HP - OmniBook X - 14" 2K OLED Touchscreen Laptop - Snapdragon X Plus (2025) - 16GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Copilot+ PC - Meteor Silver

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.

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 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.
