Solid computer overall. Love the touch screen and how big the memory is

I have had my laptop for a week. So far so good! I love the feature, where when I move away from it turns off.

Fast, clear and bright. I can use it as a tablet. I love it!

I love this computer it has everything I need!! Top notch!!

Overall great product and very easy to setup and use.

Build quality is great, screen etc just like the previous hp spectres. the only problem is the ipgu on this performs very poorly. ive tried everything but the numbers are comparable to or below 8000u ryzen series igpu performance. my guess would be hp power limits the cpu to keep temps down but the temps while gaming are barely 70. really a bummer on this

This computer is great. Touch screen and very easy to use.

I miss having a separate numerical keyboard other than the F keys.

I borrow this laptop from bestbuy and i love using it…

Had an issue with brand new laptop when first turn on the computer. The sytem is kind of funky, and swith to HP spectre it does not have this kind issue.

A couple months ago, I was on the market for a home laptop. My requirements, something decently powerful that I could use for compile heavy tech projects or to run ECAD software locally. It would need an okay GPU, not top of the line but able to handle ECAD and occasional gaming sessions. I wanted it to be light, ideally close to 2lbs with at least 12 hours of battery life with the screen at 60-70% brightness. Also, something that’s USB-C powered so that I can just plug in to any charger at home, versus needing to track a proprietary one. I was leaning a bit towards a chromebook but once I added the need to compile locally versus doing the work over remote desktop to my desktop computer, that eliminated those. Also, I pretty much could not find Chomebooks under 3lbs much less with decent battery life. I’ve been on Windows for most of my life and at times, that was the only platform that could run software I was using or could connect to hardware. But now, even the latest Windows machines can’t easily recognize some of my really old devices so that’s no longer a strong concern. In the end, not really finding much in terms of Windows options that could give me most of that and the battery life I wanted, I went with Apple’s offering. So imagine my surprise to have the opportunity to review the HP Omnibook Ultra Flip. A windows 11 machine which aside from the weight (around 3lbs but my Apple laptop similarly is over at 2.7lbs) pretty much hits everything I was looking for while packing in a few extra features. It’s amazing because finished in Eclipse Gray, it’s almost a match for the Apple laptop. The only giveaway is the more angular corners, difference in logos, and the Omnibook Ultra flip being slightly larger. So what do you get? This HP Omnibook Ultra is a 14” laptop with touchscreen and 360 degree hinge. USB-C powered, you get an aluminum chassis finished in a nice grey color that gives it even more of a premium look. While theoretically, the surface should be a fingerprint magnet, in practice, I’ve found that it doesn’t seem to pick them up that much and so I rarely notice. The keyboard matches the chassis coloring, though a bit darker so no jarring disconnect here. At 3lbs, you’re likely going to use this as a traditional laptop, or in tent mode versus completely folding to 360 and using it as a touchscreen. Still, I’d have appreciated getting a stylus. I’ve been a One Note user since the touchscreen Thinkpad convertible days when you’d be hard pressed to find a laptop under 4lbs. Like a lot of similar laptops and the one sitting next to it on my desk, you get practically no ports. Just the 3.5mm audio/mic port, and three USB-C (though two of them support thunderbolt). So unlike laptops from a certain fruit manufacturer, you can drive more external displays. With the Intel Core Ultra 7, you get local AI capability built-in which accelerates some workflows or queries. I’m just starting to use that with Visual Studio code and other tools that I use regularly so I can’t really comment on the real benefits of having that built in, but it’s good to be future proofed in this manner. If you thought laptops couldn’t get any less sharp, this one has