HP is giving a much-needed power-up to its OmniBook 5 Series laptop lineup.
As part of Computex 2025, HP debuted the laptops equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X and X Plus chips for better energy efficiency and performance.
The 14-inch version of the new OmniBook 5 Series starts at $799, while the 16-inch variation costs at least $849.
Previously, if you wanted the benefits of a Snapdragon chip in an HP laptop, you were stuck with the more expensive OmniBook X options that retail for at least $1,000.
Now, there are more affordable options from HP that still have the benefits of ARM processors.
HP’s OmniBook 5 Series laptop lineup is getting a much-needed boost. HP unveiled laptops with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X and X Plus chips for improved performance and energy efficiency at Computex 2025. The price of the 16-inch model of the new OmniBook 5 Series is at least $849, while the 14-inch model starts at $799.
In the past, you had to choose the more costly OmniBook X models, which retail for at least $1,000, if you wanted an HP laptop with a Snapdragon chip. The advantages of ARM processors are now available in more reasonably priced HP options. Even though the OmniBook X is more powerful than the OmniBook 5 series, it still has access to Copilot+’s AI features, such as Click-to-Do, Recall, and an enhanced Windows Search experience.
All of that is included in a laptop with a 2K OLED screen that has a 34-hour battery life and can be charged to 50% capacity in 30 minutes. An external 5K monitor or two 4K displays can be connected to the OmniBook 5 if the laptop’s single display is insufficient. In order to provide better sound quality and AI-powered noise reduction, HP’s latest laptops come equipped with a 1080p infrared camera and its Audio Boost 2.0 feature.
