Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use this OmniBook X Flip 16" OLED for my mobile notary business, and it's been a great road laptop. It's light to carry to signings, and the flip touchscreen is perfect for walking clients through documents in tablet mode. The Core Ultra 7 is fast for large loan packages and my scheduling software, and battery easily lasts a full day of appointments. The OLED screen makes fine print clear. Only downside is the glossy screen can glare in direct sun at outdoor signings, but indoors it's gorgeous. Copilot+ is handy for quick email summaries between stops. Very happy with it.

I really like this laptop. I have never had a 16 inch laptop so there was a learning curve to getting used to the big screen but it's really nice for using the touch screen and reading textbooks on it. I do wish it had a finger print reader because I'm not keen to the facial recognition on it but the camera cover makes up for that - and it's not hard to type in my password. I do not really understand the setting where it dims the screen if you look away, I think that's kind of weird, but overall very nice laptop. Also the matte black is so sleek.

It does everything well and above expectations! I am so happy I purchased the 2026 HP-Omnibook X Flip 2 in 1. It has made grad school so much easier by only needing one device for all my needs. It is like having and I-Pad and Computer in one - but better.

Unboxing the unit was a tribute to Hp’s consideration of post-consumer waste in the realm of packaging.  The components of the unit were tightly nested cardboard compartments, interfaced with spatial and material economy as goal one.  All parts are biodegradable recyclables. A soft white fabric sleeve protects the unit’s finish during shipping and can be reused as an added layer of protection when travelling.  (See pics.) Amazingly, Hp R&D has reduced both of the old school power conversion blocks into micro components that fit into an adapter the size of your phone’s charger Moreover, the plug is now non-polarized to be convenientlyinserted into a wall outlet in either direction. That upgrade is an unexpected relief from the heavy and cumbersome charging gear that was always a packing hassle.  Bottomline, the weight and size reduction is a savings, especially important now that space conservation is critical to avoid extra fees levied by the airlines. Not sure why, two charging ports are put on the unit’s left side when competitors afford consumers the convenience of one USB-C on each side. Nonetheless, good to have two USB-C and two USB-A ports, the latter serving as transitional accommodation for legacy accessories. The device’s sleek and aesthetically pleasing design has integrated a rugged, durable build with a comfortably weighted portability.  There’s nothing I can see that's tacky or unrefined about the unit’s exterior architecture, open or closed.   The screen’s resolution affords dense color saturation and the 16” screen size is a good match for my needs. Lots of gain without eye strain. During this time when manufacturers are cutting corners on packaging and quality, Hp stepped up with an unexpected new level of understated elegance. Somehow the team stood their ground.  Market pressures were not allowed to shortchange shoppers in product development standards as has been the case in so many other categories. The handheld 'walk through' Set Up is user friendly but, users should allow for a big block of time and plan to multitask during execution of a lengthy download of updates. If rushed, choose another time or choose to “update later”. After some word processing time had passed, I noticed the keyboard response is a perfect fit for me, requiring no adjustment. As with all features, find a plethora of variables in Settings.   Having a backlit keyboard is also appreciated for working in low light settings. The numeric keypad is an easy reach and a convenience not afforded in my old unit. Found it odd that the num lock layout of the keyboard is not illustrated in the Set Up process. Thankfully, since I have Hp printers, the interface was without obstacle but I noticed extensive accommodations are listed for other manufacturers. Though I read the Microsoft and McAfee agreements before selecting ACCEPT, I would prefer that a means to download, print, or copy the agreements be made available to consumers. BTW, the option to Sign In with Facial Recognition can be enabled during the Set Up process. Use your previously established PIN, Pass CODE, or install a new one during Set Up. Due to time constraints and for easy recollection, I adjusted my ‘familiar’ algorithm to span all devices as an interim quickie with intention to up my security game post haste. A list of PRIVACY OPTIONS allows advance adjustment of presets regarding LOCATION, FIND MY DEVICE, DIAGNOSTIC DATA, INKING & TYPING, TAILORED EXPERIENCES involving PERSONALIZED Ads, and PRESENCE SENSING. The latter enables the PC to sense when you are ‘nearby or leaving’ to automatically wake the cpu or turn off when away. Interestingly, the statement that “Apps can request access to your presence to enable novel experiences”  was both intriguing and unnerving, especially with consumer concerns about the dangers of AI evolution putting the cart before the horse. Choose to adjust these options based on your personal data privacy parameters i.e. the level of trust you can comfortably extend to Microsoft and McAfee. Restoring BACK Ups from an old cpu is automatic and does not require additional Import/Export action steps. Really pleased with the expedited simplicity. At REGISTER & PROTECT, I was happy to find a link to the HP privacy practices and data rights: https://www.hp.com/us-en/privacy.html Nice to have the link to see how Hp collects and analyses data to innovate new products, features, and consumer support: https://hpsmart.com/data-notice. The Touch Screen is a handy option when I tent the screen for presentation mode, streaming, or while hands are tied up with another project. For my needs, as well, flexible tenting and graphics design Apps are useful AI driven upgrades to be explored for client sales, protocol graphs, website design, and illustrations. 365 Premium Upgrade to $199 per annum after trial period is offered during Set Up, affording access to exclusive AI optimizers via Copilot, access to Apps that I thought were standard such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote as well as AI-powered Designer image creator and editor. Already overextended and not yet ready for some features such as Gaming Apps since my world affords no ‘free’ time, I was not inclined to take advantage of immediate discounts. Decided to pay in the future as special needs are defined. I selected ‘business development’ as the main category to lend a focus to my cpu Set Up to support the following: tracking of client data, expenses, product sales, communications, etc   Per usual when transitioning to a new platform, a plethora of options requires more time to tailor tools to suit one’s real needs. After Updates completed installation, the cpu’s capability to save “snapshots” of all activity every few seconds is introduced but no immediate option to decline is afforded the consumer.    New owners must go into Settings to choose IF and WHEN and which APPS and WEBSITES to filter out.   It's imperative that consumers set calendar prompts to make privacy adjustments to suit personal tolerances for surveillance. With initial Set Up complete, I was especially pleased to find a duplication of my old files neatly installed on my new desktop without kerfuffle. Side bar is that the Webcam is equipped with a privacy slider to block unauthorized viewing of your activities by intruders.  Geez! If an intruder gets that far, security protocols must really be sleeping.  Battery life at 10 hours is as promised.   Thankfully and so far, the unit has not overheated, as the ole 'guy' would, leading to wonky performance and loss of cursor control, characteristic of a close competitor's demerit. In my estimation, this laptop is reasonably priced for lots of value coming from one in the non gaming zone.

