HP’s OmniBook X 14 is a barely disguised business laptop with great battery life


Business in the front, party in the — just kidding, no parties.

Windows on Arm compatibility issues Screen brightness lacking for outdoor use Some of the worst speakers I’ve heard in a while Two-finger right-clicks are infuriatingly inconsistent Stiff hinge difficult to open with one hand AI features are still mostly marketing fluff The OmniBook X lasts me up to 15 hours of my regular workload, which includes lots of open Chrome tabs, listening to music and background Twitch streams, and taking remote meetings. Other Copilot Plus PCs, like the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x and Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge, actually have larger batteries, but the OmniBook’s 16:10 60Hz IPS LCD uses less power than their brighter and faster OLED displays (more on that in a bit).
