Customer Ratings & Reviews

The HP Omnibook Ultra Flip Copilot+ Laptop Is a high-quality PC with some added AI features built in, though if you're a PC Gamer know that this is not designed to be a gaming laptop (and will not be reviewed/rated as such). The 2.8k OLED touchscreen display (featuring dark blacks, impressive bright colors, and incredible contrast [or differences in brightness levels]) looks absolutely gorgeous, especially with the default black background colorful Windows 11 wallpaper. The screen flips all the way around If you want to use it without the keyboard in the way (like "tablet mode"). The keyboard itself has a very nice feel, you can hear the keypresses as you type, and features a fingerprint sensor on the power button. The install process did not prompt me to set up the fingerprint sensor, but I was able to do that in the settings menu later on. I find the fingerprint more preferred to facial recognition, because facial recognition can unlock it when I don't intend to -- also, it takes just a tap of the finger to sign in with the fingerprint (very fast). This machine is also very lightweight/portable. As per ports, I was only able to locate two of them. One is the USB-C port which is also the power port, and the other seems to be a headphone jack. The major negative of only one USB-C port is if you are charging you can't plug in external USB devices, you'd only be able to use them in battery mode. It's possible you can find some kind of USB-C hub (not included) which might let you charge while at the same time using external devices. I wasn't able to test the headphone port as all of my current headphones are Bluetooth, which of course is also supported. However, without headphones, the quad speaker "Poly Studio" system provides crystal clear sound, loud enough for laptop use, and possibly the best quality sound I've ever heard from a laptop speaker (even comparing it to my MacBook Air M2). You can find the Poly Studio logo on the left edge of the laptop. It seems to support a subset of the Studio Effects (camera effects via AI) when compared with two other Snapdragon based machines I have. Also, when I tried the Automatic Framing (software based) it didn't seem to work - on the Snapdragon machines, as I would move around the screen It would zoom in to keep me in the center gradually, here on the HP it didn't seem to do anything. While I was testing In the evening, i notice the color shifting on the web camera too, which wasn't great, but the picture was clear. The initial set up took an unnecessarily long time to complete, though that may be Microsoft's fault. That is, the setup was interrupted to install a mandatory (not background downloaded) update before letting you set anything other than Wi-Fi up. I don't know exactly how long it took, but after about ten minutes it was like 5-10% done so I went and did other things and came back an hour later and at that point it was ready to proceed with setup. Wi-Fi 7 works great when connected to our Eero Max 7 on Optimum Fiber internet, I took a snapshot (possibly attached to this review) of getting over 500Mbit/s download and upload speeds, with a 5ms ping time, we pay for 500Mbit service so we can't ask for much faster. As per battery, after 30 minutes of usage (while unplugged) it did not go down even 1%. Let's just assume 1% per 30 minutes (it might be significantly better than that), that's 3000 minutes (or about 50 hours) per charge it would get, which for an Intel based machine traditionally would be unheard of in my experience. I am very impressed by the battery. This may be the first Intel-based PC I could wholeheartedly recommend (despite the USB-C Port limitations) in a long time (again, unless you’re a gamer and are not comfortable streaming games through services like the Xbox App Subscription).

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.

