Customer Ratings & Reviews

As expected, pretty smooth and fast only downside is it's a little heavy to use as a tablet

Finally i bought this. This one is an excellent machine. So far I think this could be fine to buy later on i realize there's a great purchase on this Black Friday. I feel good with my new laptop. Value for money. Note: ( You can feel your touchpad and keyboard. New experience added from HP. Also, Touch screen quality is so good I think if someone looking for 2 in 1 Laptop you can consider this. It's quite good. Overall experience is awesome

I love my omnibook it’s just the best budget laptop too buy

It's an excellent computer, it meets all my needs, I highly recommend it and I'm very happy with my purchase.

Joe was incredible! Bought HP Omni x-flip that day! Great customer service!

Absolutely loved the experience. Thoughtful details, genuine care, and consistent quality made it special. Everything felt smooth, warm, and reliable from start to finish. It exceeded expectations without trying too hard. I would happily return and recommend it to anyone seeking value, trust, and a memorable experience every single time.

This is a gorgeous, well-built, premium laptop that performs extremely well thanks to its high-end configurations and has a stunning OLED display. Omnibook X is HP’s branding for premium Consumer laptops (Elite for business). With everything nearly perfect, I fail to understand why HP chose to skip fingerprint reader (although it has a face unlock) on a premium laptop. More on this later. Build Quality --------------------- The dark grey color gives an elegant look to this laptop and the aluminum build gives a premium feel and better durability. With a high quality hinge, this can be used in 4 modes - laptop, tent, stand and Tab mode. At around 4.15 lbs (1.88 kg) this is lightweight for a 16 inch laptop. It does not feel heavy to carry around and perfectly manageable. Configuration ------------------------ With Intel Core Ultra 9 288 V processor, 32GB RAM and 2 TB SSD, this is a high-end configuration laptop. Performance is fast and smooth even with a lot of apps running. Intel Arc 140V although an entry level graphic card and had no issues playing games like Formula1. This laptop excels in terms of performance. Display ------------------- This is the key highlight of this laptop. The 3K OLED display produces stunning display with amazing clarity. The 16 inch screen size is perfect. And with 500 nits this can go plenty bright. I often use it at 60% indoors. The 120 Hz refresh rate also contributes to the smooth experience. Although I have to mention that the screen is too reflective and I had some inconvenience using it with a window behind me, even with blinds closed. Battery ---------------- Battery easily lasts around 8 hours with continuous use. With the included 65 watt charger, it charges with a decent speed of around 50% in an hour. It went from 20 to 100% in about 2 hours. Keypad -------------- HP went with zero lattice keypad. Although it’s a personal preference, for me it’s really comfortable. The larger size keys helps with minimal mistakes during eyes off typing. The backlit option is super useful making it really comfortable to use in dark. The trackpad is also good to use. Ports ------------ The laptop comes with ample ports (rare of laptops lately) – 2 USB Type-A ports with 10 Gbps speed. 2 USB ports, one of which is a thunderbolt 4 and the other with 10Gbps both of which supports charging. A HDMI 2.1 port and a 3.5mm jack completes the ports. Only qualm is both the USB-C charging ports are on the same side. Although I can understand why, but having them on either sides would have been a great convenience to the users and I believe it’s not much to expect that in a premium segment laptop. Speakers and Webcam ---------------------------------- The laptop has dual speakers with DTS:X spatial sound. It produces decent sound. Although the speakers are placed along the edges, it has a deceiving mesh grills on either side of the keypad. I wish it really had an up-facing speaker underneath the mesh grills which could have elevated the sound. Anyway, with a headphone it’s never a problem. It has a 5 MP webcam and the video is decent. It has a privacy shutter (but without fingerprint, it’s practically useless). The WiFi 6 offers a stable connectivity. Missing Fingerprint Reader -------------------------------------- One thing that I miss the most is the fingerprint reader. Although this has the face unlock, it’s not a substitute for a fingerprint reader. Face unlock doesn’t work in dark conditions making it really inconvenient. Also, for face unlock to work laptop needs to be straight in front at a particular distance. For someone who works on multiple laptops, it becomes extremely inconvenient to move around looking at the camera. Also, unlocking from a standing position is also inconvenient having to bend and look at the camera every time. With face unlock being the only type-free option, it has made the camera privacy shutter almost useless. I had to turn-off the “lock when move away” feature due to the lack of fingerprint. I really hope HP considers this feedback for its future products. Another good addition would have been a HP Pen, which unfortunately is not included. Conclusion ----------------- Overall it’s an excellent laptop. Pre-loaded with Windows 11 Home edition with Co Pilot features (AI) with latest processor, 32GB RAM and 2 TB SSD storage space, especially when bought with a discount, it’s an absolute steal. However, I believe HP could have made it even more appealing without cutting a few corners with fingerprint reader, pen, speakers and charging port placement. In spite of the minor shortcomings, this laptop is worth the buy.

