the bottom and is super loud. But, it’s slightly muffled when the laptop is on the bed or pillow or on the lap. But on a solid surface like a table or a lap desk, it’s perfectly fine. The laptop has 2 USB-C ports, unfortunately both at the same (left) side; both of which supports charging and display output. There is no HDMI port, so we need a USB-C to HDMI convertor or a USB-C hub or a dock. However, plenty of monitors already have built in USB-C input video support. At the right side are the USB-A and 3.5mm ports. The webcam is 1080p and comes with a privacy shutter. The microphone is top quality and during the video calls, the other side can hear me properly even when I am further away from the laptop. The Wi-Fi 6E and the Bluetooth connectivity are good and have no issues. Setup is pretty straight forward. And it’s always great to have the Windows AI Co-pilot. The only downside is not having a fingerprint reader. Although this has a face recognition which works pretty well, but in dark conditions or when turning on the laptop when not in a seated position, fingerprint reader is always convenient. Except for this one little downside, I only have great things to say about this laptop. At less than 3 pounds, this is one of the light weight laptop and when coupled with an extremely light weight charger makes this is a perfect travel companion. This is one of the best laptops without a doubt at this price range and I am extremely pleased with this laptop and am more than happy to recommend it.

I am not a stranger to Windows on ARM and Snapdragon processors. I have owned several generations of Surface Pro devices, but this is the first HP laptop that I have tested running Windows on ARM and I like what I see and feel from this software and hardware combination. All the boxes are checked for my needs. I don’t game. I use laptops mostly for work and entertainment. There are plenty of ARM native apps available now, including the whole Microsoft Office Suite. I was able to boot up this machine and update Windows as needed in just a few minutes. I did have to hunt for and download Outlook Classic as I don’t go for the newer Outlook that Microsoft offers by default. The lighted keyboard is comfortable to type on and I get good speed from my sometimes less than nimble fingers. The 2K OLED touchscreen panel is fine for my needs, and I appreciate the 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The NVMe M.2 SSD is Gen4 and plenty fast. I have had no problem running this rig for a full day without depleting the battery. The Snapdragon X Plus processor has been quite efficient. The Meteor Silver laptop is attractive and light. It weighs less than three pounds. The screen does not fold back into a tablet mode, but I have seldom used that feature on laptops when it has been available. The 1920 X 1080 screen seems very bright to me, causing me to question whether the 300 nit brightness rating is overly conservative. Subjectively, this panel is as bright or brighter than several other 14 inchers that I currently have access to that have higher brightness specifications. The two USB-ports are complimented by a USB-A jack and thank goodness, a combination headphone/microphone jack. The compact and attractive wall charger brought a depleted battery up to a full charge within the 30-minute specification. Wi-Fi 6E (2x2) and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless connectivity. The webcam offers excellent performance in normal lighting and even allows a Windows Hello login in virtual darkness, although I did put my face right in front of the screen to accomplish that. I am playing with the AI features and trying to test their capabilities. I am not quite past the “enjoyable toy” stage, but I am working on it. I would recommend this rig to anyone with usage patterns like mine. It’s attractive, light, battery sipping and efficient. It just works.

There is an incredible amount of competition in the space this HP laptop occupies. There definitely things it does that puts it above it’s competitors but it also has some choices that hurt it from truly reaching the heights it can go. Let’s start with all the positives, the design of the laptop is pretty solid compared to most of the other laptops it has a solid structure made with a mix of metal and plastic, it’s very sturdy and the screen opens up pretty easily with one hand. The screen is gorgeous it looks incredibly good but it has one drawback that does it hurt a bit more than I expected a that is resolution. It’s states 2k but it’s not much higher than 1080 being 1920 x 1200 it’s not the worse thing but it’s noticeable and some other laptops I have used have a bit higher resolution and it definitely is noticeable. The colors are great on the OLED screen and watching movies is a joy. The brightness is decent but struggles when any direct light is around. I tried using it at desk that has a window behind it and it was pretty rough with glare. The pc is running on the snapdragon cpu and it is great for light work task such as email, web browsing, watching videos.the battery life I s really great when doing these sort of task trying to do heavier duty ones its starts to struggle a bit . Playing any games is tough even at lowest settings and 1080p could keep a consistent cremate on Fortnite, and doing some photo editing it would work but was a bit of a chore to use. All in all the laptop is very solid for its price a lot of competitors really don’t match up at this price, they cut too many features to get there. There is one big competitor that does a lot of things well and makes it harder to let some of these flea go unnoticed. But if you need something for light work and watching media with its great screen and long battery life this a great laptop

