TechRadar Flags Two Sub-$500 PC Deals: HP OmniBook Laptop and a 16-Core Xeon Mini PC

TechRadar on October 1 flagged an HP OmniBook with an Intel Core 5 315 CPU and Wi-Fi 7 at $450 off, plus a 16-core Xeon mini PC from Newegg under $300.

The same publication, in a separate piece also dated October 1, 2026, selected a 16-core Xeon mini PC with 16GB of RAM sold by Newegg as the best PC under $300 for October 2026. The headline states that the unit "gets my vote," framing the choice as the writer's own recommendation rather than a comparative test result.

Both items carry the same byline on TechRadar. The author biography that accompanies each article describes the writer as a technology journalist of four decades who has served as editor at TechRadar Pro for nine years and who follows hardware deals closely. That bio is the bulk of the text published with both pieces; the specifications, the $450 discount on the HP OmniBook and the sub-$300 price of the Xeon mini PC appear in the articles' headlines.

Neither report, as published, names a retailer for the HP OmniBook, states the laptop's original list price, specifies the configuration of the Xeon mini PC beyond its 16 cores and 16GB of memory, or gives an expiry date for either offer. The mini PC offer is tied to Newegg, while the laptop pricing is attributed only to TechRadar's own deal coverage.

TechRadar is the sole source for both selections, and the pricing and specification claims have not been confirmed by the manufacturers or by the retailers involved.
