HP OmniBook 5 14 vs Lenovo IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 16

The Lenovo IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 16 is the safer pick for most shoppers: a 16-inch touchscreen convertible with 32 GB of soldered LPDDR5X memory, a 1 TB SSD, a 1080p IR camera with privacy shutter, and USB-A plus USB-C and HDMI. The HP OmniBook 5 14 is far lighter at 2.9 lb and easier to carry, but its listed 256 GB drive and 14-inch 60Hz panel limit it as a main machine. Owners and reviewers tend to praise the IdeaPad's screen size and memory headroom while noting its 4.41 lb weight; the OmniBook's portability is its main draw.

• Choose the HP OmniBook 5 14 if you want a light 14-inch touchscreen laptop for carrying around and mostly light everyday work.
• Choose the Lenovo IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 16 if you want a bigger 2-in-1 screen, more storage and memory headroom, and a privacy shutter on the webcam.
