Awesome computer! But, I had trouble with Microsoft updates so I had to return it. I'm thinking the Snapdragon chip must have been the reason for the glitch. Its Microsoft's fault. Is it asking too much to want my new computer to work after a Microsoft update? I had no choice but to return this awesome machine.

It's a great OmniBook, color is beautiful, but it's not what I wanted it, I wanted a PC that can read SD camera cards and this one only plays the sound but no picture.

Great laptop for my needs. Fast and reliable. Recommend.

Fast and reliable laptop. Exactly what I was looking for

Good device for a college student that doesn’t do any heavy load things like video editing, or photoshop

Got this laptop for an amazing deal, and it’s just beautiful.

Great product for a reasonable price. Replacing a ten year old laptop.

Very good computer, love the touch screen!! Great transition from window to window.

Easy to use with very good price. Very good resolutions.

It’s very slender and easy to transport. Compared to my work laptop, this computer is way better!!!!

The laptop started off great with setup but a couple of days later the touch screen was not as responsive. Then the screen kept going in and out. So I end up returning.

The OmniBook 5 is an impressive lightweight laptop. The small foot print makes it great for travel, student or off site work. The OmniBook feels great, not cheap like lesser models of other brands, it is very durable, the keyboard feels perfect, and each key has a positive feedback so you have positive results for each key press. The only thing that I wish was an option was a backlit keyboard. The dark keys in a dark room are sometimes too dark. Backlighting would solve this. The Snapdragon processor with 16 gigs of ram really impressed me. The response time for everything I threw at it was perfect. The 512 MB storage is sufficient, I would however add a thumb drive or USB drive to back up all important files. The Omni has 2 USB C and 1 drop jaw USB A port. Boot time from off till login was less than 20 seconds. The touch screen and oversized track pad are a perfect match to go back and forth from. Especially when viewing pictures on the OLED screen. I like to be able to zoom on the touch screen. I loaned my laptop to my daughter for a day when hers was down. She took it to her campus and throughout 4 classes. Took notes, viewed PDFs and videos. She said it was perfect. Now she wants the same model. She also noted that in a quiet classroom the noise from typing was nonexistent. The battery icon was still at full when she came back home. The Battery is indeed very impressive. Up to 20 plus hours. This laptop is perfect for the student, small office or frequent traveler. If you are looking for a gamer laptop or editing photo/videos. I would look for a higher end model. The OS Windows 11 with copilot was quite nice. I went down the rabbit hole for a few hours playing and learning about AI and playing with it. Making tons of AI pics that were hilarious. The camera is sufficient at 1080P as are the built in mics for zoom calls, or face recognition for logging in. The speakers are very nice and sufficient. I would recommend this to family and friends.

Not sure about this as of yet. It sometime appears to be slow to load, it is weird as it is twice the computer I had before.

Beautiful laptop, but it kept freezing up. Nothing would work. No cursor, or any keys (CTRL+ALT+DEL) didn't work. Had to force a shut down all the time. Returned it.

This laptop has unbelievable battery life, compared to any other laptop I've used for as long as I can remember. The onboard Snapdragon processor is simply a battery life beast, giving you the full Windows experience while sipping on small amounts of power. The chip isn't too bad at handling basic use computer tasks, either - using MS Office applications, browsing the web, and listening to music or watching video are accomplished with no snags or slowdown whatsoever. Boot times and downloading speeds are also reasonably quick. In short, if you just need a computer to do the run of the mill things that we use computers for, you will think this is an excellent machine and well worth the purchase. I did experience some issues with code editing and execution in an IDE compared to my experiences running similar code on an Intel or AMD machine, but if this isn't something you'll be doing (beyond maybe an elementary level), you'll never experience such hiccups. Other than that, the build quality is excellent and the screen is sharp and bright, with vivid colors to boot. And it's a touchscreen! If you hate the trackpad or don't have a mouse handy, you can always just reach out and use your finger to keep things moving. The speakers also pretty decent, but I didn't have too many opportunities to test them at really loud volumes. For regular use, they're more than adequate. Physically, in terms of the parts and build, it's hard to find fault with this machine, though you could say that the laptop could use a few more ports (especially USB A ports for those of us still holding on to old equipment). This is the perfect laptop to get either a student or a person who just needs a computer for personal use. It's affordable, built really well, is easy to use, and has amazing battery life. The only cautionary note is that you can expect some kinds of difficulty with certain programs trying to run off an ARM processor, but those won't be the kinds of programs regular users will spend a lot of time with (if any at all). I wouldn't recommend this for gaming or video and audio production, nor would I for application development (i.e. programming), but for everyone else, including even business use, this computer is a solid choice. I'm looking forward to future Snapdragon-powered laptops after my experience with this machine.

