Customer Ratings & Reviews

This HP OmniBook X Flip 14 inch Laptop is a sturdy little computer that will handle day to day tasks with ease while throwing in a little bit of fun for the adventurous user. I know that the product description states 16 inch, however the laptop I received and am reviewing is the 14 inch variant. When I was in college I had a flip laptop that I thought would be an amazing bridge between laptop and tablet/television and enjoyed it at first. However, I am not sure that the technology was quite there as the hinges eventually started to wear and the laptop broke in half. This is now the third HP laptop that "flips" into the tent or tablet configuration and I am convinced that HP has this figured out now. I have ZERO concerns that this laptop will have any problems with the hinges. So if that is something that causes you anxiety when you look at laptops, take a deep breath and relax! Setup for the HP OmniBook X Flip was a little bit more cumbersome than other laptops I have had my hands on, but not by much and is definitely very doable for all skill sets. This is the first time that I have received a laptop with absolutely zero battery charge. Normally when I open the box the laptop is around 40-60% charged. Obviously plugging in the laptop is the first thing you want to do anyway, but I had to wait about 30 minutes for the laptop to charge enough to turn on. I would also recommend charging to 100% and/or running on AC power when you first set up this laptop as it needs to go through a fairly timely download/restart cycle when first powered on. Overall, probably took about 20 minutes of just letting the laptop do its thing. Once setup, I ran though my basic routine for entertainment and business needs. Pulled up the email, went through my business suppliers weekly deals, made sure my calendar was accurate for the week, streamed music in the shop, and doom scrolled the social medias for a while. When I switched from business mode to boredom solving, I flipped the laptop into tent mode and found this feature and the touch screen as something I have sorely missed. When I finally found the motivation to be productive around the shop, I used the touchscreen and the flexibility of google to through my music to my workshop chromecast and was able to use the HP OmniBook X Flip as a controller for my tunes and videos. The touchscreen was amazingly accurate and responsive. Overall, the hardware included in this computer really works well together. The operating system, the AMD Ryzen 5 CPU, the 16gb RAM, and the WiFi 6e chip have made my usage so for very smooth and enjoyable! Add onto that I have been using this laptop fairly intensely for the last 3 hours and the battery is currently at 69%. This usage includes stress testing, streaming, and everything that is known to kill batteries. On the exterior, the HP OmniBook X Flip has 2 USBs, 2 USB-Cs, HDMI Out, and a headset jack. The USB-C ports are also used for charging, which seems to be the norm for laptops moving forward. I do regularly use an ethernet connection as I program networks and surveillance systems and I do wish this laptop came with an ethernet port, however I have a USB-Ethernet adapter (also available as Best Buy) that I carry in my work bag for this purpose. If you are looking for a business or student laptop that can also handle entertainment, I would jump all over this HP OmniBook X Flip. I may consider stepping up to the 16 inch with more storage than the 512gb that comes with this specific machine, however that is just personal preference and you can't go wrong with any computer in this lineup that you choose!

I replaced my computer at work with this one as my job is starting to experiment with AI - not to mention that the computer that they provided me was severely outdated and slow! This laptop runs on the 6C / 12T AMD Ryzen 5 340 AI Processor, which puts it somewhere in the i5-class performance range. The built-in graphics is the Radeon 840m. By giving up a little horsepower, what you get in return is a laptop that has respectable battery life above and beyond the 2-3 hours that most mainstream laptops give you (regardless of their advertised specs). This 14" model comes with a Gorilla-Glass screen, making it less susceptible to breakage or shattering. It's also wickedly clear - the brightness combined with the resolution on a screen this size makes for a very crisp picture regardless whether you're doing work, email, watching videos, or just viewing photos. Memory is 16GB , but I don't believe it's upgradeable , so if things get to a point where more RAM is required you're due for an upgrade. Also, the SSD is "only" 512GB - personally I've yet to find a need for larger than 512GB except for on a machine that is being used for gaming. Keyboard is backlit (white only) and is rather pleasant to type on. No numeric keypad here though. Overall a very nice computer. It strikes a balance of performance, battery life, great display and respectable specs all into an attractive 2-in-1 unit.

