I tested the HP Omnibook Ultra 14 for a month — it's a mighty MacBook competitor, but the price is wrong
HP’s OmniBook Ultra is a no-compromise laptop for the working professional who needs a powerful machine that can survive a full day on a single charge, and looks good in the process. Unfortunately, it has a few major drawbacks.
The HP OmniBook Ultra 14 is a premium consumer laptop that offers a sleek modern design, powerful performance, a vivid OLED display, and impressive battery life. This device is targeted towards power users and working professionals who require extreme performance, fantastic power efficiency, and portability in a portable device. The OmniBook Ultra comes in two versions, the Snapdragon X2 Plus edition priced at $1,899 and the Snapdragon X2 Elite edition, which was reviewed and costs $3,559.
The OmniBook Ultra boasts a sleek aluminum chassis with chrome detailing, a 14-inch OLED touch display, 16GB of memory, 64GB of storage, 512GB or 2TB SSD, and three USB-C ports with 40Gbps speeds. The laptop's slim profile, at just 0.42 inches thick, and its lightweight of 2.83 pounds make it highly portable and easy to carry around. The laptop's performance is stellar, capable of handling photo editing, video calls, and light word processing without any slowdowns, even when running multiple applications in the background.
However, the OmniBook Ultra does have some shortcomings. The laptop has limited connection ports, which might be a drawback for some users. Despite its strong performance and power efficiency, the device comes at a steep price, leaving some users questioning its value. Overall, while the OmniBook Ultra offers a great combination of features and performance, the price may be too high for some potential buyers.
