This OmniBook 5 stands out as a well equipped 16 inch HP laptop for everyday use, with a backlit keyboard, two USB C ports with power delivery, and a 59 Whr battery. The Ryzen AI 5 340 configuration gets compared against pricier options, and the higher spec Ryzen AI 7 350 model with 1 TB storage and touchscreen is seen as worth the extra cost for some. The main tradeoffs are a small battery, no touch on this version, and a heavier 5.5 pound build. Deal timing and returns also matter here, since it is sold while supplies last and Staples may not offer a standard 30 day return window.
Buyers comparing Ryzen and Intel options at the same price, because the Ryzen configuration is being weighed against a Core Ultra 7 alternative with more storage or a touchscreen.
It appears to use a 59 Whr battery. An online review also estimated about 11 hours of battery life, though the laptop is still described as small-battery in practice.
This $479.99 configuration has a 16" FHD+ IPS display with no touch support and no numeric keypad. A higher-spec alternative mentioned in the thread swaps to a 1TB SSD and numeric keypad but still drops touchscreen.
Technology and business machines such as laptops may be returned within 14 days of receipt. That shorter window matters if you want time to test the machine before keeping it.
The deal runs Sunday through Saturday while supplies last, and there are no rainchecks. That means the price can disappear before the week ends if stock runs out.
Well, it has a backlit keyboard, 2 USB-C ports, and power delivery, no more barrel charger. So pretty good for HP. Any guesses how long Staple deals usually last? Hate to see Costco offer a similarly priced Ryzen 7, 1TB HP 16" again like they did a couple months ago when just started shopping around.
Pondering...pondering...

* My mistake, checked my notes. It was actually this one for $599(now $799, Costco), $549 (now, was $609) at Staples. ...Looking it over again, it looks like it's worth the $70 price bump over the OP.

I finally bit. The Ryzen 7 was worth the $80 bump after tax. One thing to note if anyone else is going for this:
* Technology and business machines, such as computers, laptops, digital cameras, printers and tablets, may be returned within 14 days of the date of receipt.

Same here. It was the one I was looking at initially, too. Didn't find anything better for my needs since.

The laptop includes a backlit keyboard and two USB-C ports with power delivery, avoiding a barrel charger setup.
The configuration can use a full-size M.2 2280 SSD format rather than ultra-compact M.2 sizes.
A Costco model with higher specs is described as worth the $70 price bump over the OP configuration.
The battery capacity is reportedly listed as a 59 WHr battery on HP's support/specs page.
The laptop may feel heavier than expected at about 5.5 lb, and battery capacity confirmation is still questioned.
The battery is described as small, and the laptop is also described as heavy.
The deal timing is limited to Sunday through Saturday while supplies last, with no rainchecks offered.
Return options may be limited because Staples is described as not offering a traditional 30-day return window.