HP went and made an ARM version of their Omnibook and it is different; this would be comparable to the Macbook “M” series of devices. If you have owned or used a HP laptop then you should have an idea of what to expect here the experience is no different it would just be the hardware. Now it is worth mentioning that the ARM architecture has improved since its first release. There is more app compatibility and the devices have become more efficient with each update. Of course that would be on the Windows OS side of things. The Omnibook has a premium metal body and it feels good in the hands and has a nice weight to it. It is not hefty, nor it is too light. It has small bars underneath that allow for airflow. I like that this has a camera shutter unlike most competing brands of devices. Another plus would be a full-sized type A USB port on the right side along with a headphone jack. It would have been nice for there to be built in card reader. The keyboard has a really nice feel; the keys are spaced apart just enough and aren’t squishy they have a nice tactile feel to it. The trackpad is large and responsive and is gesture ready if you are into that. Left and right click feels good and not cheap. The screen is OLED and it looks wonderful, I have a nice background and it makes the device look so much better than a traditional LCD panel. Battery life is advertised as up to 34 hours but I have not reached that, a typical day for me would be Spotify podcast or music and web browsing and work. I am able to get a full work day with my Omnibook. I use the Microsoft office suite of apps primarily Excel & Outlook and Word along with scheduling software. Thankfully the software isn’t too demanding and doesn’t take a big hit to my battery life. I would say with my use I can get around close to 20 hours before having to grab my charger and that is with brightness set to 30% and volume 28% and the keyboard backlight off. Overall this is a solid device that works well for me and does everything I need and want. It offers solid battery life, an awesome OLED screen in a 14inch sized device. I personally like ARM powered Windows devices and look forward to what it evolves into over time.

Long battery life and fast charging, light weight, beautiful screen and great keyboard. I purchased this laptop for reading emails and presenting Powerpoint presentations. The Snapdragon X Plus processor had no trouble with embedded videos. One thing to note is that there is no HDMI port, so you'll need a hub with a USB-C connection. The laptop also has one USB-A port.

First is an HP and very light. Easy to use and to carry with me, thinking that I am almost 80 years old. I can easily carry it with me when I am traveling . I can sit in ay place, in a cafeteria or in the mall, at my porch, kitchen and even at my bed. I can see very well my Email, my documents and pictures. I can use my google account as well as my Yahoo, very easy. I have all the programs I had in my old PC and many more. Additionally it has a lot of memory, so I don't worry about not having enough storage space for my documents or pictures.

This laptop has good specs, a sturdy build, an amazing keyboard, and excellent battery life. However, some apps must be installed outside the Microsoft Store because they require the 32-bit version. The biggest issue is the BIOS clock contantly displaying the wrong time, which appears to be a manufacturer defect since I encountered it on two brand-new units, and neither HP customer support nor Best Buy Geek Squad could fix it. As a result, the Windows clock is incorrect at startup and takes some time to synchronize and correct itself. Had it not been for the clock issue, I would have been very happy with the laptop.

I really like this laptop. Its very smooth and light and the quality of the screen is good. It is touch screen but i wish it had more usb ports and such. I also wish the screen bent back but overall its great!

I am reviewing HP’s newest Laptop, the OmniBook X, there’s plenty to like here, read on: Screen: You get a 14” 2k resolution OLED touchscreen. The resolution is perfect for something this size, crystal clear quality, and the OLED just puts the screen over the top. It is bright, very colorful, very clear, and on top of all that it is a touchscreen?! Perfect choice for a laptop if you ask me. RAM: 16GB, Thats enough to run any program to help any program or multiple programs run smoothly. At this day and age, nobody should be buying laptops with less than 16GB if they can help it. With 16GB you are future proofing your investment for at least a few years. Processor: Features Snapdragon X Plus, a midtier processor, it’s not the best, but it’s not entry level either. From what I’ve seen it’s pretty fast and snappy. Able to handle pretty much any application. Video editing, program etc. Storage: 512GB: As far as storage goes, 512GB is not terrible but eventually, you will run out. If you’re just going to do Web browsing and checking your email and downloading a few things here and there, then this amount of memory is more than enough to last you for a long time. If you’re planning on downloading high resolution, videos, and photos and some games, then yes you’re going to run out pretty quickly. GPU: Qualcomm Adreno, i’m not too familiar with this particular graphics processing unit, but from what I’ve seen it’s very capable to run any program and will even play a some non-graphic intensive games. Misc: features 2 USB-C ports, NO HDMI, you’re going to need a readily available and affordable dongle if you need to use HDMI. 1 USB-A port, 3.5mm audio jack, built in speakers, Windows 11 Home, front facing web cam, backlit keyboard, windows AI Copilot, long lasting battery. Fully loaded. In Conclusion: Overall, this is a very fast very capable, midtier laptop. It is not a gaming laptop, but you can pretty much do anything else on it. Perfect for a work laptop. I like the sleek look and feel, it feels very “premium” when you hold it.

