Customer Ratings & Reviews

Over the past few years, I've been in search of an ultraportable Windows premium laptop that combines everything -- an eye-popping display, a responsive haptic trackpad, a buttery keyboard, long battery life, snappy performance, and easy portability. I've tried the Lenovo X1 Carbon, the Dell XPS, the Lenovo Slim 7x and the Asus Zenbook OLED models. All of those laptops had real strengths, but each fell short in one or more of those categories. The HP OmniBook Ultra Flip checks all of the boxes. * The OLED display is gorgeous and crisp. * It has the best haptic trackpad of any Windows device I've used (although MacBook Pro trackpads are superb), * The keyboard is outstanding with large letters and nice travel. * The battery life is long, and I can easily get through a full day on a single charge. * The Lunar Lake Intel processor is plenty quick, even with multiple Chrome tabs and Office apps open. * It's remarkably light (under 3 pounds) and is easy to tote around in a backpack. There are only four things I'd change if it was possible, and none of these are deal breakers: * The port selection is slim, so business travelers likely will need a dongle. * The bloatware on setup is annoying. * The price tag is a bit steep, but I was able to snap this up on sale. * I'm not fond of the name (does anyone really want to see "flip" in a laptop brand)? Overall, though, this is as close to a perfect business laptop as any I've used.

I have loved having this HP Omnibook laptop. It has the latest tech so I’m getting great battery life (well over a day), OLED screen, and thin and light design. I also had heard good things about the latest Intel Arc graphics on this laptop so I downloaded a few games from Steam. I’m getting nearly 70 FPS on Forza Horizon and even 50 on Hogwarts. I’ve tried a few of the Copilot features and so far they are pretty good but I hope there are more updates coming. The webcam is really sharp. Keyboard is a pleasure to type on. Trackpad does require a bit to get used to. It’s very sensitive. And unlike some other copilot+ laptops, this one actually runs every app or game I throw at it. I’ve read about people not being able to run their printers from the latest Surface Pro. Zero issues here. Thanks HP for a great product. This core ultra processor is super fast without draining the battery. I’d highly recommend this laptop to anyone.

2024 has been an exciting but confusing year for Windows laptop buyers. First came Intel’s Core Ultra 7 Series 1 which improved battery life over last year’s Intel model. Then we saw the Snapdragon processor introduced by HP and others showing off its great performance and efficiency running Windows on ARM on the first Copilot+ PCs. AMD answered with its Ryzen AI series, also offered by HP. Now Intel has answered with its Lunar Lake processors, which are also certified to run AI under Microsoft’s Copilot requirements. As efficient as the ARM based Snapdragon is, some users must also have support for their legacy software that runs on the x86 architecture. With ARM, native software runs efficiently and gets exemplary battery life. But X86 software either runs in emulation which tends to diminish battery life or does not run at all on ARM machines. Lunar Lake handles all your Windows legacy software without a hitch and promises efficiency to compete with Snapdragon. I think it has succeeded. This OmniBook Ultra Flip Core Ultra 7 Series 2 Evo Edition from HP comes in an attractive package with a breathtaking OLED screen sporting 2880 X 1800 3K resolution and 500 nits of brightness. The aluminum case in Eclipse Gray is light at 2.9 lbs, but quite sturdy and cool to the touch- whether starting cold or running all day. It did not heat significantly during my use, and its fan was quiet in the few instances when it actually ran. Key travel is exemplary, and the spacious haptic touchpad is a cinch to use. I have used this computer as a daily driver for almost a week, and it has performed without issue running Windows Office 365 apps for production, web conferencing, and email correspondence. The speakers produce a spacious and non-tinny sound (but who really listens to much audio over laptop speakers?). Battery life can extend to 10 hours or more of real-world use. To get this kind of battery life, of course, you are running the computer in the power efficiency mode, turning down the brightness to about halfway, and letting the computer sleep when you are away from it. Those are reasonable constraints that I always use to increase battery life. If you are going to be gaming, which is not really this model’s forte, or running photo or video editing software, or streaming in HDR with the brightness turned up, your battery life will go down significantly. HP knows how to design a keyboard. It is such a pleasure to type on this machine. For me, key travel could not have been better. The weight and the feel of this machine suited me perfectly. Since it is a 2 in 1 design, it is also possible to use it as a tablet in the tent mode. This is a great convenience when you are trying to show a webpage or a document to someone. There are 3 USB-C ports, all of which offer power delivery and Display Port video. Two of them are Thunderbolt 4, which support DisplayPort 2.1, and one is USB-C 3.1 which supports DisplayPort 1.4a. There is also a headphone/microphone combo jack. The 16GB of LPDDR5X memory and the PCIe 4.0 SSD were speedy, and this machine never bogged down on any task I assigned it. The Intel ARC integrated graphics produced excellent performance on the beautiful OLED screen. I have not used the AI features extensively, and did not on the Snapdragon PC I evaluated earlier. This machine should be ready for those who want to exploit those features with NPU performance of 47 trillion operations per second. I’m learning. Give me time. This laptop succeeds at all levels for me. If it has the features you want, I recommend it highly. When it goes on sale (which is right now as I type this), act immediately!

