Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been using the HP OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1 14", and it's been an excellent laptop overall. The 16GB of RAM keeps everything running smoothly, even with multiple apps and browser tabs open at the same time. The 1TB SSD provides plenty of storage while delivering fast boot times and quick file access. The 14-inch display is bright, sharp, and great for both work and streaming. I also love the 2-in-1 design—it switches easily between laptop and tablet modes, making it versatile for taking notes, watching videos, or browsing the web. The build quality feels premium, the keyboard is comfortable for long typing sessions, and the battery life easily gets me through most of the day. Performance is responsive, and the laptop stays quiet during everyday use. Overall, the HP OmniBook X Flip is a great choice for students, professionals, or anyone looking for a reliable, stylish, and versatile laptop. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful 2-in-1 device with plenty of memory and storage.

This 2 in 1 touchscreen laptop is the perfect purchase for digital artists or students pursuing a degree in graphic design. The design is sleek, it runs fast, and its easily transportable. The price matches the quality and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

TLDR: Beautiful screen, premium feel, cool and composed. An excellent 2-in-1. PORTS HDMI 2.1 x 1 USB-C x 2 (Thunderbolt 4) USB-A x 2 3.5mm Headphone x 1 KEY SPECS Intel Ultra 7 355 - 8 Cores (4Performance, 4 Ultra Low Power) 16GB LPDDR5X RAM 1TB NVMe SSD (Gen 4 speed) 1920 x 1200 OLED Display HDR 300 nits MediaTek MT7925 Wi-Fi 7 / Bluetooth Adapter PROS Excellent Battery Life Cool & Quiet even during benchmarking Gorgeous OLED display Backlit Keyboard CONS Not 4k Pre-Installed Bloatware Hidden HP Analytics SET-UP Every HP computer I've been lucky enough to review always comes with too much bloatware pre-installed. Frustrating and annoying. This Omnibook is no exception. It comes loaded up with multiple "offers" as well as McAfee Anti-Virus and tons of HP pre-installed analytics, telemetry, and diagnostics software. Too much really. Thankfully, once activated, Microsoft makes it easy to reach out and download a clean, unadulterated version of Windows 11 via the Media Creation Tool. After successful set-up and some use, that is exactly what I did. Why? Because McAfee just seemed to bog the system down too much and with Windows Defender now included with Windows 11, the need for a dedicated antivirus program is mostly unnecessary. BATTERY LIFE It's hard to find fault with the Omnibook X for daily use. Battery life is exceptional. It easily lasts a full workday and maybe a bit more. I am at 88% right now and my estimated battery life is still over 5 hours. One thing that really goes a long way in increasing battery life is the excellent thermal characteristics of the Omnibook design combined with the efficiency of Intel's latest Ultra 7 processor. The Omnibook rarely breaks a sweat for anything but the most demanding tasks. Unlike most of my other laptops, the Omnibook rarely needs its cooling fan. That is a HUGE win for battery life. Watching motorcycle videos on YouTube, surfing, email, etc. it runs cool and quiet. If, for some reason, the laptop does ask for cooling, the fan is pleasantly quiet. One of the quietest fans of any laptop I've used to date. Even when I was stressing the laptop, getting benchmarks scores, the fan was never loud or obnoxious. SCREEN There isn't much to dislike about the OLED goodness. Colors are rich, vibrant, and saturated. If I were to nit-pick, there are a couple of things that I have to mention about the screen. One, it isn't 4k. Second, peak brightness is limited to a maximum of 300 nits. Third, overall color accuracy is a bit off and not as precise as some of its competitors. The same negatives can also be positives as well. For instance, less pixels and limited brightness go a LONG way to overall battery life. More pixels require more power. Lastly, even though overall color accuracy isn't as good as its rivals, you would be hard pressed to tell without having a colorimeter to spoil it. BLOATWARE This is really my only true sticking point with Windows-based HP laptops. I dislike their inclusion of so much bloatware. McAfee has gotten better over time, but I still find it a resource hog and like Norton, it becomes so intertwined with your system that you can never seem to really get rid of it all. If you do, your machine never feels right again until you re-image it with a clean Windows install. As you can tell I've had bad experiences with McAfee in the past and refuse to use it to this day. HP is a big offender too. I think I counted 11 different programs they have pre-installed. Everything from analytic and diagnostic programs to various telemetry metrics, to their Omen Gaming Hub. It is all truly unnecessary and does nothing but send data back to HP and eat up processor power. Even after a clean install, the software found its way back on to my system. There were 5 more HP analytic programs set for AutoStart. Not cool. FINAL THOUGHTS Would I recommend the Omnibook X? Yes, absolutely. It's a great, little everyday laptop / tablet. Did I need to go through all the troubles just to eliminate McAfee and the added HP bloatware? No. Am I glad I did? Yes. This little laptop is a great piece of gear and what I did made it even better. It is quiet and composed. Whether I'm watching videos, the news, checking emails, or just surfing, the Omnibook never seems to sweat. Even when the fan did spin up during benchmarking, it was surprisingly quiet. After I got all my benchmarks ran, it hasn't spun up since. Take this review for instance, I've been working on it for over an hour now and streaming a YouTube video in the background. Still no fan. If you are in the market for a lightweight, reasonably powerful 2-in-1, the Omnibook X should be on your shopping list. With a great screen and excellent battery life, the HP Omnibook X hits a sweet spot of power and performance in a lightweight and attractive package. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Fans were on the highest speed in auto mode for the high-end games. Cooling has dramatically improved in this newly designed cooling system. When completely finished setting the unit up, I updated the BIOS FW in the HP APP. Critical update for this unit. Windows update should catch all the rest. The 4 Phillips head screws for back access panel were easy to find. If you are not an experienced hardware technician, you may want to skip this step. Fans came on at the right temperatures. Also, the keyboard FN keys allow you to manually adjust the speed as well as many other functions. WD cloning software failed. Crucial Acronis failed! XBOX-X controller is the best bet for games. The i7 CPU showed its strength in gaming mode as I was surprised how quick it was. The external mouse and keyboard were ok for some gaming with the lighted keys. I use an external mouse or XBOX controller for most games. For additional cooling, I bought an elevated laptop stand and can place a fan under it for extremely intense games (decided it was easier to place 4 furniture pads under the raised feet of the laptop). Not needed for 99% of the games. Read the manual on how to use the FN keys. The manual is your friend. Also, the keys are clearly tagged as to functions. The sound worked perfectly on startup with no adjustments needed. However, the sound is for business only and not for music or quality sound. The screen will open 360 degrees. Be very careful! I could not find a function to turn on the WASD key lighting Final thoughts! This a compact robust laptop. Fast and portable. Not being able to clone the drive with authorized WD Acronis is a significant setback. Researching built in old Windows 7 features built into Windows 11. Wound up removing the drive and doing an external clone on my desktop.

