Summary
$2,049.99 buys HP’s first shipping OmniBook Ultra 14 with Snapdragon X2 Elite, pairing an 18-core 5.0 GHz chip with a 14-inch 3K 120Hz OLED in a 1.28kg chassis.
13 hours 27 minutes in independent testing and Geekbench 6 multi-core scores around 20,000 put it among the strongest Snapdragon X2 Windows ultraportables, with multi-core performance roughly 22% above the MacBook Air M5.
HP’s exclusive 85 TOPS NPU tops the 80 TOPS common in rival Snapdragon X2 laptops and far exceeds the 50 TOPS in the Intel version, strengthening its pitch for Copilot+ AI workloads.
A comparable Intel OmniBook configuration costs about $2,339.99—roughly $290 more—though buyers still face Windows-on-ARM app gaps, no USB-A port, and no SD card reader.
The launch makes the OmniBook Ultra 14 HP’s clearest ARM-based challenge to Apple silicon yet, even as NVIDIA-based OmniBook models are already planned for fall 2026.
