The Excellent HP OmniBook 5 Is $550 Off Its Retail Price Today
My favorite budget laptop, the HP OmniBook 5, has an OLED screen and gets great battery life, despite being just $750 right now.
The HP OmniBook 5 is currently available at a significant discount, priced at $750, which represents a $550 reduction from its original retail price of $1,300. This laptop boasts a sleek design with a thin profile and minimal bezels, making it as portable as the MacBook Neo. Its standout features include a stunning 14-inch OLED screen, delivering vibrant colors and a high contrast ratio that far surpass typical IPS displays.
Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus chip, this model provides long-lasting battery life comparable to Apple's MacBook. The inclusion of USB-A ports adds practicality without compromising portability. However, the laptop's touchpad falls short, lacking the smoothness and usability of higher-quality touchpads found in more premium devices.
Despite this minor inconvenience, the HP OmniBook 5 remains a top-tier choice for those seeking an affordable laptop with a premium display and robust battery performance, making it one of the best options available under $600.
