This Snapdragon-powered laptop is very productive, but unless you have a high-paying job, you can do better. The original Windows Copilot Plus PC had great battery life and was even a few hundred dollars cheaper than Microsoft’s new Surface Laptop. But it was also boring as a business-class product, with a so-so screen and a subpar trackpad.
HP’s new OmniBook X 14 is one of the first laptops to be powered by Qualcomm’s Arm-based Snapdragon X Elite processor. Like most laptops we’ve seen so far, it’s a thin and light machine designed for productivity tasks and packed with AI-driven goodness

This is the first Windows laptop I’ve used in a long time that made me worry about the battery. That’s the beauty of combining the efficiency of the Snapdragon X with the OmniBook’s massive 59Wh capacity

Other Copilot Plus PCs, like the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x and Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge, actually have larger batteries, but the OmniBook’s 16:10 60Hz IPS LCD uses less power than brighter, faster OLED displays (more on that later).
If battery life is more important to you than anything else, the OmniBook is worth considering. Its advantages are certainly more pronounced than any of the overhyped AI features that make it a Copilot Plus PC in the first place. But the hardware it inherits from the EliteBook Ultra, like the trackpad, speakers, and screen, makes it cumbersome to use it away from a power outlet for long periods of time.
But that brings us to the speakers, which have always been poor. They’re OK for video calls, but their downward-firing direction (toward the front of the case) makes music sound thin when the laptop is on a table. Put it on your lap, and it sounds like it’s underwater. The upward-firing speakers on many other laptops (including the ones below the MacBook Air’s keyboard) are much better. Even my iPhone 15 Pro sounds slightly better, and the OmniBook’s only advantage is that its two speakers are about 7 inches apart, which gives it the smallest soundstage. But that positioning also means your wrists will often block the speakers while you type. You can also feed the AI Companion a document and it will try to summarize it. In an early briefing with HP, a representative demonstrated how a hiring manager could upload three resumes and have the AI compare the candidates. I can’t stress this enough: This is something you shouldn’t do.