Love the OLED since I have nightvision issues. Salesperson was fabulous explaining everything and comparing choices!! Great service. Geek Squad set everything up for me to get started and were very helpful teaching me

HP has outdone themselves with this laptop its an amazing device I’ve been enjoying it for several months now I’m really happy with this purchase..

I have been using the HP OmniBook X Flip for the last few days and now this is my go-to laptop. In general, my daily activities are around creating or updating MS Office documents, internet browsing, video streaming along with few games and this laptop does everything without any lag or delays. The first impressive feature is its 16" OLED touchscreen. The display looks sharp with good contrast, and the touch response is quick and feather touch. The other good thing about its design is its 2-in-1 modes. The laptop mode is great for working on the documents where as the tablet and tent mode have been really useful for watching videos, playing games, or video calls while relaxing on the couch. The Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and 16GB RAM make everyday multitasking easy and quick. I usually have multiple apps and lots of browser tabs open at the same time, and everything keeps running smoothly without slowing down. It also starts up quickly and most of the tasks are completed in no time, and opening or transferring files takes very little time thanks to the fast SSD. Although I am still catching up with the AI tools, but Copilot+ has been helpful for writing, summarizing notes during meetings, brainstorming or analyzing ideas, and speeding up small tasks. It is a very useful tool than just another feature added for marketing. Battery life has been reliable for my day to day tasks and last much longer than most laptops in the market. I have been able to get through most of my workday without searching for a charger. The USB C adapter is compact, easy to carry and takes much less space in the backpack as compared to bulky chargers. The webcam is impressive too as the 5MP camera generates a clear image during meetings, and the AI noise reduction keeps the background sounds in check. The Poly Studio speakers are also better than I expected. The speakers adjust automatically for video calls, music, and watching movies without needing the external speakers. Not to forget that some of the smaller features have made a difference too. Presence sensing feature is really handy as it automatically locks the screen as I walk away and wakes it up as I come back. Smart Sense quietly adjusts performance and fan speed depending on what I am doing, so the laptop stays comfortable to use without getting unnecessarily loud or hot. Connectivity has been stable as well. Having Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI 2.1, USB A, WiFi 7, and Bluetooth 6.0 which reduces the need of any extra adapters for my setup, which has been really convenient. After using it every day for the last week, I can say this laptop feels well balanced. It delivers good performance, a display that is enjoyable to use, dependable battery life, and practical AI features that actually fit into everyday work. It has handled everything I have acted on without giving me a reason to complain, and that is probably the biggest compliment I can give any laptop.