I have been using a traditional laptop for years and finally decided to make the jump to a 2 in 1 and I landed on the HP OmniBook X Flip 14. This is my first flip style convertible and I have to say it has been a really interesting transition. Here is my honest take after spending real time with it. DISPLAY: This is where the OmniBook absolutely steals the show. The 2K OLED touchscreen is genuinely stunning. Colors are rich and deep, blacks are true black the way only OLED can deliver, and everything just pops in a way that a standard laptop display simply cannot match. I find myself using it in tablet mode at night for movies and just general scrolling and the screen makes both of those experiences legitimately great. The one thing to know going in is that it is a glossy panel which is a double edged sword. Indoors it looks incredible. In bright lighting or near a window you will notice some reflections. Not a dealbreaker but worth keeping in mind. The display brightness is also only 300 nits. PERFORMANCE: The system feels genuinely snappy day to day. The Intel Core Ultra 7 processor paired with 16GB of RAM handles everything I throw at it without hesitation. Switching between apps, streaming, browsing with a ton of tabs open, it all stays smooth and responsive. The 1TB SSD means I am not constantly managing storage either which is a nice quality of life thing. The Copilot AI integration is baked in and works well for productivity tasks if you are looking to dabble. VERSATILITY: As someone who mainly wanted a tablet experience for movies and doom scrolling in bed, tablet mode alone has been worth it. The touchscreen response is smooth and natural. One thing that takes some adjustment if this is your first flip is that when you hold it in tablet mode you can feel the keyboard on the back side. It is not uncomfortable but it is definitely something you notice until you get used to it. BUILD: The design is clean and modern and the Meteor Silver finish looks sharp. It’s thin and light enough to carry around without thinking about it. My only real gripe with the hardware is that the chassis has a bit more flex to it than I would expect at this price point. It is not a structural concern but if you press on certain areas of the lid or palm rest you can feel it give slightly. For a premium priced machine I would have liked a little more rigidity there. Also, I’m not sure if its good or bad but I can’t really tell where the aluminum stops and the plastic starts. CONCLUSION: The OmniBook X Flip 14 is a genuinely impressive machine and the OLED display alone makes a strong case for it. It is fast, versatile, and the tablet experience is exactly what I was looking for. The chassis flex is a minor frustration and the glossy display is something you need to be aware of depending on your environment. But overall this is a laptop that should last me for years to come.

