Community Reviews
This OmniBook 5 stands out for packing a Ryzen AI 7 350, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD at a price that is hard to match, making it appealing for everyday use and occasional travel. The 16 inch IPS touchscreen is fine for basic work, and the port selection includes USB C, HDMI, and support for multiple external monitors. The main knocks are the display, with poor 62.5 percent sRGB coverage and complaints that 1920 by 1200 is not really 2K, plus no Thunderbolt or USB4. Wi Fi reliability, soldered memory, and reports of crashes or blue screens add caution, so it fits best if the specs matter more than the screen and upgradeability.

- wifi at home is good, at school, I don't know why it got disconnected very often.
- Unable to dual boot with Arch: the machine didn't see the bootloader in a separate Linux EFI partition or even in the Windows EFI partition.
Everything else is great.
If I want a dedicated external monitor rig I'd look at the 14" footprint, personally.

Still happy with my $850 vivobook S (even tho it's 16GB only)
No, thanks. I don't want the "higher" speeds. I want the upgradeability and if I burn it - I want to be able to replace it. Until they switch back, I will stick to another assembler.
And on top of everything they still have same quality control problems from 20 years ago. They retired the ENVY line for some cheap but higher margin lines and think all of us are fools. FFS, how hard it is to put out there a configuration of 64GB SODIMM, i7 or i9 Ultra, GF RTX 5070 or 5080, 1TB SSD, WiFi7 and good screen. It ain't rocket science!
