HP OmniBook 5 starts at $699.99 with OLED display and Intel Core 5

HP is entering the budget laptop market with the OmniBook 5, a device designed to compete directly with Apple's MacBook Neo. The release is notable for offering OLED screens and contemporary Intel processors at a budget-friendly price, addressing a market segment where consumers often had to compromise on display quality or processing speed. The OmniBook 5 starts at $699.99 and ships in October 2026.

HP launches budget laptop with OLED screen and Wildcat Lake chips

The laptop runs on Intel's new Wildcat Lake architecture, offering two processor choices. Buyers can select the Intel Core 5 320 or the more powerful Intel Core 7 350. Since both processors use integrated Intel Graphics, the device does not include a dedicated graphics card for intensive gaming but remains efficient for everyday computing tasks.

Specifications

• CPU: Intel Core 5 320 or Intel Core 7 350
• Display: 14-inch 1920 x 1200 OLED
• RAM: 8, 12, or 16GB LPDDR5-6400
• Storage: 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD
• Battery: 60 WHr

HP equips the OmniBook 5 with a 14-inch OLED panel that displays at 1920 x 1200 resolution. The company offers both touch and non-touch versions of this screen. The system uses soldered LPDDR5-6400 RAM, with 8GB, 12GB, or 16GB options available. Storage choices include 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSDs.

The device weighs 2.56 pounds and includes a 60 WHr battery. HP claims the laptop can last up to 42 hours on a single charge during local video playback. The system ships with a 65W USB Type-C GaN charger. You can buy the laptop in four colors: peony pink, starlit blue, smoke silver, and soft honeydew.

Some configurations will not be available at launch. The 12GB RAM and 1TB storage options are planned for release in November 2026. A higher-resolution 2560 x 1600 OLED touch panel is scheduled for March 2027. Consequently, initial purchasers will only be able to select from the standard display resolution and memory options available at launch.