Amazing 2-in-1 Laptop with Gorgeous Display and Great Performance I’ve been using the HP OmniBook Ultra Flip (Copilot+ PC) for a couple of weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. This thing is fast, sleek, and packed with useful features. The 3K OLED touchscreen is absolutely stunning—super vibrant colors, deep blacks, and razor-sharp text. Watching movies or working on creative projects is a joy. Touch responsiveness is great, and I love being able to flip it into tablet or tent mode when I’m not typing. Performance-wise, the Intel Core Ultra 7 handles everything I throw at it. I use it daily for work (spreadsheets, presentations, video calls, multitasking with multiple tabs/apps open) and it hasn’t slowed down once. The 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD combo gives it plenty of speed and storage. The Copilot+ features are a nice bonus. It’s like having a built-in assistant that helps summarize documents, organize content, and speed up repetitive tasks. It’s still early days for AI on laptops, but I can already see the potential. Battery life is solid, easily lasts me through the day with normal use. The build quality is top-notch—it feels premium but still light enough to carry around. The Eclipse Grey color also looks really sleek in person. Bottom line: If you’re looking for a powerful, future-proof 2-in-1 laptop with an incredible display and great performance, this is totally worth it. Pros: Gorgeous OLED screen Fast performance AI Copilot features are useful Lightweight and premium build Great battery life Cons: A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for

I have been a fan of HP laptops for decades. This OmniBook Flip does not disappoint! Of course, it was packed securely and arrived in pristine condition-- hp knows that many shippers just toss stuff around! Turning it on and using the machine took only a few minutes. Physically, the computer is very light and very thin. This is ideal for use as a travel computer or as a 'sitting on the sofa' computer. The keys and touchpad are quiet and quick. The picture is vibrant and beautiful, the sound is quite good as well! The only thing missing is a CTRL key on the right hand side----- but they replaced it with a MIcrosoft AI copilot key! How easy to jump into AI for information and reassurance on a point. I put the AI copilot through its paces, asking hard questions with followups and I found that the answers were both accurate and succinct. I used the AI to help me find information and videos to replace the carburator on a lawn mower! It opens a separate window from your browser, so they are not connected in any way. Other machine details include charging ports on both back corners-- and they are diagonal, which is helpful. This allows you to place the cord on the side to create the least conflict. But I will say that the battery really lasts most of the day if you don't run a lot of videos. I used it in the morning, closed it and drove a couple of hundred miles to a meeting and types for hours at the meeting, searching the internet and using AI. the "flip" of this machine is very convenient to me because I can tilt the angle of the screen to a perfect slant, flip it back and turn it into a table, or make it a tent to stand up on the counter! I used it that way to follow a recipe in the kitchen. this computer knows its orientation and flips to the right one! Finally, a little feature, but one which is important to me, are the lights on certain keys, like Caps Lock and Mute-- at a glance I know if loud audio will come streaming out when I want to remain silent! Overall, I will say that this HP OmniBook Flip really works for me. With 1TB storage and instant wakeup, I can't go wrong!

As a seasoned technology enthusiast with experience dating back to 1995, I've had the opportunity to evaluate numerous laptops. The HP OmniBook Ultra Flip stands out as a particularly impressive device, exceeding expectations in several key areas. Display and Visuals: The 14-inch 3K OLED touchscreen is a significant highlight. Its vibrant color reproduction, deep blacks, and excellent HDR capabilities deliver a visually stunning experience. Text clarity is exceptional, contributing to comfortable prolonged use. The display's brightness is commendable, ensuring visibility in various lighting conditions. Performance and Efficiency: The Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 256V demonstrates remarkable speed and efficiency. Battery life is a strong suit, consistently providing over 10 hours of usage under demanding workloads. The 16GB of RAM facilitates smooth multitasking and handles resource-intensive applications without noticeable lag. System responsiveness is excellent, with rapid boot times, application launches, and web browsing. The performance of this device is comparable to high end laptops such as the M3 Pro MBP 16 inch. Surprisingly, the device can handle gaming, with playable frame rates of at least 30 fps in titles like Starfield at lower settings. Design and Usability: The laptop's lightweight and portable design enhance its versatility. The 2-in-1 form factor, enabling tablet and tent modes, provides added flexibility for diverse use cases. The keyboard offers a comfortable and efficient typing experience. Audio and Software: The integrated speakers deliver adequate audio when positioned on a flat surface; however, performance is diminished on uneven surfaces. The pre-installed Windows 11 operating system includes some HP bloatware. While HP Sense offers useful features, its frequency can be intrusive. Value Proposition: Acquiring this unit at an open-box price of $800 represents exceptional value. The overall quality and performance of the HP OmniBook Ultra Flip justify its position as a premium device. Conclusion: The HP OmniBook Ultra Flip delivers a premium computing experience, characterized by its stunning OLED display, efficient performance, and versatile design. While minor audio and software considerations exist, the device's strengths significantly outweigh its limitations. HP has produced a highly compelling laptop that caters to power users and enthusiasts alike.

