In July, HP unveiled its first Snapdragon X Elite-powered laptops in India. The EliteBook Ultra and the OmniBook X are the first Copilot+ PCs from the brand. We were sent the consumer-focused OmniBook X for review. It is claimed to deliver up to 26 hours of battery life and bundled with AI features enabled by the dedicated NPU in the Snapdragon X Elite chipset. The laptop competes with other Snapdragon X Elite-based laptops available in the country, such as the Dell XPS 13 (9345) and the Asus VivoBook S15 OLED.
When one thinks of a gaming laptop, one imagines a big and heavy machine, and most of them are. However, there are a couple of gaming laptops that take the slim route. The HP Omen Transcend 14 is one of them. HP unveiled the laptop at CES 2024, and it's now available in India. It's a relatively slim laptop, but at the same time, it can easily run AAA titles. The laptop doesn't have RGB strips like most gaming laptops and is all about stealth. Apart from running games, the laptop can also perform all kinds of other tasks, such as video editing, running 100 tabs in Chrome, and so on.
The HP Pavilion Plus 14 is the company's premium laptop designed for a mix of productivity and entertainment. It boasts of an all-metal body, a high-resolution display, premium speakers, and Intel's latest 12th generation mobile CPUs. Moreover, HP says that the Pavilion Plus 14 is its slimmest Pavilion laptop yet, which makes it attractive to those who have to carry their laptop around often. Should this be your next work laptop?
