OmniBook is a line of laptops originally made by Hewlett-Packard and currently sold by HP Inc., the 2015 successor to the original Hewlett-Packard.
The original OmniBook line was introduced in 1993 as a line of business-oriented laptops and subnotebooks. It was discontinued in 2002 following the acquisition of Compaq by Hewlett-Packard, with the Compaq Presario, HP Compaq, and HP Pavilion laptops succeeding the OmniBook line.
After 22 years of absence, the OmniBook line was revived as part of HP's rebranding of its PC product lines. The new "Omni" brand would be used for all consumer PCs (aside from Omen), with OmniBook for laptops, OmniDesk for desktop computers, and OmniStudio for all-in-one PCs. This new branding would replace the long-running Pavilion brand in use since 1995, among other brands.[1][2]
The new OmniBook line introduced since 2024 now targets the consumer market rather than the business market as was the case for the original OmniBook line from 1993–2002.
