Chassis, connections, screen of the HP OmniBook Ultra 14-fd0001nf

With its meteor silver aluminum design, sandblasted anodized finish, this thin and light compact multimedia AI multimedia laptop PC has an elegant and discreet look.

For this type of laptop the connectivity is good and recent, including Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7 be wireless modules (more recent and efficient than Wi-Fi 6) to communicate and connect remotely, an audio port, 1 USB 3.0 ensuring transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 but also 2 USB-C Thunderbolt 4 for even faster transfers (4x faster than USB 'USB 3.0).
HDMI video output point on the other hand but you can always use an adapter USB-C to HDMI For example.

Fans of biometric authentication will be delighted to find a 2-factor solution here: a fingerprint reader as well as a webcam whose Infrared functionality allows facial recognition, all notably via Windows Hello.

Those most concerned about their privacy will appreciate being able to hide the webcam behind a shutter when they are not using it to protect their privacy.

When the keys are difficult to discern, you can obviously activate the backlighting of the chiclet keyboard.

The screen is adorned with 2.2K High Definition superior to Full HD while its 16/10th format displays more elements in height than the classic 16/9th.
Furthermore, it benefits from sRGB colorimetry that is more faithful than average as well as significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically, thanks to its IPS technology.
The screen has an anti-reflective treatment, however it is a little more subject to reflections in bright environments (e.g. outdoors) than a standard anti-reflective panel since it is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass protection.

Performance, battery life of the HP OmniBook Ultra 14-fd0001nf

The HP OmniBook Ultra 14-fd0001nf may appeal to those who wish to acquire a portable High Definition compact High Fidelity laptop computer that performs in AI-oriented multimedia and offers a large storage capacity.

As easy to carry as an Ultrabook because it is compact, thin and light, it will delight nomads like some who wish to have a Student laptop since its autonomy is around 10 hours on battery in light use.

Creators and more generally those who need a large storage capacity will be delighted to find a 2000 GB SSD on board, which is double the average. Because you can easily install and store multiple software and files, including why not a personal production.

Silent, energy efficient and shock resistant, an SSD also offers high speed which clearly enhances responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis.

Thanks to the SSD, starts/stops, processing and launches of applications are fast, as is the arrival on the cards of online games.

Be careful, however: no dedicated graphics card is present in this laptop which does not target gamers.
However, thanks to the benefits of the Radeon 880M solution inserted in the processor, watching photos and HD videos is possible, as is playing light to modest games… subject to concessions.
Clearly we are thinking of a reduction in screen definition since playing in 2.2K requires more calculations than playing in Full HD, which implies a lower number of fps.

The Radeon 880M finds its place in the Ryzen AI 9 365, the latest generation AMD processor Strix Point oriented Artificial Intelligence which is here supported by a quantity of RAM of 32 GB which is twice as high as the average.

We thus obtain solid general performance, the potential of this core revealing itself in areas requiring CPU and RAM resources taking advantage of multi-core (and AI), such as photo editing or video editing.
So multimedia processing is carried out here faster than with a classic Quad/Hexa Core and 16/24 GB DDR4/5.
On this subject, we invite you to consult our test dedicated to the Asus Zenbook S 16 OLED with Ryzen AI to form an opinion on the potential of this type of processor based on your personal needs.

Finally, if the noise is contained when this versatile multimedia laptop PC is pushed hard (e.g.: processing) with regard to its configuration, it heats up in these conditions, its temperatures being controlled.
If necessary, we can add a ventilated support to limit its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
