HP OmniBook Ultra 14 (2024)

The OmniBook Ultra 14 is a great choice for people looking for strong CPU performance that don't need dedicated graphics. Great examples include software developers, audio engineers, mechanical engineers, and even designers.

The OmniBook Ultra 14 comes with AMD's Ryzen 9 Zen 5 CPU. This is the best processor to get as of end 2024 for people who want a Windows laptop who need performance but also want some portability. It is more efficient than Intel's Core Ultra 9 (series 1). Delivering more performance per watt of power consumed. Because of this, the OmniBook Ultra remains cool to the touch and with minimal fan noise, even for performance tasks. It also delivers very strong battery life.

Also, since this is an AMD laptop that uses the x86 architecture, all applications just work. This is unlike Snapdragon powered laptops that compete around this price point.
