HP has released the OmniBook 5, a 14-inch laptop designed to compete directly with the MacBook Neo. This device targets budget-conscious buyers who want premium OLED visuals and long battery life without paying premium prices. The starting price of $699 makes it one of the most affordable options in its class for consumers looking to upgrade their daily driver.

The laptop runs on 's new Wildcat Lake processors, which HP positions as a direct challenge to Apple's silicon. Buyers can choose between the Core 5 315, the Core 5 320, or the top-tier Core 7 350. HP claims the Core 7 350 variant can somewhat compete with the Apple A18 Pro chip found in the MacBook Neo, offering a viable alternative for users who prefer Windows.

Specifications

  • Processor: Intel Core 5 315 / Core 5 320 / Core 7 350
  • Display: 14-inch OLED, 1920×1200 or 2560×1600, 300 nits
  • Memory: 8GB / 12GB LPDDR5
  • Battery: 60Wh, up to 42 hours video playback
  • Weight: 2.56lbs

Visuals come from a 14-inch OLED panel available in either 1920×1200 or 2560×1600 resolution. The screen tops out at 300 nits of brightness, which is adequate for indoor use but may struggle in direct sunlight. The base configuration includes 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM, while higher tiers offer up to 12GB to handle multitasking.

HP rates the 60Wh battery for up to 42 hours of video playback, a claim that sets a high bar for efficiency. The chassis weighs 2.56lbs and measures 11.68mm thick, keeping the device portable for commuters. Connectivity includes a full-sized HDMI port, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports with PD support, and WiFi 6E.

The base and mid-range models are available now on HP's official store. The Core 7 350 model is scheduled to arrive in October 2026, though this date appears unusually distant and may be a source typo. For most buyers, the immediate availability of the Core 5 options provides a clear path to purchase at the $699 entry point.
