Built with an Intel Core Ultra 7 255U processor, the OmniBook 3 is capable of better power efficiency and faster multitasking than previous versions. ZDNET laptop reviewer Cesar Cadenas was able to get an impressive 28 hours of use out of the OmniBook 3 on a single charge, making it one of the longest-lasting Windows laptops we've tested.

How I rated this deal

Saving almost 50% on a solid midrange laptop is already an attractive deal for anyone looking to upgrade or replace their home computer or pick up a laptop for school and college. But being able to bundle in a smart TV, monitor, and other back-to-school essentials for under $100 makes it a one-stop option for outfitting your home office or dorm. That's why I gave this deal a 5/5 Editor's rating.