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 like most people, I'm normally biased to windows based laptops having the highest specs in certain areas, but I became very interested in this model due to it being one of the first options with an Intel Lunar Lake SoC. While I have had and used stronger laptops in regards to overall CPU/GPU performance, there's always short comings in one area or another. For example: My previous daily driver had an 8 core 16 thread AMD 8945HS Zen4 chip. It was obviously quite balanced and powerful relative to other market options, but it did struggle to hold its own versus something like a MacBook with Apple silicon when it came to sheer battery life.. Even when trying to optimize it with 3rd party programs and modifying power plans via windows itself. Enter the HP Omnibook Ultra Flip. With Intel's focus on battery and mobility spec, I can't say I wasn't curious.. All day battery while being super light and thin like the target competitor, but also offering OLED, 120Hz Variable Refresh rate, and a touch screen..? Yes please. PROS: *The screen is absolutely gorgeous. I believe it uses an alt variation of the original Samsung 120hz model that showed up in early laptops this year. The benefit of this one is that it offers higher brightness and actual touch capability. It also looks a bit better than the non touch version IMO. That one hurts my eyes a little more. *The Battery life capability is the real deal. While I modified my older laptop to downclock via power plan, Intel CPU's seem a bit more refined in this area. I don't know if its OEM settings on my other laptop being overclocked out the gate.. but this one actually drops its clocks without fussing with power plans. I haven't really touched it, but its extremely competitive with the modern day MacBook.. which I would consider the benchmark and main competitor based on CPU spec. *Speaking of CPU.. CPU-Z bench pushes this in the high 700 range. I've seen 760 single core max score.. which is competitive with last years Raptor Lake HX in this area. MT is only in the 5000 range which is weaker than typical competition, but its only a 4+4 core setup with 8 total threads. I'd say the performance is as expected for something that doesn't have hyperthreading. It's closest competitor is the Apple M3. The is also fan is quiet and doesn't get audible at all while browsing and doing basic tasks. *The overall design, Keyboard, trackpad and audio are all above my expectations. HP really outdid themselves on the overall ID and attention to detail. Like seriously.. I'm VERY impressed. Charging cable is also braided on one end. Brick is also smaller for being 65w. *WIFI 7 BE201 card and MLO capability actually WORKS! I have a 4x4 WIFI7 router and the 320mhz bonded channels allow for higher speeds at further range. This laptop outclasses my previous one in DL speed at around 2x faster performance. CONS: *I had an issue where the accelerometer just stopped working properly in regards to orientation of where the screen rotates on its own. Ended up having to manually set it to default landscape mode and it later fixed itself. Very strange bug. It's possible the above is related to the Camera and AI sense capabilities. I had the camera shutter cover on prior, but I'm not really able to trigger this issue anymore, so I'm not too worried. Just something to note if anyone else experiences it. I did end up BIOS updating the unit and I haven't seen it since. *The 16GB of LPDDR5 ram is soldered to the SoC and you cant really upgrade it. (Intel 256V) This isn't a major con per say, but I still would rather let people know about that short coming --- On the plus side it's very fast spec at 8533 MT/S.. and you can really tell relative to other laptops with standard DDR5 @ 4800 MT/S. Snappy. Maybe both a pro and con? The 32GB version of the Lunar lake CPU (258V) avoids this downside all together as it's also 8533 MT/S spec. *The bottom grill next to the fans is a particle magnet. This is likely the only design oversight I'm not too fond of.. Refer to photos. *Likely not the best gaming laptop. The GPU is half decent, but HP's overall design prob inhibits the graphical prowess. As I mentioned, the fans don't get very loud. OVERALL: This is absolutely an excellent machine. While I would have liked to see 32GB spec via 258v variant of the Lunar lake CPU, there aren't many devices that can check as many boxes as this one. Excellent aluminum unibody design, 3x USB-C (2 of them lighting ports), Great speakers, Great trackpad with haptic feedback, Great keyboard with heavy chicklet style key's and an overall amazing OLED 2880x1800 touch screen with 120hz VRR @ 400 nits max brightness.. all of that under 3LB's weight.. and yeah it flips. I don't know why I expected much worse, but I'm overall glad I tried this one. 5/5. 100% going to be my new daily driver.