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.

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.

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.

This is a great portable laptop. The smaller size allows it to be easily taken to a meeting or slipped into a bag or backpack. And it's also easy to carry by hand as it weighs in at just a hair over 3lbs.. It has a beautiful display that makes colors appear rich and deep. Plenty of processing power and all the features pretty much anyone could want. In a work environment I prefer a smaller, easier to carry laptop over one that has a giant display. They're just better for setting down on a smaller space or taking to a meeting so that I have the ability to take notes. I work in a technical facility with a large number of equipment racks that I routinely need to go to and interface a laptop. A smaller machine is just the way to go in this type of environment. The 2-in-1 feature means that I can use it as a standard laptop, flip the display completely back and use it as a tablet, or tent it. Because of that, the display is also a touchscreen. It has 2K resolution with a high gloss finish on the screen. While this makes the screen somewhat reflective, it's also the reason the colors are rich and watery. Being an OLED, the color depth is just amazing. Colors look insanely vibrant and deep. As for connectivity, we have WiFi 7 and Bluetooth for over air connections. And a nice selection of fast physical ports including two Thunderbolt (USB-C) ports, one on each side, two USB-A (3.1) ports, also one on each side. An HDMI port and a headphone/mic jack. You can charge the machine with either of the two USB-C ports, and it's really nice that there's one on each side to make charging adaptable to your environment so that the cord can always be on whichever side is easier. The included power supply to charge it is one of the best I've ever used. To start with, it's small but powerful. Most included laptop power supplies are very large and heavy, which makes the portability of a machine somewhat questionable if you're running low on juice. This one is only 1.25” x 1.25” x 2.5” and has foldable AC plugs. It also has just a single USB-C port on it so you can change the cable if you need to (it's not wired directly into the power supply). The specs on this machine will leave you with a smile on your face. It has some solid components and none of them seem to be under sized or skimped on in any way. You can (and should) look up the specs for yourself but here's a quick rundown: Intel Core Ultra 7 16GB memory 1TB SSD 2K OLED display Built in 5 megapixel camera Backlit keyboard The body is aluminum and feels very sturdy. There's a huge touchpad that is nicely defined in the deck, and the keys are quite low and rise just a bit above the deck surface. They have a very shallow throw. Some people may have to get used to this but it shouldn't be a big deal to anyone who's used a smaller laptop (I actually prefer this). The keys are laid out well and each one has beveled edges which helps to define the edges of each one. HP clearly means for this to be an everything machine. I didn't attempt any games with it, but I can say that streaming movies is really a pleasure. The sound quality is pretty good and very spacious. However, given it's size it's just a little bit anemic on the volume. The display looks fantastic with movies and had absolutely no trouble rendering video accurately and beautifully and at no time did I feel the case heat up at all. Everything ran nice and cool. It accels at portability and fast response for running normal apps and surfing, but has enough muscle to use for gaming and photo/video editing as well. This is a beautiful machine with plenty of power and higher end components. I doubt that anyone looking for a laptop this size will find anything to be disappointed about with this machine.

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.

