The recently announced HP OmniBook X made an impressive debut in the revived OmniBook line A more powerful sibling may be on the horizon with the soon-to-be-announced HP OmniBook Ultra 14

AMD and Intel were conspicuously absent when Microsoft unveiled its Copilot + PC program in May, as the tech giant partnered with Qualcomm to use its Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus chips

AMD introduced its Ryzen AI 300 series, featuring 55 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of AI performance That's 10 TOPS more than Qualcomm's 45 TOPS the AMD chips will be integrated with AMD Radeon 800M graphics whether the AMD AI Ryzen chips are as powerful as Qualcomm's remains to be seen

The latest OmniBook will be HP's first laptop As confirmed by our sister site Tom's Hardware, it is the first Copilot+ PC with AMD's AI chip and the first HP consumer-grade laptop to run on an AMD processor with a Thunderbolt 4 port

Despite the different naming scheme, the Ultra 14 is very similar to the OmniBook X While the chassis appears identical, the Ultra 14 has angular corners on the back that may remind some of the recently discontinued HP Spectre line; the Ultra 14 is slightly heavier than the X, weighing nearly 35 pounds compared to the X's slim 297 pounds

In our battery tests, the HP OmniBook X lasted 16 hours and 22 minutes; the Ultra 14 should have an even larger battery than the X, so we look forward to seeing how it fares in our tests HP claims 13 hours in MobileMark and video playback of up to 21 hours

The OmniBook Ultra 14 has two USB Type-C ports, a USB Type-A port, and a 35mm headphone jack This is also similar to the X, but the Ultra will support Thunderbolt 4

The HP OmniBook Ultra 14 will be available in early August starting at $1,449; HP has not yet announced a specific date We are told that the OmniBook Ultra will not specifically be a Copilot+ PC at launch; instead, HP says it will release a free update, the timing and availability of which is up to Microsoft
