Performance scores
HP Omnibook X 17 (2026)
The Omnibook X 17 (2026) shares its sibling's exact platform — Core Ultra 5 325 with Xe3 graphics and 32GB of RAM — at the same $1,400, but stretches it over a 17-inch canvas. Same engine, same sheet, half the portability.
Where it holds up
The graphics score of 45.85 runs eleven-fold above the ultrabook-class median of 3.84, and gaming at 75 lands in the high band — identical readings to the 14-inch sibling and the clearest demonstration that the platform, not the chassis, carries them. Photo design at 86 is top-tier, light office work at 84.85 sits high, and overall performance at 56.02 beats the class median by a third. Overwatch, Grand Theft Auto V and Rainbow Six Siege clear their recommended bars.
Where it falls short
Mobility at 25 is the stated weakness — 61% below the ultrabook-class median of 64 — and portability at 15.6 sits in the low band, the second-lowest reading in this batch. Weight at 2.34kg runs 60% above the class median of 1.46. Value at 35.5 is mid-tier, and the creative axes hold mid-band at 53 — capable, never exceptional.
Price and depreciation
At $1,400 the 2026 ledger is empty: no depreciation has accumulated yet, so first-year exposure sits with the buyer.
Alternatives to consider
The 14-inch sibling in this batch posts the identical task sheet with portability of 74.3 instead of 15.6 — the size-versus-carry decision reduced to two numbers. The OmniBook 7 16 (2025) offers a middle path at $168 less with a bigger capability tail.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. High-band gaming and top-tier photo work that ignore the chassis size — bought with the batch's second-lowest portability reading. The screen is the product; everything else is the cost.
