"Also: This Windows laptop has MacBook Pro written all over it (but it's better in key ways) "Aero" is the perfect descriptor here. Weighing just 2.1 pounds, it's lighter than the M4 MacBook Air, which comes in at 2.7 pounds. However, it is thicker than Apple's machine, measuring 0.69 inches. That extra thickness pays off with a better port selection. You get two USB-C ports, two USB-A inputs (one supporting 10Gbps transfer speeds, the other 5Gbps), an HDMI 2.1 port, and a headphone jack."
"Weight distribution is interesting to say the least. The OmniBook feels noticeably denser in the center when held from there. However, when you pick it up from the corner, it's flimsier and even wobbles a bit. Because of this construction, the laptop technically fails the one-finger lift test. It stayed in one spot when I raised the screen, although I also ended up lifting the whole device at the same time."
"HP's laptop comes in two colors: Glacier Silver and Ceramic White -- I had the latter for my review unit. The white model had a slightly rugged texture that isn't completely smooth to the touch. In fact, the texture reminded me of the "ceraluminum" finishes found on certain 2024 laptops like the Asus Zenbook S 16, though HP says it used recycled magnesium aluminum for the computer's construction."
2025 has been a strong year for HP. The OmniBook is a thin, lightweight work laptop that prioritizes portability while offering robust connectivity. The laptop weighs 2.1 pounds and measures 0.69 inches thick, making it lighter than the M4 MacBook Air but slightly thicker. Extra thickness enables a wider port selection, including two USB-C, two USB-A (one 10Gbps, one 5Gbps), HDMI 2.1, and a headphone jack. Weight distribution is denser in the center but flimsy at the corners, causing it to fail the one-finger lift test. Construction uses recycled magnesium aluminum with a slightly rugged, ceraluminum-like texture that yields a durable, premium feel and comfortable raised keycaps.
