There are lot of really nice things about this laptop, but a few significant annoyances that keep it from realizing it's potential. I want to like it more, but keep running into frustrations.
Pros:
- Good value
- Reasonably bright screen (for indoor use)
- Quality feel overall
- Good keyboard
- Good trackpad
- Nice hinge mechanism
- Nice thickness and weight
- Mechanical camera shutter
- Thunderbolt
- Surprisingly good sound for its size and use of down-firing speakers (when placed on a hard surface)
- USB-C charging
- Nice color
- Good collection of ports for a slim computer - 2xUSB A, 2xUSBC, HDMI, and headphones
Cons:
- Crashes frequently: This is the most significant problem. It seems to be related to bluetooth drivers since crashes frequently occur just as I pop my earbuds in and get ready to start a video call.
- Mediocre webcam and fiddly performance with Windows Hello
- Undocumented behavior with HP stylus: The stylus conveniently sticks to the side of the computer, but forces the computer to go to sleep. The stylus must be removed to use the computer.
- Pointless Copilot key and integration
- Lots of undocumented HP stuff running in the background
- Poor color gamut: Biased towards blue
- No disk encryption features in BIOS
- Battery charging limits hidden in BIOS - not accessible from within Windows
- Tablet integration in Windows is a mess (not unique to this computer)
- No way to lock landscape orientation
- Gives slow-charging warnings when powered through a dock that should provide MORE power than HP's included power adapter

Laptop works very smooth and easy to setup. Instructions are clear and connects to dual monitor easily. Light weight and good for someone working on data. Very impressed!

I was looking for a decent laptop for my college going son... this came up on deal and had been at a sweet spot from price & performance point...had this been 32GB RAM it would have been deal for me & no look forward. I have had issues with HP laptops from work & personal purchases in the past but OmniBook Flip X is kind of great line of laptops which is changing my mind towards HP products... lets see how it goes from here but as I write this has been a great going and son loves it... its little heavier as compared to his prior Samsung Galaxy Pro 360. Great blue color, screen, battery is holding up well.

I like it. Coming from a Yoga 2-in-1 (which I also liked, but the drive failed). I enjoy the larger keys on this keyboard. Battery life is decent, screen etc. are good. Build quality seems on par with the laptop that failed. For me, there is no discernable difference between this and the previous laptop which was ryzen 7, except battery life reportedly may be slightly better. Best Buy was great to work with, which along with Geek Squad protection, made for a comfortable experience in getting from the previous laptop to this one. That being said, I also got a couple of Yoga 7i for two kids starting college since I was able to get a better price at the time. One other note: Geek Squad offered to install windows 11 home with local accounts, so that Windows Drive Encryption would not be initiated (I don't need it, not worth the tradeoff imo. My husband was grateful for that, having built and set up windows on two other computers and a mac earlier this year! He didn't have to tweak the Omnibook much after Geek Squad did the set up.

Got this on sale for my father in law for christmas. He was using a 10+ year old laptop with an i3 an 6GB of ram. This is an amazing upgrade. The build quality is amazing, the screen is great and as a mac user I am jeloous of the touch screen. The battery life is also amazing, easily 12+ hours.

Brought my sister from Belgium to the store to make this purchase. .This unit checked all of the boxes for her. She found it easy to set up and was impressed with the brightness and clarity of the screen. It was so much faster than the older Win 10 ASUS laptop that it replaced. Once she got home in Belgium, she easily set it up to an external monitor so that she can have two displays running at once. She has no regrets for this purchase.

I was impressed with the speed of this laptop. It has a slider for camera I was glad about that. It’s a new operating system for me but I have had 2 long meetings and Zoom working no problems so I’m impressed. Great sound and easy to travel with

I like the Hp omnibook x flip 2 in 1 laptop. I'm a student and I find it more than adequate for my use. I get a battery life of around 10 hours. The battery discharges around 10% per hour. The only con i noticed is the display is not perfect. The srgb is 65% and not 100% srgb which makes the color not perfect. The black looks grey. If you're not gonna watch movies in this laptop. You won't notice this much.

Great laptop, super easy to use. My grandfather loves it. The quality is really good and the set up process is pretty simple. I like the color and the sound quality and I love that you can fold it and use it as a tablet.

This laptop is really too good in terms of speed, navigation, touch, browsing etc
Only one thing keep in mind, if buying from BestBuy then get everything in written. BestBuy team is giving false information before buying and once you bought they change their statement. So make sure whatever they are committing, it should be in writing. Example: with this laptop, BestBuy associate told me, you will received 1 yr MS subscription along with McAfee. Once I bought, the picture is completely different. It's applicable onlybfor 30 days as trial version. So never ever be in trap of BestBuy associates.