The HP OmniBook X Flip is a surprisingly powerful thin and light laptop that’s easy to carry yet capable enough to handle serious work. One of the first pleasant surprises is the inclusion of a full 18 key numeric keypad, which is something rarely found on laptops this slim. Despite the compact footprint, HP manages to fit it in without shrinking the main keyboard, and the typing experience is excellent. The keys offer firm, deliberate feedback that helps prevent accidental presses. The touchpad is generously sized without being intrusive, giving you room to rest your palms without triggering unwanted input. It’s a bit surprising that there’s no dedicated hot key to disable the touchpad, though software options are available to disable the touchpad when using an external mouse. The 16 inch OLED display is a standout feature. With its 2K resolution, sharp clarity, and accurate color reproduction, it is ideal for graphic design, photo editing, and desktop publishing. Brightness and clarity of the screen is a pleasure to use, and the overall visual quality makes creative work very enjoyable. Intel’s latest integrated graphics continue to impress. Tasks like video editing and light 3D modeling run smoothly, and the laptop handles indie and less demanding games without issue. Because it doesn’t rely on a large, dedicated GPU, the system stays cool, quiet, and efficient, which is perfect for long work and/or entertainment sessions. For designers and professionals who need speed, portability, and reliability but not a high end gaming laptop, this machine hits the sweet spot. It also doubles as an entertainment device thanks to its 360 degree hinge. Flip the screen around and it becomes a portable TV, complete with a responsive touchscreen that works well in every viewing mode. Charging is refreshingly simple. The laptop uses a 65W USB C charger, eliminating the need for bulky power bricks and making travel even easier to use one charger for your laptop, tablet, and cellphone. All in all, the HP OmniBook X Flip is an excellent choice for anyone who wants desktop level capability in a highly portable form. It’s fast, quiet, versatile, and built for both productivity and entertainment. If you don’t need a heavy duty dedicated graphics card for playing the top tier games, this AI enhanced laptop will handle everything you throw at it with ease.

The HP OmniBook X Flip comes right out of its recyclable packaging and is ready to go to work. The minimal packaging and sleek components make for a quick start into the initial Windows prompts, along with a quick HP registration process. The build quality feels excellent and sturdy in any screen configuration. The chassis, trackpad size and position, full keyboard, and glassy OLED display all stand out as soon as you open the lid. The deep blacks of the OLED panel stand out even further when you put its touch abilities to work. Fast touch response and a smooth out-of-the-box Windows experience make the few learning curves of ergonomic recalibration easy to work through. Key travel and keystroke confidence feel well balanced across the board, making for a very comfortable typing experience. Two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 connections provide flexibility for charging and additional inputs when needed, with one on either side of the laptop. It also includes an HDMI output on the user’s left-hand side and maintains a physical audio jack for those who prefer not to use Bluetooth headphones. Screen resolution comes in at 1920 × 1200. The lack of extra screen real estate is quickly made up for by the color depth and touch capabilities of the display. Pen input is also an option with compatible pens, and it worked without any prior pairing or calibration during my testing. I did find it hard to keep my wrist and forearm from interfering with my input, although I suspect that is more a consequence of my habitual writing position and this unit’s screen size than a flaw with the device itself. Normal everyday tasks are a breeze with this configuration. Even streaming Universe Sandbox over Wi-Fi using the 2x2 connection was a very clean experience. Anything I streamed through it felt almost as if I were sitting at the computer it was hosted from. Not only that, but it handled the task unplugged and barely registered as warm to the touch anywhere on the keyboard after running for a while. For a laptop that I know I will not be using for any real gaming directly, that test said a lot about its ability to handle a heavier streamed workload and stay responsive while doing it. Overall, this laptop offers a great wireless user experience, flexible physical configurations, and fast local processing power in a system that is ready to work alongside today’s AI tools at the touch of a button.

LIKE THE BUILD QUALITY, SCREEN GOOD, SPEED IS A LIL SLOW, BUT OK FOR SMALL GAMES, IM NOT A FAN OF FLIP TYPE, BUT FOR PRICE ITS GOOD, I MAINLY USE IT FOR RESEARCH, CAFE, ETC. REALLY LIKE THE BACKLIT KEYBOARD

Best Buy is the place to buy and learn about laptops our sales guy knew a lot about what I was wanting and delivered me the perfect laptop fit for me!!!! Love my ho omnibook

Ahead in most areas. Well Build, solid & fast. Good Side connection ports.

