Full research notes and sources

Design and build

The all-aluminum chassis is rigid and premium-feeling, with a color-matched latticeless keyboard. The bottom panel has a concave platform design that lifts the laptop off the desk. The touchpad runs nearly the full width from keyboard to laptop edge with haptic feedback. However, the sharp, squared-off edges dig into hands and thighs when carrying or using the laptop on your lap, and the polished edges scratch easily.

Display and performance

The 14-inch 3K OLED touch display at 120 Hz delivers vibrant colors and deep blacks. CNET measured 462 nits peak brightness against a 500-nit rating. The Intel Core Ultra 7 356H processor handles everyday tasks and light creative work. CNET’s testing of the higher-end Core Ultra X9 388H config showed strong Geekbench 6 multi-core scores of 16,534 and Cinebench 2024 multi-core scores of 788. Gaming is possible at 1080p with Intel Arc graphics, reaching 72 fps in Guardians of the Galaxy and 59 fps in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Battery life and connectivity

CNET’s YouTube streaming test reached 17 hours 21 minutes for the Intel model. PCMag’s 2024 review of the older AMD version measured 21 hours 28 minutes on a 720p local video rundown, but that figure applies to a different generation with a different chassis and display. The laptop has three Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports and a headphone jack, but no USB-A or HDMI, requiring adapters for many peripherals. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 provide the latest wireless standards.

Is it worth it?

At $1,200-1,400, the HP OmniBook Ultra 14 offers strong value for a thin-and-light OLED laptop with all-aluminum build, excellent keyboard, and 17+ hour battery life. At $1,700 list, the value proposition weakens considerably, as competitors like the Dell XPS 14, Lenovo Yoga 7i, and Asus Zenbook S 14 offer similar or better packages. The exact kd0047nr street price at time of research could not be verified. HP’s pricing fluctuates wildly, so waiting for a discount is advisable.
