HP OmniBook 3 17-dk0765nr 17.3": problems, parts and running costs
Checked: 2026-10-18
Summary
Owners of the OmniBook 3 17 family report first-boot bloatware (McAfee and MyHP prompts) and a plastic chassis with weak stability, while the shared 17.3-inch panel covers only about 62% sRGB [2][3][8]. There is no running-cost data for this laptop and no subscription lock-in, only the trial software that ships with it [2].
Common problems and fixes
- First-boot bloatware — the most upvoted owner complaint for the family; McAfee and MyHP prompts appear before you do anything. A clean Windows install clears them. [8]
- Weak chassis stability — on the shared chassis the stability “leaves a lot to be desired” and the lid opens only with two hands to about 130 degrees. Handle the lid carefully; no owner fix reported. [3]
- Keyboard without backlighting — the AMD model has an unlit keyboard with an unconventional layout; backlighting is listed as optional on this Intel model. [3][5]
- Rickety touchpad — described as cheap-sounding when clicked. No fix reported. [3]
- Slow Wi-Fi module — the AMD model uses a MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 module described as slow by current standards. [3]
- Blurry webcam — the FHD camera was described as blurry despite its resolution. No fix reported. [3]

When it is a good buy
Newegg lists the exact 17-dk0765nr (Intel Core 7 150U, 16 GB, 512 GB) at $1,429.99 (Newegg, 2026) [2]. Family reviews put the useful range at $500-$600, with value thinning above $700-$800 and the exact Intel model facing stronger competition above $1,000 [9].
- The Snapdragon X model (16-bz0002xx), which starts at $530, is the better buy for battery life and is more compact at 16 inches. [4]
