Customer Ratings & Reviews

HP has been around for a while and they make some fantastic products. While I have tried a number of their products, I personally prefer their desktops & laptops. I was searching for a general laptop that can be used as a daily driver and not have to rely on my desktop. I want to point out that I had built a desktop, but I do not really use it because it was primarily for gaming, and being a father of four grade school children there is not time for much. Being on the go constantly I needed something as powerful as my desktop and the Omnibook 16 fit the bill. I opted for the Intel i9 variant with 32GB of ram. This device is perfect for those who are comfortable with large laptops, if I were to compare this to anything it would be the Macbook Pro 16. It is sleek and doesn’t get hot like some other devices. Intel has made great improvements with power efficiency and cooling. I must admit I am accustomed to using laptops that are between 13 – 14 inches so this is my first large laptop. I like it because as an older gentleman I no longer have to strain to see text and things on my screen. I would like to point out that the OLED variant is amazing and the refresh rate is great at 120hz. I am absolutely gushing over my new HP. :::General Thoughts::: My Omnibook was a nice experience, the box is simple and you find the device is a soft sleeve, usb charging brick (65watts) and paperwork. I thought it came with a stylus, it did not but that is fine I will end up buying one sooner than later. The OB 16 is lightweight, sleek and my particular model has all the bells and whistles. I will not speak about Windows because the experience is generally the same across various manufacturers. There is a whole lot to like and I will go over the basics, the screen is beautiful and it supports touch, the keyboard is great and backlit, trackpad is large and responsive, battery life is great, the I&O is top notch, there is plenty of power and the cooling is superb. :::Pros & Cons::: Pros: - OLED 2k screen (120hz) - Intel Lunar Lake Core i9 - Samsung RAM (32GB) - Plenty of storage (2TB) - Intel ARC (16GB) - Sleek - Lightweight - Flip style - Backlit keyboard - Excellent battery life Cons: - Haven’t found anything to dislike :::Closing Thoughts::: I use my laptop for daily use along with work occasionally, and I love that this can keep up with me. Battery is good, plenty of power and the one thing that confuses me are the speakers. I assumed they were on the left and right side of the keyboard but they are not. It sounds as if they are on the bottom. I do not really see the use for AI yet as I just do not think it is practical for my personal use as of yet. But that does not take away from the laptop as it is amazing, if you are in need of a great laptop then there is nothing better than this Omnibook.