The backlit keyboard has a decent feel to it, with positive feedback when a key is pressed. Not overly noisy either. My biggest complaint is that the Home and End keys are not dedicated; you have to press the FN key first. And in another oversight related to this, they decided to associate the ‘FN LOCK’ function to the left SHIFT key. So, if you want to execute a SHIFT+HOME/END, you have to make sure you press & hold the SHIFT key first, followed by FN, and then HOME/END. If you get the timing wrong and press FN first, then you’ll engage/disengage the FN LOCK instead. Very poor design. I’m probably in the minority, but I use those Home/End frequently, and it drives me nuts that they aren’t dedicated. My next minor complaint is that the USB-C ports are only on the left side of the laptop. They have USB-A ports on both sides, so I’m not sure why they thought putting all of the USB-C ports on the same side made sense. I see this on many laptops, but it’s still annoying. Non-Microsoft bloatware is kept relatively in check. Half a dozen or so HP utilities, which mostly stay out of your way unless you open them yourself, Adobe, some kind of Dropbox promotion, and McAfee security. The camera has a physical privacy shutter, so that’s a plus. The front edge of the laptop, where your wrists likely rest, is smooth. Some other laptops have a hard edge that can be irritating. Battery life is pretty good. I was able to stream music for about 6 hours and still had 15-20% life left. Although I don’t use tablet mode often, it appears that HP took it into consideration with the overall design. Whereas many manufacturers are going for the smallest display bezel possible, the Flip is designed with just enough of a bezel that you can effectively hold the ‘tablet’ in one hand and interact using the other. If the bezel were any smaller, you might run into issues with your holding hand inadvertently interacting with the display. That said, it is a tad on the heavy side if you plan on frequently using it in tablet mode. Overall it’s a decent unit. Would probably make a nice laptop for school due to the size and tablet versatility. But the poor way they handled the Home/End functionality is a fault in my view.

This 2-in-1 laptop from HP is top tier! I use it for work and college so it pretty much hits all the marks for me. Laptop when I need it to type, or tablet when I'm just relaxing and want to watch a show or something. It's versatile and can fit into any category with zero limitations software-wise. Speaking of software, this thing runs smoothly. I've had zero issues, no lagging, no overheating, and the touch screen is super responsive. Battery life is as advertised and lasts the whole day on one charge. From work, I can go straight to class and have battery to spare by the time I get home. Granted, I still bring my charger with me just in case I work on something power-intensive. Better safe than sorry haha. Furthermore, I quite enjoy the build quality. It's sleek and feels like it was built well. Plus, it's aesthetically pleasing. The resolution and screen quality are also great! I do wish it could get brighter, but I mostly use it indoors, so it's not too big of a problem. This is great for professional and academic work, especially since it comes with 16GB of RAM, and you can even game on it if you want to. It's not going to give you 4k at 120 FPS, but it can manage on low graphics settings. Overall, this is a great product, and I don't think you'd be disappointed if you decided to take one home! 

Great choice! The timing was perfect when I recieved this offer... My wife's laptop had just died and I had given her one that did not have the touch-screen. The poor thing struggled mightily with the non-touch screen. I wouod look over and she would be whacking on the screen and getting frusturated because nothing was happening. I must have reminded her at least five times that the screen on this one was not going to work... She was so used to having the rtouch-screen that was just operating out of habit. Fast forward to this model and suffice it to say, she is much happier! I'm not going to get into tech specifics as thagt inpformation is readily availble from multiple sources. But I will say that this particular model is fast, efficient, and versitle. It can be iused as a laptop, tablet, or tent mode. As far as quality, in typical HP fashion, it's very good build quality. Setup was as expected, typical Windows. This is my tyhird experience with Copilot+, and I must admit, it is far and away my preferred AI application. Take your time and enljoy playing with it. End of the day, this is a great choice.

This laptop is fun to use and carry around. Perfect for the on-the-go creator, producer, or writer. With AI built into the software, it makes solitaire brainstorming a little easier while maintaining a multitask ridden lifestyle. This laptop has an upgraded Intel processor, which causes faster response time when searching or inputting data. Flipping the laptop into a tablet is always a plus in terms of function versatility. The 14 inch screen is highly responsive and performs at an impressive 2K resolution. There are built in programs that advocate for editors and media creators to express and support their vision. I have Concerns about battery life. On one charge it holds for a good 8-10 hours. However after a week or so the charge hasn't been holding the charge for the same amount. Also while in laptop mode it gets uncomfortably hot in my lap. I can only use it on a desk. But in tablet mode it's fine. All in all I'm happy with the laptop. I look forward to using AI to power my creativity.