OLED screens really do make a difference in the user experience and having it on a 14” touch-screen laptop is amazing. TL;DR for those who want the pros/cons - details follow. Good: Form factor Flip Keyboard / Touchpad Camera Fingerprint Reader Touch Screen OLED WiFi 7 Storage / Memory USB-C Power (65W) Glossy Screen Bad: I got nothing Meh: No card reader AI stuff Quantity of USB-C ports OK, this is a weird one. I don’t have anything bad to say about a product. Time and time again, I say things like: “really, you went with this proprietary circle plug for an AC adapter.” Or - “No fingerprint reader?” Or: “What a weak webcam.” For this HP Flip OmniBook Ultra, it checks all the boxes for me - which I outline above but here I go with more details. The main piece: Co-Pilot AI. Unless you press the “mute mic” button, this thing listens and lies to you if you tell it to stop listening - and subsequently tells you that it won’t listen any further. The responses are fine, but somewhat limited but some basic programming tasks didn’t seem to be a problem. I’m sure some more training will get Co-Pilot into a better place but until then, it’s a bit thin. Given that, I assign this a “meh” rating. Well, that and it listens and can’t be stopped by telling it to stop. Oh and Windows 11. It’s Windows 11 and for what it’s worth in my week of use, behaved well. Another great feature that I was quite envious of with my wife's laptop - so, bend the keyboard back and have a 14” tablet. On a side not, a 14” laptop is a great size and in keeping with the tradition, they don’t try to sneak a number pad off to the side; I really do enjoy typing straight on with the keyboard. Speaking of the keyboard - it’s backlit and the typing is clean. At the top right, the ‘blue’ power button is also a fingerprint reader. At the top, are a few very handy buttons - like the calculator and the snipping tool, on top of the traditional volume / screen brightness and projector / display extender. Now, this webcam - it’s fantastic. I’ve put it side-by-side in lower light + normal light and the wide angle combined with clarity and the ability to follow the presenter is great. Since I have a face for radio, I’ll save you the picture of me and give you a kitchen image. Now this OLED screen. It’s fantastic AND it’s a touch screen. I have 2 other OLED laptops - one is touch and the other is not but they’re both 15.6” – and I really appreciate this one more; this laptop has such great color, clarity with an almost 3-D like appearance with photos and graphics. A glossy screen makes the clarity better in my opinion, but is more susceptible to glare and reflections. A pretty efficient i7 EVO combined with a 1TB NVMe and 16GB of memory (RAM) - should be the gold standard for laptops - well, the NVMe + RAM should be and this checks the box for me, yet again. On top of that, 802.11be - WiFi 7 (6GHz) - is part of the deal, is available and worth it. To wrap it up - this laptop has some cool angled USB ports, also used for power - 3 of them, so you may need to invest in a port extender to get things like USB-A and a card reader, which I do miss about this but given its size and thickness, it’s something I can sacrifice. Recommended!

