HP - OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1 - 14" 2K OLED Touchscreen Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 7 (2026) - 16GB Memory - 1TB SSD - Copilot+ - Meteor Silver

HP's Omnibook line has now for several generations been a great laptop for those looking to get things done on the go and this newest version might be the best yet, both on your desk and on the go. There's so much to like about this laptop that it's tough to pick just one place to start, but I suppose I'll start with the basics. The Omnibook X Flip is, as the name would imply, a convertible laptop that can "flip" into a tablet (or various tent modes if you prefer). The hinge is SOLIDLY built and the screen does stay in a variety of positions and the touchscreen works well as an additional input in any mode. Windows isn't REALLY a tablet operating system, but the tablet mode can be handy when using the laptop to consume media like reading or watching a video and is a handy bonus. The chassis is a mix of plastic and metal and is solid for normal use - the MIL spec rating is a nice bonus though I thankfully haven't yet dropped it to test that out! The keyboard is nicely spaced and easy to get used to (like most HP keyboards) and I was quickly able to get to my rated typing speed and accuracy with it and the touchpad is large and responsive, including to gestures. Size-wise, 14" is a good sweet spot if you're actually going to travel with the laptop, large enough to have a solid screen space and nicely spaced keyboard but still light enough that it doesn't weigh you down and it fits in nearly any bag. I LOVE that they've finally done away with bulky power bricks and included a VERY small GaN power adapter - while you still get a 6 ft charging cord, it saves a TON of space and weight in your bag and is what all laptop companies should be doing...so bravo HP on that! Physically, the highest points of the laptop (besides the power cable) have to be the screen and the port selection. The 2K OLED is gorgeous with deep blacks and bright colors that you expect from an OLED. It makes viewing media a treat and is useful in games as well (more on that in a moment). The response time is good (though it is a 60Hz screen) and everything I've looked at / read / etc. is sharp and clear. I do like the 1920x1200 screen size, a 16:10 ratio that is bigger than the normal 1920x1080 or 16:9 and lets you get a bit more vertical screen space so slightly less scrolling. The port selection is GREAT for a laptop of this size with Thunderbolt / USB-C and USB-A on BOTH sides (meaning you can dock / charge the laptop from either side) which is awesome and gives you plenty of connectivity. You also get a native HDMI port and headphone jack which should eliminate the need for most dongles (also saving space and weight when you're on the go). This is the port selection and distribution that every laptop should aim for (unless it's a SUPER slim ultrabook). The laptop is easy to open if you want/need to with 4 small philips head screws on the bottom (the one in the back left corner is captive) and a bit of prying of clips. Inside (picture attached) though there's not THAT much you can do, but you can replace the single 1TB SSD with a larger one - it takes a standard 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD meaning you can go up to 8TB of storage either now or in the future, though because it's a single drive, you'll need to migrate your Windows install to that new drive as well. You can also replace / upgrade the Mediatek Wifi/Bluetooth card for future standards, though I saw solid connectivity and speeds over both Wifi and with Bluetooth devices. The battery is in theory replaceable if you can source the replacement unit. AND...that's about it for the inside since the memory is soldiered to the board and not user replaceable. As far as performace, this is a solid performer as an all around laptop. The new "Panther Lake" Intel Core Ultra 7 series 3 chip is both powerful and efficient, leading to solid "all day" battery life while performing productivity and/or media consumption type tasks. I haven't done a full battery run down, but the laptop should easily exceed a full work day and then have plenty to go late into the night (or for a second day) as well based on the power draw I've seen. That said, I doubt the "39 hours" is realistic for most, unless you're running very specific test conditions (looping a local video at certain brightness settings, etc). Charging is very quick over USB-C either with the included 65W GaN power brick (that's very small as noted above) or with a third party charger. One thing to note - and this isn't HP's fault, but rather Intel's - is that this is the "Core Ultra 7" 355 processor, NOT to be confused with the Core Ultra X7" processors (usually the 358H) which is much more powerful, particularly on the intergrated graphics. That "X" means a lot as the 358H is a 16 core part with powerful Arc graphics. THIS "7" 355 is an 8 core part with more mainstream Intel graphics. It's still a great chip / laptop, but that's an important thing to note when buying to make sure you know what you're getting. Performance-wise, the 355 paired with 16GB of VERY fast RAM is a good pairing, able to deliver solid performance in day to day tasks, power copilot or other local AI tools and even have enough to do some gaming. It's not the X7 processor as noted above, but does still deliver good gaming performance in lighter / older games or with settings turned down. The common 3DMark "Time Spy" benchmark returns about 3,100 in performance mode (and even got to about the same on battery) which is roughly comparable to the ROG Ally or similar handheld gaming PCs, so you CAN play games on this and even still see decent battery life. Given that, it's no surprise that playing 4k media, office work and even programming / development were a breeze for this laptop. When highly pushed, the fan did kick up to be noticeable and the laptop got rather warm in the area above the function keys, but you don't really touch that area anyhow and it wasn't worryingly warm or anything. In normal use the fan is quiet / silent. So there you have it - a laptop that can go with you, last all day and do (or connect to) pretty much anything you might need it to. From a trusted name in PCs / laptops. And with recycled materials to boot. What more could you ask for? Give it a try today!