more rounded edges including the rear side of the laptop where the corners are at a 45 degree angle and sport 2 of the three USB-C ports. This looks very cool. . .until you need to plug something in then it looks weird. For work, I have a mini security key that’s always plugged in so I think a compact USB-C device like that would be fine here as it will minimally add protrusion to the laptop. But anything with a cord will seem strange and ergonomically doesn’t quite work as we’ve optimized desk and cable routing over the years so that they hit laptops from the back or side and increasingly not even the back. Coming out at a corner actually requires me to reserve a bit more desk space and I think would be even more weird if I have something plugged in there with the laptop on my lap. Generally when charging, I just plug in to the port on the side of the Omnibook. Internally, this is sporting a Intel Core Ultra 7 SoC with Intel ARC graphics. By comparison to one of my recent Core i9 work laptops, there’s definitely a performance hit here. Don’t get me wrong, this is still pretty good and more than adequate for my use. I’d say this hits the mark for business users and casual developers, though not at the level for a dedicated engineering workstation. To be fair, I’ve found that the 15” and smaller laptop chassis just don’t really have the thermal headroom or capacity for intense engineering work, so perhaps that’s too much to expect from a 3lb, 14” laptop. Similarly, the graphics are good enough for my everyday laptop needs. It definitely struggles rendering Cyberpunk at anything above medium but does a good enough job for just a casual hour or two on a lazy Saturday afternoon. What really brings it all together for me was that I get all this plus a solid 12 hours of battery life. If I drop the brightness, I’ve been able to extend it to just beyond 15. My fruity laptop is able to eke out 15-18 hours under the same conditions but 12 hours is pretty much all I need for true all day use. For me, it’s important that I could grab the laptop disconnecting from a charger in the morning, use it all day in various places in the house, with no worries about having to plug in. Or that I could get 2-3 days of occasional use without needing to plug in. With the Omnibook, I probably would need to drop the brightness to survive the 3rd day but there are pros. The 360 degree hinge means you can share or collaborate a lot more easily with the Omnibook. Speaking of the screen, the touchscreen works pretty well and is decently responsive. It’s nice to have something where when my natural inclination is to tap something on the screen, I can. There are many cases where that just feels more intuitive and is faster than navigating with the trackpad. The OLED is gorgeous and at 2.8K is likely why battery life is limited at around 15 hours. My typing test WPM varied between 90 and 95 WPM which is where I max out on what I consider to be the best keyboards. And this is a mobile keyboard with smaller travel. But the spacing and responsiveness feel natural and not constrained and unlike my other laptop, all my special keys are in the right place and behave exactly the way one expects. Trackpad response was good. Nothing special, but also nothing to complain about. And honestly, I don’t really have any complaints. The sound quality from the speakers was mediocre. But I expected that. I’ve not experienced a single laptop, chromebook, or device of this thickness that had speaker quality worth writing about. So yes, not great, but probably 70% percentile for laptops in this size and weight range. The webcam is mixed. I think the video resolution was pretty good and it auto adapts to different lighting well, but colors felt either oversaturated or washed out if the ambient lighting wasn’t helping. But honestly, it’s easy to come up with a list of ways where this laptop could be better (lighter, more performance, a bit more battery life, an HDMI port or better arrangement of USB-C ports), but by comparison to what’s out there, a solid 4. What restrains me from the full five stars is that I have sitting literally next to the Omnibook an example that shows better performance and battery life is possible in this form factor.