This laptop is looks great, is fast and very able for a lot of AI generative tasks. Out-of-the-box, it is pretty easy to set up, like any other PC, with the exception that its design elements and the comfort it brings makes me very engaged in using this machine. First of all, it is beautiful. The matte black finish is smudge safe. It says Eclipse Gray but it looks more like black to me—or maybe dark gray. The case is solid and the hinges are tight but they move smoothly. It is light for its size-- that’s why I can’t open the lid with one finger because it carries the laptop out of position. Don’t get me wrong, light does not mean it is not durable. The materials look high-quality and very intact. It looks so good, I will not be embarrassed to carry this to important meetings. For a 14-inch, it is pretty slim and compact vs 13s, and again, light considering this has an OLED screen. It is bright enough for me to work at my patio, and the darks are so deep, something expected in an OLED, that the default Windows wallpaper looks like it is floating in a dark room. The touch is very responsive and though it does not come with a pen, I am glad it is compatible with my MPP2.0 pen, I can easily write scribble and do my photoshop lasso selections precisely. The laptop folds backwards so it makes it easy to draw on it. The 14 is such a perfect size for on-the-go graphic designing. Plus, on tent mode, it is already compact as it is, but on my desk, it saves even more space. It only has two ports—one for headphones/mic and a Thunderbolt 4. It will work for me because I dock and use multiple screens. So I use all the other ports on my dock. For traveling though, if I will need more than that, like my portable SSD that uses a USB A 3.2, I will have to carry a small hub. This helps the machine to be compact though because most people use Bluetooth peripherals—mouse, keyboard, headphones. It has its built-in camera with a privacy slider (nice touch!), so you technically have what you will mostly need for a daily driver. The integrated graphics card seems to make 160hz available to my monitors though. Usually, this is driven by the card and the dock, so I didn’t bother because I will have to redo my settings if the screens fail to adhere. But it does easily throwout 4K output, again, mainly a dock performance thing, however, with three screens up, I do not see any hiccups in performance either especially with apps up like photoshop, capcut, firefly, gemini, etc. Performance-wise, especially for AI, I am surprised by the 16GB RAM. I thought nowadays, content creation, especially when you use generative AI, requires 32GB to operate smoothly. I use my Adobe creative cloud suite, Various AI web tools like graphic ones and Gemini, and it does not hiccup. If there’s one thing, don’t use the HP-AI app though. It’s so far from all the other tools. I asked it to perform something basic, because it’s main use seems more focused on internal use like do auto updates or something, which you can easily toggle yourself in windows updates, the suggestions are still generic. I asked it to turn the keyboard lights on, which, also by the way, you can press with a simple F5, AI recognized what PC model I was using but it gave me a generic reply like, “In most PCs, it is the F5 or F4”—I mean, c’mon. “In most PCs…??” IT should be able to tell me something specific if it already knows the model, right? That’s such a mediocre attempt at AI. Given that though, it has nothing to do with the actual device so it does not affect my liking for this machine. I would just avoid it if I were you. Stick to the usual AI out there for real productivity. I didn’t try gaming on this, because it is not a gaming laptop with only an integrated GPU. For what I need it for, to drive my business, it has what it needs. I love the keyboard and the size of the pad. The keys are BIG, meaning fonts big. Good for my middle-aged eyes. Backlighting looks clean. And the pad is wide. Though I use my mouse most of the time. The sound from the speakers are decent. Nothing to rave about and is not that important to me since I use speakers and headphones. But it is clear enough maybe to watch movies with it on reverse flip? I don’t do this activity to my work laptops, but the screen is so nice though, it is so tempting to watch those dark movies that show real contrast. Connectivity is not a problem at all. Wifi is fast. It detects Bluetooth devices with a automatic prompt, which is nice. And battery life is pretty decent. 5 hours of work with maybe 4 hours of pause with the lid closed (3 hours on, 4 hours downtime, 2 hours on = 5 total active hours) and I am at 42% (definitely not docked). This is with some music on and continuous working. Oh, and since the power on this only requires a 65W charger, my dock can easily take this on t charge the battery back fast. After a couple of days, I can say this is one of those you will keep until it dies. I’ve had other HPs before (Spectre) which look great too but HP has improved so much through the years. This machine is so dynamic, it is the new daily driver!

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.

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.

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 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!