This laptop is very good at everything that you throw at it (except may be for very high performance tasks due to 16 GB RAM). The performance comes from the latest technologies that it comes with, namely Intel Core Ultra 7 that integrates the CPU with and advanced GPU, image processor and NPU. The overall design is very good. I like the keyboard specially the number pad on the right as I usually prefer to use it instead of the number keys on top of QWERTY row. The 16 inch 2K AMOLDED screen is awesome. The colors are vivid and the screen is pretty responsive when used in the touchscreen mode. There is no digital pen included but my old Dell stylus works without any issues. I like the flip feature but I mostly use it when watching videos (in the tent mode). When using it as a tablet, I find it a bit heavy. The other thing that I like about it is, the battery life. I was able to use it for one full day with usual browsing, MS Office use, some YouTube videos and light gaming. There was still 30% battery left. It runs very quiet and remains cool. The included 65W charger is able to charge it pretty quickly. Overall, it has a very good combination of latest technologies and functionalities to make it a very good choice for your day-to-day use.

Bottom line: unless your use case is HIGHLY specialized (need to process absurdly HUGE datasets or you work as a photographer, videographer, 3D artist), the HP OmniBook X Flip feels about as close to the “perfect” laptop as you can probably get at the moment. Just about 4 lbs on the nose, the OmniBook feels light enough to tote around without fatigue, but not so much that it feels fragile. In fact, the combination of metal & hard plastic gives the shell a very rigid & reassuringly solid feel–I had to press HARD to get any kind of flex on the keyboard deck, & the screen backing keeps bends & twists to an absolute minimum. Yeah, it will likely still dent or shatter if you drop it off a tabletop, but it doesn’t feel like you need to baby it during normal use. The physical design is fairly nondescript save for the glossy “HP” logo on the lid. The bottom only has 4 retention screws rather than 8 or 12 or 6 with a few hidden under a rubber pad, etc. That said, there isn't a lot of reason to go spelunking into the guts anyway; the RAM & WiFi card are soldered to the motherboard so there’s no upgrade path or swapping components down the road. Of course, the onboard WiFi card is already WiFi 7 capable–in my home mesh network, the OmniBook was getting just a few Mbps shy of my 1Gbps fiber network speed. The only user-serviceable parts underneath the hood are the battery & the 2280 (standard length) SSD. So, while you can’t add more RAM down the road, you can easily upgrade the SSD for more storage. There are also two cooling fans on the bottom with a grille that runs all the way across the width of the bottom shell–this helps dissipate heat even if you have to place the laptop on a surface where one of the fans might be directly covered. I have yet to push the OmniBook hard enough to hear the fans whirring in the background, and unlike some other laptops I’ve used recently, the bottom did NOT get hot enough to be noticeable when I used it in bed balanced on my legs. There are plenty of I/O ports available on each side of the enclosure. On the left you have the 3.5mm combo audio/mic jack, an HDMI 2.1 port, a 10Gbps USB-A port & a Thunderbolt 4 port that supports both power delivery & DP video output. On the right side sits another 10Gbps USB-A port & another Thunderbolt 4 port. And I must give HP credit for doing something I wish more manufacturers would do –each set of I/O ports is set BACK at the rear corners of the enclosure near the screen hinges. This allows you to leave dongles, drives, or cables plugged in without fear of them getting in the way of mousing or other cables, hubs, or nearby peripherals. There is no additional power port, either; the laptop is charged entirely through the USB-C connectors on the Thunderbolt ports. The wall charger, by the way, is the smallest I’ve seen an OEM provide with a commercial laptop to date–just a tiny 65W GaN charger (think small Anker nano-charger) that blessedly won’t eat up an entire pocket in an overnight or carry-on bag. The keyboard is large enough to squeeze a nearly full-size numpad over on the right-hand side of the enclosure. The number keys are only SLIGHTLY thinner than the full-size QWERTY keys on the rest of the keyboard, so if you need to do a lot of number-crunching, it shouldn’t feel awkward using the numpad at all. Only the very top row of function keys & the up/down arrows are half-height, so the workspace doesn’t feel cramped during heavy use. Keycap lettering is big, clear & ultra-easy to read. When not backlit, the white on black lettering is still contrasty enough to easily use in dimmer environments. The trackpad is mounted off-center; though this was undoubtedly to accommodate the placement of the lesser-used numpad, as a right-handed person, I found this setup actually helped me avoid accidental mishits of the trackpad with the heel of my palm–not entirely, but enough that I noticed the drop in typing errors. The pad itself is smooth & requires a deliberate “click” to activate the left & right mouse select functions, also nice for reducing the amount of unintentional menu pop-ups & activation clicks. Like other near-zero bezel-designs, there is a small 5MP pinhole-style webcam at the top of the screen’s frame with IR capabilities for Windows Hello sign-in. A bright white LED illuminates when the camera is in use & a small