80% HP OmniBook Ultra 14 review: Turbocharged laptop with a lackluster screen
Source: It Pro
HP's most powerful AI PC certainly lives up to expectations. The machine is as well-built as you would expect if not too weighty and a bit chunky. But where it really shines is its blistering performance and lengthy battery life thanks to the AMD hardware built into it, and graphics performance approaching the MacBook Pro. It's just a huge shame, then, that it's let down by a really disappointing display. There's nothing glaringly wrong with it to the naked eye, but colors are not as accurate as other machines and it's way too dim. We are disappointed the machine wasn't built with an OLED display or even just a bright LCD screen – it would have made this laptop near-perfect and impossible not to recommend.

HP OmniBook Ultra 14 Review: The Best Of Ryzen AI In A Sleek 14” Laptop
Source: Hot Hardware
The HP OmniBook Ultra 14 is an excellent premium laptop. The build quality is superb and it runs on AMD's latest Ryzen AI 300 platform. If you are interested (or think you will be) about Copilot+ features in Windows, this is a great machine. The base model OmniBook comes with a relatively powerful Ryzen AI 9 365, but you can upgrade to the top-end Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 that we tested. Both should be speedy overall , but the HX 375 will do better in some tasks. The 14-inch display is a good size that balances productivity and portability, and the keyboard is spacious and a joy to type on, with a responsive fingerprint reader too. Although, HP's insistence on placing the power button and fingerprint scanner right next to backspace is not optimal in our opinion.

The HP OmniBook Ultra proves that good things can come in small packages. Barely bigger than a full-sized tablet, the Ryzen AI 9-backed laptop is good for general productivity, casual gaming, and even creative applications. However, with no support for Microsoft's Copilot+ yet, this feels like an unfinished product. Until the full power of the NPU is unlocked, there's nothing "AI" about this laptop. The main thing that defines this otherwise great productivity notebook is ultimately what sets it back.

HP's OmniBook Ultra 14 proves that AMD's latest Ryzen AI processors can meet and beat their Intel rivals, giving the 0.65-inch-thin laptop CPU performance more akin to that of 16-inch laptops. The HP also defeated Asus' Zenbook S 14, which had Intel's new Core Ultra 7 258V "Lunar Lake" chip. Battery life is outstanding as well, and AMD's latest integrated graphics silicon is near the top of its class, if no match for the discrete GPUs of gaming laptops. However, the OmniBook's performance is tempered by an unimpressive keyboard, limited physical connectivity, and a lackluster IPS touch panel. None of these is a deal-breaker on its own, but users who don't need the Ryzen AI's horsepower for demanding apps may tilt toward like-size alternatives like the Asus Zenbook S 14 and the Dell XPS 14. Thanks to AMD's new Ryzen AI chips, HP's OmniBook Ultra 14 delivers strong performance and great battery life in a compact package. However, it falls behind competitors in connectivity, display quality, and the typing experience.

70% HP OmniBook Ultra 14 review: a solid entry for AMD
Source: Digital Trends
The OmniBook Ultra 14 is a solid representative of HP’s newest brand. It’s well-built, offers great performance and decent battery life, and it has a great keyboard. It’s not, though, as impressive as HP’s OmniBook Ultra Flip 14, despite being priced similarly. To begin with, the OmniBook Ultra 14’s display just doesn’t impress. It’s only an OK display where so many others are great. Sure, that aids in battery life, but HP could have opted for a higher-res version that would have offered similar benefits. And the OmniBook isn’t quite as good of a thin-and-light ultrabook, which is what it’s primarily going up against.

80% HP OmniBook Ultra 14 review: Ryzen AI 300 delivers again
Source: PC World
The HP OmniBook Ultra 14 is a great computer. It’s sturdy and well put together — and, most importantly, it has an AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processor. These just have better performance and longer battery life than Intel’s Meteor Lake chips. Plus, unlike with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite-powered laptop, you don’t have to worry about compatibility concerns. Because of that, I’d happily take this over an Intel Meteor Lake-powered laptop. The base model starts at $1349, which is a reasonable price for this new hardware — and it could be quite a good price if you find it on sale. Still, it’s not for everyone. Some people will want a more beautiful OLED display, for example.

AMD Radeon 890M: The most powerful AMD iGPU as of mid 2024. It features 16 RDNA 3.5 architecture CUs (1024 unified shaders) running at up to 2,900 MHz. On average, the 890M finds itself very close to the GTX 1650 Laptop making it possible to play 2024 AAA games at 1080p with most settings set to Low.

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

Ryzen AI 9 HX 375: A powerful Strix Point family processor that launched to little fanfare in July 2024. The Ryzen AI 9 series APU comes equipped with 12 CPU cores along with the 16 CU RDNA 3.5 Radeon 890M graphics adapter and the 55 TOPS XDNA 2 neural engine. There is no PCIe 5 support here and 8 of the CPU cores are slower than the other 4.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.

76.86%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
