HP has launched two new AI-ready laptops in India, and the pricing is the part that will grab most buyers first. The student-focused OmniBook 5 14 starts at Rs 1,09,999, but with applicable affordability offers its effective price drops to Rs 79,999. The business-focused ProBook 4 G2iS 14 starts at Rs 86,000 plus taxes. Both are slim, light 14-inch machines with OLED screens and on-device AI engines, built for a day that moves between classroom, office and home.
HP OmniBook 5 14: built for students
The OmniBook 5 is the lighter, more colourful of the pair. It weighs 1.16 kg and measures 11.77 mm thick, so it slips into a backpack without much thought. It is powered by up to an Intel Core 7 processor with an integrated neural processing unit (NPU) rated at up to 16 TOPS, which handles AI tasks on the device itself rather than sending everything to the cloud.
The screen is a 14-inch OLED panel with 100 percent DCI-P3 colour coverage and HP Eye Ease technology, with a screen-to-body ratio of up to 90 percent. The hinge opens 180 degrees, useful for sharing the screen during group work, and the laptop carries two full-function USB-C ports. HP claims up to 42 hours of local video playback on a charge, a figure quoted for offline video rather than mixed everyday use.
Pre-bookings for the OmniBook 5 14 are open until November 10 through the HP Online Store and HP World stores, and sales begin on November 10 through HP and authorised retailers. It comes in Smoke Silver, Starlit Blue, Peony Pink and Soft Honeydew finishes. The effective Rs 79,999 price applies with applicable affordability offers; the sticker price remains Rs 1,09,999.
HP ProBook 4 G2iS 14: the business machine
The ProBook 4 G2iS is positioned as HP’s thinnest business notebook. It is 12 mm thick, weighs 1.18 kg and uses an aluminium chassis. Its 14-inch display is a sharper 2.8K OLED panel, and it runs on up to an Intel Core 7 processor with an NPU rated at up to 17 TOPS, a touch above the OmniBook 5.
Business buyers get up to 32 GB of memory and up to 1 TB of storage, a 70 Wh battery with HP Fast Charge, an FHD HDR infrared camera, AI-based noise reduction and dual microphones for video calls, plus MIL-STD-tested durability and HP Drive Lock security.
The ProBook 4 G2iS 14 starts at Rs 86,000 plus taxes. The Mist Silver variant goes on sale from November 6, while the Atmospheric Blue and Eclipse Gray options are expected by the end of December 2026.
What the two laptops share, and where they differ
- Same idea, different audience: both are 14-inch, AI-ready, OLED laptops with Intel Core 7 power, but the OmniBook 5 targets students and the ProBook targets businesses.
- Weight and thickness: the OmniBook 5 is 1.16 kg and 11.77 mm; the ProBook 4 G2iS is 1.18 kg and 12 mm. Both are genuinely portable.
- AI performance: the OmniBook 5 offers up to 16 TOPS of NPU performance, while the ProBook offers up to 17 TOPS.
- Displays: both use OLED, but the ProBook steps up to a 2.8K panel, while the OmniBook 5 emphasises colour coverage and eye comfort.
- Battery: HP claims up to 42 hours of local video playback for the OmniBook 5; the ProBook carries a 70 Wh battery with fast charging.
- Price: the OmniBook 5 starts at Rs 1,09,999 (Rs 79,999 effective with offers); the ProBook 4 G2iS starts at Rs 86,000 plus taxes.
Should you buy one?
For a student, the OmniBook 5 makes sense if the priority is a light machine with a great screen for classes, assignments and streaming, and if the Rs 79,999 effective price holds with the offers available at checkout.
For a small business or a professional who lives on video calls, the ProBook 4 G2iS is the more sensible pick: the sharper screen, stronger security features, bigger memory options and tougher build matter more in daily work than the OmniBook’s colour options.
Either way, both laptops show where the mainstream market is heading: AI features handled on the device, OLED screens no longer reserved for premium flagships, and weight under 1.2 kg becoming the norm.