Superb. Guess that was a Spoiler Alert. Truth is, I don’t often get excited over new equipment, often. Though sometimes I do, and this is one of those times. Early takes, stylish case and really like the keyboard and key placement. Suits my hands quite well for efficient error free typing. The setup was smooth and well done. The only issue I had was MacAfee antivirus was pre-installed and hosed down my first installation after installing my security suite not realizing MacAfee was installed. The HP OmniBook Ultra Flip - Copilot+ over the weekend quickly found a spot in my home office lab, on top of my desk. It is unique in ways I find topflight and leaves me asking why no one thought of the ideas previously. The OmniBook Ultra is following a “very” recent trend of moving away from older connectors and provides only USB-C, two Thunderbolt and one standard USB-C. This is my second laptop with this approach, found that it makes sense in that systems need to move the technology forward. It was not a difficult move forward for me as having a USB-C dongle with USB-A and Display Port capability. The OmniBook Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2 Evo Edition CPU has AI NPU (neural processing units) baked into the CPU chip. The inclusion of NPU technology is a significant trend, I believe that soon all computers/cell phones will have NPU, along with the Co-Pilot key. For a wider understanding of AI NPU read Best Buy’s “Features” section for the OmniBook Ultra product listing. My first impression of AI, many months ago, was not exciting, though as Co-Pilot matured as it is designed, I found the technology quite useful. Often will go to the AI key when looking for information. One new unique adaptation on the laptop was the position of the USB connecters; the one USB-C is located to the left rear corner diagonally. The two USB-C Thunderbolts are located to the right rear, one diagonally and the other flush along the side. Convenient knowing which tech is located which side. The placement in innovative. Using a Bamboo pen that pairs nicely with the pc, which assists in note taking and organizing studies. Though I don’t believe the use of stylus pen was mentioned in doc’s I found that the right side of the pc has a magnetic point for securing a pen. Notes & Likes: - Fast Silky Smooth operation - Wi-Fi 7 Speeds of 5.8 Gbps in office and 3.8 Gbps across the house from Wi-Fi -7 router - Facing camera has touch security shutter - simply swipe finger to close or open - 2.8K OLED is brilliant - “Eyesafe Certified display” Certified low blue light display - Touchscreen, Touchpad and Pen operations precise and smooth - SSD: Micron 2400 MTFDKBA1T0QFM - PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD - fast - good brand - Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2 Evo Edition 256V - The system is designed with Focus on Security - “Built for AI. Engineered to Do It All.” The OmniBook is built for Leading Edge AI This is a short list of the OmniBook Ultra’s technology and capabilities – in short, The OmniBook hits all the right notes. Fact is the list of all the specs would take pages, please visit Best Buy’s website for the whole story. It is a story with a Happy Ending I have stacks of laptops and PC’s in my home lab and the OmniBook Ultra has made a great impression on me. Take a close look at The OmniBook Ultra, it’s well worth your time.

Exactly what I was looking for! This Next Gen AI Copilot+ PC laptop from HP is a combination of looks, performance and mobility without compromising on any aspect. First comes the look and feel of this gorgeous laptop, ultra-thin, compact and light weight. I couldn’t have asked for a better-looking laptop in cool looking Eclipse Gray color. I like to carry it around to keep my to-do list completed and up to date. The screen display is 2.8 K OLED with a 2880 x 1800 resolution that gives great watching experience, and the colors are exactly the way I see them in real life. The has a clear edge over the traditional LED screens due to richer contrast and enhanced color depth. To top it all, this display is Eyesafe certified to protect my eyes and reduce the eyestrain when working for long period of time. I like the backlit keyboard which enables me to use it even when the surrounding lights are slightly dark and helps to use it effectively. Let’s look at some of the other impressive features that make this laptop outstanding. This has the latest AI accelerating Intel technology that is the key to get elevated performance while utilizing the best with AI-enhanced video and audio tools. With the use of Copliot+ PC, I can instantly transform my text prompts or draft ideas into a piece of artwork without putting in a lot of effort. The Recall feature adds the capability to find the content that is best suited to the prompt that is being used, for example provide Live Captions while understanding new languages. With all new Start menu in Windows 11, it let me explore the unlimited ways to think, express and create new content or connect with my favorite people. This is engineered to deliver superior performance and its fast-charging battery easily last the entire day irrespective of the usage and I have seen that it’s performance doesn’t get impacted on the battery life. But the good news is that just like its impressive performance, this can charge from 0 to 50% in no time, approximately in 45 minutes. I have noticed a significant improvement in activities like unlocking the laptop, authenticating my profile as this laptop utilizes biometric identifier technology and my fingerprint helps to access the computer almost instantly. I am impressed by it’s Presence sensing capabilities as it automatically wakes up the laptop immediately as I get on the laptop or lock it when I have stepped away. For a gamer like me, the built-in Intel Arc Graphics provides the right set of performance and AI capabilities to have an immersive experience. The video and audio calls’ experience are aided by it 9MP IR AI camera which presents clear images and videos even in darker environments. This is well supported by Poly Studio Audio quad speakers to provide the best listening experience. The much talked about performance can be linked to its power efficient RAM that supports higher data rates with minimum latency and faster file transfers and application load. This is further supported by PCIe NVMe SSD storage that is apparently 15 times faster than a traditional HD. Overall it’s a great laptop because it does everything I need, and I enjoy using it every day.

