Product Code Database
OmniBook is a brand for a line of laptop computers originally produced by Hewlett-Packard and currently marketed by its successor, HP Inc. HP first introduced the brand as a line of business-oriented laptops and notebooks produced between 1993 and 2002.
Following a rebranding of its product lines in 2024, HP Inc., the successor company of the original Hewlett-Packard, reintroduced the brand name as part of the Omni brand of computers that year, coexisting with (and succeeding) the previous HP Spectre, HP Envy, HP Pavilion and HP Essential lines, effectively becoming a singular brand for all consumer-oriented laptops produced by the company.
The relaunched OmniBook line (as well as the HP Omni brand) is part of a new emerging platform called AI PCs, which are designed for the next generation of computing. All OmniBook laptops made since 2024 featured artificial intelligence technology integrated into the hardware and software.
In 2024, HP (as HP Inc.) announced its intentions on rebranding their consumer line of PCs, with the new Omni branding being used for all consumer PCs except for HP Omen (with OmniBook for laptops, OmniDesk for desktop computers, and OmniStudio for all-in-one PCs). It would coexist with (and replace) the long-running Pavilion brand in use since 1995 among other brands. The new Omni brand tailors for the next generation of computers with artificial intelligence, featuring AI-powered hardware and software.
As part of the new Omni branding that year, HP repurposed the old OmniBook name that had been used for its former line of business-oriented laptops in the 1990s for a new line of next generation AI-powered laptops manufactured by HP, reviving the historic nameplate that had been absent for 22 years.
The current OmniBook line since 2024 consisted of various models grouped into five different grades: 3, 5, 7, X, and Ultra, with Ultra representing the highest-grade model and 3 representing the lowest-grade model. Other HP computers under the Omni brand (OmniStudio and OmniDesk) follows the same format. , the X features Qualcomm Snapdragon processors (specifically the Snapdragon X), the 5, 7 and Ultra features Ryzen or Intel Core processors, and the 3 exclusively features AMD Ryzen processors. All models of the OmniBook line (as well as the OmniDesk and OmniStudio lines) featured processors with AI technology, dedicated neural processing units (NPUs) for accelerating AI applications and featured Microsoft's Copilot chatbot software as part of a standard installation of Windows.

The OmniBook 300 came with slimmed-down copies of MS-DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1. Due to storage limitations, the OmniBook 300 includes both Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word pre-installed in ROM, a practice that still remains unusual even to this day. The “International English” version of the OmniBook 300 used code page 850 (rather than the more common code page 437) as hardware code page.
The OmniBook X came pre-installed with Windows 11 and includes the Copilot AI chatbot, Windows Studio Effects, and Poly Studio audio tuning. The OmniBook X is compliant with Microsoft's Copilot+ PC platform marketing brand, with also includes the addition of a dedicated Copilot key on the keyboard replacing the menu key found in previous keyboards.
