It never rains, but it pours. It seems like every major PC manufacturer is on board with Microsoft and Qualcomm’s push for Arm-based laptops, and HP is no exception. The first two models, coming as soon as next month, are the OmniBook X and the EliteBook Ultra. Both are rocking the ubiquitous Snapdragon X Elite 12-core CPU.

The Omnibook X is a 14-inch model with a 2240×1400 IPS touchscreen, double USB-C ports and USB-A just to keep you covered. The webcam is surprisingly hi-res at five megapixels, complete with infrared for Windows Hello, and there’s an option for a Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 upgrade (though 6E and 5.3 are standard). RAM starts at 16GB of DDR5 with an optional 32GB upgrade, and storage comes in a similarly variable 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB Gen4 SSD.

The company says that the OmniBook X’s 3-cell, 59 watt-hour battery can handle over 26 hours of local video playback. But it also says you’re more likely to get 22 hours if that’s Netflix streaming and “just” 12 hours of use if you’re on a truly marathon Microsoft Teams call.
All together these point to impressive, but not mind-blowing, longevity. Combined with a 2.97-pound weight and .57-inch chassis, it looks like a pretty sleek little number. The OmniBook X will go on sale next month for a base price of $1,099.

(“Elite” and “Ultra” in the same laptop name, gee-golly-gosh). This 14-inch design is considerably sleeker as it tapers down to just .33 inches thick at the front, though the rear is more typical at .56 inches, and the weight is 2.97 pounds. The display is the same 2240×1400 resolution with touch.