sliding privacy shutter physically blocks the lens when you want to avoid prying eyes. The image quality is decent. Like other 5MP mini-cams I’ve seen on other laptops, the picture can appear a bit grainy, even if you bump the resolution up to 1440p/30fps (video) or 2880x1800 (image). But the colors at least didn’t appear washed out which means you can easily join a Teams meeting & not feel ashamed for how your image appears on everyone else’s screen. That brings me to the star attraction of this particular laptop: the screen. The 2K OLED screen is, in a word, gorgeous. I had forgotten what it was like to watch a video or play a game with an absolutely black background. Video streams & static images were simply beautiful. Typical of OLED displays, you won’t be blinded with spotlight-like brightness levels, but the brilliant colors & absolute zero-backlight-bleed or blooming make the viewing experience all the better. The screen IS glossy to help give the picture a little extra pop, so do be aware that there will be some reflections if you use the OmniBook in very brightly lit rooms. I tried loading a few games to see if the integrated graphics chip was actually capable of–well, anything–and if so, what would this screen do for the graphics. Of course, first I had to find a game that would run. I loaded up a recent AAA title (Dying Light - The Beast) & the first entry in that series, Dying Light, an 11 year-old game. The Beast ran like a slideshow even at ultra-low settings, maybe somewhere in the low teens. But Dying Light ran at nearly 60 fps at high settings; the deep blacks & rich colors made for really eye-popping graphics. I wouldn’t consider the OmniBook something for regular/hardcore gaming, but with older titles or casual games, the OLED screen is going to help make them look their absolute best! The screen also earns bonus points because the entire laptop is a 2-in-1 with full 360-degree screen hinges. Use it laptop mode, tablet mode, or watch a video or slide presentation with the lid folded over like a tent; the OmniBook has you covered no matter how you want to use it. Under the hood lies an Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU—as thin & light laptops go, that’s just about the cream of the crop right now & it keeps multiple browser tabs & applications running quick & super-snappy. There is also an additional onboard neural processing unit (NPU) that can run 50 TOPS (trillion operations per second) for some dedicated AI functions. No, you can’t get anything as responsive as a local ChatGPT or Gemini, but with 50 TOPS at your disposal, Copilot prompt processing will be faster, various graphic effects & transformations within programs & apps could require less CPU overhead & smaller local language models will run just fine without forcing your CPU to do all the heavy lifting (and spin up those fans in the process to keep the temperatures down). I also need to praise HP for finally delivering an OLED unit that doesn’t suck down the battery like a dying man drinking at a desert oasis. I have a smaller 13” 2-in-1 that also has a beautiful 4K OLED screen. I recently replaced the battery in that unit, but even at 100% charge, I’m lucky to get 4 hours or so of consistent, non-stop use. I used the HP OmniBook at home & at work for 2 weeks & was EASILY pulling in between 9-13 hours of usable battery life before I started searching for a wall-charger. If you are needing something you can count on for a full day at school or a typical workday, my experience suggests that the OmniBook should be able to keep up with you without tethering you to a wall jack or hub. If there’s any nit I would choose to pick–and this is REALLY a minor observation–it’s that HP tends to load up on bloatware & utilities, the value of which will all depend on how comfortable you are operating PCs in general. I counted at least 12 preinstalled HP applications. A few do serve some worthwhile functions. For example, “Presence Sensing” in the “HP” app adjusts when the laptop will dynamically adjust screen dimming, wake actions, & other behind-the-scenes functions to make the laptop quicker to run or more secure to leave depending on whether you are close by or not. “System Control” will balance fan speed, battery strength, running applications, CPU load/voltage/clock, etc., to match your desired operating state (battery maximizer, ultra quiet, balanced performance, etc.). But then there are some, like HP TV+, a Roku-style hub for streaming content, or the OMEN Gaming Hub, that I imagine most people would probably not open more than once or twice at all. BUT, they are all at least easy to uninstall & don’t hide out in darkened corners of the OS eating up CPU overhead without letting you know it. And if all this is the worst I can say about the OmniBook X, I think that says a lot about what you can expect when you finally get your hands on one. It’s a shame that the current RAM shortage/crisis is driving up PC prices in general; but based on what your dollar can get you right now, the OmniBook X Flip offers you a lot for comfort, portability, flexibility & raw performance. It would be nice to have even a single open memory slot to add more RAM down the road; but for most users, the 16GB of installed memory should be more than enough for school, home office & regular online computing for the next several years. Throw in a gorgeous OLED display, 2-in-1 design, stellar battery life & it’s hard to think of what more you might legitimately need. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED if you're in the market right now.

