Customer Ratings & Reviews

CONCLUSION 7.35/10: I think one of the most important metrics in a laptop is how it feels to use. Do you look forward to opening it up and getting on it or not? And for this guy I do enjoy using it. It has a sleek look. Made from aluminum. It is relatively lightweight for its size. I really enjoy the keyboard. The trackpad is good enough. The 2-in-1 feature is nice in certain scenarios. The main weak points are the speakers and screen resolution/color accuracy/refresh rate. You’ll need to decide what your priorities are. If it’s a high-quality screen, with high refresh rate, and high color accuracy, then look for the OLED model. If you are looking for a large 16-inch laptop at a very respectable price for the amount of storage, RAM, CPU, and battery life then this is a good choice. Overall, this device does more things right than it does wrong making it a solid choice. But maybe not the best choice for the money. SCREEN 5/10: The screen is the most important aspect to me as it is the thing you interact with the most. This screen is quite the conundrum. Doing some things well but other things poorly. It’s a 16-inch IPS, LED, 1920x1200 (full HD), 16:10, 60 Hz, touchscreen, edge-to-edge glass, micro-edge, up to 400 nits, and 62.5% of the sRGB color range. 62.5% sRGB is unacceptable seeing as almost all other laptops near this price range support 90 – 100% of the DCI-P3 range (which is about 15% more colors which is a lot). Making everything look washed out. Which for a 16-inch screen that most will want to watch media on seems like a massive L. Contrast is much better than expected, which helps save it. 1920x1200 is a bit low just because it makes things a bit fuzzy on this big of a screen. This also helps save battery life. It comes with all the pros/cons of typical IPS screens. 60Hz seems low to me in 2025. Overall, this is a low-end display. But performs very well in its low end display category. And is the thing I dislike the most about this laptop. As if this was better, this would be such a better machine. I recommend looking for the OLED variant. As it would be worth the upgrade in the long run. With it being IPS I would have liked to see higher brightness than 400 nits which is OLED territory. TRACKPAD 6.5/10: They trackpad is the second most important aspect, as if it sucks, the laptop is useless, as I use laptops for their portability and carrying a mouse around limits that greatly. This one is large, with a unique plastic-like texture, non-uniform click, where the bottom it is easier than the middle, with nothing on the top. Despite how it feels, which I think is lower end, it is still accurate. It has a hybrid feel where it feels like the bad old-school windows trackpads, but has the new-school accuracy. But lags behind MacBook’s force touch trackpad or the Microsoft Surface 7’s precision haptic touchpad. KEYBOARD 8/10: The keyboard is the third most important aspect to me. With the size of this laptop, I’d expect full-size keys, but that isn’t the case. The delete key being left of the power key is frustrating. Thankfully, the power key requires more force. Shortcuts are unique and include: projecting your screen, emoji, screen brightness, backlight (its white, low or high brightness, 30 sec, 3 min, always on options which is great) that is very uniform, volume mute (has LED when muted), volume up/down, mic mute (has LED when muted), play/pause, quick launch Omen or MyHp app, screen shot. All keys are perfectly flat, requires moderate/severe pressure to depress, and very strong spring back up which I love. It is louder than a lot of other laptops. Where if I’m in a quiet room (work, school lecture) people can hear me typing. Overall, the more I use it the more I enjoy it. BATTERY LIFE 9/10: Battery life is also critical in a portable machine. The latest chips have significantly improved this. I had a hard time testing this adequately. Which is a good thing. Out of the five days of testing I never ran out of juice. I was able to get through 4 hours or work (50- 60% brightness, keyboard backlight on, doing nothing to the stock settings, mixed use of watching videos, word documents, emails, multiple things open, webpages, not caring what I was doing, etc.) and it would be at like 70 – 80%. Making me expect with mixed usage and light/moderate workloads probably leading to 8 – 10 hours of battery life easy. Probably closer to 12 – 13. With much more if watching battery and just doing video playback. So this will easily get you through a workday and/or school day without any issues. HP claim 23 hours of video playback and 15 hour and 45 minutes with mixed usage. Also, supports up to 50% quick-charge in 45 minutes. SPEAKERS 6.5/10: With a big chassis I expected better. They get very loud but are very tinny. They lack bass. Making it so I can understand things just fine. They get plenty loud. However, due to their treble focus they can start to hurt my ears after a while. It comes with Bluetooth 5.3 and a headphone jack so they should fix/mediate that issue if you have those. 