HP - OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1 - 16" 2K OLED Touchscreen Laptop - AMD Ryzen AI 5 430 (2026) - 16GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Copilot+ - Meteor Silver

I am very happy with this computer overall. The 16" OLED touchscreen looks sharp and colorful, and the 2-in-1 design makes it convenient to use as both a laptop and tablet when needed. It feels well built, runs smoothly for my everyday use, and has been great for browsing, streaming, email, documents, and general productivity. I am not a heavy video editor or gamer, so I cannot speak much to those types of demanding tasks, but for normal day-to-day use this laptop has been more than enough. I also like the larger screen size, the touch display, and the overall design. It is a little bigger than smaller laptops, but that is expected with a 16" screen. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice touchscreen laptop for everyday use, work, school, and entertainment.

Got this laptop for school and it runs extrodinarily well while being able to handle multiple applications fine, Nice metal build quality and hinge seems fine. The only downside is the screen as it has a visible glare if in a bright room.

Picked this up for $700 and honestly, it's an amazing deal. Sure, the keyboard feels a bit cheaper than my 9 year old HP Omen, but this is a mid-range budget laptop. The OLED screen is fantastic with a ton of contrast and vivid colors. Speakers are a 6/10, but most would just use headphones instead. Lots of great features for a budget laptop and I'm happy to stick with HP after my last laptop ran for almost a decade without a single issue.

The new HP Omnibook X Flip Ryzen AI 5 is a versatile hybrid laptop/tablet that will appeal to many. From its robust recycled aluminum construction, sharp colorful screen touchscreen, and battery life, to its flip-to-tablet capability, 10-key, and great speakers, this laptop is designed to be enjoyed. Whether you are a student, a coffee shop aficionado, or simply someone that wants a computer and tablet in one device, the Omnibook X is a pleasure to use. The first thing I notice with the Omnibook series is the premium aluminum construction, which easily rivals the fruity computer company offerings. The aluminum chassis feels and certainly looks premium. The overall aesthetic of this laptop radiates luxury and it will most likely be envied anywhere you take it. There is a heft to this computer, yet it is thin, which makes it feel robust, extremely solid, and a well designed piece of hardware. The keyboard is backlit and even has a 10-key! I would prefer to see a 10-key on most laptops these days. Granted this is a 16” laptop, so it’s a little easier to actually fit the 10-key. This keyboard also feels nice to type on, with minimal travel per keystroke. The font that was chosen for the keyboard characters is very thin, but looks sleek and modern. The backlighting has three levels, off, low, and high, including a timer for auto off. I would honestly prefer one more level of brightness considering the thin character font. As far as performance, users who want an everyday laptop for office tasks, emails, YouTube, Netflix, drawing, and casual gaming, the Omnibook X will have you covered in spades. The screen is sharp, responds to touch well, and looks great in both landscape and portrait mode. Keep in mind that the screen is a 2K 1920x1200 OLED panel. While it is sufficiently bright, the colors pop, and the on-screen text is sharp, you may want to consider a 3K or even 4K screen for professional uses. I generally use this laptop for internet, emails, and YouTube, so the 2K screen is certainly good enough. At night, while winding down, I flip it into tablet mode for social media, or Netflix with Bluetooth headphones if I need to be quiet. When flipping to tablet mode, there is a virtual keyboard that is easily accessible. The virtual keyboard is very responsive, easy to type on, and you can show or hide it quickly when needed. Ultimately, it is super convenient to have one hybrid device that can adapt to most of my day to night tasks. The onboard 16GB of RAM, the Ryzen AI 5 430 processor, and the AMD Radeon 840 GPU can handle most tasks efficiently and without breaking a sweat. Under normal use, this laptop is virtually silent and stays cool to the touch. RAM, NPU, and GPU processors have become much better as technology has progressed, which translates to higher efficiency across the board. Not to mention the overall speed boost you get with solid state (SSD) hard drives. While it may struggle a bit more with graphic intensive applications, such as high resolution 4K video editing, or AAA game titles at peak settings, the Omnibook is still an outstanding computer, and perfectly designed for the everyday user. Needless to say, if you are a hardcore gamer, or a high resolution content creator who needs more processing power, or screen real estate, there are plenty of custom specced laptop options to choose from. Battery life has been positive in my tests so far. HP has this model rated at up to 30 hours, which I can only assume is rated for using the computer with only modest energy efficient settings. That said, I am not using the computer every second of the day, as this is not my official “work” computer. I have used it as intended and for the tasks previously mentioned, with the brightness all the way up, and it always makes it to the end of the day with plenty of battery to spare. The ports on this particular model should be sufficient for most everyday users, which includes 2x 40GB USB-C Thunderbolt 4, 1x HDMI, 1x headphone/mic combo port, and 2x standard USB-A 10GB ports. Personally, I would still love to see a full size SD card slot on all computers. Most people still use SD cards daily for various media types. Whether it is for photos and videos, or music files, an SD card is still standard for media. I realize you can use an adapter, but that is simply one more thing to remember and even lose or forget. HP have included a slim USB-C 65W fast-charge power adapter and detachable cable. I can appreciate companies going this route with their power supplies, instead of making us carry an extra proprietary charging system. This makes the laptop universal as far as charging is concerned. As a content creator, I have several high speed chargers and cables that will work for this laptop, so kudos to HP for not only making it universal, but for also including the charger and cable in the box. If I had one complaint about what is included in this package, it is the fact that they have chosen to exclude any sort of pen or stylus in the box. Being that this is a hybrid laptop that is designed for everyday use, I feel like they should have included the pen for those of us that like to color, or draw, or have kids that would. I would highly suggest that you get a pen if you choose this hybrid laptop. It makes scrolling easier, but it also begs you to be more creative and artistic. As a decades long user of both Windows and Mac, it’s nice to see companies offering Windows computers that not only rival the other guys in terms of build and aesthetic, but also surpass them in distinctive ways as well. ***PROS*** Premium build quality and aesthetic Hybrid laptop / tablet Beautiful OLED touchscreen 10-key backlit keyboard Excellent built-in speakers Great battery life ***CONS*** No SD card slot No pen included 3K or 4K screen would be better

