Laptop is very fast and the best for multi tasking. I would say this laptop has the best battery power in the industry. After using all day using this for patient documentation, I had 72% left. I can literally go 2 days without charging. I wouldn't choose this for a slim laptop. GREAT BUY
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wow John! Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear the OmniBook 5-16 is proving to be a true 'workhorse' for your patient documentation. Thank you for the vital work you do and for choosing HP to help you get it done. 💙
Keyboard light does not illuminate the character on the key. I returned the laptop.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Otto, we’re sorry to hear the keyboard visibility led to a return, as the OmniBook 5 does include a backlit keyboard (typically activated via the F5 key) to help in low-light settings. We understand how important clear key visibility is for your workflow and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.
The laptop is well built. Performance is good. Screen is amazing. The only minor issue is it shows the battery as percentage and not in hours.

Hi Vakar, thank you for the 5-star review! On the OmniBook 5, battery percentage is typically found on the Windows 11 taskbar, while estimated time remaining can be viewed under Settings > System > Power & battery. This display is managed by Windows rather than the hardware, but we appreciate your feedback on how you track your usage.
