MagyarHP OmniBook returns: Leaker reveals images of rumoured Qualcomm Snapdragon X laptop after 22 year series absence
It seems that various laptop OEMs are embracing Qualcomm's Snapdragon X platform. In summary, details about the following machines have turned up online so far in various forms:
Ultimately, the list above covers the majority of major Windows laptop manufacturers. There are plenty of other notable companies within the Windows laptop market though, including but not limited to Acer, HP, LG and Razer. However, there have been few signs that these four are close to unveiling their own Snapdragon X-powered machines.
With that being said, Roland Quandt has now provided evidence that HP could be returning to a long-lost brand to showcase Qualcomm's first-generation Snapdragon X chipsets. As the images below show, HP has created a new OmniBook laptop, 22 years after the series' last release. In short, the laptop looks like plenty of other modern ultrabooks, including the MacBook Air 13 (curr. $999 on Amazon).
Specifically, the new HP OmniBook has a wider trackpad, a six-row keyboard and minimal I/O. Moreover, it appears that HP has equipped the laptop with a 14-inch display, which is sandwiched by relatively thick top and bottom bezels. Unfortunately, Quandt has not provided any detailed specifications yet, including its processor options. Nonetheless, HP's focus on including AI branding implies that it has chosen the Qualcomm Snapdragon X series, which could be a requirement for Windows 11's forthcoming 'AI Explorer'.
