HP omnibook X Review: Don’t fool yourself for its basic design

In July, HP released his first laptops of energy elite Snapdragon X in India. The elitebook ultra and the omnibook x are the first co -pilot+ brand PC. They sent us the omnibook x consumer centered for review. It is claimed that it delivers up to 26 hours of battery and is included with characteristics of the NPU dedicated in the Snapdragon X Elite chipset. The laptop competes with other laptops based on snapdragon x elite available in the country, such as Dell XPS 13 (9345) and the ASUS VIVOBOOK S15 OLED.

The Omnibook X has an initial price of RS. 1,39,999, but the simple design will make you ask you why it has a price so much. However, after using the laptop for more than two weeks, I think I know the answer. Should you get this instead of Dell or Asus alternatives? Keep reading to find out.

HP omnibook X Design: Basic

• Dimensions – 312.9 mm (w) x 223.5 mm (d) x 14.4 mm (h)
• Weight – 1.34 kg
• Colors – Silver Meteor

It may seem that HP slapped an AI logo in the rear of the hinge and called it one day. However, there is more than it seems. Yes, the omnibook x seems basic and will not win any style, but does the job. It is like those BMW boring or Audi that will never disappoint you. It even has a Metallic Silver Finish BMW/Audi. The laptop is thin to only 14.4 mm and weighs approximately 1.34 kg. It obtains curved sides, a reflective HP logo in the omnibook lid and logo on the external hinge cover.

Speaking of the hinge, it is a solid piece that feels lasting. However, it also makes it difficult to open the laptop with one hand. HP states that the laptop has spent 19 mil-STD tests, which is impressive. The roofs have a 50 percent recycled aluminum, and the Keycaps keys use 50 percent recycled plastic.

There are not too many ports on the laptop, but it is more than some ultrabooks

As it is an ultrabook, the port selection is minimal. It obtains two USB Type C ports on the left side that supports the delivery of energy and displayport 1.4. The right edge houses a 3.5 mm audio connector and a USB type A port (USB 3.2 GEN1).

HP omnibook X Display: Dent

• Size and type – 14 -inch Touch LCD, 300 nits
• Resolution – 2240 x 1400 pixels, appearance ratio 16:10
• Protection – Corning Gorilla Glass NBT

Open the lid, which requires two hands, reveals the 16:10 LCD screen that offers touch support. It is not a particularly bright panel; Using it outdoors is not ideal, but it works well inside. The screen receives thin side bezels with slightly thicker bezels at the top and bottom. Another HP logo is available under the screen.

The 14 -inch screen admits the touch entrance

The Omnibook X has a decent screen compared to its competition, which offers OLED panels and a greater brightness. The panel here offers a resolution of 2.2ky a good color output, which is ideal to see its favorite programs. However, there is no HDR or high update rate here. It would have been more pleasant to have an OLED panel with greater brightness. However, there is an IPS screen advantage: longest battery duration.

HP omnibook X keyboard, touch panel, speakers and webcam

• Keyboard: full size, backlit chew
• Speakers – Dual down
• Webcam: 5 megapixels with a privacy shutter

I loved writing at the Omnibook X. It has a gum keyboard with good trip and a good feeling. The keys are wide, and there is a good separation between them. I could write on this keyboard for hours. You also get an adjustable background light, which I found was suitable at night. There is also a dedicated co -pilot key, Duh!

Moving down, you get a large trackpad with multitouch support and a soft and receptive surface. The clicks could have been better, since sometimes it was difficult for me to register a right click of two fingers.

Writing on the laptop is a pleasant experience

Upon reaching the speakers, you get two outward shot units on the front. These sound good when you have the laptop sitting on a table, but there is not much low. Nor are they very loud. HP could definitely have done it better here.

However, the webcam is good. It obtains a unit of 5 megapixels that offers a good video quality in daylight conditions. The camera also worked quite well with little light. There is also a physical privacy shutter, and the webcam admits Windows Hello and Studio Effects. HP also wraps a Poly camera application that uses AI for automatic framing and panoramic, the background effects and more.

