Microsoft’s big Copilot+ PC initiative only just launched, but we’re already seeing the first deals from some top-name hardware makers. HP’s new OmniBook X, its first Snapdragon X Elite laptop is already $200 off this week at HP Store and Best Buy, bringing that price down from $1,199 to just $999.
These new Snapdragon X laptops are incredible, offering all-day battery life and great performance. We’ve already reviewed a handful of them, and we’re reviewing the HP OmniBook X as we speak. We think it’s an excellent addition to the Copilot+ PC market, and for $200 off it’s a no-brainer.
Today’s top Amazon Prime Day deals
What is a Copilot+ PC?
Copilot+ PCs is a new initiative from Microsoft and its hardware partners designed to push Windows devices into a new era with all-day battery life, great performance, and AI experiences as three key pillars. The first wave of Copilot+ PCs launched on June 18 from Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Microsoft and more.
The HP OmniBook X is the first we’ve seen to go on sale for less than RRP, thanks to Amazon Prime Day and related sales happening this week. Given these devices have only been on the market for a month, a $200 saving this early on is a stellar deal for a top-end Snapdragon X Elite device with 16GB RAM and 1TB storage.
Is the HP OmniBook X any good?
The HP OmniBook X is a high-end flagship laptop, featuring a gorgeous 14.4-inch 2.2K IPS glass touch display, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD storage, and the Snapdragon X Elite SoC with 45 TOPS NPU. This NPU enables some of the new Copilot+ AI experiences, including on-device image generation in Photos and Paint, as well as Windows Recall, which is coming later this year.
It also features a full-sized backlit keyboard that’s great to type on and a large precision trackpad that’s easy to use. There are dual speakers too which offer good sound, and a 5MP webcam for video calls. The device is also quite light, coming in at just under 3lbs making it a great travel laptop.
We’ve also got I/O in the form of 1x USB-A, 1x 3.5mm audio jack, and 2x USB-C ports. Overall, this really is an ultrabook-level laptop, and you’re getting a lot for your money at $999 while this deal is active. So don’t miss it!