This is an excellent laptop that I really enjoy. The target demographic is anyone looking for a premium media consumption device where visual fidelity is valued above raw computational speed. What you’re paying for here is a versatile 2-in-1 experience: you can flip the screen into a tablet to enjoy vibrant colors and interact directly with the excellent 16-inch OLED display. The size isn't cumbersome and truly sucks you into the media you are watching. Text is sharp and clear, making it great for reading books, browsing webpages, or typing documents. The keyboard feels great, and the speakers are solid. The only real trade-off is the budget processor. If you’re a power user like me who is highly sensitive to latency and hates waiting, you’ll want a different machine. But if you’re a student or professional who uses lightweight apps, types documents, surfs the web, and watches media, this is a fantastic, long-lasting device. Pros: - Screen: The main reason to buy this laptop. The 16-inch OLED provides perfect blacks and punchy colors without feeling overwhelming, thanks to the compact 0.60-inch chassis. It is limited to 60 Hz, but OLED's naturally low latency masks this well with minimal blurring. Minor gripe: The stock color profile is a bit oversaturated compared to a calibrated monitor, and I couldn't find a way to adjust the filter. - Speakers: Front/down-firing speakers that benefit from the larger chassis. They lack heavy bass but provide great mids and highs. Speech is extremely clear, and they get plenty loud (20-30% for music, 50% for media). - Battery & Thermals: Excellent battery life (10–15 hours on balanced/light use; 7–8 hours on high performance). The device stays remarkably cool on the lap, and the fans rarely turn on. When they do, they are quiet and low-pitched. - Keyboard: Excellent. The keys have good depth and a forceful pop, allowing me to comfortably hit my usual 130–150 WPM. It's quiet and an absolute joy to type on all day. Note: The attached numpad shifts the main layout and trackpad to the left, which takes some getting used to. It does come with a white backlight which is uniform. - Trackpad: A solid "diving board" style trackpad with great tracking and palm rejection. The matte material provides good grip, though it made highlighting and dragging with one hand slightly difficult as it provided too much grip. - 2-in-1 Design: Tent mode and tablet mode are welcome additions. The touch screen is very accurate, and the hinge is tight with no bounce while typing. Just be aware that you cannot open the lid with one finger. - Wall Charger: It comes with a fantastic, ultra-portable 65W GaN charger with a detachable USB-C cord (see picture). 10/10 for portability. - Specs: The 512GB SSD maxes out PCIe Gen 4 speeds and is user-replaceable. The 16GB of RAM hits the perfect sweet spot for most users (32GB would be overkill here). - Portability & Size: At just 4.09 lbs and 0.60 inches thick, it doesn't feel like a massive 16-inch laptop. The tapered edges make it feel slim. - Ports & Connectivity: Fantastic selection. It features two USB-C (40 Gbps, PD 3.1, DP 2.1), two USB-A (10 Gbps). One on each side for convenience. Along with a 2.1 HDMI port, and a 3.5mm aux. It also comes equipped with the latest Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 standards. - Windows Hello & AI: Windows Hello facial recognition is superior to a fingerprint reader and works flawlessly. The 50 TOPS NPU puts you on equal footing for current AI features. (I turned off the presence-sensing auto-lock features as I found them gimmicky. But they do work, just interfered with my personal workflow too much). - Build Quality & Shortcuts: The aluminum chassis feels premium, solid, and resists fingerprints. It also features a great row of functional shortcut keys (volume, play/pause, turn off microphone, increase brightness, screen capture, settings, calculator). Cons: - The Processor Trade-off: To afford the premium OLED screen and chassis, HP compromised on the CPU. It handles basic web browsing, typing, video calls, and single-tasking perfectly. However, it struggles with heavy, synchronous multitasking (like downloading large files while on a video call and switching between complex tabs). For intense workloads—compiling code, 4K editing, native AAA gaming—it falls short. While it felt slightly sluggish to my power-user biases, it performs exactly as it should for its price bracket and target demographic. If you want more power, you would have to sacrifice the superior ports, screen, and 2-in-1 design. - Battery Power Performance: You will notice a performance drop when unplugged. On Balanced mode, you lose 41% of single-core and 31.35% of multi-core speed. Pro-Tip: Switching to High-Performance mode reduces this loss to just 18% (single) and 12% (multi) without a massive hit to battery life, making the laptop feel noticeably snappier on the go. - For The Nerds: Plugged-in Cinebench 2026 scores hit 1,678 multi-core and 660 single-core. The 1,678 multi-core score is objectively low compared to modern high-end machines, but it is perfectly adequate for this laptop’s target audience. More importantly, the single-core score of 660 is highly competitive with high end machines. Since single core speeds help with everyday responsiveness (opening apps, navigating Windows) the laptop still feels responsive in normal basic use.
