The Omniboox X Flip 2 in 1 14inch by HP is the best mid range laptop that you can buy! It has a great processor of AMD Ryzen Ai 5 and graphics card run by AMD Ryzen Radeon. This laptop is great for work, school and editing. And the exciting part is, the laptop has intergrated Co-poilt that comes in handy! The battery life of this laptop is pretty top tier for me. It can last about 10hrs of usage because I use it alot for web browsing and editing music! But if you are just using it for a just web browsing and doing office work or school work, this laptop can last all day! The display is amazing because it has a touch screen and pen supported! So you can diffenitely use it how ever you like to this laptop! The colors of this laptop is pretty amazing too I watched netflix and youtube videos to test the color of this laptop and for me it's pleasing to the eye! but I suggest the oled verion if you want to have a colorful display! Also since I mentioned that this is a 2 in 1 laptop, you can use it like a tablet because the screen flips 360 degree! Everything about Omnibook X flip is best! I suggest this laptop if you are looking a mid range and bang for a buck!

Affordable 2-in-1 laptop w/12-hr battery life

Executive summary:
I have been looking for a 2-in-1 laptop with a long battery life, and this laptop fits the bill. It's rather light (3.1 lbs), has a large enough screen (14"), and can flip transform between the laptop and tablet modes. I wanted the laptop mode to type conveniently. I also wanted a tablet mode, so I could write on the screen with a stylus.
CPU:
The CPU is snappy, and I have not noticed significant lags or stutter. However, the Windows 11 system is heavy, so even with this CPU you'll find yourself waiting for the apps to start. Funny enough, when I do the same things on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, I don't see as much lag, because Android is lighter on the system.
Keyboard:
Keyboard has a nice backlight and has an unusual design that does not leave any space between the keys. This is convenient when using the laptop in the tablet or stand mode (with the keyboard facing down). It takes some time getting used to, but once I did, I enjoyed the keyboard. The keys have substantial travel, and the keyboard is comfortable to type for long periods of time.
Touchpad:
The touchpad does its job well, although it's not the largest nor the most comfortable.
Battery:
The battery life is solid, and consistently gives you 12 hours on a single charge. There are several power profiles, and I found that both the "best battery efficiency" or the new snappier "AI" (where the laptop automatically picks the power settings based on the usage) profiles both give me 12 hours of light work (Citrix Workspace). Somewhat surprisingly, the battery time remaining function is disabled on Windows 11 out of the box. Once I enabled it, it became clear why it was disabled: the time remaining under-estimates the remaining time by a factor of 2.
Display
The laptop has an LCD display with 1920x1200 resolution. This is slightly higher than the HD resolution. Windows ClearType helps to make the fonts readable at smaller font sizes, although I recommend higher resolutions if you consistently need to work with small fonts. There is backlight leakage around the edges, especially -- in my case -- near the top left corner: see the attached photo. The backlight leakage is noticeable during startup, when the hp logo shows up. You can also see it when showing black screen in PowerPoint, which is what I did to take the attached photo. However, I have not been noticing it in day to day use. If you care about color reproduction, then I recommend that you go for a higher-resolution OLED display version: on HP's website, the OLED upgrade is $100, however, the shipping times are much longer than through BestBuy.
Stylus:
The stylus is sold separately, and HP makes it hard to figure out which one is compatible with this laptop. Although the maintenance manual recommends HP Active Rechargeable Tilt Pen MPP 2.0, this pen is inferior to the more recent HP 700 Multi-Pen.
HP Active Rechargeable Tilt Pen MPP 2.0 pen magnetically attaches to the right side of the keyboard. However, whoever designed the laptop-pen combination was not thinking straight: once magnetically attached, the pen fools the laptop's lid magnetic sensor into thinking that the laptop lid is closed, and the display shuts off. To make matters worse, the tip of the pen blocks the headphone jack. You *could* attach the pen further away from the display hinge and avoid these problems, but then the attachment feels rather flimsy, and I worry about losing the pen. The pen itself is nothing to write home about: when I write, it skips from time to time, which makes for a frustrating writing experience.
HP 700 Multi-Pen is more sensitive (so it does not skip when you write on the screen) and has a spring-loaded tip, which makes writing much more comfortable. Still, the quality of writing is not as good as on Samsung Galaxy Tab series tablets. However, if you are not planning to spend hours writing on the screen, the tablet will do an okay job.

