HP Launches New OmniBook 5 14 Targeting MacBook Neo with OLED Display
HP has introduced the 2026 HP OmniBook 5 14, a new laptop designed to compete directly with Apple's MacBook Neo. Starting at $699.99, it features an Intel Core 5 “Wildcat Lake” processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD — specs similar to the MacBook Neo and other recent laptops from Dell, Asus, and Acer. The OmniBook stands out with its OLED display across all configurations, offering vibrant visuals despite lower resolution in base models. The laptop is notably thin (as low as 0.46 inches) and lightweight at just 2.56 pounds — slightly thinner and lighter than the MacBook Neo. HP also announced a business-oriented ProBook 4 G2iS with similar specs, set to launch later this year. While it may not outperform Apple's offering in raw power or screen brightness, its design, color options, and OLED display make it an attractive alternative for budget-conscious consumers. The OmniBook is expected to go on sale in October 2026, with a higher-end version featuring improved resolution and brightness launching next year.
