HP has announced the OmniBook 5 Series, a new line of Snapdragon-based laptops aimed at mainstream consumers seeking long battery life, performance consistency and Ai-powered functionality in a lightweight form factor.
The OmniBook 5 Series will be available in 14- and 16-inch models. Both devices feature Snapdragon X and X Plus processors from Qualcomm, equipped with neural processing units rated at 45 TOPS. The series is positioned as a Copilot+ PC and is part of HP’s broader push to bring Ai-enhanced computing into daily workflows.
Designed For Extended Use
HP claims the OmniBook 5 Series delivers up to 34 hours of battery life, a figure that sets a benchmark for consumer Ai laptops. The devices are also designed to maintain CPU performance even when running unplugged.
Recharge times have also been improved. HP said the 65W mini adapter can charge the battery to 50 per cent in 30 minutes. The new charger is about half the size and weight of the previous generation.
“Our goal with the OmniBook 5 Series is to address everyday computing needs without forcing users to choose between performance and longevity,” a spokesperson for HP said.
Integrated Ai Features
The OmniBook 5 devices ship with Windows features such as Recall and Click-to-Do in preview, improved Windows Search, and Cocreator in Paint. These are designed to help users quickly access, generate and manage content with local Ai support.
HP is also including its own Ai Companion tool, which enables on-device optimisation and document analysis without requiring cloud processing.
The integration of on-device Ai tools is powered by Snapdragon’s neural engine, which HP said will allow the system to handle tasks like noise filtering, image generation and personal productivity enhancements without compromising battery life.
Display And Collaboration Features
The laptops will feature 2K OLED panels, a display spec often reserved for higher-end models. HP said the displays offer near edge-to-edge visuals with rich colour and deep contrast, bringing improved media experiences to the mainstream segment.
Other hardware features include a 1080p FHD IR camera and support for external 5K or dual 4K displays, giving the devices flexibility for remote work or creative tasks.

HP described the product as part of what it says is the world’s most sustainable PC portfolio.