The silver metal “clam” case design seems well constructed with sturdy hinges and stays put whether using in laptop, tented, stand/presentation or tablet mode(s). Its 14-inch slim size and at 3.09 lbs., makes it easy to travel with. It should more than meet your work, light gaming and streaming needs. Impressions; Its Intel Ultra 7 355 8 core (boost to 4.7GHz) Panther Lake processor has 8 cores and 8 threads with 49 NPU. Has 12 MB L3 cache and integrated Xe3 graphics. This combination worked well with my business apps, day-to-day processing/streaming as well as light gaming (Solitaire). It would not handle any of my F1 driving games, but I did load Minecraft Java edition and had my grandsons have at it and they had no issues. This is evident by my PCMark10 and 3Dmark test scores. If you need more performance, you should look at the Ultra X7 358H faster CPU/memory and better graphics. These 13/14-inch laptops are a sweet spot for me. They are just the right size for traveling and fit easily on the seat tray, even when the seat in front is reclined. 16GB LPDDR5X 7467MHz memory disappointingly soldered so not upgradable. WD PC SN5000S SDEPNSJ-1T00 1TB M.2 SSD. It tested as fast as its specs using CrystalDiskMark. I have opened up older HP laptops in the past and it was pretty easy to do. Looks like the only upgrade is the SSD and possibly a battery replacement. Would be nice to also have an SD slot as a space option. Wi-Fi 7 which I have and is speedy. 2K OLED 16:10 screen looks great (1920 x 1200) from any viewing angle. At 300 nits laptop will only stream HDR, not natively but is DCI-P3 certified. Touch sensitivity is very good. The screen is a tad reflective but normal for most touch screens. Last year’s model used Gorilla Glass 3 – but this seems to have just tempered glass? It is stated to meet the MIL-STD 810H military test. The back-lit keyboard is nice size with large lettering and soft touch/quiet keys. On/off is top right of keyboard which I like as it makes it hard to accidentally turn off laptop, but it is where the delete key is normally. It does have a small blue LED light which is always on which helps to remind you. The mute key for sound also has a small orange LED light. The touchpad is a nice size and tracks well. Overall, I liked the tactile feel of it. The sound, using 2 Poly Studio speakers and DTS: X Ultra is better than most laptop speakers but as you would expect not a whole lot of bass. I could not find exact wattage, but the speakers seem to be mounted on bottom back where air vents are and I expected them to be muted if used on my lap/legs but didn’t seem to affect the volume. Left side connections are 1 Thunderbolt 4 USB-C (40gbps), 1 USB-A (10gbps) and 1 HDMI 2.1. As well as combined headphone/microphone jack. Right side connections are another Thunderbolt 4 USB-C (40gbps) and USB-A (10gbps). Nice to have connections on each side which allows for either side charging. Having an HDMI and headphone/microphone connection is really nice, especially these days. Thunderbolt is the jack knife of connections. The Omen Gaming Hub is fine and allows for some tuning. Front facing 5megapixel camera has a manual slide to cover it – which is nice. 65-watt 3 cell Lithium-ion polymer battery. I looped a 1080P movie with balanced power, Bluetooth on using wireless headphones and wi-fi on and after 14 hrs. I had 25% battery left. It seemed to charge 25% every half hour using the very small AC power adapter provided with no inline block. Also has over 6-foot USB-C cable. No SD/micro-SD card reader No Fingerprint reader. Machine ran flawlessly and was easy to startup. During initial setup there were a lot of Windows and HP updates to be done, and the laptop stayed extremely quiet and only slightly warm. Installed software includes HP App, HP Support Assistant, HP BIOS Protection, Presence Sensing, Smart Sense, HP Connection Optimizer, Battery Manager, Microsoft Copilot, Advanced AI Noise reduction, DTS: X Ultra technology, DTS Sound Unbound, OMEN Gaming Hub, OMEN AI 1-year warranty It seems to me that due to high memory prices there is a “new” normal – where 32GB of memory would have been installed just last year now its 16GB with onboard graphics being the standard unless laptop it is purpose-built for gaming. Not a lot of “dual purpose” machines. Also, as machines get thinner and thinner the connections provided get less and less. Nice to see this included HDMI and headphone jacks but would also like an SD or Micro-sd slot. This ticks a whole lot of boxes for a daily driver but wish it had native HDR. I look forward to using it and recommend it with 4 stars.

It’s the best computer so much memory issue sorted all and all it’s what I need with a service tech recommendation.

