I've been using this laptop for about a month now, having picked it up during the Walmart sale for $429. For the price, it's a solid machine, provided you aren't expecting a hardcore gaming rig.
On the positive side, the battery life is excellent—which was my primary reason for buying it. It handles my daily workflow without issue, which includes running three separate Citrix Workspace connections, various SSH sessions and shells using MSYSARM64, VS Code for Terraform and Ansible, Chrome for music/streaming, and VLC for IPTV playback.
While the 300-nit display isn't OLED, it is perfectly adequate given the price point. My 54 yr old eyes can't handle 14" screens anymore thus I like the size of 16". The weight is decently light for the frame, another reason I don't use a gaming laptop.
My only real gripe is the keyboard; it requires more deliberate pressure to register keystrokes compared to my Asus ZenBook, which has led to more typos than I'm used to. Overall, it's a capable device if you have similar productivity needs. and the batter life is great.
Battery life better than almost anything from Intel and AMD with its ARM processor
If it came with the Intel Core 5 120 and if I needed a laptop, I would buy
this one to use with Linux. Intel Core 5 120 is more powerful than enough for me.
Running anything that is x86 requires emulation that slows down workflow. ARM is superior technology on the hardware front, but Windows is so slow to see the future, grasping to every shred of X86 it can. Hopefully Nvidia can convince them to make the migration. I use Windows, Linux Mint, MacOS, and ChromeOS regularly, and I am not loyal to any of them. I like/dislike all of them for different reasons. But, using Snapdragon hardware with Windows is like using it with a MacBook. It'll work, but it's not the best combination. Qualcomm should have teamed up with Google to create the next line of AluminiumOS devices. ARM on an Android computer makes the most sense.
You do realize how many x86 based computers are out there that depend on Windows and we all depend on many of those computers.
Millions upon millions.
It is so hard for Microsoft, it is amazing what they have done.
Apple and anything Google does is a completely different product and market from what Windows serves worldwide.

So much fear mongering on the arm cpu. Apples m5 is arm. So much love for the m5. Arm on windows use to have app compatibility issues 5 years ago. Not anymore. Same with apple when the first switch over to arm. Most common apps work natively now. None native apps is emulated quite well now.
Arm is not slow. It is the future. The arm architecture will be the dominant architecture. To me the most crippling thing about a laptop is battery life. Arm solves this with 20 plus hours of battery life.
Serious question though... Can this run Roblox though? I am not part of the 99% who needs this to do AI work flows. I just want to YouTube and play Roblox
Intel 226V, 228V, 265V options are available with touchscreen, light, OLED and all. Much more productive.
Apple has 'lappys' easy to carry as well.
Snapdragon and windows together have been a very bad choice for 99% of the users.
I don't know what stock investments you have in Apple and Intel, but I've been using computers since 1981 and know a thing or two. These snapdragons do fine. Apparently for you, they don't. I'm not spending my money on an apple and their CLOSED system of apps. I use linux as much as I can for security. I'm sick of Intel bowing down to the US Government and their 'built-in' spycraft. I even despise windows for building in crack codes for the NSA. I've worked in government and know NOT to trust them. I really don't care what you're motives are, but I'm blocking you so I don't have to see anymore of your OPINIONS.
Anyway to toss better OS on this for say game emulations instead? Maybe Bazzite OS? Chrome OS? Steam OS? Wondering what attempts have been made to leverage the snapdragon X in this lappy for that.

EDIT: I'm on a Lenovo Slim X1 laptop, don't know how far HP Omni is supported.
The Ubuntu Concept ISO is available. I'm having trouble getting some repositories working right now, but it works. https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/fa...lite/61016

Be careful with this one right now - I bought one a few days ago and ran all the updates and then it starting having all kinds of software issues, so I just exchanged it, new one was working fine until I ran the software updates and now it's doing the same thing.
Not sure if it's a windows update or a driver update that's doing it, but it's incredibly frustrating

So, native ARM64 exist on windows.
