The laptop was a great purchase, it includes AI capabilities, it's fast, easy to maneuver, the black color is great, love the fact that you can use it as a tablet, and the screen size is perfect (not too small and not too big). The weight is ok, not too heavy.

The laptop works exactly as expected. It performs smoothly for everyday tasks, boots up quickly, and handles my regular workload without any issues. Build quality feels solid, and the battery life is reliable. Overall, a dependable device that delivers on what it promises.

The HP OmniBook X (Intel Core 7 Ultra, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) is a large 2-in-1 with a really nice IPS display that will satisfy many users.
One thing I've learned over the years of owning laptops and servicing them is that everyone likes different combinations of features. What I like, you might not like, and vice versa. So the key when shopping for a laptop is to learn what you like and then finding one that has those features.
I've always been a big fan of 2-in-1 laptops. One of the main reasons is for travel. On an airplane, you don't have to power them down like a laptop during takeoff and landing if it is folded flat, like a tablet. So you can continue to be productive for those extra 40 or so minutes, which can be handy. And as long as the touchscreen functions well (which this one does), the experience can be very good.
Most of the 2-in-1 laptops I have owned have been on the smaller side--13.3" or 14". I do find the 16" to be a bit big for a 2-in-1, and a little heavier than I would like. The weight of the laptop alone is 4 lbs, 9 oz. It still fits nicely in my backpack, but without a resting surface, it can get heavy for the hands and arms over time. However, I do appreciate that the power supply is not an enormous brick like so many other larger laptops. That makes the overall package easier and lighter to carry. The total weight, including the power supply, is 5 lbs, 3 oz.
The screen is IPS technology at 400 nits of brightness. I found the display to be plenty bright with rather deep blacks and bright whites. The screen is not quite OLED level, like on more expensive laptops, but it is very nice--and as I mentioned before, the touch function is responsive and works very well.
The keyboard is a zero-lattice keyboard, meaning there is no space between the keys. This is the latest styling cue of some more expensive laptops. This HP integrates the speakers on both sides of the keyboard to fill in the extra space. Personally, I think the keys are a bit too big and they also have a lot of travel. I would have rather had smaller keys and a dedicated number pad. This is a personal preference.
Regarding the speakers, the sound quality was OK. I did not feel there was enough bass, and the clarity was average. Volume range was good. I would have preferred more premium speakers, with the speakers mounted on the underside of the laptop--again, so I could have a dedicated number pad.
For speed and usability, the OmniBook X has the Intel Core 7 Ultra, which is a step above the Core CPUs (formerly the i7, for example). Intel ARC graphics are a step above the typical Intel Iris graphics. I ran GeekBench on the system and was a bit underwhelmed with the results. One of my other laptops has an Intel Core 5 Ultra with 8GB of RAM and the Intel Iris graphics. The HP having the Intel Core 7 Ultra with 16GB of RAM and the ARC graphics, I expected the GeekBench numbers to be a bit better. The HP clocked in at 2369 for single core and 10443 for multi-core, with graphics at 27130 with OpenCL. The other laptop with the Core 5 Ultra was about the same at 2244 / 10480 / 25424. Further investigation found out exactly why. The Core Ultra 7 in the HP is running at 2.2GHz with 8 cores and 8 logical processors. The other laptop with the Core Ultra 5 is running at 3.6GHz with 14 cores and 18 logical processors. More cores / logical processors means more applications can run simultaneously without bogging down the laptop. That includes multiple browser tabs.
However, the HP in general functioned well with good scrolling on the internet, no lag with multiple browser tabs open, and good performance with multiple applications running simultaneously. So for the everyday user that is not overloading the laptop with heavy tasks, it will perform just fine. I just would have expected more of a jump in the GeekBench numbers, that's all. The ARC graphics would come into play more with AV-intensive work, like photo or video editing.
However, the Core Ultra 7 is a bit more power efficient, and it shows with the battery life. While not nearly as long as the new Snapdragon chips, this laptop did stay powered up for the entire workday with plenty left in the tank when I plugged it in for overnight charging.
During operation, there was some fan noise, but overall it was minimal and not loud. The laptop also ran nice and cool.
I do like the number of ports on the laptop. The right side has a USB-A and headphone jack, while the left side has another USB-A, an HDMI out, and 2 USB-C ports (one of whcih is Thunderbolt). The matte finish of the laptop case gives it a sleek and modern look.
Out of the box, there was a lot of HP bloatware. While some of it is useful, I found a lot of it to not be useful. Uninstalling it took a few minutes and was easy.
Overall, the HP Omnibook X 2-in-1 is a nice package. It has a premium feel and a really nice display. The battery life is very good and the system overall is peppy. 1TB of storage is also very generous. I would have preferred a dedicated number pad and more premium speakers. I also thing the laptop is a little heavy for a 2-in-1.

