Hp Unveils Oled Omnibook 5 Starting Around $699
HP’s new OmniBook 5 pairs an OLED display with a lightweight design, though reports differ on which screen options will be available at launch.
HP has unveiled the OmniBook 5 14, a lightweight Windows laptop with an OLED display across its range. The Verge reports a starting price of $699.99, while Engadget rounds it to $699. Both outlets say the laptop is expected to go on sale in October, but neither gives a specific date.

OLED at the entry-level price
According to The Verge, the base model has an Intel Core 5 315 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. Buyers will be able to choose from silver, pink, blue and green. More expensive configurations can include up to an Intel Core 7 350 processor, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD.
The OLED screen is the main feature distinguishing the OmniBook 5 from other laptops at this price. The reports differ, however, on the display options available at launch. Engadget describes a 2.5K touchscreen with a hinge that opens 180 degrees. The Verge says the base model instead has a non-touch 1920 x 1200 OLED panel with a maximum brightness of 300 nits. It reports that a touchscreen option will arrive at the October launch, while a higher-resolution 2560 x 1600 OLED option rated at 400 nits will not arrive until March 2027.
Portable design and battery claim
The OmniBook 5 starts at about 2.56 pounds and is roughly 11.7mm thick, according to The Verge, which says that makes it slightly lighter and thinner than Apple’s MacBook Neo. Engadget reports a thickness of 11.77mm and a weight of just over 2.5 pounds. Both outlets frame the HP laptop as a rival to the Neo.
Engadget says HP claims battery life of up to 42 hours on a charge, based on local video playback tests. That figure may not reflect more demanding use: Engadget notes that CPU-intensive software is likely to drain the battery faster, while The Verge says real-world testing is still needed.
For connections, The Verge lists two 10Gbps USB-C ports, HDMI and a 3.5mm audio jack. It also reports a 1080p webcam and dual speakers; Engadget describes the camera as an FHD IR model and notes a pair of microphones. Engadget says the laptop includes an integrated NPU for AI features, but neither report provides performance results for the new machine.
