HP OmniBook Ultra 14 review: Ryzen AI 300 delivers again

The HP OmniBook Ultra 14 is a well-designed, solid piece of mostly silver metal on the parts of the laptop you’ll touch.

AMD ’s Ryzen AI 300 series processors deliver long battery life in real-world use with excellent performance.

There are several variations of this PC, including a “top of the line” model with an AMD AI 9 HX 375 CPU , 32 GB of RAM , and 2 TB of solid-state storage.

The HP OmniBook Ultra 14 has a full-size keyboard with a backlight you can toggle off and on.

The screen looks good, although it could offer more brightness.

The laptop’s quad-speaker setup is one of the better speaker configurations I’ve heard on a 14-inch laptop.

Laptop speakers will always be fighting an uphill battle, but these are solid speakers.

The HP OmniBook Ultra 14 delivered excellent performance in desktop productivity apps thanks to its modern AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 processor combined with 32 GB of RAM and a 2 TB solid-state drive.

On the right side, you’ve got two USB Type-C (Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 40Gbps ) ports — one of which is on the angled edge.

This laptop features both an IR camera for facial recognition and a fingerprint sensor.