TLDR - This 14” HP OmnibookX is a solid midrange/premium build feel 2 in 1 with a good looking OLED screen. Decent battery life + snappy home/basic business performance makes for a super solid option, albeit suffering from the current “memory shortage” memory capacity of only 16GB. Pro’s - The Core Ultra 7 355 is a very snappy 2026 laptop chip from Intel. Intel hasn’t had top tier chips the last couple releases, but these gen 3 Core Ultra series are great! Efficient and fast, I’ve never felt it bogging down. (included some benchmark photos) 14” OLED is very nice, should be 120hz+ to feel fully premium, but OLED is still a plus for colors and contrast. The keyboard seems to have more travel vs what I am used to in a fairly thin ultrabook, especially 2-in-1s. Not very clicky, but types well. Nice lighting, could be a touch brighter, but looks nice. PORTS! HP really did well in adding enough ports! One side has a 10Gbps USB-A port, full size HDMI, Thunderbolt 4 port, plus headphone jack. The other has another 10Gbps USB-A port, plus Thunderbolt 4 port. BOTH Thunderbolt ports have a small light showing charging status, so you can plug in whichever side is more convenient. Which brings me to the included USB-C adapter! I’m usually not going to comment on it unless it's really good/unique or really bad. HP did something I haven’t seen in any 65w USB-C charger, it’s the same height/width as those old cube USB adapters that could only do 5 watts, but it's about triple the depth. It allows for zero interference with nearby wall plugs while still being 65w! Solid/premium aluminum build, touch of flex, but still a pro Con’s - Should include thunderbolt 5, it was released in 2023-24. TB 4 is about 6 years old at this point. At this value level the display should be 120hz+ 16GB of shared memory, even with shortages, is just too little for mid tier and higher premium systems with AI branding all over them. I don’t use local LLMs, but I know enough that you need large ram capacities to really run them well. Very solid 2in1 overall, as long as you’re not a power user, should fit well in a home/home office or small business!

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 have been going through laptop analysis, regret, delight, etc. in trying to find a laptop that fits all of the stuff that I really like in a daily device that I use for a variety of tasks and efforts as my life transitions and evolves. I worked in the IT industry for over 40 years, I have had every brand of laptop, all the features, bells and whistles you could ask for. Unfortunately, that also leads to a level of pickiness that literally drives my wife crazy. It’s like an incessant and unending judgement phase I go through every time I try to move to the latest and greatest laptop. One thing about HP, it continues to be a go-to device. HP’s consistent ability to build a variety of options into its new laptop portfolio each year is exciting. The other thing I love about this model is something that HP excels at, build quality. While a bit thicker than my 13inch competitor, this baby is solid. From the bottom of the unit, where there are two small rubber strips on either side of the venting holes. They are perfectly positioned to slightly raise the unit to keep it cool. This is a 2in1 flip unit, so the hinges are very important. HP always provides quality hinges in these units. The interesting thing about 2in1’s for me is not the fact that I utilize one mode vs. another. I am still a traditional laptop mode person. What I do love and the reason I prefer 2in1 is because for those few times a month when I need flexibility, I have it. I probably use the tablet mode the least, but the tent mode is a favorite. For me, when I travel to my mom’s house. I don’t have a tv in the bedroom that I sleep. I put the laptop in tent mode and started up YouTube TV and it’s fantastic. I can watch my channels, just like having a small but beautiful OLED TV screen and the touch screen works amazingly. Before I finish on the actual aesthetics of the box. Let me just say that the keyboard on this model is by far the best I have used in years, backlit but also solid with each key beveled on all four sides. It feels so natural and so integrated with a feel that is just hard to describe. If you are a laptop keyboard snob, you will love this. Let’s talk about power. This HP has the latest 2026 Intel Core Ultra7 with 16GB RAM and 1TB, is the perfect powerhouse package in the ultimate size/weight. I agree with other comments about a laptop at this price/performance point should just go ahead and double the memory to 32GB, especially if you are going to tout this as a Copilot+ AI focused device. With all the changes in the LLM/AI space, the ability to run localized LLM’s will increase. I use Copilot regularly. I used to use it for work related content/questions but just to give those of you that may be looking at laptops and thinking “what will I use all this Copilot/AI stuff for”. You have to remember that AI options such as Copilot aren’t just for work. They are very practical in your everyday life. I included a couple pics of how I gave Copilot a picture of two raised garden beds that I was starting this year. I gave Copilot the details as to the vegetables and herbs that I expected to include in the two garden containers. I then asked Copilot to produce me a couple pics/diagrams of the optimal layout for the different vegetable/herb options I had chosen. As you will see in the attached pics, it was amazingly simple. It even gave me sun/spacing options to consider. This is just a normal simple example of how to incorporate AI, especially Copilot into your everyday life and task accomplishment. Battery Life is rated at 32 hours, and I completely agree with that. I have used this laptop over the last 4 days and have not had to recharge it yet. The charger that you get with it is finally a smart, small power brick that literally fits in the palm of your hand. It’s like what everyone buys to replace the larger brick that usually ships with these devices, lol. This was a welcome and smart decision, especially if you travel with this device. Ports are plentiful! Two USB-A’s, an HDMI 2.1, headphone/microphone combo and finally two Thunderbolt 4 ports. This was a bit disappointing as Thunderbolt 5 would have been a nice addition. As usual, this is a high-quality option for the power user or even the advanced user that wants to ensure longevity with advanced features. Sure, you can opt and pay for the higher Intel Ultra Core 7 and even double the RAM but unless you have specific needs for those upgrades, the price point for this HP Omnibook X is perfect.