Overview and Specs =========================== HP's newest OmniBook X Flip has everything except a powerful gaming-level GPU. The popular 2-in-1 style may not always make sense at this size (I think the sweet spot is 13-14"), but I'm curious to see how it performs overall. It's a slim powerhouse with a great screen that is priced surprisingly low for a well spec'd device like this. Initial Setup =========================== An understated chassis is nice, especially compared to some of the recent gaming PCs I've checked out. It's a large, dark grey rectangle that isn't flashy, but would look appropriate both at home and the office. With the laptop facing you, the left edge has USB-A, HDMI, and two USB-C (one 40Gbps Thunderbolt4/USB4 and one 10Gbps USB 3.2) while the right side has just a single USB-A and a combo headset jack. I think there should have been at least one more USB-C on this side. The keyboard goes back to the older, "floating lattice" design that you may have seen years ago. This contrasts from most modern designs that have cutouts in a keyboard deck or plate that separate the individual keys. This may be a love or hate prospect for many, so please check it out in stores if you have a chance. It is large and well-sized, since there's no number pad. Those large grills that flank the keyboard aren't primarily for the speakers since the real speakers are actually mounted underneath with a front-facing slot for sound. HP designed this so the laptop could sound better in any orientation, but it is a bit misleading. I hope the openings can provide some cooling at least! The display is a gorgeous OLED with a 3k (2880x1800) resolution and the deep blacks and saturated colors you'd expect. It's an absolute joy to consume content on this thing! That same resolution could be challenging at native resolution on a 14" display, but I'm quite happy with it at this 16" size. Of course, your mileage my vary. Enough about how it looks, let's see how it runs! Performance =========================== A top-of-the-line processor (Intel Ultra 9) paired with 32 Gb RAM, a 2 TB SSD, an NPU for local AI, and a beautiful OLED should check the boxes for most people! I think it would be fair to have high expectations and they were mostly met! To dig a bit deeper, this is Intel's Lunar Lake architecture (288V) that combines an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) with 48 TOPS and Intel's Arc 140V GPU. An NPU helps perform local AI tasks without having to go out to the cloud and use AI processing power there, for example. An NPU can help with generative AI (to generate text, pictures), summarize documents, and can be leveraged by software from Adobe, Davinci and more to help speed up processing. You may have also seen examples of NPUs enhancing web meetings by blurring backgrounds, AI-powered noise reduction, live transcription and more. Coming from Thinkpad keyboards as my preferred laptop typing choice, I was prepared to mostly hate this lattice-style keyboard, but it was better than expected and I think I got used to it pretty quickly. It doesn't have the same positive feel as my Thinkpad T or X-series laptop keyboards, nor is it as good as my LG Gram Style 14 (surprisingly solid!), but it's well-sized with a shallow depth. I frequently have to adapt between keyboards on a 10", 13" and 14" laptop so this spacious keyboard was almost too spacious for awhile... After getting used to it, I could appreciate the different typing experience. There's very little travel, so you can quickly get up to speed if you make the adjustment. The trackpad is also large and works well. It doesn't have separate buttons and clicks in physically, but it's not a haptic trackpad like the poorly-executed LG Gram Style 14 so that's a big plus. Thankfully, the webcam is a decent one with good resolution, light sensitivity, and is usable without having to get a separate webcam. I used a separate Poly webcam for testing, and actually preferred the built-in webcam except for lacking some placement flexibility. I started putting this through its paces with the standard weekly workload (tons of Chrome tabs and Edge tabs), video editing in Davinci Resolve, photo editing in Adobe Lightroom, VM testing in VirtualBox and normal productivity stuff in MS Office. For the most part, everything was handled smoothly and efficiently with the power you'd expect in a loaded PC like this. Tons of browser tabs from memory-hogging apps were no problem. The NPU was engaged by Davinci to help power through renders and edits, which is great when you don't have a dedicated gaming-grade GPU to help out. I first noticed this benefit when using a Snapdragon-powered laptop with Windows ARM and I'm still impressed at the benefits of a local NPU! As you'd expect, the display is beautiful, with a proper resolution for a 16" OLED that's great to watch movies and play some easier-to-drive games. With the ultra thin bezel, the display is practically frameless. The speakers actually emit sound from the front-facing slots and sound better than you may expect from such a thin laptop. They aren't great even with all the various Dolby and DTS logos, but they aren't in the same league as some of the best PC speakers out there. Yes, you can flip the display around and use it in tent mode or tablet mode, but I only did it for testing and doubt I'll do it again. Personally, I think this size is too large to be used like a tablet, and this is coming from the owner of a Samsung S10 Ultra! You can't talk about a laptop like this without talking about the OS - in this case, Windows 11. Yes, you can disable the controversial Windows Recall (I did) and oftentimes it feels like you're using beta software with ads, but it's a world most of us are used to by now. You can take some time and disable or remove unwanted features and apps to help optimize things a bit. I did read about some inconsistent performance on and off battery, but I didn't experience anything out of the ordinary. I did test mostly plugged in, using it as a desktop replacement, but even when roaming around the house to do some work, I didn't notice abnormal power or performance drops. The fans will kick in as you do demanding tasks, but perhaps my tolerance is high coming from gaming laptops that can absolutely require headphones when the fans are going full blast. Obviously this isn't a gaming PC, but it can game a bit, especially with older games at 1080p. Depending on the settings, you can approach 40-60 fps in older games which is impressive and playable! For example, Diablo 4 hovered right in that range while Counterstrike can hit the 100s. Not only that, Cyberpunk 2077 actually runs at 30-45 fps at 1080p! Sure, not an ultra/max settings, but I didn't think it would run well at all. It'll never replace a dedicated gaming PC, but it will be great for older titles. Enable Intel XeSS which helps upscale and optimize frame rates. Summary ========================== It's hard to talk about a powerhouse PC like this HP Omnibook X Flip 16 as a bang-for-the-buck value, but it is! You're getting a fully-loaded PC with an awesome display, tons of RAM and storage, and an NPU. The only thing missing is a dedicated GPU for gaming, but this combo actually does well for casual or older games. If you're in the market for a new 16" mobile desktop replacement, try to check this one out! I mean in stores, because you may need to test your tolerance for that keyboard layout. If it works for you, I think this is a great deal for a productivity and entertainment PC. Strengths: overall productivity performance, content creator performance, light gaming performance, beautiful OLED display Weaknesses: no SD card slot, no included pen (at least on this model), no fingerprint scanner

