₹189,999 to match its premium appeal. But is it truly worth the investment? Dive into our full review to see how it performs in real-world use and if it’s the right choice for you.The HP Omnibook Ultra is a gorgeous laptop. It carries over the same sleek design from the Spectre x360, which launched earlier this year, featuring diamond-cut corners and rounded edges.

The overall look and feel are premium, and the smooth contours make it comfortable to hold in your hand. The aluminium chassis looks stunning from every angle, giving it a high-end feel, though the finish does attract fingerprints quite easily. Weighing just 1.8 kilograms, it’s light enough to carry around, whether you’re using a backpack or just carrying it by hand.The hinge is a bit on the tight side, so you won’t be able to open the lid with one hand, but that’s a necessary trade-off given the 360-degree hinge design.

It has to be like that to ensure the stability of the flip function. There is a slight wobble when adjusting the display, which again, is something you can’t really avoid with this type of hinge. Since the laptop is ultra-thin, the lid does have a bit of flex, but surprisingly, the deck feels pretty solid with very little flex.

These are small things, but they’re worth mentioning.I know it might seem like I’m nitpicking, but the port situation is a bit underwhelming. On the left side, you get a USB Type-C port and a headphone jack, while on the right side, there are two Thunderbolt 4 ports. While this is good for modern connectivity, the absence of a USB Type-A port feels like something is missing.
