HP has officially released the OmniBook 3 series, a new line of rebranded consumer laptops. These laptops are meant to offer powerful performance with built-in artificial intelligence (AI) features at a price that most people can afford. The OmniBook 3 and its sibling, the OmniBook 5, were announced in India on July 7, 2025. They are aimed at students, professionals, and regular people who want reliable computers with AI features. The OmniBook 3 starts at ₹69,999 and brings next-generation technology to people on a budget. This is part of HP’s plan to bring all of its consumer laptops under the OmniBook brand.
A New Era for HP Laptops
The OmniBook 3 series is part of HP’s larger effort to rebrand its laptops. The company is getting rid of older lines like Pavilion, Envy, and Spectre and replacing them with a single OmniBook name for all of its consumer laptops. HP is bringing back the OmniBook name, which was used for business laptops from 1993 to 2002. The OmniBook 3 is the lowest-priced model in a line that also includes the OmniBook 5, 7, X, and Ultra. This relaunch focuses on AI integration, which is in line with the industry’s push for next-generation AI PCs.
The OmniBook 3 comes in 14-inch and 15.6-inch sizes and is only powered by AMD Ryzen AI processors. These processors have dedicated Neural Processing Units (NPUs) that can do 45 to 50 trillion operations per second (TOPS). These processors make it possible for AI tasks to be done on the device, which improves the performance of apps like video editing, multitasking, and secure file analysis while still being energy efficient.
Important Features of the OmniBook 3
The OmniBook 3 series is practical because it is affordable and performs well. Here’s a list of its most important specs and features:
Both the 14-inch and 15.6-inch models have Full1980 x 1080 IPS displays that don’t flicker, have an anti-glare coating, and can be as bright as 300 nits. The 15.6-inch version has a separate number pad for people who need to be more productive with numbers.
Performance: The OmniBook 3 can handle everyday tasks and light creative work with ease thanks to its AMD Ryzen AI processors (Ryzen AI 7H 350, Ryzen AI 5 H 340, Ryzen AI 7 350, or Ryzen AI 5 340) and built-in AMD Radeon 860M or 840M graphics. The dedicated NPU speeds up AI-powered features like Microsoft’s Copilot+ PC experiences, which let you customize your experience and use it offline.
Memory and Storage: The configurations can have up to 32GB of DDR5 RAM or LPDDR5x in 16GB or 24GB sizes, along with PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSDs that come in sizes of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB. This guarantees enough space and the ability to do more than one thing at once for school, work, or fun.
Battery Life: The OmniBook 3 has a 41Wh battery that can be charged at 45W, so it can be used all day without needing to be plugged in. It has HP Sleep and Charge, USB-C Power Delivery, and DisplayPort 1.4 for extra convenience.
There is a USB-C port, two USB-A ports, an HDMI 1.4b port, a headphone jack, and an AC input port in the series. It also has Wi-Fi 7 and an HP True Vision HD camera (720p or 1080p) with two microphones and noise cancellation for clear video calls.
Sustainability: HP focuses on eco-friendly design by using recycled metals and plastics that have already been used. The OmniBook 3 is EPEAT Gold with Climate+ and ENERGY STAR certified, which shows that the company cares about lowering its impact on the environment.
Software: The OmniBook 3 comes with Windows 11 or Windows 11 Pro and includes Microsoft’s Copilot+ AI chatbot and Windows Studio Effects to help you work and collaborate better.
Productivity with AI
The AMD Ryzen AI processor’s NPU gives the OmniBook 3 its AI capabilities, which set it apart from other laptops. This lets AI work on the device itself, which means that tasks like analyzing files, making content, and automating workflows don’t need to be done in the cloud as much. HP AI Companion and Poly Camera Pro are two features that make using the device better by giving users quick answers, safe data handling, and better video calls. Users can get free updates from Microsoft that add Copilot+ PC experiences, which makes tasks even easier.
The OmniBook 3’s AI tools make boring tasks easier, improve workflows, and make using the computer a smooth experience for both students and professionals. It is great for use on the go, whether in classrooms, offices, or remote locations, because it is light (exact weight not given, but it is noted for being portable) and has a long battery life.
Design and Construction
The OmniBook 3 has a sleek, modern look that doesn’t get in the way of how well it works. The laptops come in Glacier Silver and have a strong chassis that can handle daily use. The 15.6-inch model has a separate number pad, which is a nice touch for people who need to enter data or do financial work. The 14-inch model, on the other hand, is all about being small. Both models have the same port configurations, which means they can be used in a variety of ways without losing their portability.
HP cares about the environment, and that shows in the way the OmniBook 3 is made. It is made with recycled materials to have less of an impact on the environment. The laptops have also been tested to US military standards, which means they can withstand drops, humidity, and very high and low temperatures.
Cost and Availability
The OmniBook 3 series starts at ₹69,999 in India, which makes it one of HP’s cheapest laptops with AI. HP hasn’t said how much each configuration will cost, but their official store has free shipping and the chance to save money through HP Rewards (3–6% back). You can buy the laptops directly from HP or from some stores, like Best Buy. For example, the OmniBook 3 NGAI 15 (15.6-inch, Ryzen AI 7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) is available for pickup or delivery right away.
The Market and the Competition
The OmniBook 3 comes out in a market where AI PCs are becoming the norm. HP is going after budget-conscious customers by selling AMD Ryzen AI processors for less than competitors like the OmniBook X (which starts at $1,169.99 in the US). They do this without giving up on modern features. People on X are excited about the OmniBook 3’s low price and AI integration, and they say it’s good for both work and play.
The OmniBook 3 is a great choice because it has a good mix of price, performance, and AI features compared to other laptops like the Apple MacBook Air or the ASUS Zenbook A14. But its 41Wh battery is smaller than that of some competitors, like the MacBook Air’s 52.6Wh battery. This could affect how long the battery lasts when you have a lot of work to do.
In conclusion
The OmniBook 3 series from HP is a big step toward making AI-powered computers available to everyone. It has AMD Ryzen AI processors, a bright Full HD display, and a design that lasts, making it perfect for students, professionals, and casual users who want performance and value. The OmniBook 3 is a strong competitor in the entry-level laptop market, with a starting price of ₹69,999. However, there isn’t much information available about the prices of specific configurations. The OmniBook 3 is a good start for making AI-driven innovation more accessible as HP continues to release its OmniBook line.
