HP releases new slim 17-inch laptop with Arc B390 graphics and Intel Panther Lake
HP has now started selling a new OmniBook X with a 17-inch display. To recap, the company introduced a Lunar Lake-based model last year (curr. $999 on Amazon). While the older OmniBook X 17 was available with up to Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics, the newer model currently trades a discrete GPU for up to Intel's Arc B390 integrated graphics. A GeForce RTX 5050-powered model should be launching later in 2026, though.
In the meantime, the Arc B390 fares comparatively well in our benchmarks against the GeForce RTX 4050, considering the former is an integrated GPU. Please note that the Arc B390 only comes with Core Ultra X7 358H or Core Ultra X9 388H processors. Otherwise, the new OmniBook X 17 features a less performant 4 Xe3-core variant.
HP offers its new 17.3-inch laptop with 24 GB or 32 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 RAM and 2 TB of PCIe Gen 5 storage, too. All SKUs ship with the same 76 Wh battery and 1080p IPS display, though. Featuring a 16:9 aspect ratio, the display also delivers 400 nits peak brightness with 100% sRGB colour space coverage and touchscreen support.
The OmniBook X 17 starts at $1,499 in the US with a Core Ultra 5 325 processor, 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. Limited SKUs means that the same laptop costs CAD 2,199 in Canada with the more powerful Core Ultra 7 355. Likewise, the 17-inch laptop costs at least €2,099 in the Eurozone by virtue of HP including 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD and the Core Ultra X7 358H with Arc B390 graphics.
