Compare HP Laptops

HP has moved most of its home laptops into one range called OmniBook, replacing Pavilion, Envy and Spectre. The number tells you the level: OmniBook 3 and 5 are everyday laptops, OmniBook 7 steps up, and OmniBook X and Ultra are the premium thin models. Flip in the name means the screen folds back into a tablet. You’ll still find older Pavilion and Envy models here, labelled as older generations.

HP Laptop models such as the HP 14 and HP 15 are the budget range. They handle browsing and documents, but the cheapest come with 4 GB of memory and Windows in S mode, which only runs apps from the Microsoft Store until you switch it off.

Watch the screen on cheaper HPs. Some use panels HP calls SVA, a basic type where colours fade when you look from an angle, and we show the panel type on every spec sheet. If you’ll watch a lot on it, pick an IPS or OLED model instead. HP’s Chromebooks are mostly simple 4 GB school models, fine for Google Classroom and browsing.

For work, EliteBook is HP’s premium business line and ProBook the mid-range one. The ones we list are renewed ex-office laptops, including several EliteBook x360 1040 G8s, 14-inch 2-in-1s with pen support that still feel premium for study and office work. For gaming, Victus is the way in and OMEN the step up, with the OMEN Slim for carrying and the OMEN MAX 16 for the fastest graphics. Compare them in our gaming laptops finder.
