HP OmniBook 5 14 review

HP OmniBook 5 14 is the newest laptop on this list and the battery leader. HP's October 1, 2026 release lists up to an Intel Core 7 processor with an integrated NPU, up to 42 hours of local video playback, and up to a 2.5K OLED touch display with 100% DCI-P3 coverage and up to 620 nits. The body is aluminum, 11.77 mm thin and 1.16 kg, with a 180 degree hinge, two full-function USB-C ports and a compact 65W GaN charger. An FHD IR camera supports Windows Hello, and the audio is tuned by Poly Studio. The catch is that most of those numbers are top-end figures. HP gives a $699.99 starting price, but the release does not say which processor or screen the base model ships with, so check the configuration before you buy. Video playback ratings also run longer than mixed web use. If you need HDMI or USB-A, the ASUS Zenbook 14 lists both.
