HP Essential is a trademark used by Hewlett-Packard (later HP Inc.) to denote their entry-level, inexpensive laptops using the Microsoft Windows operating system, produced since 2009. Products under the "Essential" moniker include the HP Laptop series[1] and HP Notebook series, as well as products simply branded as "HP". A similar line called HP Stream compromised of low-end consumer-oriented laptops and tablets.

The HP Essential line is slowly being phased out in favor of the revived OmniBook brand of laptops, due to a corporate streamlining of products that happened in 2024.[2]
