HP’s OmniBook 3 14-inch OLED Aims at MacBook Neo, Priced at $599

HP has dropped a new 14-inch laptop, the OmniBook 3 (14-hz0488nr), at $599, packing an OLED display, a 60Wh battery rated for up to about 41.75 hours, 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. It uses a Snapdragon X1-26-100 chip, offers multiple ports (two USB-A, HDMI 2.1, two USB-C), a 1080p webcam with privacy shutter, and Wi‑Fi 6E, weighing about 3.13 lb. Availability includes Best Buy (often discounted) and Amazon, with HP’s store pricing higher at $749.99. HP markets it as a more feature-rich, cheaper alternative to the MacBook Neo, though brightness is lower (300 nits vs 500) and some performance metrics favor the Neo in other areas.
