Performance scores
HP Omnibook X 14 (2026)
The Omnibook X 14 (2026) is the x86 face of HP's new-name line: a Core Ultra 5 325 with Xe3 graphics and 32GB of RAM at $1,400. Unlike the integrated platforms that read as coverage gaps elsewhere in this batch, its Xe3 silicon arrives measured.
Where it holds up
The graphics score of 45.85 runs eleven-fold above the ultrabook-class median of 3.84 — the stated strength — and gaming at 75 lands in the high band — a reading shared only by its Xe3 platform siblings among this batch's integrated sheets. Photo design at 86 is top-tier, portability at 74.3 sits in the high band, overall performance at 56.02 beats the class median by 34%, and reliability at 70 holds a 37% cushion. Overwatch, Grand Theft Auto V and Rainbow Six Siege clear their recommended bars — measured proof behind the high gaming number.
Where it falls short
The stated weakness list is empty and the sheet backs it: no axis in this sheet drops into the low band. The honest costs are mid-tier ones — modeling and engineering CAD at 53, value at 35.5 — the quiet price of first-year platform pricing.
Price and depreciation
At $1,400 the 2026 ledger is empty — no depreciation has accumulated yet, and first-year exposure sits with the buyer.
Alternatives to consider
The 17-inch sibling of this same platform in this batch posts an identical task sheet at the same $1,400 — the choice is purely screen size against a portability gap of 74.3 versus 15.6. The OmniBook 3 14 (2026) carries the same Xe3 graphics with a lesser CPU for the same money.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. The rare integrated platform that arrives measured and high-band on gaming — with no low-band axis anywhere — bought at the usual new-platform premium.
