The HP OmniBook 7 Laptop Next Gen AI PC 17t-dc000, 17.3″ Touch Screen is marked down to $659.99 right now, which means you save $640.00 off the regular price. For a 17.3 inch touch laptop with an Intel Core Ultra 7 chip and a dedicated Intel Arc 140V GPU, that price is pretty low for what you get. If you have been using an older laptop or a small 13 or 14 inch screen, this feels more like a portable desktop. You get Windows 11 Home out of the box, so you do not have to mess with upgrades right away, and if you care about Pro features for work later, this line does have options that step up to Windows 11 Pro.
The main draw here is the mix of processor, graphics, and memory at this price. The Intel Core Ultra 7 256V can boost up to 4.8 GHz and has 8 cores with 8 threads, which is plenty for everyday work, school, light video editing, a lot of browser tabs, and some gaming. The Intel Arc 140V GPU with 8 GB of VRAM is a good plus if you do anything like photo editing, casual gaming, or want smoother graphics than basic built in graphics. You also get 16 GB of onboard memory, which is a good sweet spot right now and should feel fine for most people for a few years. If you ever look at the higher trim versions, there are options with more RAM and even RTX 4050 graphics, so this is part of a higher end family, even if you are grabbing the cheaper config.
Storage and the screen are also strong for the sale price. You get a 512 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, which means fast boot times and quick app loading. For most people, half a terabyte holds a lot of apps, files, and games, and if you need more, this model line offers 1 TB and 2 TB builds, so you know it is meant to handle bigger drives. The 17.3 inch display is full HD at 1920 x 1080, with IPS tech, touch support, and 400 nits of brightness. That means you can tap and swipe your way through Windows, use it on the couch like a big tablet with a keyboard, and still read the screen in brighter rooms. The edge to edge glass and thin micro-edge borders help keep the overall footprint a bit smaller for a 17 inch machine, helped by an 86% screen to body ratio.
If you want a laptop that can double as your main home computer without paying premium money, this deal makes sense. You get a large, bright touch screen that feels good for streaming, spreadsheets, and side by side windows, a modern Intel Ultra chip for AI and heavy tasks, a dedicated Arc GPU for visual work and games, and enough RAM and SSD space for real day to day use, all for $659.99. Saving $640 off the regular price puts it in the same price range as many smaller, weaker 15 inch budget models, so you are getting a lot more power and screen for the money. If your current laptop feels slow, cramped, or you want something that can handle both work and play without breaking the bank, this HP OmniBook 7 Next Gen AI PC is a solid deal to grab while the 49% off discount lasts.
