"Chief among them is HP's decision to upgrade its entire OmniBook portfolio with Qualcomm's latest chip, the Snapdragon X2 and OLED displays across the board. It's a bold move, considering the Snapdragon X2 is expected to outperform Apple's M4 chip. Qualcomm first unveiled the Snapdragon X2 back in September 2025, positioning it against the M4, and proving it had what it takes to deliver all-day battery life. Based on early benchmark tests shared at the time, the X2 reportedly outpaces the Apple chip by a wide margin."
"One of the first revealed laptops to showcase these upgrades is the OmniBook Ultra 14, HP's premium consumer notebook with a 3K OLED display and either the new Snapdragon X2 Elite or Intel Panther Lake processor. The 2026 OmniBook Ultra 14 features an all-new slim design -- 5% thinner than the M4 MacBook Air 13, HP says, while weighing only 2.81 pounds. It's also loaded with pro-level connectivity, such as three Thunderbolt 4 ports, support for an external monitor at 8K, and up to 64GB of RAM."
HP is upgrading the entire OmniBook portfolio with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 and OLED screens, aiming for higher performance and much longer battery life, up to 45 hours. The OmniBook Ultra 14 leads the rollout with a 3K OLED display and choice of Snapdragon X2 Elite or Intel Panther Lake processors. The Ultra 14 adopts a slimmer 2.81-pound chassis, claiming 5% thinner than the M4 MacBook Air 13, and includes three Thunderbolt 4 ports, 8K external monitor support, and up to 64GB of RAM. The changes position OmniBook to better compete with Apple's laptops on performance and efficiency.