I really like this laptop, but I have a few minor issues that I think could have been better addressed with HP. First the design is very sleek and high-end, I think it looks nicer than most of the other laptops I have seen. It is very light and super thin making it easy to carry around in a bag or in your hands. The screen folds back easily to form a tablet and the hinges feel strong. The touch screen is easy to use and picked up my hand movements like a regular tablet. The screen is very bright, good deep colors, and super clear. I watched a movie on this and screen looked similar to my high end 4k tv, perfect for travel. The keyboard is probably one of the best I have used on a laptop. The keys are large enough to not hit two at once. The letters on the keys are huge and easy to see, perfect for someone who has trouble seeing the smaller letters. I don't like that the power button has no indicator that it's the power button, HP just made it a light blue with a line light on it. The touch pad is very large and easy to use, and I haven't yet swiped it while typing on the computer. This laptop only has three USB inputs but two are in an awkward spot and one being on the side. You have to use one of these USB inputs to charge, so you are left with two to connect devices. Two of the USB inputs are on the backside corners of the laptop. One of my USB C adapters is a little thicker and cannot be used in those spots since it wouldn't allow the screen to fully open. I wish HP would have put these on the sides of the computer for ease of use. Since the USB ports are all USB c you are limited as to what you can do with them. Most, if not all of my devices (webcam, flash drives, etc) do not have USB C connecters. So, this means you have to buy adapters to use anything. I have a USB C adapter that I bought for my tablet that also works with this HP computer. The adapter has two regular USB ports and an HDMI port, these are cheap, and I would strongly recommend one with HDMI so you can easily connect to different displays. If you're planning on adding additional RAM you will be sorry to hear that the 16gig is soldered in place. For me 16gig is plenty for the type of work I do on this computer, and I didn't experience any slowdowns or issues even with multiple programs open. The hard drive can be swapped out, but 1tb should be plenty for most users. I did like the headphone jack on the left side. I still use wired headphones and it's nice that they still support this input. The speakers on this computer are pretty good too. I have a gaming laptop and the speakers in this HP sound way better even though they are in a smaller laptop. I played around with the copilot and had fun creating random images or getting helpful information when doing research. While I do think copilot is pretty great, it still needs improvement as some of the pictures or information wasn't perfect. I have had the computer off the charge since this morning watching TV, using internet explorer, running reports, etc and its only down to 70% after five hours. Keep in mind I was on and off the computer during that time and closed the lid to conserve power. My brightness setting for the display was at the medium setting. I feel like this computer could last me pretty much all day on battery if doing lite work. I only gave this computer four stars because of the soldered-on RAM and the strange placement of the USB ports. Overall, I really do like this computer and will be using it every day going forward. I appreciate the lightweight, thin, and compact design of this HP computer.

I have been using the HP Specter lineup since 2017 and I was really disappointed when they discontinued it. But I have become a huge fan of the Omni book lineup. The design is very similar to the HP specter but I really like the curve edges instead of the bit Pointy ones that the Specter had. Let me start with the battery life. I think it is a huge improvement over the previous HP Specter, in huge part because of the Intel lunar lake processors. I would really have liked for these processors to have more than eight course but I guess it is what it is and the blame here is to be put on Intel not HP. The keyboard is pretty decent, I think the previous HP Specter had a tiny bit more key travel but the Omni book still has a pretty good key travel and the belt quality is really good. Because I use a screen reader all the time and not use trackpad much if at all so I cannot comment on that but really like the glossy finish of the trackpad. The display is pretty good with regards to contrast and colors but previously HP Specter usually had 4K displays so I was bit disappointed that this is only a 3K display, but really like the variable refresh rate. A 4K display with this refresh rate would have been amazing, but this is still pretty solid. The screen is a bit more reflective than I would have liked, but I usually don’t use my laptops out in the sun, so doesn’t really bother me that much. The port selection I think is reasonable. A USB type a would have been nice, but I really don’t mind not having it at all. The two USB type C ports in the back corners. I feel are a bit at a weird angles because at times I had some difficulty plugging in certain peripherals And felt like that the screen is putting pressure downwards on those connections. Finally, the performance it’s pretty solid for every day productivity and some light to medium coding and development. I don’t use this device at all for any of my machine learning projects, but I am pretty sure that processor can handle some basic machine learning. But overall, I think it is a pretty solid device. The only reason I returned it back to Best Buy is because this model came with 16 GB of memory for almost around $1700 and I was able to get 32 GB of memory from HP for $1400 in the blue color which I like over the grey color.

