The HP OmniBook X is the best Copilot+ PC we’ve tested, and it just came out a few weeks ago. Bringing performance and battery life that puts the M3 MacBook Air to shame, this is easily our favorite Windows laptop — making the fact it’s already being discounted so shocking.

Right now, you can get $150 off the OmniBook X at HP, which drops the price down to just $999. This is a seriously good Prime Day-beating deal that won’t be around for long!

This monster of an ultraportable packs plenty of performance and power efficiency, thanks to that Snapdragon X Elite chip — all inside a slim and sleek aluminum chassis with a gorgeous 14-inch 2.2K display up top. Trust me when I say if you’re in the market for a Windows laptop, this is an amazing one to buy.

So let’s break down some of the lofty claims I made up top. Microsoft has been waiting for the moment it can finally start competing with the best MacBooks and their Apple silicon. That moment came with the Snapdragon X Elite processor, which has been capable of some true wizardry.

Said magic comes in the form of mightily impressive multi-threaded performance that puts the Cupertino crew on blast — outperforming it in a lot of our tests.

“But wait,” I hear you ask. “What about the battery life?” It’s become a bit of a running joke in the past that when performance is this good on a Microsoft machine, the battery life is just downright bad. OmniBook X is a leapfrog over our expectations in this category and lasts over a full hour longer than the Air.

And all of this capability is stuffed into a premium, slimline chassis that feels great to the touch with fantastic ergonomics and a beautiful display. Microsoft made some lofty claims about Copilot+ PCs, and the OmniBook X fulfills every single one of them. This deal will sell out fast, so snap it up now while you can!

    The best? Are you guys serious? That is the worst. The Surface Laptop 7 and Lenovo Slim 7x are MUCH better. The HP is the junkiest one out of all of them. I'm just going to assume this is just an ad and not incompetence, otherwise, I'm not sure how I can ever take this site seriously.