The HP - OmniBook X Flip, is quite possibly the most capable and versatile “hybrid” mobile laptop computer / tablet I have ever had the pleasure of using. There is just so much to like here, I don’t even know where to begin. I have used, but never owned, a laptop that also folds into a tablet with a touch screen. They have always seemed to be lacking in one area or another that made me pass on them altogether. The displays weren’t very big, or high resolution, the processors were generally slow, the graphics were entry level, they had very little RAM. It was always one, if not more than one of these issues for me. That's why, until now, I have always used classic style (non touch or fold) laptops, or gaming laptops, for all of my daily needs. In the past, if I was on vacation, or leaving the house for a getaway, I would usually be stuck taking three devices. A laptop, tablet, and phone. The HP - OmniBook X Flip has effectively consolidated the laptop and tablet into one device, and has done so with flying colors. For starters, the specs are wonderful for a hybrid laptop tablet. Boasting a truly stunning and impressive 16” 120Hz 3K OLED display, an Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 2 processor, a 2TB internal SSD, and 32 GB of RAM, one should theoretically be able to do just about anything with this laptop, except possibly playing AAA graphic intensive games, but I don’t need this computer for that. I can however report that downloading games with the Xbox app has worked flawlessly. I have played my old favorite, level 60+ Diablo IV character with dozens of foes on the battlefield and have had zero glitches. In fact, the computer didn’t even get warm. Needless to say, casual gamers will be happy with the performance of this machine. I mainly use my laptops for mobile viewing and editing of photos and videos, and this display has been absolutely beautiful for that purpose. Folding (or flipping) the laptop into tablet mode to show clients photography and video examples has been one of my favorite things about it. The feedback is basically, wow! I need one of those! The display is super sharp and vibrant. The text looks sharp and beautiful. When folding the computer into a tablet a virtual keyboard pops up, while the mechanical keyboard automatically disables, so your inevitable key presses don’t get in the way. Great stuff. Another very welcome surprise has been the speakers. These may be the first laptop speakers I have heard that aren’t complete garbage. They have a full stereo sound, and you can actually turn them up to 100% without distortion. I normally use over the ear bluetooth headphones with laptops, but with this one, I wouldn’t be upset if I forgot them. The design is sleek and modern. All of the right ports are included for most users, but I am personally still missing the SD Card slot. The keyboard has flat keys with minimal travel that are extremely easy to type on. As a bonus, the key text is very easy to read and the font they chose looks classy. The key backlighting covers the entire keyboard evenly and shuts itself off to save battery power when you take breaks from typing. There are three levels of backlighting, off, low, and high. I have mine set to high and it illuminates immediately as I begin typing again. Thankfully, on this laptop, the keys are backlit in white. No RGB needed on this one! I also appreciate the color and the feel of the laptop, and the aluminum build resists fingerprints extremely well and is easy to keep clean. Performance has been better than expected for a hybrid flip laptop. It seems that HP has listened to consumers and they have built a hybrid machine that can satisfy most people in today’s consumer market. The Core Ultra 9 is quick to respond to my commands. There is plenty of RAM on board to run several programs at once easily. Programs open quickly and run well on this machine with no excessive fan noise, or heat. The build quality is superb. The all aluminum design looks modern and stylish. This looks every bit like a premium laptop that just happens to also fold into a tablet. All appointments are here, even down to the fancy braided USB-C power supply. As I’ve gone on and on about how great I think this hybrid laptop is, there are a couple of minor things I do wish HP would have included, but are by no means, deal-breakers. When using in tablet mode, the keyboard effectively becomes the bottom of the tablet. Why not include a thin molded shell that snaps over the keyboard, so the keys aren’t being pressed (even though they are disabled), or simply to protect the keyboard if you set it down on a table? It can’t cost that much extra to include this in the box and I would happily pay a little extra to have it. It would even be better if the same shell snapped onto the lid as well, so you can always have it with you. Put a clear cutout in the middle so you can still see the HP logo. Just a thought. The other thing I would like to see included is a pen to use in tablet mode for drawing and general ease of use. While neither of these are anywhere near a deal-breaker, I think the bonus of having them would outweigh the factory production and modest additional cost. Lastly, as a content creator, I am constantly shooting with SD Card and Micro SD Card equipped cameras and drones. I personally do not like the trend of laptops disregarding the full size SD Card reader slot. I know there are USB adapters for this reason, but that is one more small thing to always take with you and to possibly lose, or forget. In conclusion, using the OmniBook X Flip every day has been a delight in every sense. With the 2TB SSD, I have been able to load all of the apps I use every day and then some. I can easily go from using the internet, to editing photos and videos, to flipping into a display to showcase my work, to watching a movie on Netflix, or playing a video game. All within seconds. As stated before, with the specifications this laptop has, it is capable of just about anything. *** PROS *** Beautiful 16” OLED 3K Display Sleek modern design with aluminum build Flips into tablet mode with touchscreen Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 2 32GB RAM 2TB SSD *** CONS *** Would love to see a keyboard cover and pen both included No SD Card slot