I wanted to pick up a new touchscreen laptop for a project I’ve got coming up. I mainly needed it to be able to capture signatures via a touchscreen but also needed it to be portable with enough battery life to last a workday between charges. I really like the OmniBook series from HP, so when I saw the OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1 14”, it was exactly what I was looking for. Pros: - Powerful and Portable. - Vibrant OLED Touch-screen display. - Multi-Day battery. - High quality audio. Cons: - HP Includes a lot of pre-installed software. - Doesn’t come with a Pen/Stylus. Setup: Setup was uneventful in a good way, I didn’t encounter any issues setting windows up, updating, or installing my software on the OmniBook X Flip. My only complaint is that HP loads a bunch of add on programs like McAfee Antivirus, Dropbox, and 11 HP branded apps. It’s a bit unreal just how many HP apps are preinstalled, most of which are unnecessary to function. Any of the apps used for updates can also be removed, as updating can be done directly from the HP Website when needed. Specifications: The OmniBook X Flip has an Intel Core Ultra 7 355 – 8 core processor with 4 performance and 4 efficient cores, this is one of Intel’s newest mobile chips that boasts high performance with efficiency power usage. The base power draw for the CPU is only 25 Watts, but the chip can adjust between 12 Watts to 55 Watts based on usage and settings. For graphics, the CPU includes Intel Integrated Graphics, which is plenty for my use. For Memory, there is 16GB of LPDDR5X, which is unfortunately not upgradeable as it is soldered onto the board but does run at 7467 MT/s. As for Storage, there is a 1TB NVMe included which is the only upgradeable part. For wireless connectivity, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 is included. For ports, there are 2x USB-C Thunderbolt 4, 2x USB-A 3.1, 1x HDMI 2.1, and a headphone combo jack. Having 4 USB ports plus the HDMI port really helps, as you can attach all your devices: mouse, external monitor, and power adapter without having to sacrifice one for the other when limited to less ports. The keyboard is backlit and the trackpad supports multi-touch gestures, which is a must for any work laptop I have. A 5MP front facing camera is included on the top of the display with a built-in privacy screen along with a built-in microphone. The included Poly Studio with Dual Speakers, deliver quality sound in a small format. I was impressed with the sound quality and clarity even at maximum volume. All of it fits within an Aluminum shell with a footprint of about 12.3in by 8.6in, and under 0.6in thick. While weighing just about 3.1lbs, which fits with the ultra-portable laptops. Touch Display: The 14in OLED Display is very vibrant and easy to view from almost all angles without any discoloration. The screen is a high gloss screen, which helps with making colors pop but also is prone to reflections in high light such as working outside or near large windows. The maximum brightness is only 300 nits which is a low level for maximum brightness on an OLED display, but I’ve found it to work well enough with the display so you can still see the screen even in direct sunlight or very bright settings. The Flip: One of the main features of the OmniBook X Flip is the folding screen, which essentially turns the laptop into a tablet. As you Flip it, the screen automatically reorientates to vertical along with bringing up an onscreen keyboard when a text field is selected. The onscreen keyboard supports swipe typing and works flawlessly. The touch screen easily registers multi-point gestures such as pinch to zoom, scroll, or rotate. Basically, any trackpad quick gesture also applies on the display. My only complaint about the touchscreen would be the lack of an included Pen or Stylus, as that would make the OmniBook X Flip perfect. It is compatible with MPP 2.0 Active Stylus like the HP Rechargeable MPP 2.0 Tilt Pen, which I’m looking forward to trying with it. Battery Life: The battery life on the OmniBook X Flip is amazing! I’ve only charged it once during the initial setup, then used it for the last 4 days for about 4-5 hours a day and still have about 15% left on the battery. Though this was mostly on normal everyday activities like web browsing, emails, and writing so more strenuous tasks might see reduced battery life. Charging was similarly impressive, as the USB-C Charger included is a 65W charger, providing 50% of the battery charge in about 1 hour and a full charge in