I was on a hunt for a personal laptop that is at par or, if not, at least close to the performance of my work HP laptop. I have always trusted HP laptops. Even though I had been given a choice to go with a different brand, I still choose HPs and have always upgraded to one. Even though I had used other brand laptops in the past, I still go back to HPs. This Omni Book Ultra HP came out with is overall, in my opinion, a great laptop especially for its price point. With its specs, features, and its looks, I honestly thought this cost a lot more. Having 1TB SSD as its hard drive, a memory of 16GB RAM, and an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, this laptop packs a punch. Not to mention, this is a 2-in-1 laptop with a 14” OLED display. I am actually elated that this comes with an OLED display. I continue to be amazed at the video quality of an OLED screen. The details are seen with such clarity, and the blacks are super dark. As far as the sound is concerned, the speakers aren’t powered by Bang & Olufsen, unlike HP’s other laptops in the past, but it’s still a nice set of laptop speakers. They could get nice and loud without distorting the sound. However, since they are laptop speakers, the sound quality isn’t the greatest. The bass is definitely lacking, and the highs and lows aren’t really well-balanced. Again, they are pretty good for laptop speakers. Regarding its features, the laptop is supported by HP’s AI. This is a super tool someone can take advantage of. From typing up emails to creating images, AI can cater to whatever your needs are. In trying this out, I typed an email, but I had AI make it sound formal and professional. It turned out to be as if the email was for corporate work. Then I had AI make it seem like it was written back in medieval tone. Then I had it sound like a kid wrote it. AI did a really great job making it seem like different people typed the email. I also tested it by creating images, and it’s scary how close AI created them to my liking. It may not have been 100% accurate, but it’s scary how well AI executes the user’s request. If I were to critique this laptop, I would go back to the sound. Then again, we are talking about laptop speakers so you really can’t expect much from them. I, myself, connect external speakers via Bluetooth, and they work very well. Maybe the material could make it look more high end, but that doesn’t really matter. It still looks really nice in my opinion. HP’s Omni Book Ultra Laptop, again, is a very good laptop especially for its price point. From its hardware to its software, along with its specs, I thought this cost more than advertised. I would definitely recommend to get this laptop if a friend is looking for one.

I have used this laptop for 5 days now and it delivers exceptional on most of my requirements. I was looking for a new Windows 11 laptop with copilot, 2k display or greater, with great sound that I could take with me when I travel. I use my laptop extensively when I travel for home office/personal finance, remote work office, and personal photo/video editing. I also watch movies and listen to music, while I travel. I needed to replace a 2 year old HP Dragonfly laptop, which I gave to my daughter. So that is my point of reference. The HP OmniBook Ultra Flip, with its 2-in-1 flip capabilities, have worked out perfectly for most of my needs. The 3k OLED screen is absolutely beautiful. It displays my photos and videos very well for my editing and when showing my work to others. Likewise, the flip option is wonderful. I can set this laptop up on a table in a pyramid to show photos, videos, or for a small presentation. The screen is bright, so everyone could easily see my screen. I also like that I can use it like a tablet in my hotel room or on a plane. The touch screen is very responsive and easy to use as well. Even after installing all my software (i.e., MS-Office, finance, photo/video editing, etc.), it still runs quickly and I didn't experience any over-heating problems. It did get a little hot at times, but not often or too bad that it caused a shut-down. It has an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, built-in Intel ARC graphics, 16GB LPDDR5x RAM, and 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD storage. The 9MP front camera is truly amazing and it works great for video conferencing, while the microphones worked adequately. The WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 performed equally amazing in my home network and a hotel during a recent trip. I especially like how quickly it recharges. However, you have to make sure you get the right AC power USB-C / Thunderbolt port (angled back right corner). However, on the downside, there are a few things which could have been better. First and foremost is the sound. This laptop has 4 "smallish" speakers on the bottom/side by Poly/Polycom, which HP purchased in 2022. My previous HP laptop had 2 larger speakers by Bang and Olufsen on the top beside the keyboard. I don't feel the sound quality of the speakers are as good on this laptop and I feel they should have been better at this price point. The battery life didn't seem to be very long, but I used it heavily, so I can accurately say if it is better or worse. Lastly, there was one odd thing which I can't quite figure out and resolve. When I started the laptop the first time, the mouse was large, almost to max size. I went into the settings for the mouse and dropped it down, where it stayed small for the rest of the day. But, when I restarted the laptop the next day, it was back to the larger size. I have to decrease the size each day when I start my laptop. I haven't experienced that with other laptops and I am still trying to figure this one out. Overall, this laptop performs very well and I feel it will work out perfectly for my needs. There are a few things (as mentioned above) which I would have expected to see on a laptop in 2024 at this price point. But most of all, over the last 5 days I didn't experience any problems and everything works well. Every device I connected to it (i.e., Headphones, Earphones, Mouse, USB drive and external SSD drives) connected and functioned with ease. I also expect this laptop by HP will continue to perform well as did my previous one did considering HP's reputation and commitment to service. I would certainly recommend this laptop to others and it would make a great gift.