The computer is very nice. The OLED screen makes all movies, videos, etc. really jump out. Sound is okay for small speakers, do not expect to fill a room. Keyboard is backlit, has good travel and feels good to type on. Touch pad also performs well, and is quite generous in size for a 14" laptop. The Snapdragon processor is quite capable, performing everyday tasks - and even light games - depending on settings. But it is not power hungry, I can easily get 8 or more hours, with about 70% brightness. The 16Gb ram does not choke on everyday tasks. Get rid of all the "bloatware" - including Microsoft junk, and this thing just zips along. A bit pricey at full price, but on sale, is a good choice.

I was in the market for a reliable laptop, durable, with a long battery life. I spoke with some IT professionals I knew personally who explicitly recommended this model and a HP. I did thorough research before making this purchase. While the initial cost was a bit higher than other brands, I quickly came to discover that those other brands were known for their lack of quality, and short life expectancy. Very happy with this purchase. I noticed three weeks later it was on sale for $50 cheaper than I paid for it, so I contacted Best Buy via a quick online chat and was instantly refunded the difference. Highly recommend this model/brand and purchasing from Best Buy for these reasons.

My son needed a new laptop as he starts his college education. He wanted a 14" size laptop with at least 16GB memory and 512GB SSD. We went to Best Buy and this HP OmniBook X is usually priced at $1,099 but since it was their "Black Friday in July" sale it was only $699. With a 2K OLED Touchscreen and the discounted price, it was a no brainer to purchase. My son has been using the new laptop daily and it is working great. Thanks Best Buy for having this on sale!

This laptop has some impressive features, but it also has some cut corners, so I honestly wasn’t sure how to categorize it. With an OLED screen and amazing battery life, it could be excellent for a creative student or even simply watching videos on the go with a top-notch screen. On the other hand, the processor—while very capable—is nothing to write home about, and the build quality leaves room for improvement. It’s an unusual set of features and tradeoffs, which might make it perfect for certain uses, but it also makes it hard to compare to average laptops. The best feature I was expecting from this laptop is the OLED screen. Perfectly crisp colors and the blackest blacks are usually something only seen in the highest end laptops—but here is one for under $1000. Unless you’ve seen a nice bright OLED display like this, it’s hard to describe. It’s light years better than any LCD display on the market. Since I was expecting a level of perfection, I was surprised to see that the display has color distortion that’s visible to my casual eye even as little as 10 degrees off of normal viewing angle. There’s a loss of brightness at greater angles as well. Many cheaper OLED displays have the same issue, but I’ve never seen it this noticeable. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still better than an LCD display, but I was surprised that it wasn’t even better. The other truly impressive feature of this laptop is the battery life. HP estimates 35 hours under average use. Over the past week I’ve been in a few online meetings and (if the battery meter is to be trusted) I estimate a full charge would yield 17-20 hours of video conferencing. Simply watching videos is probably going to give even more hours. This is definitely far better than an average budget laptop. Which leads me to the overall performance of the laptop. The Snapdragon processor is very capable, and it’s the reason the battery life is so impressive. You get good performance without the CPU spewing heat and having to spin high-flow fans. Cool quiet performance is more pleasant as well as more efficient. Some people may be turned away since this is not a beefy AMD or Intel processor, but I can say that it is entirely performant for 90% of daily use cases. Web browsing and office tasks are at least as fast as a comparable laptop with another modern processor. The only place it might suffer is with specialized apps that require a specific hardware architecture and/or graphics chipset. But I didn’t run into any issues with basic everyday use. Finally, the build quality. The laptop looks lovely. It’s a little heavier than I expected, which would lead me to think that it’s built to be durable and solid, but I couldn’t help but notice that the case flexes significantly in certain places even under moderate pressure. The entire chassis flexes down when I press keys in the top center of the keyboard. The screen bezel distorts its shape more than expected if I lift it up from a corner instead of the middle. None of this feels like it’s about to break, but it does feel more like a plastic frame even though it’s got the weight of a metal frame. On the plus side, they did a great job with the location of the built-in speakers and even a full-sized USB-A port (if you ever need one). Overall, I have to say that this feels like a decent entry-level laptop with a major screen and battery upgrade. The question for the prospective buyer is whether these upgrades are worth the added price. If you spend a lot of time on the go and need excellent visuals, it’s probably the perfect choice.

Fantastic laptop! Very lightweight and the battery life is incredible!! This thing is a powerhouse!! If you need a laptop to handle family needs, this is the one for you!