About a month ago, my beloved 2 in 1 laptop that I had since 2018 suddenly slowed down. Or at least it felt like it was sudden. I LOVED that laptop since it was my companion for six years. Even with it slowing down to the point where I was typing fast than it could process and it struggled to wake up from standby mode, I was reluctant to believe that it could be replaced. And yet, here I am writing a glowing review for this HP OmniBook Ultra Flip. Packaging and Setup: The box that the OmniBook arrives in is simple but in a good way. You have the laptop, and the power cord. And that is all that is required. Since I already had a Microsoft profile, transferring it over was really easy. My Microsoft Office that I purchased in 2019 carried over without any issues, allowing me to continue projects that I was in the middle of. However, if you are using an external hard drive to transfer your items from your previous PC or laptop, then there might be an issue if it uses a standard USB cord. The HP Omni uses USB-C ports. You are going to need a USB-C to USB adapter if whether you’re using an external hard drive or in one of my situations, I use a USB dongle to customize my sound preferences on some gaming equipment. This is where the adapter comes into play. Sure, you can say that this isn’t convenient but as laptops are getting thinner, that means that ports are getting smaller. And I will mention that there is NO HDMI port. So, if you’re looking for device that you want to screen share onto a monitor via HDMI then you this Omni cannot help you. But there is a standard headphone jack built into this laptop. Design, Display and Performance: The HP Omni is not fragile just because it’s thin. It looks and feels sleek with its brushed metal appearance but at the same time, it is durable. The touchscreen glass doesn’t feel flimsy when you glide and tap your fingers across it. As I mentioned earlier, there are three USB-C ports. Two of which are Thunderbolt ports. They are like USB-C ports but work faster when it comes to data transferring. The two Thunderbolt ports are on the right side while the standard USB-C is on the left corner while one of the Thunderbolt ports is on the right corner. I really appreciate these locations because overall, this makes for less wear and tear on cables that don’t have to strain by being bent in either direction. The 14” screen has a vibrant OLED display. I hate to admit it, but this OMNI looks better to watch movies on compared to my previous device. The quad Poly Studio speakers provide an enjoyable listening experience. I found it odd that the speakers are located under the laptop which creates a slight muffled audio if the Omni is in laptop mode and on your lap but if you flip it to Tablet mode then the speaker sound seems wider. The keyboard is backlit and will dim when the Omni goes into hibernation to save energy. If you’re looking to have a remote Zoom meeting, then the Omni provides a 9-megapixel camera to allow you to look your best. Then the performance of this HP Omni is remarkable! Granted, my previous laptop was working off an Intel 7 8th Gen processor but even when it was at its peak, I don’t recall it being as fast as the Intel Core Ultra 7 that is under the hood of this Omni. You’re going to find that everything is buttery smooth on this device. And if you’re an artistic creator, then you’re going to have a field day with the AI assistants that are built within this device. The Copilot and the HP AI Companion provide various avenues to expand your art creativity. I won’t get into the weeds of it all, but you will spend hours experimenting and perfecting your unique vision. Does It Play Games? I play my games on consoles but there are times when I will utilize Cloud Gaming with titles like Deadspace Remake, Fallout 4 or Cuphead (a personal favorite of mine). These titles are played via the Xbox Cloud service. There wasn’t any lag, and the performance was responsive as if I was playing on my Xbox itself. The visual fidelity was solid considering that it is Cloud gaming compared to if I was playing directly from my hard drive. I should mention here that the HP Omni uses the latest Wi-Fi 7 technology, giving you faster speeds to game on. It Gets Warm: The only issue I have with this HP Omni is that it tends to get warm while being on my actual lap. I was watching some videos while having Microsoft Word running in the background and the bottom of the Omni (in laptop mode) got warm. Not hot, but warmer than I am accustomed to. I cannot say if that is a note of concern, but I wanted to have full disclosure with this review. Closing: I am really enjoying the HP Omni Ultra Flip. Brilliant design, durable, fast and AI assistant tools that I am eager to explore in greater detail. While I am sad to say goodbye to my old laptop, that sadness will be a distant memory as I move forward with this Omni Ultra Flip.

It seems to me that day by day we need different tools and applications to complete our daily tasks. A laptop is one of those tools that allows us to perform different tasks and be portable, besides being able to connect to a screen, a mouse and keyboard and serve as a desktop PC. This HP OmniBook Ultra Flip laptop is a versatile device with enough power to perform demanding tasks and why not also for personal entertainment. In the box comes the laptop along with its 65W usb c charger, a quick start guide and nothing else. The laptop has a 14” screen, a size that makes it very practical. The display is OLED 2.8K, represents colors very well, has a brightness more than enough, it is a touch display that responds quickly and images and videos look great, it is one of the strengths of this device. Regarding the design, it is a discreet, compact, lightweight laptop. The location of the usb c ports seemed interesting to me, the corners are a little used area and that they are in that position looks great. The edges of the display are relatively thin. At the top is the camera and sensors. On top of the webcam there is a cover to hide or show the camera, a very useful extra security feature. Speaking of the webcam the quality leaves a little to be desired, although the webcam fulfills its function and you can change some settings, you need good lighting to get a better result. This device has a 360 design that allows you to use the laptop as a tablet, that is, by turning the display completely and using it with your fingers or with an HP stylus. The speakers are located at the bottom, at the base of the laptop, it has an acceptable quality, the sound is good and complies effectively, however it is an area that can be improved. The touchpad is a perfect size, during the time I have been doing work and editing on this pc I have not had any inconvenience related to the palm of my hand accidentally touching the touchpad. The sensitivity is just right, it doesn't take too much pressure to click, it's just right, the fingers glide nicely over the surface and the shortcuts are handled quite accurately and intuitively. It seems simple but if the touchpad is not well balanced it may not be the best user experience. The battery is a section where this device performs very well. With just one charge you can use this laptop for several hours. Working on editing projects or playing a video game the autonomy surprised me, more than 7 hours straight and in less demanding uses about 10. Of course it depends on the chosen configuration and the programs used, but in general this laptop has a durable battery. The keyboard is well illuminated, has very useful shortcuts, the letters on the keys are big enough, the power button is also the fingerprint reader (which by the way works quite well), the keys sound very little when pressed and has an excellent spacing between them, it is actually very easy and comfortable to type on this keyboard (this review is being written on this laptop). Regarding performance, the laptop can handle many programs, from home office, video editing programs, photography, audio, casual gaming (not for competitive gaming), multimedia content consumption, Copilot AI, design, etc. Despite running different programs and web pages at the same time, the fans do not generate much noise, it is actually a very quiet laptop in this regard. The combination of the Intel Core ultra 7 CPU, with the 16 GB of DDR5 ram, 1TB SSD -nvme and Intel Arc graphics, make this device work quickly and efficiently. In summary, I think this laptop is ideal for content creators, students, or for those who work at home, as well as for those who need a powerful and kind of lightweight device that can be transported to different places. If you need a laptop ready for AI, with a good processor, that makes little noise and does not get too hot, with an elegant and minimalist design, that the battery lasts several hours and does not weigh much, this HP Omnibook Ultra flip laptop is for you. I can highly recommend it.

