HP OmniBook 5: features and specifications
The HP OmniBook 5 is designed for students and everyday users who need a lightweight laptop for studying, work and entertainment. While HP’s launch announcement mentions configurations with up to an Intel Core 7 processor, the models currently listed on its India store use the Intel Core 5 320. This six-core, six-thread chip runs at up to 4.6GHz and includes an integrated NPU rated at 16 TOPS for supported AI workloads, alongside Intel integrated graphics.
Current configurations offer 8GB or 16GB of onboard LPDDR5 memory and 512GB of SSD storage. Since the memory is soldered and cannot be upgraded, buyers should consider the 16GB variants to future-proof their purchase if the budget allows.

The laptop features a 14-inch OLED display with a 1920 x 1200 resolution, 300 nits of brightness and 100 per cent DCI-P3 colour coverage. It also has a 16:10 aspect ratio, Gorilla Glass 3 protection, a touch-screen option, and a low-blue-light mode. The panel should deliver rich colours and deep contrast, but its brightness may be limiting in brightly lit environments.
The OmniBook 5 measures 11.77mm in thickness and weighs 1.16kg. It has an aluminium chassis, a 180-degree hinge, two USB-C ports with DisplayPort support and an HDMI 2.1 port. Other features include a 1080p FHD IR webcam, Poly Studio-tuned dual speakers with DTS Ultra, and a compact 65W USB-C GaN charger.
The laptop packs a 60Wh battery with fast charging support, which HP claims can take it to 50 per cent in around 30 minutes. HP also claims up to 42 hours of local video playback on a single charge, although actual battery life will vary with usage. The OmniBook 5 comes in Smoke Silver, Starlit Blue, Peony Pink and Soft Honeydew colour options.
HP ProBook 4 G2iS: features and specifications
The HP ProBook 4 G2iS targets small businesses and professionals who need a portable laptop for office work and hybrid setups. It features an aluminium chassis that measures 12mm in thickness and weighs as little as 1.18kg. It comes in three colours: Mist Silver, Atmospheric Blue and Eclipse Gray.
The laptop runs on up to Intel Core 7 processors with an integrated NPU that delivers up to 17 TOPS of AI performance. Buyers can configure it with up to 32GB of memory and 1TB of SSD storage, while the 14-inch 2.8K OLED display offers a sharper viewing experience for work and entertainment.
The ProBook 4 G2iS also packs a 70Wh battery and is MIL-STD durability certified. For video calls, it includes an FHD HDR camera with an IR sensor and dual microphones. HP’s AI-based noise reduction can also filter background sounds to make calls clearer.
Since HP designed this laptop for business users, it includes additional security features such as a physical camera privacy shutter, HP Drive Lock and HP Secure Erase. These tools give businesses more ways to protect user privacy and sensitive data.
Should you buy the HP OmniBook 5 and ProBook 4?
The HP OmniBook 5 is worth considering if you want a lightweight everyday laptop with an OLED display. The models currently listed on HP’s India store, however, use the Intel Core 5 320, while the Core 7 configurations mentioned in the launch announcement are yet to appear. The processor should handle routine productivity and multitasking, but this is not a laptop aimed at demanding workloads. We would recommend opting for a 16GB variant, as the memory is soldered and cannot be upgraded later.
At an effective price of around Rs 79,999 with eligible bank offers, the OmniBook 5 competes with the Dell 14S which launched recently, which also starts with an Intel Core 5 320. HP’s main advantage is its OLED display and lighter design, while Dell offers a brighter, higher-refresh-rate screen in its more expensive configuration. The OmniBook 5 makes more sense for buyers who prioritise display quality and portability. Users with iPhones may find Apple MacBook Neo a good alternative at a similar price.
The HP ProBook 4 G2iS, meanwhile, is for professionals who need a portable machine for work. Its higher starting price of Rs 86,000 plus taxes is accompanied by business-focused features such as HP Drive Lock, Secure Erase and a physical camera shutter, as well as MIL-STD durability testing. The Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 7 is a suitable alternative for the ProBook, starting at Rs 1,33,990. It offers a more traditional business laptop experience, although its WUXGA IPS display options are less premium than the ProBook’s 2.8K OLED panel.
