HP Laptops: OmniBook 3 to Ultra, HyperX OMEN, EliteBook

HP sells its home laptops as OmniBook, in five tiers (3, 5, 7, X and Ultra), its gaming laptops as HyperX OMEN, and its work laptops as ProBook and EliteBook. Envy is now OmniBook X, Spectre is now OmniBook Ultra, and the Pavilion laptops became OmniBook 5 and 7. On HP’s US store on 25 October 2026 the lowest OmniBook list prices ran from $599.99 in the bottom tier to $1,819.99 in the top one.

Every price below is the MSRP on HP’s US store, read on 25 October 2026. HP was running a sale, and many laptops showed a lower price beside the MSRP; where that matters we say so.

The names at a glance

Name	What it is, per HP	Old name	Listings on HP’s store	Lowest MSRP
HP Laptop	Everyday 14 and 15-inch, filed as “Essential”	—	47	$649.99 (in stock)
OmniBook 3	Lowest OmniBook number; “built for everyday tasks”	—	42	$599.99
OmniBook 5	“Versatile performance for work, school, entertainment”	Pavilion x360	47	$949.99

ProBook	Business, SMB tier	—	109	$1,639
EliteBook	Business, higher tiers	—	172	$1,709

The rules behind the names come from HP’s 2024 brand change. Omni marks consumer PCs and Elite and Pro mark commercial ones; each name carries a number from 2 to 10, with 10 written as X. Odd numbers are consumer, even numbers are commercial, and in HP’s words, “As the numbers increase, so do the design, device features, and overall performance mix.” Ultra, HP says, “denotes our most premium offerings”. Flip marks a convertible.

OmniBook: the numbers in practice

	OmniBook 3	OmniBook 5	OmniBook 7	OmniBook X	OmniBook Ultra
Lowest-MSRP model	14-hu0016nr	16T-CF000	Flip 16-au0017nr	Flip 14z-kc000	14t-kd000
MSRP	$599.99	$949.99	$1,399.99	$1,399.99	$1,819.99
Price shown in the sale	$599.99	$599.99	$1,399.99	$1,399.99	$1,819.99
Chip	Intel N-series	Intel Core 5 120U	Intel Core Ultra 5	AMD Ryzen AI 5 430	Intel Core Ultra 7 356H
Memory, storage	4GB, 256GB	8GB, 256GB	16GB, 512GB	16GB, 512GB	16GB, 512GB
Screen	14-inch 2K	16-inch 1920×1200	16-inch 2K touch	14-inch	14-inch 3K

In this comparison HP labels the cheapest OmniBook 7, X and Ultra as Copilot+ PCs but not the cheapest OmniBook 3 and 5, and the cheapest OmniBook 7, X and Ultra have 16GB of memory. Higher OmniBook numbers do not always cost more: the cheapest OmniBook 5 in the sale matched the cheapest OmniBook 3, and the cheapest OmniBook 7 and OmniBook X had the same MSRP.

The tiers also overlap in chips. HP’s store sells OmniBook 3 models with Snapdragon X and AMD Ryzen AI processors as well as the Intel N-series one in the table, so the number tells you the tier, not the processor.

HP announced a new OmniBook 5 on 1 October, with up to a 2.5K OLED touch display, up to an Intel Core 7 and a 1.16 kg design. The release gives a starting price of $699 but only “up to” figures for the specs, so what the base model includes is not stated.

The plain HP Laptop line sits below the numbered tiers on HP’s store, filed under “Essential”. Several of its cheapest listings were out of stock on 25 October; the cheapest one in stock, the 14t-ep200, has an Intel N150, 8GB of memory and a 14-inch 1366×768 screen.

Gaming: OMEN is now HyperX OMEN

Name	Lowest-MSRP model	MSRP	Graphics in that model
Victus	15-fb3025nr, 15.6-inch	$1,499.99	Not on the listing
HyperX OMEN	15-gb0000, 15.3-inch	$1,599.99	GeForce RTX 5050
HyperX OMEN MAX	16z-ak100, 16-inch	$2,699.99	GeForce RTX 5070
OMEN MAX (older badge)	16-ak0047nr, 16-inch	$2,699.99	GeForce RTX 5070

On 5 January 2026 HP said “HyperX and OMEN are officially coming together under one master gaming brand: HyperX.” New HP gaming laptops carry both names, and some older stock on HP’s store is still badged plain OMEN. HyperX’s gaming headsets are set out in which HyperX headset is which. HP’s store listed one Victus laptop on 25 October.

For the HyperX OMEN MAX 16 (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab), HP says it goes up to an RTX 5090 Laptop GPU and 300W of total platform power, with a third fan and what HP calls Fan Cleaner technology, which it says improves cooling efficiency automatically. Why a laptop fan gets loud covers what makers say about fan noise. Outlets’ scores for gaming laptops are in our gaming laptop shortlist.

Business: ProBook and EliteBook

Name	Tiers	Lowest-MSRP model on HP’s store	MSRP
ProBook	Older name	ProBook 465 G11, 16-inch	$1,639
ProBook	4	ProBook 4 G1q, 14-inch	$1,938
EliteBook	8	EliteBook 8 G2i, 14-inch	$1,709
EliteBook	X	EliteBook X G2q	$2,149
EliteBook	6	EliteBook 6 G1q	$2,550

The business lines use HP’s even numbers. HP’s October release describes the ProBook 4 (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) as “purpose-built for SMBs and mobile professionals” and calls it HP’s thinnest business notebook, at 12mm and from 2.6 lb, with a 14-inch 2.8K OLED display.

Two things about the store’s business prices. They come bundled with a three-year warranty and HP’s Wolf Pro Security, and on 25 October the cheapest EliteBook 6 cost more than the cheapest EliteBook 8, so the numbers did not line up with price. Older names such as ProBook 465 G11 and EliteBook 840 G11 were still on sale.

For the other big Windows makers, Dell’s lineup went back to the XPS name in 2026, and Lenovo’s laptop families split into Think for work and Legion and LOQ for games, and Asus’s laptop names run from Vivobook to ROG. Microsoft’s own range is set out in which Surface is which.
