HP Renaming Product Lines

No more Pavilion, Envy, Spectre, etc. Looks like Probook and Elitebook names stay but the numbers for them are changing. Doesn't say if no-name HP laptops will stay or not.

Interesting. Actually a good thing if it helps reduce confusion.
Omnibook is an awful name though.

The no names are probably going to become omnibook 3.
Didn't they recently introduce a new name for them? Essentials?

I was looking at the first pic, under consumer by category 2 it says "N/A." Especially if you compare with other companies, 3 seems too high for HP no-names, when their old Pavilion category was like the 3s from other companies.
Never heard of essentials.

Re: Omnibook. It was an old laptop product name of theirs, as seen here:

Never heard of essentials.
When selling through other retailers they were using that name
E.g. https://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-Essential-Laptop-Computer-17-3-FHD-Intel-Core-16-GB-memory-512-GB-SSD/5794274485
on their own website it's a product category but doesn't appear on the product pages themselves

I assumed they would eventually start using Essential in the product name, "HP Essential 17.3 inch laptop" sounds a lot more convincing than "HP Laptop 17-cn4047nr". I guess not.