I got this open box for $468 and I can't be happier. The HP Omnibook X Flip goes on-sale almost always for both Intel and AMD models. My laptop has been snappy, fast and smooth so far. Perfect for school and basic tasks. Display for a 1080p looks sharp and clear, touch is responsive. Battery life isn't excellent, but even after 4 hours of casual use I only dropped over 20%. You may look into the Snapdragon ARM models if you want better battery life, but no doubt full windows is more capable, but if you're buying this chances are you aren't into demanding tasks. However, the Ryzen AI 5 is a strong CPU with 6 cores 12 threads, max boost of 4.8ghz paired with 7500mhz DDR5 soldered. The built in NPU is great for potential AI tasks you might wanna utilize in the future, but in my observation not many software or features can utilize this yet. I highly recommend if this laptop goes for under $600, if not there are better options even within the Omnibook lineup itself.

I had a fantastic experience at Best Buy in Tustin, California! The staff were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, honest, and polite. I visited with a friend who was visiting from abroad, and he was equally impressed by the outstanding level of service. It was clear that the team is very well-trained and genuinely committed to helping customers, not just making a sale. Their professionalism and customer-first approach really stood out.

I found an on-sale computer online that Best Buy matched the price for in-store after they didn’t have the computer there. I was very pleased with the staff, and the computer was delivered speedily in 2-3 days. It came with all its parts and 0 damage. I always get the best electronics from Best Buy!

Glossy Display Accentuates Glare
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
BOTTOM LINE: The HP OmniBook X Flip-14” is an excellent mid-range laptop with a foldable display, plus it’s light and thin. The Touchscreen is responsive in any position and appears bright and colorful indoors. The new Ryzen AI5 340 Processor is fast while conserving battery life. Although the SSD is only 512GB’s, it is more than adequate for most users. The laptop’s “Achille’s Heel” is the glare-prone glossy screen.
RATING: An easy 4-Stars this laptop earned itself primally for speed, battery conservation, lightweight portability, and the ability to fold in different positions. But I would be hesitant to recommend this laptop to a friend only due to the glaring glossy display. If you are not concerned by the glare, then by all means, go for it!
TL; DR
DISPLAY: There is always a counterbalance with a display’s ability to provide a bright screen while not producing glare. Manufactures can choose less bright screens, with a lower NITS value, and then compensate by using a glossy screen. I always prefer a matte-display with a higher NITS valve for display viewability that does not distract the user.
As much as I wanted to bond with this laptop’s display, the glare I encounter was just too significant for me to recommend to others. Once you see glare, it never really gets better unless you are in total darkness or view from a distance beyond its intended use. And setting up for “Dark Mode” to save battery life, only makes it worse, when the majority of the black display areas appear mirror-like. If you enjoy viewing your ghostly reflections while working, you’ll be in ecstasy.
On the positive side, viewing at certain angles, the display is very colorful and bright. Indoors I would adjust the brightness to around 70 to 75% intensity which was perfectly suitable for viewing while conserving battery life. Outdoors at 100% intensity, the screen is visibly washed out and unreadable. Finally, using in our screened in porch, during daylight hours at 100%, was usable.
FOLDING SCREEN: This “2-in-1” design is not new; my wife was using one 10 years ago. Now beyond using as a standard laptop, using in an A-Fame (tent) configuration certainly has numerous benefits. Examples: Drawing, slideshow, cool video playback, etc. And flipping the display all the way around will allow you to lay this laptop flat, unobstructed from the keyboard, to easily use an optional stylus/pen for your artwork, painting, or just doodling. Note that the right-side edge of the laptop has a magnetic pen attachment area that holds the recommended optional pen (HP USB-C Rechargeable MPP2.0 Tilt Pen).
Nevertheless, I did not feel flipping the display all the way around in “Sudo-Tablet” mode was useful. Issue being, holding while feeling the keyboard keys inadvertently depressed, made it nothing like using a solid-back tablet. Now if there is a case or folio that could shield the keyboard in tablet mode, that could work.
KEYBOARD: It took me a while to appreciate this keyboard due to the limited separation between the keys and soft touch keys. But after a few days I was fine and it’s currently a non-issue. The backlighting keys are satisfactory and functional when required, although not the brightness even at their highest setting.
MEMORY: OK, 16GB may well be more than sufficient for now, and hopefully future use. However, I would prefer to have 32GB onboard and would be willing to buy and replace myself. Researching LPDDR memory, it is not modular, it is embedded. Meaning it has to be soldered directly onto the motherboard for speed and efficiency. Another design technology trade-off. Bottom line: Memory is not upgradable.
Using the current version of Windows 11 Home 24H2, running MS Edge with 5 open tabs, listening to my iTunes M4A’s using Media Player, with an open Excel spreadsheet, while typing this review in Word, Task Manager showed 58% memory use from 41% after a clean bootup. So just maybe 16GB will be all I will ever require.
HP SOFTWARE: I’m assuming that the current trend for Next Gen Ai, Recall, Copilot, etc. processing requires unique and dedicated applications. After firing up this laptop, and after the numerous system updates, I jumped over to Settings/Apps/Install Apps for a peak. Hmmm, there are 13 HP Applications; actually 14 when including the myHP app buried further down the list. Normally I would uninstall what I consider bloatware but will decline to do so only because I am no longer confident which apps are actually needed.
Finally, I believe two of the HP application could be married into one. The “HP Support Assistant” and “myHP” both providing HP support type information and options. Having to open and manage two apps for HP features, both with login’s, is just silly.
BATTERY LIFE: Excellent! No doubt the AMD Rysen Ai-5 340 wizardry, coupled with the embedded 65-watt 3-cell lithium-ion polymer battery, is marketed to provide up to 19.5 hours of advertised video playback. No, I have not seen the 19+ hrs. but have experience over 13 hours of actual laptop use with 20% remaining.
I will also mention this HP Laptop, using the myHP app, provides access to “Battery Manager - Maximize Battery Health”. That reduces charging the battery to an 80% level for extending its lifespan. (This is not a Window’s feature but requires a manufacturer application or BIOS setting.)
SUNDRY FEATURES: High-speed USB 40Gpbs PD Port. IR camera for Facial Recognition (Windows Hello) with mechanical camera block out switch. Solid WiFi 6e connectivity. A HDMI 2.1 port. Radeon 840 graphics. Corning Gorilla Glass 3 Screen. And a 65-watt USB Type-C power adapter.
MANUALS: PDF’s can be found on HP’s web site (User Guide & Maintenance). It would be helpful if there were links to all of the required Documents found in Best Buy’s site under “From the Manufacturer”. Currently, there is only a combined “Brochure - Data Sheet” available there.

