Reviews for the HP Omnibook 5 16-af1037nr
The OmniBook 5 16 doesn't excel in any one particular area, but it gets all the basics right to be a great starter laptop for students or users on tighter budgets.

The HP OmniBook 5 16 with Intel Core Ultra 7 255U is a reasonable choice if you want a well-rounded 16-inch laptop at a low price. Though it has an MSRP well over $1,000, it tends to retail around $600, which is quite affordable for a laptop of this size. The OmniBook 5 16 doesn’t excel in any particular category, but doesn’t fall far behind the pack, either. However, shoppers should take care to note the specific OmniBook 5 16 model they’re considering when they make a purchase. HP sells models with AMD or Qualcomm inside, and their specifications can vary a fair bit. The Qualcomm models, for example, have a superior OLED display.