Right out of the gate, I'll tell you this isn't a top of the line system but it does the job it's trying to do just fine. You can be the judge on if the price is right for the machine you get. Setup is as simple as it normally is with a Windows machine. Takes a little bit of time to run initial updates and all that fun stuff. Then there's the removal of McAfee and other software that you might feel is just bloating the system. After all that, you got a pretty decent machine that turns into a tablet. Build quality is quite nice for an HP. I'm used to a lot of non-Apple computers being made of mostly plastic but this Omnibook is metal and feels solid. The hinge has a good stiffness to it and should stay put however you place it but it's still not hard to flip it into tablet mode. For a 14" model, it does feel a little bit on the heavy side. It's small, but it still feels a little bulky for the screen size. Performance isn't too bad. You're not going to be hardcore gaming with graphics settings maxed out or anything but that's not what this laptop is made for. You CAN game with some more casual games and graphics settings adjusted appropriately if you need a little break. But the main use for this is going to be some productivity work, browsing the web or watching some videos. All of this is handled quickly and most users that wouldn't consider themselves a "power user" should be just fine. My biggest gripe with the performance would be the soldered 16GB of RAM since it can't be upgraded. Ports are pretty good for a smaller laptop. You get an HDMI and 3.5mm headphone port on the left side and then you get a USB-A and USB-C port on both sides. It's always nice to have the option of charging your laptop on either side and it's also nice to have those extra ports available for anything else you might need to plug in. The screen looks good. If you haven't started using OLED screens everywhere yet, you're going to struggle to go back to a non-OLED screen after using this. I'm not really sure why it's advertised as a "2K" screen when the highest resolution I can get in Windows is 1920x1200, though. Colors are good and brightness is good enough, though. One of the biggest annoyances I found pretty quick was how far away you need the device in order for it to recognize your face to unlock. If you're used to things like FaceID on an Apple device, which you usually forget about because it works so quickly and consistently, be ready to see a lot of messages telling you you're too close and to move away a little bit when you try and unlock your computer. This is exasperated by the fact that it's a 14" screen, so I don't feel like I'm too close to it when it's yelling about me being too close. Battery life was just alright. I'm never too far from a charger so it's not a big deal to me but if you're doing any kind of real work or watching a lot of videos with the screen brightness up, you might get a full workday out of it if you're lucky. You can definitely stretch it to 15+ hours or so if you're using it lightly and manage things like your screen brightness. Charging isn't too bad, though. About a half hour of charging will get you back up to 50% and an extra hour and a half on top of that should fill you up. All in all, this is a pretty good computer with decent specs. It's not top of the line and it's not a gaming beast but it's not trying to be so you shouldn't expect that anyways. Expect to get a waking day's worth of light productivity work out of it without worrying too much about the battery. When you need a break, you shouldn't have a problem playing some casual games at lower settings either. Being able to flip the computer into tablet mode for a change of pace is also very welcome. If you're in the market for a mid-range convertible laptop and this is in your price range, give it a look at least.