What I like most is how slim it is, the battery lasts a long time, and the screen looks great. It can even handle some light 4K video editing if you need it to. If you’re looking for more power though, you’re probably better off with a desktop that has a dedicated graphics card. Otherwise, you’ll end up sacrificing battery life for the extra performance.

The display, trackpad and build quality are the highlights of this laptop. The OLED screen has amazing color accuracy and brightness (with some expected reflectivity as it is glossy). The trackpad is perfectly sized and is haptic, providing exceptional feedback and smooth scrolling. The weight and build of the laptop ease concerns for durabilty, with a sleek metal build and lightweight. Performance in day to day office tasks is in line with what you expect from core ultra 7 processor: snappy, quick and no lag. Charging can be done through any of the 3 USB c ports which are present on both sides. They are not all thunderbolt 4 ports nonetheless. Battery life unfortunately doesn't come close to the advertised run time with the laptop lasting 7-8 hours on <50% brightness and running day to day office tasks. It does charge quickly though! Typing experience has generally been pleasant with good feedback. As with all laptops, would advise to try in store as this is a very subjective experience. At the price point, the laptop in my opinion should provide better battery life, the pen should be included in the box and some anti-reflective treatment on the screen should have been applied. Performance also maybe a little better as there appears to be some throttling when doing more intense work.

HP continues its tradition of innovation as it introduces the very best laptop available today. The HP - OmniBook Ultra Flip - Copilot+ PC is the latest example. Featuring a 14" 2.8K OLED Touch-Screen with 2880 x 1800 resolution & Corning Gorilla Glass 5, an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 16GB memory & a 1TB SSD ultra fast drive, this is a fully loaded screaming machine! HP calls the color "Eclipse Gray". This dark gray color perfectly blends with virtually any office or home. The haptic touchpad is oversize; the keyboard is backlit & the keys are large, further enhancing the ease of use. The bezel around the screen is the smallest I have ever seen. There is a 90% screen to body ratio, so the display really jumps out at you. Fast Bluetooth & WiFi, Intel Arc graphics & long battery life add to this dream machine. I really like the power button; it has an integrated fingerprint reader that I set up to unlock the laptop & authenticate me. This brings up the computer faster than ever, with no need to enter a password. The Windows Copilot Key provides one touch help by accessing AI. This benefit will improve over time, as greater AI support is added. CONCLUSION: The HP - OmniBook Ultra Flip - Copilot+ PC is the best laptop I have ever tested. The stunning detail & bright colors on the screen to review photographs & video, combined with Poly Studio Audio featuring four speakers, place this laptop in a class by itself. It earns my highest recommendation.

Great laptop! Fast, vivid OLED screen, and comfortable keyboard with haptic trackpad. Was hesitant buying as open box but got it for over $1000 off and functions as new. Would do it again.

