HP revealed its redesigned OmniBook lineup at CES 2026, introducing the ultra-thin OmniBook Ultra 14 and bringing OLED displays to even its most affordable models. The company had previously rebranded its laptops in 2025 but kept the same old designs-this year, the hardware finally matches the new names.
OmniBook Ultra 14: Thin, Tough, and AI-Powered
The flagship OmniBook Ultra 14 is built from forged anodized aluminum and measures just 0.29 inches at the front, rising to 0.55 inches at its peak. Despite its slim profile, it weighs 2.81 pounds and passed 20 MIL-STD durability tests, offering a rigid, durable chassis.
Internally, HP offers both Intel Core Ultra Series 3 and Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 processors. The Snapdragon X2 Elite configuration includes an 85 TOPS NPU, delivering nearly double the AI performance of the previous generation’s 45 TOPS.
Key specs include:
- 3K OLED display
- Up to 64GB RAM
- Up to 2TB SSD
- Starting price: $1,550
Shipments begin later this month.
OLED Across the Lineup
HP is expanding OLED availability across its entire OmniBook range, including the entry-level OmniBook 3, which starts at just $500. The OmniBook 5 starts at $850. Both models will ship in February.
Higher-end models like the OmniBook X and OmniBook 7 will arrive in spring, and all models will offer:
- Snapdragon X2 series chips
- 2K OLED display options
OmniStudio X 27 Gets Neo-LED Display and Thunderbolt Share
HP also refreshed its OmniStudio X all-in-one lineup, shrinking the display options to 24- and 27-inch models. The 27-inch Neo-LED display uses an IPS panel with mini-LED backlighting for:
- Near-OLED contrast
- 450-nit brightness
- 100% Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 color coverage
- 2,560×1,440 resolution
- 120Hz refresh rate
A new Thunderbolt Share feature allows users to connect and sync files between the OmniStudio X and a laptop via a single cable. The Surface View webcam can tilt downward to share desk content during presentations.
The OmniStudio X 27 starts at $1,500, with pre-orders opening later this week. No shipping date has been announced.
