Very usable unless you explicitly have an application that is unsupported for Windows on ARM. For the right user, particularly those who primarily work within a browser and/or Microsoft productivity applications, the ARM-based systems could be killer devices when well discounted. Admittedly, most discounts on Windows ARM machines have typically gotten the devices down to what should have been their original MSRP. The latest round of Windows on ARM devices were typically targeting premium buyers so a lot of the release pricing was optimistic on the part of the vendors.

However, this slickdeal model in particular brings a crazily premium OLED display down to a preposterous price point. The lack of touchscreen functionality is a disappointment, but otherwise this laptop could be a killer device for media consumption and other light-duty tasks. Personally I've only seen discounted OLED-equipped Windows laptops in the $800-1000 range until now.

If there's one consideration beyond the lack of touchscreen functionality, it would be that the long-life battery benefits of an ARM-based platform are likely offset by the power demands of the OLED screen. I'd recommend scrutinizing reviews of this model, but personally I'm such an OLED fanboy that I'd gladly trade battery life for the beauty of the screen.

Good luck!

The Snapdragon processors are far superior to Intel / AMD, especially when running off battery power. I am actually typing this on the exact computer in this post. I have the Intel i7 version also of this same 16 inch Omnibook and the Snapdragon has much better performance and battery life. I also have a Lenovo 16 inch with the latest Ryzen 7 AI chip and the performance is even worse than the Intel.

Community Reviews

This OmniBook 5 stands out as a premium 16 inch Windows on ARM laptop with a 2K OLED display, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD at a budget price. The screen, build, battery life, storage speed, and overall responsiveness are praised as far above a typical $500 laptop, and the Snapdragon chip is described as very fast for browser, Microsoft Office, streaming, and light creative work. The main cautions are weaker raw x86 performance for heavy apps, possible compatibility issues with unsupported Windows on ARM software and older drivers, and soldered LPDDR5X memory. The missing touchscreen and number pad are also noted, making it a strong fit for everyday use rather than demanding legacy workloads.

  • The Snapdragon-based OmniBook 5 can deliver better performance and battery life than Intel i7 and Ryzen 7 AI laptops when running on battery power.

  • The 16-inch 2K OLED display can make the laptop a strong choice for media consumption and light-duty tasks.

    The_Love_Spudfgullama

  • The OmniBook 5 can feel more responsive than typical $500 budget laptops across display, build, battery life, RAM, storage speed, and overall usability.

  • HP chat support can provide an extra 5% off when the Google 5% code does not appear at checkout.

    MellowCatfish6336

  • The "on board" LPDDR5X memory can be soldered and non-upgradeable, which can be a dealbreaker for users who need memory slots.

    OodlesofNoodles157Hat-Trick

  • Windows on ARM compatibility can be a problem for unsupported apps, which can limit productivity and specialized software use.

    The_Love_Spud

  • The laptop lacks touchscreen functionality, which can be disappointing for users expecting touch input.

    The_Love_Spud

  • The OmniBook 5 can lag behind mid-range Intel or AMD systems for heavy x86 workloads like demanding Adobe or engineering software.

Does the Snapdragon Plus really lag behind the Elite, by 45%
I have the exact model in this post and the processor is very fast even though it is not the Elite model. It is much faster than the latest Intel i7 and Ryzen 7 AI chips which I have in other computers.

That was my question as well. Because it says "on board" that makes me think it's soldered on. Which makes this a non start for me. The manual would say for sure.

On-board is exactly what it sounds like. Any memory that is labeled LPDDR5X is soldered on (unless it specifically says CAMM, which very few laptops use and the ones that do are very expensive). The majority of laptops use soldered RAM so if it's a "non start" for you , you better start looking at much more expensive workstation laptops (Lenovo, for example) or gaming laptops for memory slots.