The only problem I have it it will track ur whole hand instead of just ur finger/stylus

Its handy and serves good. It should have a pen with it and the flip works well too.

Opening up the Omnibook x Flip was a premium feel experience. The box it came in was small and it was nestled nicely inside the box and tucked away safely in a soft white cloth pocket. I linked my windows account to the laptop and within 20-30 minutes it was all setup and ready to roll....and all my files from my main laptop appeared on the new HP. The build quality is extremely solid and it feels very well made as most HP products do. Due to the metal (aluminum I guess) it's made of, there's no squishyness or wobbling on the screen while using it like cheap devices. When it's a laptop, it feels like a laptop, when it's a tablet it feels like a big solid tablet, tent is a tent etc. Despite that fact, its just slightly thicker than half an inch and only weighs 4.1 lbs. It has an hdmi 2.1 port, 2 usb C charging ports or data, a USB A port and a Headphone Mic jack. This device has something I've never seen before. HP has replaced the half a brick sized charging block with a charging block that plugs directly into your plug. It fits in the palm of your hand and weighs very little. No more dragging around a brick with you wherever you go. This one would fit in your pocket. The OLED display on this device looks downright amazing, the colors are crisp and bright and the blacks are as black as the color of the laptop. Think, the nicest OLED TV when you walk in the store that you can see from all angles. That's this, so nice. The keyboard is backlit and offers a slight click feeling when pressing the keys in, very satisfying but not loud or obnoxious. You can sign in to the device several ways including a facial recognition scan that unlocks the device extremely fast. The sound is good, not great but sounds very contained around the device but in a good professional way. I can make out some low bass notes but it's a half inch laptop so I'm not expecting the world. After using it for some time, the battery is above what my expectations were. It lasts pretty much all day of use off and on and a half hour charge will get you back to almost half (45%) battery. The Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor really shines on this device. It loads graphics and performance quickly and without delay from what i've experienced. When streaming on this device you get smooth performance with no delay or glitchy performance. HP says it uses AI to enhance performance, no way for me to verify but it does feel that way. Not to mention the Copilot Ai installed and implemented in the laptop is fast and works quite well. There are so many additional features bundled up in this device but the ones I listed I've found the most useful and cool. This device is downright the bees knees and it continuously wow's me with the quality of the screen officially retiring my other 2 in1 for this one. If you're looking for a new 2 in 1, go check this one out. This is the one you want!

The HP Omnibook X Flip is a beautiful, sleek looking laptop with a nice, matte, quality-feeling finish. Just using it makes me feel like I am a professional. It feels premium, and its weight backs it up. The specs are ideal for some design work, multimedia, and productivity. For gaming, it would be considered entry. I like that it has ample storage space and enough RAM to easily multitask. The keyboard has a very satisfying soft click that feels more like an actual keyboard than the traditional flat laptop keyboards. The gap between the keys tells me HP really thought about "fat fingering" multiple keys. I love the small form factor of the charging block. Finally, I can pack a laptop without an obnoxiously large charging adapter. I hope this is the way of the future but kudos to HP for including this with themultitasking. It has a very responsive and accurate touchscreen. The OLED produces beautiful colors and the 2K quality looks really sharp in person. The laptop allows for multiple stand positions. It has a magnetic side for a stylus but the stylus is not included. The audio is decent, but not its strong suite. The touchpad is also smooth and accurate, requiring light touch. I really like this Omnibook and I will be using it mostly for productivity and some design work.