just under 2 hours. With the charger being USB-C, this allows you to charge other USB-C devices, often at faster than standard charging rates. This is very convenient for traveling, as you can bring just the one charger to charge all your devices. Conclusion: If you’re looking for a touch-screen laptop that can last all day under a steady workload without sacrificing portability, the OmniBook X Flip is a great option to consider. Paired with the newest Intel Core Ultra 7 which is both powerful and power efficient, the battery can easily last multiple 8hr workdays on a single charge while small easily fitting into your work bag. Or even in your hands as you give that presentation, as with the Flip feature the laptop easily folds into a tablet mode seamlessly. The only thing missing is an active stylus to make this laptop a perfect tool for work. I’ll be keeping the OmniBook X Flip on hand for my upcoming project, along with the next one for sure.

Right out of the box, the HP OmniBook X Flip 14 2-in-1 immediately gives off that premium, compact feel. It’s lightweight, easy to handle, and honestly feels like something that’s built to last rather than just look good on a spec sheet. I call it a “convertible” because it truly leans into that flexibility with its flip design switching between standard laptop mode, tent mode, tablet mode, and stand mode depending on what you need at the moment. That versatility makes it super convenient whether you’re working on the go, streaming content, or just lounging and browsing. HP did a great job with the included accessories too. It comes with a USB-C power cable that’s actually a good usable length, paired with a compact 65W adapter that feels more like a modern fast charger than the bulky bricks we’re used to. That alone makes a difference in portability. It’s easy to toss in a bag, and honestly, you could swap it out with another USB-C charger you already use for your phone or other devices, which keeps cable clutter to a minimum. The keyboard layout is another highlight. The keys are well spaced and give off that near full-size keyboard feel despite the compact chassis. There’s backlighting, and everything is positioned nicely relative to the large touchpad and that gorgeous 14-inch display. I didn’t run into any accidental touchpad inputs while typing, which is always a concern on smaller devices. The touchpad itself is smooth and responsive when you do use it. Typing feels good overall. It’s not mechanical by any means, more in line with a high-quality portable keyboard, but key travel and responsiveness are solid enough to make long sessions comfortable. Now the display is where this thing really shines. That 2K OLED touchscreen is just beautiful. Deep blacks, vibrant colors, and sharp detail make everything from documents to streaming content look fantastic. Touch response is quick with little to no noticeable lag. The only downside here is glare in brighter environments, and like most touchscreens, it’s a fingerprint magnet. If you’re using touch often, you’ll find yourself wiping it down pretty regularly. Under the hood, this laptop punches way above what you’d expect for its size. With an Intel Core Ultra 7 (2026 series), Intel Arc graphics, 16GB of fast LPDDR5x memory, and a 1TB SSD, it handles everyday tasks effortlessly. Whether it’s multitasking, streaming, or productivity work, it doesn’t break a sweat. I didn’t pick this up for gaming since I’ve got a dedicated gaming setup, but for what it’s designed to do, it’s more than capable—honestly rivaling some older desktop setups in performance. Audio is probably the one area that feels average, but that’s expected given how slim and compact the device is. It gets the job done for casual use, but if you want a more immersive experience, you’ll probably lean on headphones or external speakers. Connectivity is solid though, with two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, and HDMI included, impressive for something this thin. Battery life is where things get seriously impressive. I’ve been seeing close to that advertised all-day (and then some) usage, and the fast charging is legit. Getting back to around 50% in a little over 30 minutes makes it incredibly practical for busy days. Overall, this feels like a supercharged tablet that just happens to have full laptop capability when you need it. It’s compact, powerful, and incredibly versatile. For on-the-go productivity, school work, or just an all-around daily device, this one has definitely left a strong impression on me.