2-IN-1 FUNCTIONALITY 9/10: This I would say is one of the main selling points of this laptop. As if you aren’t going to use it then its better to go with an alternative as I think part of the price is tied up in this. The touchscreen on this is excellent. Very accurate and the glass is smooth making it enjoyable to interact with. Switching to “tablet” mode is quick, easy, and works every time. If you rotate the device it will automatically rotate the screen. I found this is awesome for three tasks. 1. When you are watching something being able to get a different angle or closer and then go through touch is a unique and pleasurable experience. 2. When you are reading a document, scrolling, or browsing content going into tablet mode is a lot of fun. But this device is big and heavy which detracts a bit. 3. If you buy the stylus from HP (which I think is like $60) you can also take notes on this device. Which may work great for some people depending on their workflows. For a student I think that would be great if you aren’t buying an iPad and wanting digital notes. I also found that when using this as a secondary screen (for example I’m referencing something often while doing something) this 2-in-1 feature really shines. PERFORMANCE 7.0/10: This comes with the Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2, 256V, 8-cores, 8 thread, w/ 4.8 ghz boost, and 47 NPU TOPS. Which equates to an upper-mid range to high-end laptop. Being similar in performance to Apple’s MacBook Air M3 on Cinebench at least. It also comes with Intel Arc 140V graphics card with 8 GB of VRAM. Meaning you’ll be able to play a lot of modern games at around 30 – 60 fps at very low settings. But the cooling may be an issue as single fan that I never heard. Along with being able to video edit simple to moderate complexity (one to two video streams ideally at 4k or less with minimal/moderate effects) without any problems. However, RAM may be a limitation at 16 GB. Also, with the display having poor color accuracy you can’t trust what you’re seeing. Testing on Cinebench showed: POWERED: Balanced: Single 1874, Mulit 10,440, High Performance: Single: 1890, Multi: 9557 BATTERY: Balanced: Single: 1094, Multi: 8498 High Performance: Single 1899, Multi-core 9698 In comparison Very High-End/premium Laptops are going to be getting 1800 – 2200 single core and about 20,000 – 30,000 multi-core. But that is usually plugged in. As for the SSD. It is a 1 TB SSD. In Crystal Mark I got 6139 read and 5344 write. Which is excellent for a stock SSD. The max speed you can get on Gen 4 SSD is Read of 7000 - 7500 and write of 6000 – 7000 MB/s. So we are almost there. The 16 GB of LPDDR5X 8533 megahertz RAM is solid. That is the minimum I would recommend but also enough that most users shouldn’t have any problems. Is the sweet spot. No complaints here. It boasts Wi-Fi 6E. Wi-Fi 7 is the latest standard technically. But this is awfully close so there is no real loss here. I didn’t have any problems with connecting after sleep/restart or any drops of connection. Speeds were excellent at 1484 down and 1635 up. FEATURES 8/10: - It has 1x HDMI 2.1 port which I was able to get 4K @144Hz with. But couldn’t get 2560x1440 @240 Hz only 144 Hz. - 1x USB-C Thunderbolt 4. Able to get 4K144Hz and achieve 2560x1440@240Hz. Which also worked on the other USB-C non-thunderbolt port. - Via HDMI and USB-C. I was able to get my laptop display, 4K60 hz (not any higher refresh rate as it wouldn’t work), and 2560x1440 at 144Hz at the same time. For Dual USB-C I could get laptop, 4K@94 Hz and 2560@240 Hz at the same time. Which is interesting… Note with other laptops/PC I am able to get full Hz ranges and resolutions with these cables. - 1x USB-C 3.1 (would have preferred this to be another thunderbolt port but support same resolution as thunderbolt for external displays) and - 2x USB-A 3.1. Which is appreciated. Again, would have preferred to see USB-A 3.2 ideally. Love to see a headphone jack, which it has. - Along with manual privacy camera shutter. - Already discussed the backlit keyboard. - Comes with a 65 watt USB-C power adapter. - Does NOT have a numpad. - Windows Hello facial: Which worked like 50% of the time for me for some reason. BUILD QUALITY 8/10: Built out of aluminum. Some flex to the top and bottom, not the trackpad, where you rest your hands, or keyboard. I like that the edges are kind of tapered making it appear a lot thinner than it actually is. As where you grip is thin but where it sits is not. It requires four screws to open up. RAM is soldered. SSD is replaceable. Only one slot. As is the wireless/Bluetooth card. Otherwise stuck with what you have. Weight, for size is respectable at 4.15 lbs. Hinges are solid. With it being a 2-in-1 you have full movement. Screen stops wherever you place it. Does not bounce when typing or anything.

