""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."
"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. Whatever the material, it helps the laptop achieve that featherweight form factor while enabling a durable, premium feel."
HP's OmniBook is an ultraportable work laptop weighing 2.1 pounds and measuring 0.69 inches thick. The design is thinner and lighter than some competitors but slightly thicker than the M4 MacBook Air, trading thinness for a fuller port selection that includes two USB-C, two USB-A (10Gbps and 5Gbps), HDMI 2.1, and a headphone jack. Weight distribution concentrates mass toward the center, making corner lifts feel flimsy and causing the device to fail a one-finger lift test. The laptop is available in Glacier Silver and Ceramic White with a slightly rugged, ceraluminum-like texture. Recycled magnesium-aluminum construction delivers a featherweight yet premium, durable feel.