This small laptop is perfect for home use, light gaming, and my two preteen daughters are already using it for school work and play. It charges quickly and holds a charge for a good while. The flip feature to use it as a tablet is fantastic. The touch screen is responsive and smooth when using either a pen or a finger. Although I was disappointed that a pen was not included. The screen is bright and antireflective. I have really enjoyed using this in tablet mode like a a-frame to have a mobile tv that's larger than an average tablet. The only thing I thing I don't really is the speakers do not sound very good in this A-frame configuration. They sound very good for such a small laptop in regular laptop mode, and they sound good in tablet mode. But set up they way I like to stand it, they don't sound good at all. Other than those two small gripes (lack of an included pen and sound in a certain configuration), This laptop is a perfect at home of on the go computer for light to medium duty work.

I've been looking for a new laptop that I can take when I mentor at a local Robotics group. It needs to have decent processing power, touchscreen, long battery life, non-proprietary charging, and HDMI port. This HP Omnibook X Flip 14 fit the bill quite nicely. Picking up this laptop, it's got a little bit of weight at nearly 3.5 pounds. On the left side, you have a USB-A port, and HDMI port and two USB-C ports. Having the physical HDMI port built in saves me from having to bring a dongle/adapter with me wherever I go. On the right side, there is an audio jack and another USB-A port. Overall decent amount of ports. Processing power is granted by an AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 which is paired up with Radeon 840M graphics. That gives this machine 6 cores and ability for 12 threads. It has plenty of horsepower to be used as a programming PC. It comes with 16 GB of RAM which is a decent amount of RAM for most uses these days. I would shy away from any lower amount of RAM these days. Unfortunately, the RAM is not upgradeable on this PC. I found the service manual and it doesn't mention any memory replacement options. The storage is rather minimal for my needs. 512 GB of SSD on an NVMe drive. Fortunately, this storage is replaceable. There is only one M.2 slot so if you are upgrading and want to keep the OS or contents of your drive, you'll have to get an adapter and do some work. I've done this before so I have the adapter, I'm just waiting for the pricing to come back down on a 2TB drive. I've had laptops in the past that had 2 M.2 slots that made upgrading easy. Otherwise a modern external SSD is another great option. The screen is a 14" touchscreen with a resolution of 1920 x 1200. What's more is that it has a 360 degree hinge, so you have the flexibility to flip the hinge from a normal laptop format all the way to a tablet style. The hinge is pretty solid and holds at the angle you set. This is important to me because there are sometimes we have to set up our playing field with exact dimensions and having a tablet style format is helpful to be able to zoom in on specifications and pan around the official gameplay documents. The display is nice and bright. It's rated at 400 nits. Battery life has been fantastic. It's rated for 14 hours of mixed use. So far in my week of testing, it's been sipping at the battery. It has a fast charge feature that gives you 0-50% charge in 30 minutes. Charging is done via a USB-C which is really important to me. Where I mentor, there are about a dozen laptops to use and there are three formats: barrel connectors, proprietary square (that almost looks like a USB port) and USB-C. The team prefers to use the USB-C computers because we can easily buy 65W adapters without having to stick to a particular manufacturer. The trackpad is just over 3" tall and just under 5" wide. So it's a decent size. The keyboard does not include a numpad. But the keys are somewhat larger than I expected. These days, all laptops are coming with about 50 NPU TOPS which gives you a decent amount of local AI processing power. This is plenty to run Windows Copilot. HP also has their HP AI Companion (Beta). The HP AI Companion does need you to sign in with an HP account though. I've been looking at the whole package of this HP Omnibook X Flip 14. The only place I'm disappointed is the non-upgradeable memory. I've been seeing a trend laptops not allowing memory upgrades for a couple years now, so it is not surprising. I think the included 16 GB of RAM is plenty for a vast majority of users. Otherwise, this laptop is going to be a great fit for my use.

Absolutely love the computer. Works very well for everything I need in college. It is good for light gaming! 4 stars because after light use for about a month a key started to stick.

I just love the ease of this laptop. I would purchase again.

Overall I really enjoy my laptop it’s very silk and slim. It’s also very convenient to take anywhere very light weight. Excited to try all the new features and settings.