I couldn't help but smile when I opened up the box for this laptop. I was really impressed with the feel and build quality of this laptop. It looks and feels quite premium. Most of the chassis seems to be made of metal, aluminum perhaps. It is chunky, has some weight to it and is cold to the touch. I may be wrong, it is really hard to tell. But I feel like the top and bottom of the laptop is plastic. I only say that because it is lighter than it looks. I can't find information on the materials used in this laptop, either way.. it looks and feels great! It feels like it is built to last. The screen is very glossy, 14" and seems to be an IPS panel. The screen, in my opinion is the weakest thing about this laptop. The viewing angles aren't great, colors looked a little washed out when viewed from the side, and there is sight backlight bleed / IPS glow in certain situations. Contrast ratio is not the greatest, blacks also look more grey than true black and the screen seems to be capped at 60hz. I feel like laptops should come standard with a 120hz refresh rate. It is not a deal breaker by any means, but it's 2025 and having at least a 120hz refresh rate will make a laptop feel so much better. Especially when scrolls through web pages and applications. It is not the worst screen I've seen on a laptop, but I wish it was better. This laptop is very classy and beautiful. It needs a beautiful screen to match.
The AMD Risen AI 5 with Radeon 840M integrated GPU feels quick and snappy. It can handle day to day tasks like photo editing, video editing. It can also handle light gaming. I was able to play rocket league, and Ninja Turtles - Shredders revenge without a hitch. It is definitely not a gaming laptop, I experienced serious frame drops when I tried playing more modern AAA titles, but it can handle some games. They'll probably run better at a medium / low settings at 720p/1080p resolutions.
The Ryzen "Ai" chips are new to the Market, at least this is the first I've heard of them. They have a dedicated "neural" processing chip for Ai tasks. I'm intrigued to see where this will go, if it's anything like other Ai chips I've researched, I assume they will learn and improve at completing tasks as they go. AMD has always been a favorite chip maker of mine, and the processor in this computer is very impressive. It really sips on battery while performing some intense tasks. Ive been using it daily for about a week, and I've only had to charge it once so far.
The built in speakers are located on the bottom of this laptop, ( a weird choice) but they still sound very good. The laptop folds all the way back and you can lay it flat with the screen up, or set it up like a tent. So having the speakers on the bottom of the laptop makes sense when you take advantage of the adjustable screen.
Speaking of Ai.. HP's Ai assistant is kind of meh.. It feels more like bloatware and is redundant. This laptop comes with Microsoft Copilot, a Microsoft Ai assistant which is easier to use and more polished than HP's Ai assistant. Copilot is helpful for daily tasks, but it also needs some polishing and refining. To me, it feels more like a glorified search bar. The ai assistant in this machine is kind of limited for now, perhaps Microsoft will improve it in the near future. But for now, I don't find it to be too useful. I would rather load up a google search bar for finding and doing what I need to do.
Overall, I really enjoy using this laptop. It is great for productivity.. work from home, media consumption and light gaming. The AMD chip in this laptop is the best thing about it, it is so efficient with battery while being very snappy. I hate to give it a 4 star review, because it is so close to being an excellent laptop, but because of how unimpressed I am by the screen on this machine, I have to dock a star and give it a 4 out of 5. Would I recommend this laptop? I'll say yes, but only if you absolutely need and want to have a laptop that can fold completely flat, and can stand like a "tent". It is classy, lightweight, and performs well while being very battery efficient.
Pros: Classy Design
Plenty of Ports. 2x USB C, 2 USB A, a full size HDMI and 3.5mm Aux port.
The new AMD Ryzen Ai chip is quick, snappy and battery efficient
Keyboard and touchpad are comfortable
Cons: The screen has poor viewing angles, and colors look washed out in some situations. Screen is also only 60hz.
This laptop kind of reminds me of the laptops that corporations buy en masse for the workplace.