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.

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.

The HP OmniBook Ultra Flip Copilot+ PC is simply one of the best laptops I’ve ever owned. I originally bought it for myself, but the moment my daughter saw it—she claimed it as her own! That says a lot. This machine isn’t just powerful and sleek—it has universal appeal. The 14" 3K OLED touchscreen is stunning, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD makes everything run buttery smooth. It’s lightweight, fast, and beautifully designed in Eclipse Grey. Whether you're working, creating, or just browsing, it feels premium and intuitive. Honestly, it’s a laptop for all ages—once you see it, you’ll love it.

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!

The HP OmniBook Ultra Flip is a major, major, major GO! I cannot speak for anyone else, but the keyboard and trackpad are utter magic; I would say it is a shorter travel distance, chicklet style keyboard that is Macbook Pro-like but better and quieter. The build quality seems to be the best I have ever held in my hands, super-premium feeling and lightweight. I like that there are two Thinderbolt 4, USB-C ports at each of the diamond-cut corners. The Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 256V processor is the fastest I have ever experienced by far; everything works quickly. Battery holds charge well and lasts a long time; not sure exactly how long just yet. The 500 nits of brightness is more than enough; I have poor eyesight compared to most and it's blinding if I max it out. I am bewildered why there is no auto-brightness adjustment, so I have to move it up and down manually. There is NO PEN and NO LEATHERETTE CASE as before, in case you're wondering (makes one think this is not the real successor to the Spectre X360, but it is). The 14" diagonal, 3K (2880 x 1800), OLED, multitouch-enabled is world-class, spectacular. the screen is glossy. The display has dynamic refresh rate up to 120 Hz. The sound is very good using DTX technology (vs Dolby); I suppose one can use Dolby access since it is not greyed out in Microsoft store. The notebook would benefit from not having all the Quad speakers pointing downwards. When I flip it, the laptop becomes a tablet in little time, but not quite as quickly as a Snapdragon might. It operates as smooth as silk from mode to mode. Overall, now that I think of it, this notebook is as smooth as silk! I hear folks taking about its price being high for a 16 gb HP laptop: rubbish. It is elegant and seamless. You won't be dissapointed!

It was perfect for what I was looking for. An excellent pc, I can carry on the go. Super sleek and light makes it great to bring it with you. I was skeptical about the 14 inch display as I regularly use a 15.6 but the quality of the display more than makes up for the smaller area. Keyboard feels great to write on, but will take a little getting used to regarding the bigger keys from my previous pavillion. Battery life could be better when dealing with long zoom calls, but that is demandimg on any device. Other than that, battery life has been pretty good. Will hold for about 6-8 hours of normal word, web and general usage. The screen and portability are great for carrying into meetings. I didnt find that much bloatware intrusion as other reviewers mentioned, other than uninstalling mc afee straight from the box. Other than that my only "complaint" is the lack of other ports. You only get 3 usb c ports. A usb a and hdmi would have been nice, but a simple dongle will take care of that so it's not really that big of a deal.

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.