Screen was bit smaller than anticipated but clarity was nice.

I picked the HP OmniBook laptop mainly because I wanted a lightweight Windows laptop with strong AI features, excellent battery life, and good value compared to other premium ultrabooks. I compared it against the competitor models, but the OmniBook 5 stood out for its battery life claim, OLED display, and the added HP AI Companion, which is unique to this model. Fit & Design: The laptop is thin and light (2.9 lbs), making it very portable for daily use. The silver finish feels premium, not cheap. Ports are well thought out with 2 USB-C and 1 USB-A, which means I don’t need a dongle for basic use. Display & Color: The 14" 2K OLED screen is beautiful—colors are vivid, blacks are deep, and text looks sharp. It’s a big step up from standard LCDs in this price range. Glacier Silver looks professional and modern, though it would be nice to see more color options. Performance & Compatibility: The Snapdragon X Plus chip with 16GB RAM handles multitasking very well. All my everyday apps (Office, Chrome, Teams) run smoothly. However, since this is an ARM-based processor, some specialized software may not work without emulation. It’s fine for students, professionals, and content consumers, but developers should double-check compatibility. AI Features: The built-in Copilot+ features are fun and genuinely useful in certain cases. The HP AI Companion is a nice bonus and it helps summarize docs and answer questions, though some processing still happens in the cloud. Battery Life: This is where it really shines. In my use (web browsing, video calls, Youtube videos), it only drained 3–7% per hour. I can easily go through 2 days of light to moderate use without charging, which beats most Intel or AMD ultrabooks. Value for Money: For the specs that this laptop brings like OLED, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Copilot+ features, and excellent portability, the price feels fair. Ease of Setup: Setup was straightforward, and Windows Hello with the IR camera made login seamless. Charging via USB-C is also super convenient. Pros: Gorgeous OLED screen Extremely long battery life Lightweight and portable Useful AI tools built-in Cons: ARM compatibility may cause issues for certain apps Limited color choices (only Glacier Silver) Copilot+ features can feel confusing at first Overall, if you want a sleek, portable laptop with all-day battery and AI extras, the HP OmniBook 5 is an excellent choice. Just make sure the apps you rely on support Windows ARM, and you’ll be very happy with this device.

The camera did not function correctly. Ihad to return it to the Sacramento store and exchange it.

Having a laptop that handles everything that you need and more is always a little difficult to find especially with a battery life that will last a long time. HP Omnibook 5 has a great battery life that based off my use, I’m able to use it for normal day to day use for about two to three days without needing to charge. Your mileage will definitely vary on this though. The laptop has a great screen. I do find that the brightness might not be enough to use when the room lighting is very bright like when you use it outside. The colors though look really vibrant and alive. It’s very pleasing to the eyes. The touch capabilities are also very good and works great. It’s very responsive. The keyboard has a very chiclet feel and the font of the keyboard itself is okay but it gets the job done. The overall workload capabilities of the laptop is very good. It can handle most workloads that you give it but I wouldn’t expect it to handle any super heavy duty tasks like gaming or heavy video editing but it can definitely perform those in a lighter capacity. If you just need it to do office work and some light video and photo editing, it should more than suffice for your needs.

The HP Omnibook Ultra is an exceptionally well-designed 14-inch laptop. It's exactly the right size for travel, and I appreciate the sturdiness of the metal chassis. It feels durable enough to handle going in and out of my bag and all the inevitable jostling without complaint. In terms of performance, the machine is fast and smooth - the processer is well suited for everything I've thrown at it. The touch display is bright and responsive. For a smaller laptop, HP did a very good job with the keyboard layout, and the tactile feel is comfortable for long stretches of typing. This is a genuinely reliable workhorse for travel productivity. My primary reservation, which is becoming a familiar theme with this new generation of PCs, is the focus on integrated AI. I use large language models regularly, so I'm not an AI skeptic, but the Copilot+ workflow feels somewhat bloated. The machine has impressive NPU power, but I haven't found a compelling reason to integrate all these features into my existing tasks. A copilot shouldn't be nudging your elbow when the flight is going according to plan, and I often feel like the AI is trying to invent tasks for itself rather than seamlessly assist with mine. Despite feeling like I'm leaving some AI potential on the table, the Omnibook Ultra is an outstanding piece of hardware. If you need a powerful, highly portable laptop that gets the core user experience details right (like the keyboard and screen), this one is easy to recommend.