I found the HP OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1 - Copilot+ PC - 14" 2K Touch-Screen Laptop with AMD Ryzen AI 5 processor to be a very solid performer and quite capable for most laptop tasks. Its 16GB Memory of fast 7500 Mhz RAM and 512GB SSD provide plenty of horsepower and snappy performance for office productiviity software like Microsoft Office 365. The onboard AMD Radeon 840M graphics powers a bright 1920x1200 display, very appropriate for a 14-inch display. Another great feature is the lighted keyboard which is almost a necessity for laptop computers these days.
As stated in the model's name, the HP OmniBook can be used as a tablet and the mechanism to change to a tablet is as simple as flipping over the screen and voila, it’s a tablet. The screen is made of Corning Gorilla Glass, so you know it can hold up to some abuse and suitable for using a stylus with the touch screen.
Battery life it excellent as I ran the laptop for over 7 hours and the battery percentage only dropped from about 90% to around 60%, granted it did sleep for some of that time. Recharging is quick using the included charger plugged into a USB-C port for convenience.
I think what I really like most about this laptop is the simple clean and thin case design, along with the easy conversion to a tablet, making it a versatile and easily portable laptop for most laptop users’ needs. The laptop seems to have ample ventilation and not once could I detect any kind of heat in use. Software installation of Microsoft Windows 11 went smoothly, albeit with several downloads and restarts to complete the process.
Again, the HP OmniBook offers a very comprehensive laptop with an overall clean design, good battery life, and snappy performance, all wrapped in a stylishlty simple yet sturdy metal case and tough scratch-resistant screen.

