Verdict — No Surprises For Lower Prices
If fancy features like HDR, high refresh rates, and discrete graphics mean little to your daily workloads, then this budget HP system can save you hundreds of dollars upfront. Core basics like great battery life, comfy backlit keyboard, IPS display, universal USB-C charging, strong base construction, and a modern Intel U-series CPU can handle typical multitasking without much hassle.
It's easy to complain about missing features like full sRGB coverage or Thunderbolt support, but these would almost certainly bump up prices to more undesirable levels given the target audience of budget-conscious buyers. We can, however, make note of the relatively weak hinges which we think could be improved upon without necessarily having to increase prices. Ports could have also been spaced more widely as most are cramped along the right edge for poorer ergonomics especially for right-handed users. If you like to game every now and then, however, the integrated Arc 4 isn't going to cut it for most titles as it performs much slower than the more popular Arc 8 on Core H-powered laptops. This model is otherwise a strong alternative to competitors like the Dell 16 Plus or Asus VivoBook 16 at the sub <$1000 range.
Pros
Cons
Price and Availability
Amazon is currently shipping our exact configuration as tested for $652. Alternatively, HP offers additional configurations albeit at higher MSRP prices of well over $1000.
The OmniBook 5 16 is a budget-oriented laptop similar to the Pavilion series. The latest model sports a modern Arrow Lake-U CPU but with no discrete graphics or fancy display features to keep costs low.
Our test unit is a midrange configuration with the Core Ultra 7 255U, 16 GB of RAM, and 1200p IPS touchscreen for approximately $650 USD. Higher-end options include a 1200p OLED display.
Competitors in this space include other budget 16-inch multimedia laptops like the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 16, Dell 16 Plus, or Asus Vivobook 16.

Specifications
Case
The chassis is rigid with minimal flexing along the base and keyboard center. The lid and hinges, however, are weaker than on pricier models like the Spectre x360 16 and so it warps and teeters more readily.
Annoyingly, there is no notch along the front edge and so the lid is more difficult to open than it should be.
An easy way to distinguish between budget HP models from higher-end models is to look at the logo on the outer lid. Less expensive models like our OmniBook 5 tend to use the older HP logo whereas the logo on pricier models like the OmniBook 7 Aero 13 is more stylized.
Connectivity
Port options are decent with one more USB-A port than what is available on the competing Dell 16 Plus. Keep in mind that the USB-C ports are only 10 Gbps each and with no Thunderbolt support.

Webcam
A 2 MP webcam with IR and privacy shutter come standard for Windows Hello support.
Maintenance
The bottom panel is secured by just four Phillips screws for easy servicing. However, there is not much to upgrade as there is no secondary SSD slot while the RAM modules are soldered.
Sustainability
Both ocean-bound and post-consumer plastics make up the speakers, bezels, and keycaps in various percentages. Meanwhile, the outer cover, deck, and hinges consist of recycled metal.
Accessories And Warranty
There are no extras in the retail box. The usual one-year limited manufacturer warranty applies if purchased in the US.
Input Devices
The keyboard is spacious with firmer key feedback than expected for its price range. Its overall feel is similar to the keyboard on the recent OmniBook 7 Aero 13.
Display
Three display options are available:
- 1920 x 1200, IPS, matte, 300 nits, non-touch, 60 Hz
- 1920 x 1200, IPS, matte, 300 nits, touch, 60 Hz
- 1920 x 1200, OLED, glossy, 300 nits, non-touch, 60 Hz
The IPS options have limited ~60 percent sRGB coverage while the OLED option is likely to cover at least the sRGB standard. More advanced features like HDR, high refresh rates, or higher resolutions are not available to keep costs low.

Performance
Testing Conditions
We set Windows to Performance mode prior to running the benchmarks below.
Processor
Raw multi-thread performance is about 10 to 15 percent slower than the average laptop in our database with the same Core Ultra 7 255U CPU likely due to the more limited Turbo Boost potential of the OmniBook 5 16. In fact, raw performance is essentially in par with last year's Core Ultra 7 155U in the HP Envy x360 15.

Stress Test
The CPU would boost to 3.4 GHz, 60 W, and 95 C when running Prime95 stress before falling and stabilizing at 2.2 GHz, 24 W, and 65 C roughly 20 seconds later as Turbo Boost is not sustainable for extended periods. This behavior aligns with our CineBench R15 xT loop test results above and power consumption meaurements below.
| CPU Clock (GHz) | GPU Clock (MHz) | Average CPU Temperature (°C) | |
| System Idle | -- | -- | 54 |
| Prime95 Stress | 2.2 | -- | 65 |
| Prime95 + FurMark Stress | 1.0 | 1800 | 59 |
| Cyberpunk 2077 Stress | ~0.5 | ~2100 | 66 |
System Performance
AIDA64 RAM and PCMark 10 benchmark results have some unusual scores. For example, the PCMark 10 Productivity subscore is very high while the AIDA64 scores are abnormally low even after multiple reruns. Subjectively, the system doesn't feel any slower or faster than competing models like the Asus Vivobook 16 when running daily loads.

System Noise
Fan noise is almost always quiet at under 26 dB(A) against a silent background of 23.3 dB(A) when running low to medium loads like browsing or streaming. At worst, fan noise may reach just under 40 dB(A) when the CPU is fully stressed such as when gaming with a CPU bottleneck.

Temperature
The right half of the chassis becomes noticeably warmer than the left due to the cooling solution within. However, hot spots never become uncomfortable as the Core U-series CPU isn't very demanding in the first place.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 28 °C / 82 F, compared to the average of 36.9 °C / 98 F, ranging from 21.1 to 71 °C for the class Multimedia.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 33.2 °C / 92 F, compared to the average of 39.2 °C / 103 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 22.4 °C / 72 F, compared to the device average of 31.3 °C / 88 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 20.8 °C / 69.4 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(+) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.7 °C / 83.7 F (+7.9 °C / 14.3 F).

Power Consumption
Overall consumption is close to what we recorded on the Lunar Lake V-powered Dell 16 Plus while providing similar CPU performance but significantly slower graphics performance. The small 65 W USB-C AC adapter is sufficient for the level of performance and power demand.
