HP OmniBook Ultra 14

Overview

The OmniBook Ultra stands as one of the more compelling premium ultrabooks of the year. It combines a lightweight form factor with strong hardware and some of the longevity I've tested on a Windows laptop. Admittedly, there are a few things that I didn't really like about this device, but the experience was largely positive.

HP hits a homerun on performance with the OmniBook Ultra, but go easy on memory/storage allotments to keep pricing in check.

The HP Omnibook Ultra 14 is a luxurious portable laptop that provides solid portability alongside surprisingly excellent performance.

If I had $2,000 to spend on an everyday, do-it-all Windows laptop, HP's flagship OmniBook Ultra 14 would be the pick. Specifically, the Qualcomm Snapdragon X2-based model. HP offers both Intel and Qualcomm options, and I tested both. With better overall performance and longer battery life, the Snapdragon X2 Elite model is the winner of the two, unless you know you'll run into Windows-on-Arm compatibility issues.

The HP OmniBook Ultra is the flagship that carries that weight. But does changing a name fix the age-old battle between power and portability? After spending two weeks with the OmniBook Ultra, the verdict is clear: This machine delivers on its promise of Style, Speed, and Substance .

Ignoring the pricing and availability issues as we must, the HP OmniBook Ultra is a terrific laptop for just about anyone. But it’s ideally suited for those who prize performance, style, and uptime, and should meet the needs of any productivity worker, creator, gamer, or developer.