This brand-new HP Omni Book X Flip 2-in-1 CoPilot+ laptop is a superb combination of technology and functionality which will outperform almost all existing laptops thanks to its incorporation of a new Intel Core Ultra 7 processing unit which integrates the CPU with an advanced GPU, an image processor and an NPU. The display is an outstanding 2K AMOLED touch screen in an elegant, very compact but sturdy casing. HP (Hewlett-Packard) is one of the world’s largest consumer electronic firms. It was founded in 1939 in a one car Palo Alto, California garage which produced test and measurement equipment. In 1968 it created its first desktop computer, then launched handheld electronic calculators in 1972 followed by Inkjet and laser printers in 1984. Personal computers were introduced in 1995 and Compaq was acquired in 2001 It spun off the test equipment business in 1999 and led the market in PCs from 2007 through 2013. In 2015 the company split into Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc. Today HP Inc. is a leading manufacturer of personal computers and printers with sales of over $57 billion. The HP Omni Book Fip X 2-in-1 with CoPilot is one of their newest entries for high-end computing use. Visually, the HP Omni Book X Flip is an elegant design with the slick new HP logo and an ultra-slim beautiful slate black body. The high contrast white-on-black keyboard has white backlighting which is activated automatically. The superb 16 inch 2K AMOLED screen seems larger because it is jet black when off and incorporates a frameless thin black edge. Overall, the impression is very sophisticated and high tech. This design would be just as much at home in a corporate boardroom as in a college dorm. Consider this fine combination of features: • HP Omnibook 7 Flip 2-in-1 (Model 16-cb0023dx/D31MKUA#ABA) • Intel Core Ultra 7 355 CPU 4 performance cores/4 low-power cores, up to 8 hyper-threads, 25 watt base power with 55 watt turbo power mode, speeds 1.7 GHz to 4.7 GHz, 12 MB L3 cache • Integrated Intel 2.5 GHz 4 Xe Core GPU uses shared system memory • Intel Image Processing Unit version 7.5, 16MP max resolution • Integrated 5th generation NPU 49 TOPS Peak • 16 GB LP-DDR5X high efficiency 7467 MHz RAM primary memory • 1.0 TB Samsung PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD fast hard drive • 16” IPS UWVA OLED-backlit touch-screen display with 1920 x 1200 (2K) resolution @ 30-120Hz and 400 nits brightness capability, Gorilla Glass panel, supports Vision Booster software • 64 bit Windows 11 Home operating system with CoPilot+ AI • 2 Poly Studio 4 watt stereo speakers support DTS:X Ultra, Audio Boost 2.0 processing • 5MP IR wide-angle Webcam with auto-framing and dual microphones • WiFi 7 Wireless LAN (802.11be) provides max 46 GBps connection speed • Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity • 2 USB-C 4.0 (up to 40 GBps) for charging and data, 2 USB-A 3.2 (up to 10 GBps) • HDMI 2.1 port • Headphone out/Microphone in 3.5 mm port • Ultra-quiet dual cooling fans • 4-cell 70 Watt-Hour Lithium Ion battery provides up to 39 hours use • Compact 65 watt USB Type C charger restores 45% of power in 30 minutes • Full size back-lit keyboard with separate numeric keypad • Multi-touch touchpad • Fingerprint-resistant aluminum casing is certified for military-grade durability • Very slim and compact: 14.0” wide x 9.7” deep x 0.6” thick • Weight: 4.1 pounds • One year warranty on parts and labor Those features culminate in a truly powerful, capable device at a very attractive price. It is almost as fast as dedicated gaming laptops but has the portability and features which will make it the go-to choice for business travelers. It is beautifully engineered. The solid-state hard drive and low power needs of the CPU/GPU/NPU make fan noise almost non-existent. This is a very quiet device! It seemed pretty fast, so I ran a well-regarded benchmark program (Novabench 5) on both it and four of my other computers to determine their relative performance. This test measures both CPU (general processing), GPU (graphics processing) and data storage rate so they give a good overall measure of a computer’s speed. The four computers included two desktop all-in-one PCs (an older medium powered model with a HDD and a newer model with more RAM, SSD and a more powerful CPU/GPU combination), an older Samsung 2-in-1 laptop and a Surface 4 laptop. All computers were well-maintained, running the latest Windows versions with no other programs active. Here are the results (higher is faster): Novabench 5 Results: 2016 All-in-One Desktop (Intel i5-6400, Intel 530 GPU, 12GB ram, 1TB HD): 615 (base) 2022 All-in-One Desktop (Intel i7-1255, 16GB ram, Nvidia MX550 GPU, 1TB SSD): 1242 (+102%) 2022 2-in-1 Laptop (Intel i7-1260, 16GB ram, Intel Iris Xe GPU, 1TB SSD): 1809 (+193%) 2021 Laptop (AMD Ryzen 7 4980U, 8GB ram, Radeon GPU, 0.5TB SSD): 1851 (+201%) 2026 HP OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1 Laptop (Intel Core Ultra 7 355, 16 GB ram, Intel GPU/IPU/NPU. 1TB SSD): 2094 (+240%) The 