However, Windows On ARM remains a bet, especially if you use Adobe photo editing tools. However, it is only a matter of time before all your favorite applications are compatible with the arm.

HP omnibook X Software: collected

• OS – Windows 11
• AI – Copilot+, HP AI Companion tools, Poly Studio

The software experience in the HP Omnibook X was similar to other laptops from Windows 11, but with the addition of some HP tools. In addition to the usual co -driver+ chatbot, the cooking feature in the paint application, live subtitles and the effects of Windows study for video calls, get a lot of tools with HP. All of these work quite well.

You get a lot of ia tools at omnibook x

There is the fellow HP AI, who gives access to a personal assistant. However, you must log in with an HP account to use this function. It is basically like co -driver chatbot; You can ask questions and PDF files to get summaries. You can also use it to optimize your laptop for what you need. Then there is the Poly Camera application that works in a similar way to the effects of Windows Studio, but also obtains additional features, such as the automatic frame of AI, the panorama and the reduction of the noise of AI. Again, I tried these characteristics, and they seemed to work well most of the time.

HP omnibook x Performance: Snappy when you need it

• CPU-SNAPDRAGON X ELITE X1E-78-100
• RAM – 16GB LPDDR5X 8448 MHz
• Storage – 1TB M.2 SSD
• GPU – Adreno Gpu

In terms of performance, the 12 -core Snapdragon X processor does a good job. It is agile when you need it, but it does not consume so much power as it used to do it. You can easily execute most applications, and multitasking is also very easy on the laptop. I did not notice any delay while executing multiple instances of Chrome with a couple of other applications, such as Slack and WhatsApp.

The laptop does not heat up under load

I ran a pair of reference points on the laptop to see how it goes against a couple of other laptops with Snapdragon X Elite engine, and here are the results.

All tests were executed with the CPU profile established in the best performance, and the laptop was plugged in. It should be taken into account that Dell XPS 13 (9345) has an elite chipset Snapdragon X high -end. However, the Omnibook X worked quite well in synthetic tests.

The laptop can run most applications, provided that it admits the arm. It is a portable productivity computer really good. You also get wifi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, and connectivity is also excellent. I would have liked if HP had provided more RAM, since I noticed some delays when the portable sleep computer.

As for heating, the laptop hardly heated under regular use, which involved navigating the web, transmitting 4K videos or running multiple applications. The only time he heated slightly was during the reference tests, and most of the heat was concentrated in the upper left corner of the keyboard.

HP omnibook X Battery: Goodbye battery anxiety

• Capacity – 59 Wh
• LOAD – 65W USB TYPE -C

This is the third Snapdragon X elite portable computer that I have tried, and the anxiety for the battery is really one thing of the past. You could comfortably obtain the entire battery life of the Omnibook X working day. You can also easily see your favorite programs, thanks to the less hungry LCD screen. The dream is also excellent on the laptop, since it would only drain around 5-10 percent of the maximum battery during the night. During the two weeks I had the laptop, I loaded it completely three times.

The laptop has a large admission rack at the bottom

HP provides a quick and fast 65W charger in the box, which can quickly recharge the battery. A full load took about an hour and a half.

HP omnibook x verdict

If you are looking for a non -flashy work computer with excellent battery life, light design, good keyboard and windows, then the HP Omnibook X is an excellent option. It has some inconveniences, but it is not enough not to recommend this. The screen may not be as good as competition, but the LCD panel has its advantages.

Do not let the simple design deceive you, the HP Omnibook X is a well -built Windows ultrabook that is excellent for productivity and some creativity. The alternative is Dell XPS 13 (9345) (review), which, although it costs the same, does not offer the best typing experience or similar battery life. However, if you compare it with the Asus Vivobook S15 OLED (review), then the ASUS comes out at the top.