I knew the HP OminiBook X Flip was a capable system based on the specs, but it surprised me nonetheless with its performance. It’s a 16-inch 2-in-1 laptop with heaps of horsepower under the hood. The laptop is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 series 2 CPU, Intel Arc 140V graphics, 2TB M.2 hard drive, and 32GB RAM. Here is my experience after spending the past week using the laptop. The OBX Flip touch enabled screen can rotate fully around to allow the device to be used in tablet mode. It can also be used in tent and laptop modes. Weight is good for laptop use but a bit on the heavy side compared to dedicated tablets. Tablet mode does have some advantages for mobile computing when using the laptop on the go and space is limited. The body is well constructed with solid craftsmanship and build quality. The 65-watt USB-C power adapter is small and easily totable along with the laptop. The USB-C cable that connects the adapter to the laptop is constructed with braided nylon for extra durability. External features include two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, one HDMI port, and one 3.5mm audio jack. One of the USB-C ports is used for the power adapter when connected to AC power. Input options include a backlit keyboard with large well-spaced keys that are excellent for typing, and a large trackpad that supports multi-gesture input. There is a 5MP webcam that is Windows Hello compatible. The camera isn’t overly impressive, but sufficient for videoconference calls and has a hardware privacy shutter. The stereo speakers are positioned on both sides of the keyboard. The speakers don’t have a lot of warmth or bass for music listening, but sound good enough for a laptop. There is no SD reader nor ethernet port. The 3K UWVA OLED touch enabled panel is gorgeous. It has deep vivid rich colors and excellent blacks and contrast. The screen also has excellent viewing angles and good brightness. Refresh and response rates are snappy in both desktop use and gaming. The 3K resolution is tack sharp for both desktop and gaming use. My only complaint with the screen is that the glossy finish typically experiences harsh reflections if there is strong backlighting. On the plus side, it doesn’t seem to easily get grimy from touchscreen use. The OmniBook does not disappoint when it comes to performance. It effortlessly powers through my desktop tasks which include office productivity apps, drawing apps, and media editing apps. However, gaming is where this thin laptop unexpectedly shined. I'd heard that the latest gen integrated graphics were quite capable for gaming, but I had never personally tried gaming on them. I decided to give the Arc 140V graphics a try on some recent high-end titles through the Xbox app. The PC tried to launch the first title in a high preset, so I knew good things were coming. I ran a benchmark mode to confirm the preset was appropriate, which it was. This can handle most games at medium and high settings and the games look beautiful. I get good frame rates and the Arc can also handle effects like ray tracing. Shading, lighting and particle effects look realistic and comparable to discrete graphics. The Arc 140 does have some limitations. It doesn't produce silky smooth high frame rates like discreet graphics. It occasionally also experiences some hiccups and stutters depending on the type and amount of content being displayed and how resource intensive it is. However, it performs more than good enough in most games and I would have no problem using this machine for on-the-go gaming, especially cloud gaming. Preinstalled software is minimal, consisting mostly of HP support apps and the usual Windows preinstalled software. The only pre-installed app I uninstalled was McAfee because I use different security software. Most of the HP software is helpful for support. HP SupportAssist provides diagnostics and driver support. Another app can display an on-screen light ring for camera use. It even has multiple light filter options. There is also an AI chatbot app called HP AI Companion. AI Companion is similar to other chatbot clients, although it is still in beta mode. Microsoft CoPilot AI is also available. AI is also integrated throughout several other features of the PC. The HP OmniBook X Flip is a powerful and capable lightweight machine. I presumed it would be a strong performer for desktop use, but I wasn’t expecting it to be such a decent gaming laptop as well. It’s a quantum leap from past gaming on integrated graphics. The machine usually runs quiet and cool, even when taxed, and battery life has been good as so far.

