Memorial Day is tomorrow. There are great deals everywhere you look, and if you're in the market for a new laptop, you're in luck because I found one of the best. The HP OmniBook 5 is currently on sale at the brand's official storefront for $530. That's 40% off its original price.
This deal is for a specific configuration of the OmniBook 5. It houses a Qualcomm Snapdragon X processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. HP has multiple other discounted builds on its website. Another OmniBook 5 configuration that I recommend includes an Intel Core i5-1334U, 8GB of RAM, and a 512TB SSD for $460. While it costs a bit more, the second model's more powerful hardware is perfect for users who plan on multitasking heavily.
When I reviewed the OmniBook 5 last year, I called it one of the most compelling lightweight laptops of 2025, and that remains true even in 2026. It's a great alternative to the MacBook Air.