Ideal for the modern student—versatile, powerful, and stylish I purchased the HP OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1 for my wife as she heads back to college, and it’s been a perfect fit. The 16.2K touchscreen is vibrant and responsive, making note-taking and multitasking a breeze. The Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and 16GB RAM handle everything from research to creative projects with ease. Plus, the 1TB SSD ensures she has ample space for all her coursework and media. The sleek Eclipse Gray finish adds a touch of elegance, and the lightweight design makes it easy to carry between classes. It’s a fantastic blend of performance and portability for today’s student.

This is hands down the best laptop I have ever owned. I work where we are at many events or have several meetings or where I must load up and move locations. That being said– it is light weight, battery lasts a full 6 hour shift constantly running’s multiple windows (I forgot my charger so it died) yet it was charged in less than an hour. 3/5 appointments I am asked what laptop am I running. I can proudly say HP Omnibook. Only thing lacking in my opinion is a Ethernet port. I also need to purchase a screen protector and stylus. It’s easily tackles my workload even without two monitors.

I’ve been using this laptop for a few weeks now and I’m beyond impressed. The speed is blazing fast thanks to the Intel Core processor, and multitasking is effortless,even with several heavy apps open. The display is crisp and vibrant, which makes it perfect for both work and streaming. Battery life easily lasts a full workday. I also love the lightweight build, which makes it super portable. This laptop exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended for students, professionals, and casual users alike!

Great laptop! It is very fast, versatile, quiet and handles multitasking very well. The battery life is long lasting. The display resolution is sharp. It has plenty of storage space. In tablet mode the touchscreen is very responsive.

I am absolutely loving this HP OmniBook X Flip I picked up from Best Buy! The screen looks amazing and the 360-degree flip feature is super handy for switching between work and just chilling with a movie. It’s thin, fast, and honestly the best laptop I’ve owned in a long time.

I recently bought the HP OmniBook, and I’m really happy with it. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and great for work or school. The battery lasts a long time, so I don’t have to keep it plugged in all day. The design looks modern and clean, and it runs smoothly for everyday tasks. Overall, it’s a solid, reliable laptop that feels worth the price.

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 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.

Very clear screen, easy to use. Great quality. Lots of memory and quick downloading capability.

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.

Haven't had a laptop in over 8 years and only bought this one because I'm retiring from the post office and I have to do everything online so I needed a laptop and I also wanted to be able to watch movies on it and this one is you know great screen nice touch screen also and it also flips over completely will you can set it on the table and watch your movie or whatever seems good quality has a lot of storage you know I'm not the best on up-to-date stuff but this one seems great and it's been great and I have enjoyed working with it

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!

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. ❤️❤️

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.

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.