Best laptop with smooth performance worth the price

I've always owned tablets before I bought this laptop. I bought it because I could use it either way (tablet or laptop) The screen size and vivid colors and the speakers are excellent. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to upgrade to a laptop from a tablet

I work at home and on the road, so I am always seeking great portable machines. I have an HP Omnibook Flip 14 inch which is great on the road. However, sometimes at home I am away from my desk with its bank of large monitors and need something a little larger. This OmniBook 16” monitor fills that need! Amazing how much more screen space with a 16 vs a 14, but it can make a difference. Much easier to flip between windows in different programs without fumbling around. So, that’s my need for this laptop! Now, onto the computer itself. As always, HP rolls out sleek machines that power up effortlessly right out of the box. The laptop was delivered to my house and securely packaged, so no worries there. Set up was a snap using my login and then letting the computer update itself while I continued working on other projects. First, the physical. The keyboard is very nice with ssquare keys with a short throw. The copilot key is on the lower right side. The touch pad is large and easy to use. There are speakers on the ‘bottom’ and on the keyboard side of the laptop. There are no speakers on the screen half. On the right side you will find a USB-A and an audio plug in. On the left side are an HDMI, USB-A, thunderbolt USB-C and USB-C. So, lots to plug in! The charging is by USB-A. On the bottom, they have hard rubber insets to slow down sliding. And the hinges! They are smooth and stay in position when you flip or stand the computer in a tent fashion. Finally, the computer easily attaches to my workstation and all of the peripherals work. Now for the computing parts. Wow. 32GB ram, Core 9 processor, make this machine work fast. The specs claim the battery will last all day, so I tried that out and used the laptop unplugged for a day and a half (did not work constantly). Work included standard office products, streaming video and web surfing. This makes me super excited because it means I can go where there is no electricity and work. This often happens when on the road in conference centers—no more charging the laptop in a plug on a random wall! And with 2TB of SSD storage, I can take my work out of the cloud when on the road so it’s always handy when wifi is sketchy. The screen is fabulous. It really is responsive and vivid, giving you an excellent experience for video playback and video conferencing. The camera is tiny, with a slide privacy screen, but it really delivers when video conferencing. I find it exceeds the ‘studio quality’ separate camera in my office. Now for Copilot… I am fairly new to AI and copilot button makes it easy to start digging in. I was able to create some graphics and advertisements, as well as compile ideas on creating an annual calendar for my ranch to include all maintenance, animal husbandry and financial affairs. I hope to expand into genetic selection and animal output analysis as that has a major impact on my ranch. Overall, I give this computer five stars for performance, style and ease of use. I can strongly recommend this computer to anyone who wants to have plenty of computing power in a trim package.

More versatile and faster than the old dinosaur laptop.

Laptop is excellent but the built quality is little weak

As an aspiring engineer, this laptop is perfect so far . Great at multitasking , great performance and the Oled screen at 120 is just beautiful.

Looks nice. Big keys. But NO number pad on the side. Co-pilot is nioce. Helpful, but needs some tweaking in upgrades. I keep getting cut off when speaking. Function keys are helpful. Like it that I can flip it and detach the screen. Like the touch screen, but don't find it as needed. Overall I like it,

This laptop isn’t only 2in1, it is all in 1! I am a college student and an entrepreneur. Love the over all quality and functionality of this unit. Best for students and entrepreneurs.

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’ve been using the HP OmniBook X Flip (16-inch) for a while now, and overall it’s an impressive, premium 2-in-1 laptop that balances performance, design, and versatility extremely well. It feels like a device built for both productivity and long-term use. What I Loved ✅ Stunning Display The 16-inch 3K OLED touchscreen is absolutely gorgeous. Colors are vibrant, blacks are deep, and text looks incredibly sharp. It’s a joy to use for work, media consumption, and even casual creative tasks. Touch screen is smooth and responsive, making tablet and tent modes genuinely useful. ✅ Top-Tier Performance Powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 processor with 32GB RAM, this laptop handles everything I throw at it—heavy multitasking, development work, and even light video editing—without any lag. It feels fast, responsive, and future-proof. ✅ Excellent Build Quality & Design The chassis feels solid and premium with a clean, professional look. ✅ Connectivity & Storage With 2TB SSD storage, I never worry about space. Thunderbolt/USB-C ports, USB-A, and HDMI provide excellent flexibility for external displays and peripherals. Wi-Fi performance has been rock solid. ✅ Battery Life (For the Power It Packs) Considering the OLED display and high-performance internals, battery life is respectable. Areas for Improvement ⚠️ Size & Weight At 16 inches, it’s not the most portable 2-in-1. It’s perfect for desk use or home office setups, but frequent travelers might find it a bit bulky compared to smaller ultrabooks. ⚠️ Keyboard Keyboard design is unique. Some people may like and some may not. ⚠️ Fingerprint Magnet The finish looks great but does tend to attract fingerprints, requiring occasional cleaning to keep it looking pristine. Final Verdict The HP OmniBook X Flip is an outstanding premium 2-in-1 laptop that excels in performance, display quality, and build. It’s ideal for professionals, power users, and anyone who wants a large, beautiful screen with the flexibility of a convertible design.

I purchased the HP Omni with Intel Core Ultra 9, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD, and touchscreen during the Black Friday sale for $999, and it has been an outstanding value for the price. The performance is excellent. The Intel Core Ultra 9 handles heavy multitasking, development work, and demanding applications without any issues. With 32GB RAM, everything runs smoothly even with multiple apps open, and the 2TB SSD offers fast boot times and more than enough storage. The touchscreen display is sharp, responsive, and vibrant, making it great for both productivity and media consumption. The laptop feels premium, has a sleek design, and the keyboard is comfortable for long working hours. Battery life is reasonable for a high-performance machine, and thermals are well managed during intensive use. Pros: • Powerful Intel Core Ultra 9 performance • 32GB RAM for smooth multitasking • Fast and spacious 2TB SSD • Responsive touchscreen display • Excellent value at $999 Cons: • Slightly heavy • Full price may feel expensive Overall, getting this configuration for $999 is an absolute steal. I highly recommend the HP Omni for professionals and power users looking for premium performance at a great price.