The 16-inch HP touchscreen laptop is an excellent balance of performance, design, and functionality. Its large Full HD display delivers vibrant colors and sharp details, making it ideal for both work and entertainment. The touchscreen feature adds convenience and versatility, allowing smooth navigation and creative interaction with apps.
Powered by the latest Intel (or AMD) processor and backed by ample RAM, this laptop handles multitasking with ease. Whether you’re editing photos, streaming videos, or running business applications, it performs reliably without lag. The backlit keyboard and responsive touchpad enhance the user experience, while its slim and modern design makes it portable and stylish.
Battery life is solid, lasting through most of the day on moderate use, and connectivity options—such as USB-C, HDMI, and Wi-Fi 6—make it easy to stay connected anywhere.
Overall, the HP 16” Touchscreen Laptop is a great choice for students, professionals, and creatives looking for a powerful, flexible, and user-friendly device.

The OmniBook X laptop is sleek, fast, and reliable. Its lightweight design makes it easy to carry when I travel. So much faster than my old laptop. Love it!

Runs very smooth, has a touch-screen feature, long lasting battery, and a 16'' display. This is the perfect laptop for work, studying, and even entertainment. Not only that but the whole thing can actually fold in reverse! So yes, dear reader, I'd say this is worth every penny.

Excellent Laptop – Reliable, Fast, and Sleek!
I’ve been using my HP laptop for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier with the performance. It starts up quickly, runs smoothly, and handles everything from work tasks to streaming without slowing down. The display is crisp and vibrant, making videos and documents easy on the eyes.
The keyboard is comfortable for long typing sessions, and the touchpad is responsive. Battery life is impressive—it lasts through my workday without constantly needing a charge. I also appreciate how lightweight and slim it is, making it easy to carry on the go.
Overall, HP delivered a great balance of performance, quality, and value. If you’re looking for a reliable laptop that won’t let you down, this is definitely the one to get!

Loaded Specs for the price point. Does meet all the needs for Home and School Use. Fast, quite and reliable so far after couple of months of use.
4 Cell battery is a + for longer use without battery. USB C charger is quite compact and overall weight is not that bad. Big screen is not a problem and the touch pad is very seamless. Connecting an iphone with Phone Link on Windows 11 is an added advantage.

As a beginner in the world of coding, I was looking for a reliable, budget-friendly laptop to learn and practice programming. After some research, I chose the HP Omnibook, and so far, it’s been a great choice for getting started. Smooth Performance for Basics: For learning Python, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, or even running lightweight IDEs like VS Code or Sublime Text, the HP Omnibook handles things smoothly. Comfortable Keyboard: As someone who types a lot while coding, I really appreciate the keyboard. It’s quiet and comfortable, which makes long coding sessions less tiring. Good Battery Life: I can work for hours without needing to plug in, which is great for studying or coding on the go. Lightweight & Portable: It’s thin and light, which is convenient if you’re taking classes, going to the library, or working from a café. ❤️❤️

Great laptop overall. Responsiveness is very good, case is sturdy and feels a very expensive material, Touchscreen works great when you need it, battery is amazing. Cannot say enough for my purchase. Little noisy fans here and there but nothing out of ordinary when you run programs that need ram. I needed a little time to adapt to the keyboard.

The typical laptop gotchas with having to fix the mouse pad issues of palm sensitivity. I could not operate with this keyboard layout. I kept hitting the caps lock instead of A. Just a difference between a standard keyboard with the num pad.
Audio speaker was typical for a lap top. Not great. The bluetooth setup was good, and using skullkandy bluetooth worked okay. Usb C port wired earbuds was also okay.
Watching a video was good. The color was just a tinge yellow.
The battery of this ombibookx is great. I get a solid 13 hours across a week trial.
It would be good to have two charging thunderports(one on each side of the laptop). I would rather have an old fashion charging jack.
But in the end, i could not handle the keyboard layout. The ombibook does come in the 17" which has the full keyboard. I found this out after i tried the lenovo yoga.
Now, I did swap it out for the Lenovo 7i yoga. The overall features of the HP are better. just note the keypad on this ombibookx 16". Maybe i just got a lemon lenovo 7i yoga.
Now, Best Buy salesman in Allen Tx went and signed me up for a warranty and credit card. I told him to cancel the sale and i will buy the laptop at another store. He said he took it off, but only took the extended warranty off. He put the wrong address for the credit card, and once i got an email from best buy about a credit card, i called and got ahold of an AI operator. I tried to get to a human operator for 20 minutes to verify information, and finally hung up. I asked microsoft co pilot AI how to get around the AI in best buy credit card in order to reach a human. Co pilot said to report the card as stolen and it will connect me to the human operator. Best Buy AI replaced the credit card without updating the address and not connecting me to a human operator. Without the full credit card number i cannot get online to change it myself. I finally called Citi Group and got through to a human and straightened it out. I am still waiting for the card. We are at the beginning of AI , and AI is still confused. Not good.

This laptop is everything I dreamed it would be! The setup was fast and easy, it runs fast, and looks great. I was a bit nervous about folding it as I've never had one that could fold but I'm glad I did because tablet mode is awesome. Absolutely love the touchscreen capability. I am very satisfied with this purchase! 10/10

Great purchase! We bought it as my main work computer and it has plenty of storage and the processing is fast. Touchscreen makes it easy to use and collect signatures when necessary.

This laptop was exactly what I was looking for to use for business while traveling. Sleek design, comfortable keyboard, nice larger screen. Although I have read in other reviews that it is on the weightier side for laptops, I did not find it terribly heavy while carrying at a convention.
