HP is positioning its new OmniBook 5 (14-inch) as a direct challenger to Apple's MacBook Neo, according to Tom's Hardware. The laptop is built around Intel's Wildcat Lake processor and will be offered in four color options, giving it a distinct, consumer-friendly identity in the budget segment.
The starting price of $699.99 places the OmniBook 5 well below typical premium ultraportables, while still promising modern silicon and a colorful design. Tom's Hardware reports that HP is "boarding the MacBook Neo competitor train," suggesting the company sees Apple's upcoming device as a key rival in this space.
As this is based on a single source, there are no conflicting reports to compare. The details—Wildcat Lake, four colors, and the $699.99 entry price—come directly from Tom's Hardware's coverage, and no further specifications or availability dates have been disclosed yet.
