HP OmniBook 3 14" Laptop — 2K 90Hz Display Plus a Year of Microsoft 365! $449.99 CAD (36% Off)

Best Buy currently has the HP OmniBook 3 14-inch laptop (AMD Athlon Silver 10 / 8GB / 256GB) for $449.99 CAD, down from $699.99 — 36% off. Orders over $35 ship free.

Let's be clear about what this is: an entry-level machine, not something for video editing or heavy software. An AMD Athlon Silver 10 dual-core processor, 8GB of onboard LPDDR5-5500, a 256GB SSD and Radeon 610M integrated graphics will handle browsing, Office, streaming and a dozen research tabs comfortably. Trying to run Photoshop alongside a pile of spreadsheets will not go well.

The real draw is the display and what comes in the box. The 14-inch IPS antiglare panel runs 1920 x 1200 (16:10, so more vertical room than 1080p) at 90Hz with 300 nits, an 88% screen-to-body ratio and AMD FreeSync support. Getting 2K-class resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate at this price is uncommon.

It also includes a one-year Microsoft 365 Personal subscription with 1TB of cloud storage, which sells for roughly $90 on its own — effectively trimming the real cost of the machine further. Windows 11 Home is preinstalled, so it works out of the box.

The chassis is 1.42 kg and 1.47 cm thick, small enough for a 13-inch laptop sleeve. Ports are generous for the class: two USB-C at 10Gbps with USB Power Delivery 3.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, two USB-A at 5Gbps, HDMI 2.1, a headphone/microphone combo jack and a card reader, plus Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4. The 41Wh battery is rated at 7.5 hours and charges over USB-C with the included GaN adapter.

The webcam is 1080p FHD with HDR auto-switching and dual array microphones, plus a privacy shutter and a mute key. Fingerprint and facial recognition both work for sign-in. The keyboard is bilingual with RGB lighting zones (the keys themselves aren't backlit). It's ENERGY STAR certified and EPEAT Silver rated.

At 3.7 stars across 30 reviews, buyers are telling you to calibrate expectations on performance and build. But if the brief is "cheap, good screen, handles homework and streaming, comes with Office," $449.99 is a hard package to argue with. The sale runs until November 13.