The grey “clam” case design seems well constructed with sturdy hinges. At 3.11 lbs., it is heavier than I expected but still light enough to make it easy to travel with as does the 2 in 1 design and the Gorilla Glass 3 screen. It should more than meet your work, light gaming and streaming needs.
Impressions;
It comes with AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processor with NPU and 16 meg of L3 cache and AMD Radeon 840M graphics. This combination is nice for pretty much any business app or day-to-day processing you might use as well as light gaming. I loaded up Minecraft Java edition and had my grandsons have at it and they had no issues. But heavy gaming really isn’t an option born out by my PCMark10 and 3Dmark test scores.
I am a huge fan of 13/14 inch laptops. They are just the right size for traveling and fits easily on the seat tray, even when the seat in front is reclined.
16GB LPDDR5X 7500megahertz memory. Faster than I have in my gaming desktop I built 2 years ago.
WD PC SN5000S SDEPNSJ-512G-1006 M.2 SSD. It tested as fast as its specs state using Crystaldiskmark 8.0.6 x64. But why not go with 1TB - the cost must be minimal. Not sure how easy it might be to update by opening the laptop. I updated my drive several years ago on an HP laptop and it was easy. Would be easier to accept if had mico-sd option.
Wi-Fi 6e. That’s fast, but why not 7?
LED IPS screen is good at 1920 x 1200 with better colors and viewing angle than I expected but still prefer OLED. At 400 nits laptop will only stream HDR, not natively. Touch sensitivity is very good. The screen is a tad more reflective than I like, which may be in part due to Gorrilla Glass 3 being used? Changing angle always helps.
The back-lit keyboard is nice size with very large lettering. On/off is top right of keyboard which I like as it makes it hard to accidentally turn off laptop, but it is where the delete key is normally. It does have a small light which is always on which helps to remind you. Function key also has a small light that is always on as well. The touchpad is a nice size and tracks well. Overall, I liked the tactile feel.
The sound, using 2 Poly Studio speakers, is impressive. I could not find exact watts, but the speakers seem to be mounted on the very front of the laptop under the keyboard area (2 little slits). It has good volume, and the sound seems to envelop you.
Left side connections are 1 USB 4 (40gbps), 1 USB-C 3.1 (10gbps), 1 USB-A 3.1 (10gbps) and 1 HDMI 2.1. Can charge from either USB-C but would have liked one on the right side to allow charging from either side. I transferred a 7GB movie file from a Samsung T7 M.2 external ssd in under 10 seconds, using any of the USB connections. I connected a 4K monitor using HDMI connection and finally got it setup to stream 4K at 60Hz. Using Windows 11 monitor settings was difficult to setup, and I don’t know if it might be due to me being unfamiliar with how AMD video works. I will say I tried to access Omen Gaming Hub – and it froze every time so not impressed with it.
Right side connections include another USB-A (10gbps) as well as combined headphone/microphone jack.
Camera has a manual slide to cover it – which is an excellent idea.
3 cell Lithium-ion polymer battery. I looped a 1080P movie with balanced power, Bluetooth on using wireless headphones and wi-fi off and after 8 hrs. I had 16% battery left – which is good in my book, but nowhere near the 19 hours mentioned.
No micro SD card reader
No Finger print reader.
1-year warranty
This laptop seems to be sturdy and can handle any day-to-day processing needs as well as light gaming. It’s a tad heavier than I would like and does not have OLED screen. But I would be happy to use it and recommend it at 4 stars.

Got this for my daughter who is heading off to college in a couple of weeks. We were looing fr something lightweight with a nice screen, good memory and good processing power. Didnt need a lot because she’s not studying quantum physics… The flip screen is really cool. Got her a smart pen and the integration is flawless. Its also touchscreen so she has that flexibility. She says she loves it so that makes me a happy mom.

The New Standard for Windows Laptops?

HP didn't disappoint with this premium laptop. This is one of the best laptops I've felt. The all-metal design is sturdy. It feels solid and not like some thin aluminum. That was the first thing I noticed. I'm not sure what coating HP is using. This device doesn't absorb fingerprints like some other devices.
Pros
-All Metal-Premium Design
-Thunderbolt 4 port, USB-C (10GB) port, and 2 USB-A (10GB) ports
-Lightweight Package that can be easily put into a bag
All day battery Life at 60% Screen Brightness, I was able to get over 15 Hours of online video playback
-A Good Everyday Processor that will get the basic needs and some basic content creation done
-A Quiet Laptop, Not once did I ever hear the fans ramp up
-The Keyboard (Subjective) has very short travel, and I mean short, but the clicks were satisfying
-16GB of RAM and 500GB of Storage (I would like to see 24GB of RAM)
Again, I can't get over how nice this laptop feels. The speakers get loud even though they fire down. The Omnibook X Flip has set the standard for me for Windows Laptops. There is one flaw, however. This is where I feel like the mark was slightly missed.
Negative
-HP cheaped out on the screen. The screen is clear and crisp, but its colors are not 100% accurate. This may be a turn-off for some creators. You made such an elegant laptop. You even gave it a glossy screen, which is ideal for a two-in-one. I'm even fine with the 1920x1200. Yet, the color accuracy was missed.
-Also, no laptop in 2025 should come with McAfee... Uninstall this NOW! HP has a lot of "bloatware" that comes with the device. There is so much "HP" this and that. Why did my device come with HP's gaming software installed? This is not a gaming laptop... The bloatware needs to stop...
-AI... AI... AI... I don't care about the AI because it's nowhere near as good on laptops. Feels like HP is shoving it in our faces...
-RAM not upgradable but the SSD is
Even with the negatives, this is a great laptop. It is suitable for an everyday laptop, a school laptop, or a business laptop. You get everything that you need to get your work done. Lightweight and portable with enough ports to be used as a home work station! Just relax on the bloatware HP...