16% speed advantage by this HP laptop over the 2022 2-in-1 laptop clearly shows the massive improvement in the new Intel CPU/GPU/NPU, despite its energy-conserving design. You will find this HP OmniBook capable of out-performing nearly anything you currently own (unless you have a really geeked-out special system). I loaded some graphics-intensive games and it was very smooth and responsive on all. Put this elegant notebook to work on most business software and it will never even break a sweat. Use it for photo or video editing and it will calmly do whatever you want, no drama. HP has done a superb integration of AI in this laptop’s functions. The NPU (Neural Processing Unit) has a 49 trillion operations per second (TOPS) rating. Copilot requires 40 TOPS so this laptop easily handles the demands of that AI in all tasks. If you haven’t used Microsoft’s Copilot with a fast NPU it really makes a huge difference. The audio response is instantaneous and the wide selection of voices is nice. The screen on this laptop is incredible. It uses UWVA (ultrawide viewing angle) OLED technology, so it is very responsive and the colors are very vivid with blacks that are truly black. OLED also provides the highest contrast ratio (1 million to 1) of any screen type and supports HDR video. The anti-reflective screen also adjusts its refresh rate automatically from 30 Hz up to 120 HZ (depending upon content) to conserve battery life and is protected by Gorilla Glass. The quality of the display alone justifies the price of this laptop! And since you can turn it into a large tablet by rotating the touchscreen all the way around, it is ideal for reading online magazines and newspapers. In the tablet mode keyboard is disabled and the Windows Ink Workspace feature really shines. HP does not include an electronic pen but any brand will work with it. I can see the tablet feature being a big part of the daily use of this Galaxy Book2. If you do presentations or just want to watch a video, setting up the laptop in “tent” mode is very handy. The twin 4 watt Poly Studio speaker system on this notebook is surprisingly good. I listened to some of my favorite albums from Spotify and the speakers were much better than typical for laptops. They are mounted at the top of the keyboard, have decent volume and good stereo separation – certainly good enough for watching Netflix or YouTube videos. It also provides intelligent noise cancellation during Zoom calls. A major plus for this HP OmniBook X is the outstanding battery life. I always test laptops by streaming a Netflix series on battery power with a bright screen and high speaker volume. The combination of WiFi modem usage, video rendering, screen lighting and speaker volume usually drains most laptop batteries in less than three hours. But this OmniBook X lasted an incredible 23.6 hours before exhausting the charge! That is long enough for twelve full movies or a several seasons of a TV series and certainly would suffice a traveler for even the longest international flights. You can thank the ultra-efficient power-miser Intel Ultra 7 355 CPU CPU/GPU/NPU and the new screen technology for that amazing performance. Recharge time was just 30 minutes to restore 45% capacity. Another advantage for travelers is the compact size (just 14.0” wide, 9.7” deep and only 0.6” thick) and very light weight – about 4.1 pounds. The USB-C power cube is tiny (about 2.5” x 1.2” x 1.2”) so it won’t take up any precious space or weight in your briefcase/backpack, plus it can be used to charge your other USB-C powered accessories. The notebook is nicely balanced with a great lighted keyboard and a big haptic-touchpad. It also runs very cool with dual silent fans, so those who like to literally use their laptop on their lap will be pleased. Other bonus features: the 1080P wide-angle webcam has auto-framing and studio effects and a sliding privacy shutter, WiFi 7 connectivity, military-spec durable aluminum case, ability to run multiple monitors simultaneously, adjustable keyboard backlighting level, a nice suite of bundled utility apps and very little bloatware! When you consider all of its power and functionality you will agree that the price is a bargain. I can enthusiastically recommend the new HP OmniBook X Flip Copilot+ for both serious stay-at-home power users and for those who need a perfect travel companion.

My purchase of this 2-in-1 HP brings back fond memories of a past HP desktop replacement laptop. The previous unit was a solid performer with a seemingly indestructible aluminum case. This new HP OmniBook X also has an aluminum case. The overall quality is even better now with the awesome 2k screen. No more eye strain after hours of use. The keyboard provides a nice finger feel. Lighted keyboard has no 'light bleed' around the keys. The touchscreen is nice to use, even though I mostly mouse. The number pad is a must-have for me. I could use an extra USB port, but lacking an extra port was not a deterrent to making the purchase. The unit is quiet. Go ahead and buy one!
