Specifications

Manufacturer

HP (Hewlett-Packard) is among the top 3 laptop makers by the world’s marketshare, besides Dell and Lenovo. HP makes the popular Pavilion consumer laptop line, the basic laptops branded as simply HP, the higher-end Spectre and Envy laptops and convertibles, EliteBook and ProBook business laptops, and the Omen gaming notebooks.

Series

HP OmniBook laptops are sleek everyday productivity devices. They feature modern processors, long battery life, and built-in Copilot+ AI capabilities on select models.

Laptop Type

Laptop PCs with Windows operating system are the most common notebook computers, followed by MacBooks and Chromebooks.

The traditional clamshell laptop design, as opposed to 2-in-1 convertibles.

Performance

Laptops with standard performance are those with the widely used mid-range and upper-mid-range processors. They are an excellent choice for daily home and office computing, as well as slightly more demanding tasks like light gaming and light content creation. For hardcore gaming and professional content creation, high-performance laptops are the better fit.

Typical Use

The majority of laptops on the market, including the cheapest ones with basic specs, are suitable for the common everyday tasks like web browsing, emails, or document editing. Having a powerful and power-hungry laptop just to complete these tasks isn’t necessary.

Office and productivity laptop tasks typically involve word and spreadsheet processing, presentations, emailing, web research, and multitasking between business applications.

Laptops used for studying and online education offer reliable entry-level and mid-range performance, a good battery life, and support for multitasking and communication in a digital learning environment.

Web browsing and social media tasks don’t require high-end specs. They can be completed easily on entry-level and mid-range laptops with good network connectivity.

Unless you play the latest AAA games for which you need a gaming laptop, lighter games like Minecraft, Roblox, League of Legends, or Sims, you can run decently well on a regular mid-range laptop.

Laptops used for movie watching don’t have to include high-performance components, but they should offer decent screens with wide viewing angles.

For professional content creation such as high-resolution photo and video editing or music production, a laptop with high performance is recommended. However, for occasional light content creation tasks like 1080p video and basic photo editing, mid-range performance is sufficient, too. In both cases, laptops used for visual content creation should have at least decent screens.

In most cases, coding tasks like web development or app creation aren’t overly hardware demanding. But still, it is beneficial if your laptop provides at least standard performance and 16GB of RAM or higher for seamless multi-tasking and running OS emulations.

Screen Size

The 17.3-inch screen diagonal means the laptop’s display is a large one in comparison to screens of the most laptops.

Screen Resolution

Full HD (FHD) is the most common laptop screen resolution today. It offers good image sharpness and a decent amount of screen space for the user interface and applications. However, it doesn’t match the visual clarity of top-tier 4K Ultra HD. On the plus side, FHD typically consumes less power than 4K, making it more energy-efficient for everyday use.

Screen Features

Touchscreens in modern mobile computers support multi-touch finger input. They come in the standard laptop form with added touchscreen functionality or with 2-in-1 convertible laptop / tablet designs.

Displays based on IPS technology provide much wider viewing angles than the budget-class TN screens.

Processor

The Intel Core Ultra 5 226V is a mid-range mobile processor released in 2024. It features 8 cores, clock speeds of up to 4.5 GHz, and a 17W TDP, delivering energy-efficient performance suitable for everyday computing tasks. In addition, it boasts a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) capable of up to 40 TOPS, making it well-suited for AI-enhanced workloads.

Graphics

While it’s not intended for high-end gaming, the Intel Arc 130V Graphics built into the Intel Core processors can handle well light games like Minecraft, Roblox, or LoL, and select heavier titles on 1080p resolution and low to medium settings.

RAM Size

16GB and greater RAM sizes are recommended for heavy multitasking, gaming, and specialized programs that require a lot of RAM.

Data Storage

512GB or larger storage capacity is recommended if you store a lot of large files and install many programs.

Keyboard & Touchpad

The keyboard has backlit keys and a separate numeric pad on the right side of the keyboard.

Multimedia & Communication

Stereo Speakers

Modern mobile computers usually have built-in stereo speakers.

Web Camera in 1080p FHD

This is a high laptop web camera resolution in comparison to the common 720p. But, 1080p is low in comparison to common resolutions of modern smartphone front cameras.

Built-in Microphone

The laptop has a built-in microphone, which is a common laptop feature just like web cameras.

Networking & Wireless

Wi-Fi 6 802.11AX Wireless

The 802.11AX is currently the most used Wi-Fi wireless networking standard. It’s also known as Wi-Fi 6. When connected to 802.11AX-compatible routers, the 802.11AX modules in laptops bring improvements over the older standards in terms of data transfer speeds and multi-device connectivity. In some of the latest laptops, 802.11AX is being replaced by newer 802.11BE standard.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth enables you to wirelessly connect the computer to Bluetooth peripherals like Bluetooth mice and keyboards, as well as to smartphones, and other compatible devices.

They feature powerful neural processing units (NPUs) capable of at least 40 TOPS, which let users generates AI images and complete other AI tasks fast on the computer itself, rather than on a remote AI server.

Customizable laptops allow you to choose different component and feature options before the purchase.