This is such a nice lightweight, thin but well built and fast laptop. It’s perfect for anyone to take on the go for work or school. Out of the box I feel like I always complain about the setup process for any Microsoft loaded laptop. It’s a pain and this is no exception. Once you get past the initial setup, downloads, uploads, updates, downdates, it’s pretty nice. My favorite feature is the 2-in-1 flip. It can be used as a tablet. Lay it flat or sit it up depending on what you need. My second favorite feature is small but notable and that’s the little tab at the top that can hide the camera and protect your privacy. Third would be the SSD. The screen and resolution is crystal clear. Colors are bright, and saturated. However for oled it should be at 120hz at this point. The memory could be better but for what this laptop will be primarily used for is good enough. I think with heavy AI usage and/or video editing etc. it may struggle a bit. This will be my son’s new laptop when he enters highschool this year so it’ll be a huge jump for him, as far as, speed. Battery life is pretty good. It lasted several days with light work being done, like browsing the web, and playing music. Watching movies obliviously drains it quicker but it wasn’t terrible and that’s to be expected. The sound is good, and crystal clear. For the use and application of this laptop the amount of ports are just fine, in fact, more than he would need. So that’s a plus. It’s a well rounded laptop. Best for at home play, work and school. It’s more in the mid category but it has a premium feel and look with a lightweight body. So it’s easy to manage and carry around from room to room or in a bag or bookbag.

This HP Omnibook X Flip is a well rounded consumption device that can work as well as it plays! With an OLED display you get a crisp beautiful picture for movies or content and when using it as a tablet the touch functionality is very responsive. You get two side firing speakers on each side of the laptop that provide excellent sound. In terms of ports you have two USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports one on each side allowing for charging from either side. Two USB-A ports, microphone/headphone jack and an HDMI 2.1 port. With WiFi 7 you're assured you can access the fastest internet speeds from a longer distance and the same goes for Bluetooth with 6.0. The webcam has a physical privacy filter that adds that extra bit of security. The included 65w power brick and USB-C to USB-C cable is far better for travel as well compared to older laptop chargers. Hp claims up to 32 hours of battery life depending on what you’re using it for and fast charge capabilities from 0 to 50% in 45 minutes with the included 65w charger. This is very believable to me as I was streaming the RedSox/Tigers game and the battery percentage only dropped 5 to 7% in a little over an hour. This was with the display at the brightest setting also. The new Intel core ultra 7 processor and 16GB ram provide the speed to multitask for all but the most power hungry users. If you’re looking for a well balanced laptop in terms of price and specs, this OmniBook X Flip is a great option.

I've been very happy with this laptop. The OLED display is bright, sharp, and produces beautiful colors. Performance has been excellent for multitasking, research, office work, programming, and everyday use. The 2-in-1 design is convenient, and the touchscreen is responsive and smooth. The build quality feels premium, the keyboard is comfortable to type on, and the battery life easily lasts through a typical workday. The 1 TB SSD provides plenty of storage, and the system boots and loads applications very quickly. Overall, this is a fast, lightweight, and versatile laptop that I would highly recommend to students, researchers, and professionals looking for a reliable Windows Copilot+ PC.

2-in-1s were built for those who need a laptop, but also want the conveniences of a tablet. The HP Omnibook X Flip is an excellent choice as it hits nearly every mark in this segment. At 14”, it’s a very portable device, weighing in at just over 3 pounds. Some of this weight savings comes from the plastic outer shell, which unfortunately doesn’t have the greatest feel when you pick the laptop up. Maybe it’s just my unit, but the back flexes a weird amount. That being said, HP did put quality parts where it counts. The hinge feels sturdy and I trust that it will hold up to years of use. The keyboard is comfortable and responsive and the trackpad is large, providing accurate and reliable control. The standout hardware is definitely the 2K OLED touchscreen. It balances great contrast and perfect blacks with better battery life than a 4K display. It’s responsive to touch with zero lag. Performance wise, this laptop is great for day to day work, email, note taking, and content consumption. This would have been my dream machine when I was in college. Throw tons of tabs with background music or videos at it and it has no problems whatsoever. If you’re a gamer or do heavy video editing, I would look elsewhere as there is no dedicated graphics card. One detail I love about this laptop is the included mini 65W wall charger. The plugs fold in, making it super small and easy to throw in a laptop bag, backpack, purse, fanny pack, or whatever. One thing I wish was included is a stylus. Seeing as this is a 2-in-1, having a stylus, and maybe even a stylus storage area, would have made this even more of a standout device. The only other gripe I have about this laptop is the preinstalled software. Setup takes a hot minute to get through everything and I cannot stand McAfee security. I don’t want to pay for your services. Windows Security does a fine job, thank you. Once it’s set up, cleaned up, and optimized for day to day tasks, this thing is great. I’d highly recommend it as your daily laptop if you’re in the market.