HP pulled out all the stops with their new OmniBook X Flip. This is a seriously productive machine. I would say this laptop should meet the needs of just about anyone outside of serious gamers. Design and Peripheral wise, this machine has everything most people would need. It's razor thin chasis is bot visually appealing and lightweight. It's GORGEOUS 16" OLED display with a generous 2880 x 1800 resolution, perfect blacks and amazing colors allows plenty of room for window placement and multi-tasking. The 16" size also allows for full sized keys which make typing a breeze. The added backlighting makes it effortless to type in the dark. The left and right speakers have plenty of room to project crisp and clear sound, although it is not going to replace a nice set of studio monitors should the use case be audio editing. The touchpad is rather large and provides ample space for finger movement. I do with it was haptic vs diving board style. This may be one of the only drawbacks of this laptop. However, the touch sensitivity was accurate and most of the time allowed me to not worry about even pressing it. The webcam is decent and works flawlessly with signing into Windows via Hello. Resolution was decent in video calls and visibility even in dark settings was acceptable. There are 2 USB C ports on the left along with HDMI and an USB A. On the right is a USB A along with a headphone jack. This laptop charges via one of the USB C ports. The Intel Ultra 9 processor has more than enough power to assist even the most demanding workloads. The 32 GB of RAM and 2 TB nvme drive also provide ample room for power user tasks. The OmniBook does not have a discrete GPU and relies on Intel's Arc onboard graphic chip. While Intel Arc is a very good technology, it does not compare to the power and flexibility of a dedicated graphic processor, so anyone looking for high end gaming or is in need of high end GPU power should consider other options. The main feature of this particular model is the ability for the screen to bend or "flip" all the way to the back of the laptop which allows for either a "tent" style operation, where the laptop sits on itself triggering the screen to flip around, or you can put it in more of a "tablet" mode, and use a stylus. The OLED screen is also touch capable and offers a tablet like experience when needed. All in all, this is one seriously versatile machine. While this laptop ships with Windows 11, for those who are curious if/how it handles Linux, it does so with ease. I had a flawless experience running both Ubuntu 25.04 on the latest kernel 4.15.0-88 and I was also able to run Pop!_OS on it's latest beta of COSMIC without an issue. All of the components, including the touchscreen and flip functions worked as expected. This extends this laptops versatility even further for those looking for a developer machine. All in all, this is a great laptop and honestly, one of the best I've seen from HP. I do wish the touchpad got more attention and included a haptic glass version which would have really made this laptop a home run. Even without it, this is a seriously nice machine that should be considered by most people.

I fell in love with my previous HP OmniBook after being loyal to another well-known brand for several years. However, I needed something bigger because when I am doing remote work, I need bigger screen space. Plus, I enjoy watching movies and videos during my downtime. The OminiBook X presented itself and I was enthralled with the HP brand once again. Performance: The OminiBook X is is vastly bigger over my previous Omnibook which was 13” in screen size. Not only is the size notable, but so it the visual richness that’s across the screen. The clarity is sharp, and contrast is bold. And I am just talking about when I am using a Microsoft Office program! With the bigger screen, I am able to run Word, PowerPoint and a video call effortlessly which is probably in part to the Intel Core Ultra 9 processor. My previous OmniBook could run multiple apps at the same time as well, but on this OmniBook X, it looks more impressive. With a bigger screen comes a bigger keyboard layout. One thing I will not miss about my previous OmniBook was the amount of times I would accidentally brush the touchpad, causing the curser to move on a document I was working on to move unbeknownst to me until I looked up and saw a car wreck of words. Now I don’t have to be paranoid and divert my attention to not brushing the edge of my hands against the touchpad. I have to say as a writer, I love the way that the keyboard sounds on this OmniBook X. It’s responsive as you feel each key stroke connect. Speaking of responsive, the touchscreen responds to every touch. There’s no delay. And I need to mention that the keyboard doesn’t attract every fingerprint. I’m rather OCD when it comes to my keyboard, and it always annoyed me that on my previous OmniBook, no matter how clean my hands were, the keyboard keys would reveal a blemish from my strokes. With this OmniBook X, I am not distracted like I used to be. If you’re a digital artist, then you will appreciate not only the size of the screen but also the responsiveness of the touch screen. The OmniBook X allows for a digital pen to be used with it, but it does not come packaged with a pen. For the past several years, I have been accustomed to finger print passkey accessibility on my laptops. Even on my previous OmniBook, I opted for the fingerprint scan to unlock it. With the OmniBook X, they do away with the fingerprint scan but allow facial recognition or a personal pin code to unlock the laptop. I will admit that the camera is responsive when scanning me and unlocks almost instantly. The OmniBook will even detect when I walk away and lock itself. This device is just smart. Not only does this device have USB-C ports, but it also has a USB-A port. The reason why I am pleased with this is because I still have a camera and a gaming headset that use the USB-A port in order to access their settings. Does It Play Games? I’ve connected my OmniBook to my Xbox account which allows me to play games from the cloud with the Play Anywhere feature. I have been playing Gears of War Reloaded on this OmniBook without any issues. The OLED display really makes the game look sharp. Obviously, the OmniBook X isn’t a gaming rig but it does provide those “on the go” gaming sessions that we might crave when away from home. Entertainment: The OmniBook X comes with built in RealTek speakers on each side the of keyboard. The speakers are a definite improvement over my previous laptop because the speakers are more pronounced. Again, the OLED screen makes whatever you’re watching crystal clear. And because it’s an OmniBook, you are able to fold the device, allowing you to have it stand while you watch your video(s). Fantastic: With a bigger screen, sharper display, bigger keyboard, better sound and more power, I am loving this OmniBook X. It’s the upgrade that I didn’t know that I needed!

