- Is the HP OmniBook X 17.3 worth $1,399?
- If you want a big touchscreen with a numpad and Windows 11 Pro, it is a fair desk machine. At $1,399 with only one store pricing it new, there is little competition to push the price down.
- Is the 1080p screen sharp enough at 17.3 inches?
- It is usable, but 1920x1080 spread over 17.3 inches looks less crisp than smaller high-resolution laptops. Text is fine; fine detail and photos show visible pixels.
- Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?
- The 1 TB SSD is the part most likely to be serviceable. The 16 GB of memory on Core Ultra 7 thin laptops is often soldered, so treat 16 GB as fixed unless HP's service manual says otherwise.
- Does it come with Windows 11 Pro?
- Yes. It ships with Windows 11 Pro, which adds BitLocker, Remote Desktop hosting and domain join over the Home edition.
- Is it good for gaming?
- Only for light and older titles. The Core Ultra 7 256V uses integrated graphics, so demanding games will run at low settings and frame rates.
- How does it compare with a 16-inch OmniBook?
- The 17.3-inch model adds screen space and a numpad but weighs more. Choose it if the laptop mostly stays on a desk; pick a 14- or 16-inch model if you carry it daily.
