A fortnight with HP’s 14-inch OmniBook X

HP’s 14-inch OmniBook X is the first Windows laptop to grace this desk in more than a decade that doesn’t have an Intel Inside sticker. In its place, a Snapdragon X Elite badge sits a few millimetres south of a screen-printed “AI” logo.

These insignia make it clear Omnibook X is not a business-as-usual laptop. At least not on the inside: The outside is very much business as usual.

It resembles every other modern ultrabook design. Remove the badges and you wouldn’t know it is special

Omnibook...