As a recent graduate, I definitely know the importance of having a reliable and fast-working laptop. Since I used my old one so much, I was in desperate need of a new one (my old laptop’s keyboard was barely working). When it comes to computers, everyone values different traits. For me, I look for one that has a long-lasting battery, is quick to set up, is easily portable, and is comfortable to use (with a wide screen and a smooth keyboard). HP’s Omnibook meets these qualities, as well as provides modern technology - with the integration of Microsoft’s CoPilot, the AI companion Beta, and the Recall feature - which made me really eager to try it! This is definitely a nice-looking laptop. It is very slim, which is nice, and the computer’s screen is very wide. The only thing that I was not too fond of was that it’s a bit big for my taste. Surprisingly, however, it is not much heavier than my old one, which is way smaller. So, I would still consider the omnibook to be portable (though you might need a big bag for it). Set-up was smooth, which is a must for me! You do need to give the laptop sufficient time to complete all the downloads for the AI technology, but overall, it was easy to log in and sync to my account. I was not sure how this technology would work when integrated into the laptop. Although I am still figuring it out, I am already amazed at how it enhances the user’s experience. I especially like the Recall feature because it helps track changes and progress in a project, as well as quickly find a page that I was reviewing or reading, even if I forget to bookmark it or save it somewhere. The Beta feature is also neat because it allows you to keep every project, research, and question organized and easily accessible. I also appreciate the little features like the face recognition sign-in, the privacy camera tab, the touch-screen, and its flexible modes, which all make it really easy to use and efficient for multiple purposes. If you are looking for a modern laptop that can keep up with all your heavy workload and help you work more efficiently and organized, the Omnibook is a solid choice.

Writing a review for this powerhouse is not an easy one. The HP Omni Book X flip has far left behind its competitors. 32 GB RAM, 2 GB SSD, Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 2 processor, Intel Arc Graphics. I must one of the powerful machines with 3K OLED Screen display which sways away with its magic. Top of it, the unmatchable Best Buy Price. Just for 999.99 $. One of the finest deals which only Best Buy can offer. This is an incredible machine one can hardly acquire in the deal offered by best buy. If you are an enthusiast looking for a powerful machine with a powerful NLP processor and looking for some magic to be done. Go & Grab the machine. The 2 in 1 flip feature gives you the feel of a tablet more than a laptop. Finger print and pen is lacking but instead it this is a prefect powerhouse for you. Go n get it now.

Its a great laptop overall if you are looking for a balance between workhorse & day-to-day work. Pro: Sturdy, Good Premium feel, nice screen 120hz, performance, RAM, Processor, GPU 16GB, NPU Cons: (as few have mentioned before me) - little on heavier side not much but for my purpose it is on little heavier side even though it 16", no pen included, speaker sounds OK not great and not up facing and grill is kind of misleading to give impression of speaker mess, the other important thing is - a] keyboard design flaw - delete button is too close to power button and often gets pressed.... power button can be on chassis instead part of keyboard b] should have a fingerprint enabled.. HP could have achieved all this above on $1599 price tag... for these reason maker 4 star. If you get this laptop in the deal range of new $900 worth a deal for a college student, general purposes... off course it can play casual games just like that but I would not prefer.

This Omnibook is really excellent, a great all-rounder! If you can get it on sale, it has tremendous value. Pros: great performance with core ultra 9 (when competitors have Ultra 7), 32gb ram, 2TB SSE. It is ready for any office workloads and even some light gaming or video editing. The keyboard is quite nice to type on and the large keys look modern and area easy to read. FaceID with presence detection works very very well, and the webcam is good and has a physical privacy shutter. The laptop is silent under most loads, running cool and quiet, and even under load is still pretty quiet. Plenty of ports, including both USB-C and USB-A (although no sd card reader). Trackpad is mechanical, and just fine altough not the best. Build quality is quite good, and the chassis feels very robust. The 3k OLED screen is the star of the show, and it looks amazing. Battery life is very good. Cons - not many. Speakers are clear for voice, but lack any bass, and laptop is a bit heavy (although decidedly not the heaviest in its class). Other than that, it is very good purchse.

