HP OmniBook 2026 laptop releases

In late July 2026 HP announced two developments in its OmniBook line. On July 25 the company cut the European price of its OmniBook X Flip 14 2‑in‑1 laptop by €500, bringing the cost to €1,199. Reviewers highlighted the premium metal chassis, 14‑inch 3K OLED screen, AMD Ryzen 9 CPU and 32 GB RAM, but noted a modest 60 Hz refresh rate, dimmer panel brightness and only average performance for the price.

Two days later, on July 27, HP introduced the OmniBook Ultra 14, a thin (7.3 mm) 14‑inch ultrabook aimed at professionals. The model is offered in three colors, each paired with either a Qualcomm Snapdragon or an Intel processor, and features a 3K OLED touchscreen, a quiet “latticeless” keyboard and a “waterfall” haptic touchpad. Reviewers praised its battery life and overall performance despite a high price, while noting an average webcam and the backdrop of broader RAM shortages affecting the market.

Together, these updates illustrate HP’s strategy of repositioning its premium laptop offerings through aggressive pricing and new hardware variants to attract creators and professional users amid supply‑chain pressures.
