"The white model had a slightly rugged texture that isn't completely smooth to the touch. In fact, the texture reminded me of the "ceraluminum" finishes found on certain 2024 laptops like the Asus Zenbook S 16, though HP says it used recycled magnesium aluminum for the computer's construction. Whatever the material, it helps the laptop achieve that featherweight form factor while enabling a durable, premium feel."
"Weighing just 2.1 pounds, it's lighter than the M4 MacBook Air, which comes in at 2.7 pounds. However, it is thicker than Apple's machine, measuring 0.69 inches. That extra thickness pays off with a better port selection. You get two USB-C ports, two USB-A inputs (one supporting 10Gbps transfer speeds, the other 5Gbps), an HDMI 2.1 port, and a headphone jack."
"Weight distribution is interesting to say the least. The OmniBook feels noticeably denser in the center when held from there. However, when you pick it up from the corner, it's flimsier and even wobbles a bit. Because of this construction, the laptop technically fails the one-finger lift test. It stayed in one spot when I raised the screen, although I also ended up lifting the whole device at the same time."
The OmniBook is an ultralight 2.1-pound work laptop with a 0.69-inch thickness that enables a broader port set than comparable thin machines. The laptop includes two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports (10Gbps and 5Gbps), an HDMI 2.1 port, and a headphone jack. The chassis uses recycled magnesium-aluminum and ships in Glacier Silver or Ceramic White, with the white finish offering a slightly rugged, ceraluminum-like texture. Weight concentrates toward the center, producing a flimsier feel at the corners and causing the device to fail a one-finger lift test despite stable screen behavior when opened.