The HP OmniBook Ultra Flip is a wonderful laptop, responsive and elegant with a stunning OLED screen. It is a pleasure to use, and I find myself liking it even more as I continue to use it. Just about everyone has their own opinions regarding Microsoft, Windows 11 and AI in general, and it seems appropriate to confine this review to the HP laptop itself. After completing initial setup, I ran the PassMark performance tests. Processor, memory and I/O performance were very good, scoring in the 72nd, 78th and 84th percentile respectively. Overall system performance was in the 66th percentile, pulled down a bit by the laptop's Intel Arc graphics which produced 2D and 3D graphics scores in the 51st and 37th percentile. I also ran the GFXBench performance tests, and found that reported graphics scores were often very close to a GTX 960M or GTX 1060. Wireless support includes WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. The laptop easily hits my internet service limit of 500 Mbps up/down over WiFi 6 and WiFi 7 connections when near the router, and drops to about 450 Mbps when 30 feet from a WiFi range extender with minor obstructions. The mechanical design is sleek, thin and light yet sturdy. The laptop feels solidly built, there is nothing flimsy or fragile about it, and I like the keyboard and trackpad on this laptop. The keys are well sized, nicely laid out and easy to read, and backlit with bright, dim and off settings. The trackpad is large and easy to use, with haptic feedback making it easy to control drag/drop and scroll operations. There is no ambiguity about trackpad physical boundaries as with some laptops. Physical port options consist of two Thunderbolt 4 ports with power delivery and 40 Gbps USB-C signaling, a USB-C port with power delivery and 10 Gbps signaling, and the ubiquitous HP headphone/microphone combo audio jack. Connections to older USB-A form factor connectors and to wired Ethernet, DisplayPort, HDMI and 3.5mm audio can be made with specific USB-C adapters, or through a powered docking station that supports multiple interfaces and laptop charging. Power consumption and battery life are impressive, especially considering overall system performance. The device barely gets warm in normal operation, and HP notes "all day battery life" with continuous 1080p FHD video playback at 200 nits brightness and WiFi on but not connected. The battery charges to 50% capacity in 45 minutes. Of the many things I like about this laptop, my clear favorite is the display. The 2880 x 1800 14" OLED screen is amazing in every respect. This resolution in a 14" screen produces ridiculous clarity and sharpness, and the OLED technology results in superb color and contrast with a true black that makes the transition from screen to adjacent glass bezel impossible to see. The viewing angle issues I've grown accustomed to living with are non-existent. This is easily the best screen I've ever used. The 9MP camera produces a sharp, clear image and comes with a mechanical privacy shutter. Facial recognition is great, it's very convenient to sit down in front of the laptop and have it unlock automatically. Internal speaker audio quality is surprisingly good, there is plenty of volume with clear and accurate mid-range and high frequencies. Low frequencies are adequate, but like all thin mobile devices and laptops, there just isn't enough physical volume to do a great job with low frequency reproduction. It's hard to say how much use is being made of the internal NPU, I presume it is being used for certain supported operations like image processing and facial recognition, while Copilot and other AI LLM queries go to a cloud server. The NPU appears in the task manager but I've been unable to get it to register any activity. I've read about the same issue with other new NPU-enabled systems and it seems to be a software issue. The laptop comes with typical partner software offers for things like cloud storage, security and gaming that you may or may not be interested in, and they are generally easy to uninstall, disable or just ignore. One minor issue I've noticed is that USB-C adapters with a relatively large body don't play nicely with the two angled USB-C ports on the laptop rear corners, because the adapter body interferes with the corner of the cover when open. There is no interference with a typical USB-C cable connector. The HP OmniBook Ultra Flip is really a pleasure to use. The performance is great, applications are responsive and stable, the OLED screen is amazing and the keyboard feels solid and smooth. All of this contributes to the general impression of a very high quality laptop that was well designed and manufactured, and will provide a long and useful service life.

I think the HP OmniBook Ultra is a Versatile Powerhouse. It is a sleek and powerful 2-in-1 laptop that delivers exceptional performance in a compact, premium design. Performance: Powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7, this laptop handles multitasking, creative work, and light gaming with ease. It runs smoothly even with demanding applications, making it a great choice for professionals and power users. Storage: With 1TB, there’s ample space for files, programs, and media, and the SSD ensures rapid boot-up times and seamless file access. Display: It is a looker - vibrant colors, deep blacks, and ultra-sharp details make it a joy to use for streaming, designing, and everyday tasks. The touchscreen is responsive and enhances usability in tablet mode. Battery Life: Battery performance is solid but compared to what other buyers say I get around 6-8 hours on moderate use. Nonetheless that is close enough for a full workday. Portability: It is highly portable and perfect for me since I am frequently on the go. The 360 ability adds flexibility in any mode. Noise Level: It remains whisper-quiet under light to moderate workloads. Under heavy tasks, the fan kicks in but it does not bother me. Final Verdict: This OmniBook is an excellent choice for users who need a powerful, stylish, and versatile 2-in-1 laptop with a great display. While battery life could be slightly better (4.5), its performance and features more than make up for it. Highly recommended!

I’ve been using the HP OmniBook Ultra Flip for a couple of weeks, and I’m truly impressed. The 14" 3K OLED display is stunning—colors are vibrant, and the touch response is smooth and accurate. The Intel Core Ultra 7 processor makes multitasking seamless, and with 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD, performance is snappy with zero lag. Battery life is decent—easily lasts me a full day with mixed usage. The build is sleek and professional-looking in Eclipse Grey, and the 2-in-1 flip functionality is perfect for meetings and creative work. Copilot+ integration is a nice bonus that improves productivity. Highly recommended for students, professionals, and anyone who wants speed and flexibility in a compact laptop.
