HP OmniBook laptop releases and promotions

Overview

In late July 2026, HP announced developments in its OmniBook line, beginning with a €500 price reduction on the OmniBook X Flip 14 2-in-1 in Europe, lowering its cost to €1,199. While reviewers praised its premium metal chassis and 3K OLED screen, they noted a modest 60 Hz refresh rate and middling performance for the price. On July 27, HP introduced the OmniBook Ultra 14, a 7.3 mm thin ultrabook for professionals. Available in three colors, the model pairs Qualcomm Snapdragon or Intel processors with a 3K OLED touchscreen, a “latticeless” keyboard, and a “waterfall” haptic touchpad. Reviewers highlighted its strong battery life despite a high price point and market-wide RAM shortages. By late August, HP expanded its promotional efforts with discounts across the OmniBook series. This included the OmniBook X Flip 16, a 16-inch convertible featuring an Intel Core Ultra 5-226V processor and a 2K OLED touchscreen, and the OmniBook 7 16-ay0770ng. The latter, part of a back-to-school promotion, features an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H processor, 32 GB of RAM, and a 2K anti-glare display, targeting users focused on multitasking and productivity. In early September, HP highlighted the OmniBook 5 series. During the French Days event in France, a 16-inch model with a Snapdragon X processor and 2K OLED display was offered at a promotional price of €599.99, noted for battery life reaching up to 34 hours. In Singapore, reviews of a 14-inch OmniBook 5 variant featuring an AMD Ryzen AI 5 430 processor and an OLED touchscreen emphasized its utility for students and its ultraportable weight of approximately 1.33kg. By September 9, significant discounts were reported for Copilot+ PCs equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors. In Germany, the HP OmniBook Ultra 14-kg0781ngx saw a price reduction of approximately €700, bringing its cost to €1,399.