Audio did not work, reinstalling driver and finaly factory reset did not help

It’s fast and has a great graphics. Today it stopped working for no reason. Not recommended

What the heck is this AI stuff? Actually this old man can only describe it as a supercharged search engine but more. You can get it to search for information and it will provide a summary of the result. I've seen more and more computer vendor help sites leveraging AI to assist customers troubleshooting their component or system. It's the wave of the future and hopefully it will make our jobs and life easier. With the AI wave upon us HP has come out with a Windows Copilot powered 2 in 1 laptop. The specs are awesome for a daily driver for school or work. It's 14" touch screen and ultra thin size, along with weighing in at under 3 pounds, it is the perfect to toss into a backpack. The Intel Core Ultra 7 with 16 GB of memory gives this 2 in 1 plenty of horsepower to run your business apps with ease. The 1TB SSD give the laptop plenty of headroom to have those apps along with any files (and why not some media files, although streaming seems to be the preferred method for that content). 3K OLED display powered by Intel Arc graphics has a respectable resolution of 2880 x 1800. The display sports Gorilla Glass making it resistant to scratching and mild abuse. I wouldn't recommend to use for gaming. Games eat up storage pretty quickly unless you stream or use cloud based. I loaded up one of my favorite AAA games, Days Gone, and even on low graphics settings I got a lot of stutter and dipping frame rates. It might be better for something like PUGB or other less graphics intensive games. I especially like 2 in 1 tablets for a few reasons. Standard laptop orientation is amazing for day to day use but if you need to go keyboard-less you can flip int quickly into tablet form and with the touch screen it's more than capable. I use the 2 in 1 for another reason. If you flip it but not all the way flat, making like a tent, I use as a portable table top display for trade show slideshows or if I'm doing training with a small group I don't need a projector. I can just flip to a tent (inverted V) and I do my tabletop demo or power slides. It's a real effective method and something I use often. For the size the speakers are surprisingly good. Plenty of volume, no rattling, good sound quality. Thumbs up!!! The I/O is decent although you may need to invest in a external I/O hub to gain some features. With two Thunderbolt ports you can plug in a USB-C input monitor, use the other to charge or plug in a fast external drive. For me the angled ports off the back corners is a bid odd but makes sense as it's not quite side and it's not quite back, more out of the way I suppose. The Omnibook Ultra also comes with one USB-C port on the right side and a headphone jack of all things on the left side. I only say that because I assumed most devices were strictly going Bluetooth. I'm not complaining mind you. All I/O is welcome. However, due to the thin profile it is lacking a USB-A port, ethernet jack and no SD card slot (micro or otherwise). Although the WiFi 7 adapter is fast enough if you have a comparable WiFi router. Now to address the lacking I/O. I found it necessary to acquire a USB-C/Thunderbolt hub that not only gives me the capability of plugging in a HDMI monitor or projector, I gained two USB-A ports and a SD card slot. Most can be purchased for under $50 and it's proven to be a necessity for my travels. I can now use my USB-A thumb drives, external hard drive and SD cards. It's a great lightweight and nimble laptop/tablet for everyday use but don't expect to do any serious gaming with it.

The screen has too much glare. There are no USB A ports on it, neither hdmi.

Sent wrong configuration with ghz, it should be of 4. Something but sent 1. Something...totally fraud. When you take used one please check configuration with what you ordered and what you got.

Horrible service especially price matched experience

Got the laptop in open-box condition from Gessner drive branch in Houston, took it out of the store and checked it, only to find that it had a totally different laptop inside the box (specter). Brought it back to the same branch of best buy and the employees and general manager were exceptionally rude to me and refused to admit their fault and return. Would give 0 stars if possible.

I have owned a lot of laptops but this one is definitely unique. With the direction technology is heading and how often it changes, this powerhouse of a laptop seems ready for the future. The design is very sleek and pretty simple. It resembles a lot of similarities to other slim type laptops. The ability for it to go from laptop to tablet is pretty impressive. While there are other brands that offer thje same feature, this Omnibook does it so well and the transition is done well. The screen is one of my favorite parts of this thing. The detail, color and depth of anything that is displayed on it is just amazing. The fact that is a 3k display contributes to how awesome it is. Once everything was setup through Windows 11, I installed a couple games and some video editing software. I started with the editing software. It pretty much loaded instantly, no noticeable delay whatsoever. That's impressive, considering my PC, with very good specifications, takes a few seconds to really load it. I edited three different videos and it handled them all very well with no issues. This Omnibook made quick work of my editing tasks. That's impressive to me. Once finished, I watched the edited videos and I was just blown away with how well they looked and played. There was no stutter, no lag or anything, just smooth audio and video playback. That makes me happy. Next, I fired up a game. This particular game is a simple to play shooter. It loaded up just fine and I was able to start play within a few seconds of pressing start game. The gameplay, however, leaves a bit to be desired. I didn't get very good frames per second and the resolution dropped here and there, even on low to medium settings. While it was still playable, I didn't feel it was enjoyable. This is my only issue with this thing. It is super fast, has ample storage, plenty of RAM, great battery life, a beautiful display and an excellent design. Overall, I am very happy with the Omnibook and this will be my go to for editing many many videos and photos from here on out.

Hard to review this item when they gave me the wrong item at check out and had to return it.
