HP OmniBook X 14 Wins Praise for OLED, Portability in Early Hands-On Review

A Times Now hands-on review highlights the OmniBook X 14 as a premium thin-and-light combining a 3K OLED, all-day battery life, a lightweight chassis, suitable for professionals who do not need high-end graphics.

Overview

  • The review sample ships at the listed Indian price of Rs 1,69,999 and comes configured with an Intel Core Ultra 7 356H, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD, and a 14-inch 3K OLED touchscreen.
  • The 2880×1800 OLED panel runs up to 120Hz, covers 100% DCI-P3 and is rated to 500 nits SDR and 1,100 nits HDR, which the reviewer called a standout for color accuracy and contrast on a 14‑inch laptop.
  • Real-world testing showed strong everyday and light-creator performance from the CPU and fast storage but limited GPU headroom that makes full 4K editing, heavy 3D rendering, or high-end gaming impractical on this model.
  • HP’s claimed 70Wh battery produced roughly a nine-hour workday in the reviewer’s mixed-use test and the laptop ships with a compact 100W USB-C charger, while the keyboard and large trackpad earned praise for day-to-day typing and gestures.
  • The design is very light at 1.3 kg and HP says the chassis cleared 11 MIL-STD-810H tests, ports include Thunderbolt 4, USB-A and HDMI 2.1 but there is no SD card slot and the down‑firing speakers lack bass for serious media playback.