The OmniBook X Flip 16” is a powerful AI integrated laptop with high performing components that enhance daily activities and provide a large intuitive canvas for creative work. Its large 3K OLED display allows easy multitasking between several windows and provides a great display to watch movies or play games on, with the 2-in-1 feature offering various methods of making the most of it. *Build* The outer shell of the laptop has a velvety smooth pleasing feel to the touch. The keyboard has large backlit keys and includes an emoji shortcut button on F2. The trackpad is also large and very responsive to work with. There are mesh bars on both sides of the keyboard that I thought were speakers or fans but seem to be neither. I am unsure of their purpose but worry about having to clean dust that gets stuck in the little holes. The included ports are: 2 USB-A, 2 USB-C, an HDMI, and an audio jack. It weights just over 4lbs, which is heftier than I am used to with my other laptops. The 2-in-1 capability works perfectly, the laptops will stay put at whichever angle it is set at, regardless of how obtuse or acute, plus can be used fully as a tablet. While the touchscreen is smooth and responsive. *Display* This laptop provides a beautiful display with vibrant colors through its 3K OLED screen. It is perfect for streaming, gaming, and creative work. The beautiful picture paired with Intel Core Ultra 9 S2 and Intel Arc 140V really make this a powerful laptop to work with. *AI* The features on this laptop are further enhanced by the plethora of AI features integrated that help streamline workflow. From AI Copilot to sound and image AI enhancement, this laptop has so many ways in which it helps make life easier. It includes presence sensing, which dims when I look away, brightens when I look at it, and goes to sleep when I walk away. It is supposed to turn on when I return and tell me when others look at my screen, but those features have not responded with me. I can also edit photos with AI to remove or replace backgrounds using included apps. *Speakers* The speakers are impressive. They provide crisp, clear sound with no distortion even with maxed out volume. They are located along the front edge of the laptop, so placement of the laptop can either bring out or muffle the sound. *Webcam* The webcam is what you would expect from 5MP. It is suitable enough for video calls. What’s great about it is it works with HP Enhanced lightning which provides customizable lighting to light up your face when using it. It has variations on the shape and size of the lighting, brightness, and temperature. It is a great way to enhance appearance without the use of filters and removes the need to use external lighting to attend meetings. *Battery Life* The batter life can go up to 18.5 hours, but so far with my amount of use it lasts me just over a day’s worth of use, so around 10 hours. This is with several features in use in the background, like presence sensing and Recall. *Conclusion* Not only is this laptop able to multi-task with ease, but it is also at the cutting edge of AI integration, bridging the old Windows apps with the new to save time and streamline tasks. The laptop is well-constructed, high quality, and is great for work, leisure, school, and creativity. It has enough memory and RAM for the average user coupled with powerful components. It is a great laptop for its price point, and I highly recommend it.

This HP-OmniBook X Flip is so close to being a phenomenal laptop, but has several challenges for me when it comes to using it. First and foremost, the initial set up was a headache! It took an hour to get it fully ready to go, over an hour of Windows, HP, Bios, firmware, and hardware updates. Very annoying when you are ready to start working with a new laptop and want to get some work done.) The keys on the keyboard are the largest I personally have ever seen on a laptop, and are a challenge to use with my smaller hands. I know you can get a USB keyboard, but it's a laptop and having a nice keyboard is helpful on the actual device. (I also prefer a 10 key numeric pad on my computer, as that is helpful when doing spreadsheets.) After finally getting it set up and set to my preferred settings | had spent around 2 hours, which is way too much for a new computer set up in this day and age. The screen resolution on the HP-OmniBook X Flip is beautiful! I love the fact that I can flip the OmniBook and watch movies or TV shows when it is in the tablet mode. The 16” display is perfect when I have multiple windows open and gives me plenty of viewing area to multitask. The onboard speakers are clear and sound great if you’re watching videos or doing a small presentation for work. The OmniBook is whip fast and can keep up with my MineCraft playing😀, data entry doing, photo editing, tv watching on the go with no issues at all. You have options for peripherals for the computer with two USB-A, one HDMI, one USB-C, one Thunderbolt port, and a headphone jack. Overall this is a powerful sturdy and beautiful laptop once you get all the updates and customization done. I do enjoy using it and am happy to have it in my arsenal of tech.

