HP launches $700 OmniBook 5 to rival MacBook Neo

HP has introduced the OmniBook 5, a new Windows laptop priced at $699 and aiming to compete with Apple’s budget MacBook Neo. Every model comes with a 14-inch OLED display—unusual for this segment—though the launch version’s screen maxes out at 300 nits brightness. HP offers the laptop in four colors and, like the Neo, starts it at 8GB of RAM. Key details on processor and storage are still unclear.

Why it mattersThe OmniBook 5 brings OLED displays to sub-$700 laptops, challenging Apple’s push for affordable premium machines. Lack of detail on specs means value is still an open question for buyers who want more than a low price tag.