HP has excelled in crafting two-in-one devices that cater to a variety of needs. The latest HP Omnibook X Flip stands out as a versatile, well-rounded gadget that seamlessly balances entertainment with productivity. Its gorgeous OLED display delivers vibrant colors and rich contrasts that only OLED technology can. HP reduced the price from 3K in last year's editions to 2K for these new ones, but I don't expect anyone to notice the difference. The touch functionality is impressively responsive, performing best in "tablet mode," yet remains effective even while using the keyboard. For those on the go, the HP Omnibook X Flip comes with a 65W power brick and a USB-C to USB-C charging cable, making it more convenient for travel than traditional laptop chargers. HP boasts about its impressive battery life, claiming up to 32 hours depending on your usage. After watching a few shows and tackling some writing projects, I found that the battery lasts remarkably well. I've only had to recharge it a handful of times, and it has never dipped below 25%. When it comes to connectivity, the Omnibook X Flip offers a solid range of ports to meet modern demands. It features two USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports on either side, which is a practical design that eliminates the hassle of choosing one side over the other. Additionally, it includes two USB-A ports, a headphone jack, and an HDMI 2.1 port, providing ample options for connecting peripherals and external displays. The device also supports WiFi 7, enabling incredibly fast internet speeds over longer distances, which is especially advantageous for streaming or gaming. With Bluetooth 6.0, you can count on stable connections to various wireless devices, ensuring everything runs smoothly. This device has all the latest features you'd expect from a $1500 machine. As for sound quality, it tends to be subjective; however, the device comes with dual side-firing speakers on either side of the laptop. They deliver clear audio, whether you're watching a movie or enjoying music. That said, don't expect them to compete with dedicated speakers, as achieving deep bass and immersive sound is a challenge for typical laptop speakers. Under the hood, it's powered by the new Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, paired with 16GB of RAM, which provides ample performance for multitasking and everyday tasks. It's super fast. It feels similar to the fluidity of a Chromebook, which is impressive considering it's a full-fledged PC. This setup suits most users, though those with extremely demanding processing needs might find it lacking. Unfortunately, the RAM isn't upgradeable, which is a common limitation among many two-in-one machines.

The Omnibook X Flip 2-in-1 14 is a good overall package for day-to-day computer tasks. A 14-inch laptop is what I chose for my personal day-to-day tasks. Checking emails, watching videos, listening to podcasts, and chatting in some apps. You get an all-metal body that is sleek and lightweight. Taking it from room to room was a breeze. So I know putting this in a backpack is no problem. It comes with the standard laptop ports. Two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports, this allows for charging on both sides with the USB-C port. Yes, they are 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports. The speakers were solid and decent. Not much base, but decent as far as getting loud. I do wish they had put a better screen on here. 1920 X 1200 on a 14" is fine. Yet, from a business professional standpoint. The screen is only 60 Hz. The keyboard is a different design from last year's model. This one had a shallower and lower click feel to it. I liked it better overall but the key presses are very short. The camera is very good with studio lights. If you need a good webcam, this will do. The CPU in the laptop is fine. It's more of an efficiency CPU. It will do your basic standard task. It can easily screen record with OBS. It will also do basic photo editing and light video editing at 1080p. The biggest problem is the 16GB. When running OBS and a simple screen record. I was using 14/15 GB of RAM. So take this into consideration for anyone wanting to up their creativity. I do wish this came with 24GB of RAM. But, I did enjoy the Omnibook X Flip 14 2-in-1.