I couldn’t be more impressed! From the moment I powered it on, the performance has been incredibly fast and responsive. Multitasking, streaming, and creative work all run effortlessly, even with multiple apps open. The design is sleek and premium. The Eclipse Gray finish gives it a modern, professional look, and the 360° flip feature adds real versatility—great for switching between laptop and tablet modes. The keyboard is comfortable and quiet, and battery life has been solid so far, lasting me through a full day of use.

This is an excellent machine, fast and look at the specs, just top of the line laptop to me. Setup is easy and fast. 4 stars because of BestBuy's policy. I purchased the laptop on a Friday for $1149 ($380 off) and 4 days later on Tuesday, the laptop was on sale for $999. BestBuy has a price match guarantee, which means, if BB lowers the price, they would match. So, I went online into the chat, but they could not do it, since I already purchased it at a discount. They even advised to order new for the lower price and return the one I already purchased. So, that what I did. I think that is not cool, had to do the setup again, which isn't a big deal, did factory restore on the other one and will return the first bought laptop this weekend. I think is just a waste on BestBuy part, they now have to sell an open box for a much lower price. But it seems that is their business model

This computer meets expectations. Should provide reliabity for years to come. Cons, if you eant to call them that. A little noise on start up. Speakers wont rock the house. Still has 6e WiFi. But hey, if you can read you would know that before buying. Pros: everythings as listed 32g 2 Tb Oled etc. Battery life also not too bad. I bought it on sale. For under 1k, you can not beat what you get.

This HP OmniBook X Flip has been amazing so far. The OLED screen is gorgeous — bright, sharp, and makes everything look great. It’s super fast too; apps open instantly and multitasking is effortless. The build feels premium, and I really like how smooth the hinge is when flipping it into tablet mode. Battery life easily lasts me through the day, and it runs quiet even under load. Overall, it’s a perfect mix of performance, style, and versatility. Totally worth it!

Excellent performance, great specs for the price. It's tough to find an OLED laptop with a decent CPU, Ram, storage combination for a reasonable price nowadays, and after a couple months of searching, I always ended up with HP as one of my final contenders for a new laptop. And this was it. It's speedy for everyday tasks, video entertainment. I can play some lighter games on it, and the battery lasts a reasonable 6-ish hours at middle brightness and sound doing mixed browsing, streaming, and some work. The real issue I have with this laptop is the keyboard. I wish the keys were spaced out a bit more. Response and actuation are good enough for a laptop keyboard, it's just that I am still misspressing keys due to the tightness of the layout. Small issue but it is noticeable during normal use. Anyway, personally I think the star of the show here is the display. The OLED is gorgeous and colors and black levels are incredible. It makes for great movie watching. The 2-in-1 flip feature has also been very useful when I need to prop this up like a tablet display. This laptop is one of the all-time general purpose greats. Highly recommended.

This is a great option if you’re looking for a fast and reliable laptop!! The OLED display is rich in color and has excellent contrast. I Love how it intergates with my other windows devices with device sync. I recommend getting a wireless mouse but i have no complaints about this excellent device! Perfect for everyday users and for students on all levels with 32GB of ram multitasking is easy, smooth and efficient and 2 TB of SSD you will never need an external hard drive or storage device!

This laptop does everything I need it to do. I use it for home and at work both. I decided on the OmniBook X because I thought the Intel Core Ultra 9 32GB/2TB for Less than $1,000 was a good value that would perform well for several years. It also feels like it's made well. Nothing feels "cheap" about it to me. I don't find it to be too heavy. If anything, it feels sturdy enough to make the daily commute without fear of cracking the screen or casing by handling it wrong. The hinge feels very durable and stiff (in a good way). I haven't used this for gaming at all. However, it seems very smooth for streaming and Zoom meetings. I don't think I have gotten 18 hours out of the battery but I'm sure Zoom draws a lot of power. I can't compare it to my old laptop because that was so old I usually just left it plugged in. The keyboard is a little awkward for me personally. This is probably because I am used to a keyboard with a number pad on the right. I didn't take any stars off the overall rating for either of these because I believe these are user specific.

This laptop is just what I needed. It's lightweight, the battery life is perfect, the screen is clear and the touchscreen features are exceptional. I would recommend this laptop to anyone who is looking to purchase a computer because of its reliability and speed. I do not regret this purchase at all.
