HP’s MacBook Neo Competitor Might Cost You More Than You Think
From the jump, HP wants you to know the OmniBook 5 starts at just $700, the same opening cost of the Apple MacBook Neo. However, that price only accounts for 8GB of LPDDR5-6400 MT/s RAM. If you look on HP’s store page, that’s the only config currently available.
