HP OmniBook X Review: Premium design with top battery life, but the display holds it back
HP OmniBook X (14-fe0121QU) Review: If you had talked about thin and light, work-oriented AI PCs roughly a year ago, you'd have struggled to name any. However, recently, companies like HP have forayed into the world of ARM-powered laptops, which focus on two things more than anything else: first is battery life, and the second is offering a portable form factor that is easy to carry on a day-to-day basis.
