The OmniBook 5 series occupies the mid-range of HP's consumer laptops for everyday use and the office, punctuated by fantastic battery life. The fits that description perfectly, with a roomy keyboard, a diverse range of configurations, and a very attractive $649 starting price. I tested the OmniBook 5 16-inch with the Intel Core Ultra 7 255H processor, and found it to be a reliable, practical laptop with a very efficient battery, particularly for a 16-inch.

The laptop not only comes with 16 GB of RAM and a terabyte of storage, but also a 16-inch OLED screen with a 2880 x 1800 resolution. That OLED screen even has a 120 Hz refresh rate. You won't find a 16-inch laptop with a display this gorgeous at this price anywhere else. Importantly, it also comes with an Intel Core Ultra 7 256V CPU, an efficient processor known for getting great battery life and decent performance.

Amazon's next Prime Day sales event begins on Oct. 7 and continues until Oct. 8. During this time, the retailer offers big discounts on all sorts of laptops. It's not the only platform joining in on the festivities -- Best Buy is also rolling out the price drops. Right now, at Best Buy, you can buy the HP OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1 Copilot PC for $700, a $400 discount.

This is a terrific deal for anyone looking to transform a blah PC desktop into a raging speed demon, but it's especially great if you're a gamer looking to upgrade a rig or are thinking about building your own from scratch. With 8 performance cores and 12 efficient cores, and that awesome max clock speed of 5.5GHz, the Intel Core Ultra 7 is begging to be the engine for high-end lag-free PC gaming.

The Gram 17 is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 "Lunar Lake" processor, 32GB of RAM, and a terabyte of storage, putting it in line with other competitive mid-to-upper-tier laptops in the same price range. Where it stands out from the crowd, however, is its form. The record-holding lightness results in a laptop that's easy to carry around, especially if you are a hybrid worker who commutes to the office.

The configuration on sale features a 3K OLED 120Hz display with an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and 16GB of RAM, marked down to $534.
