Our Verdict
Microsoft Surface Laptop 7th Edition 15 (2024)
HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 (2024)
The HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 (2024) and the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7th Edition 15 (2024) are both great ultraportables that deliver an excellent user experience. Each has its pros and cons. The OmniBook Ultra is more versatile since it's a 2-in-1 you can use as a tablet, and it supports pen input if you want to take handwritten notes or draw. On the other hand, the Surface Laptop has a significantly longer battery life. The displays trade blows: the OmniBook's OLED panel looks nicer, as it can produce deeper blacks, but it doesn't get nearly as bright as the Surface Laptop's IPS panel, and it's susceptible to permanent burn-in. The most notable difference between these two laptops is the SoC. The Surface Laptop sports an ARM-based chip with better multi-thread performance than the OmniBook's Intel Lunar Lake SoCs. However, many apps don't run natively on an ARM processor, so make sure you check for compatibility first.
