HP OmniBook Ultra 14 Delivers Nearly 24-Hour Battery Life Starting at $1,200

Summary
Just under 24 hours of battery life stood out most in ZDNET's test of HP's new OmniBook Ultra 14, which the review recommends as a premium work laptop for professionals and power users.
A Snapdragon X2 Elite review unit with 64GB of RAM handled heavy multitasking smoothly and beat the M5 MacBook Pro in Geekbench 6 processor tests, though multicore scores dropped in longer stress runs as thermals built up.
At 10.7mm thick and under 3 pounds, the laptop pairs a recycled aluminum chassis with a 3K OLED touchscreen, but the glossy panel becomes hard to use outdoors and the 5MP webcam was judged only average.
HP prices the base Intel Core model at about $1,200, while the higher-end review configuration came to roughly $2,910; ZDNET said Snapdragon versions are the better pick for maximum battery life.
