Verdict — One Of The Best 16-inch Convertibles For $1000
The OmniBook X Flip 16 has more in common with the flagship Spectre series than it does with the less expensive Pavilion series. Its smooth metal design, OLED touchscreen, and modern Lunar Lake processor balance portability and practicality extremely well especially when compared to the competing Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 which feels cheaper in comparison. Its form factor and OLED colors are suitable for all kinds of environments ranging from home multimedia to editing-on-the-go — true to the "omni" moniker.
Some users may not appreciate how different the keyboard feels when compared to most other HP laptops and so the typing experience can take some getting used to. Additionally, raw performance will be slower than many 16-inch clamshells like HP's own Envy 16 which typically come with H-series processors and discrete graphics. Power users may want to consider the Spectre x360 16 series for additional editing and gaming horsepower. For everyone else, the OmniBook X Flip 16 is one of the best and most versatile 16-inch convertibles in the low $1000 range.
Pros
Cons
Price and Availability
Amazon is currently shipping the OmniBook X Flip 16 for $1300 as configured on our Core Ultra 7 258V review unit. Alternatively, users can purchase directly from HP for only $950 when on sale.
The HP OmniBook X Flip 16 is a prosumer 16-inch convertible sitting just below the Spectre x360 16 series in terms of price and features. Our test unit is a higher-end configuration with the Core Ultra 7 258V Lunar Lake Intel CPU and 3K 120 Hz OLED touchscreen for approximately $1300 or just under $1000 when on sale.
An AMD variant of the model is also available with the Ryzen AI 5 340 and lower resolution 1200p touchscreen for around $700. However, all Intel configurations at the moment come with the 1800p 120 Hz OLED touchscreen.
Competitors in this space include other prosumer 16-inch convertibles like the Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 16, Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360, or Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1.

Specifications
Case — Sleeker Than A Dell
The unicolor matte metal design feels stronger and more luxurious than the similarly priced Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1. It still flexes a bit more than the pricier Spectre x360 16 while users who are willing to spend hundreds of dollars more will find the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 to be a noticeably lighter alternative.
Connectivity
The HP includes all ports found on the Dell Plus 16 2-in-1 plus an additional USB-A port along the left edge. Note that only one of the two USB-C ports supports Thunderbolt 4 and DisplayPort 2.1 while the other USB-C port is only 10 Gbps with DisplayPort 1.4.
Communication
Webcam
The 5 MP webcam comes standard with IR and a physical shutter.

Sustainability
HP incorporates various amounts of recycled and renewable metals and plastics into the manufacturing of the OmniBook X Flip 16.
Accessories And Warranty
The retail box includes an active stylus pen (TPA-M005P) in addition to the usual paperwork and USB-C AC adapter. The standard one-year limited manufacturer warranty applies if purchased in the US.
Input Devices
Keyboard
The zero-lattice keyboard is a change from the current Spectre series, EliteBook series, and previous generation Envy series. Though the keycaps are larger, feedback is unfortunately both lighter and shallower than on the more traditional keyboards on most other HP laptops.
Touchpad
The clickpad is roughly the same size as on the Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 (13.5 x 8.7 cm vs. 13.3 x 9 cm). Clicking is easier as it requires less force than on the Dell convertible, but feedback is on the spongy side.
Display — 3K 120 Hz OLED
The OmniBook X Flip 16 uses a similar 1800p 120 Hz Samsung OLED touchscreen as found on the Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 or HP Spectre x360 16. It offers a higher native resolution than the Mini-LED or IPS panels on the Dell Plus 16 2-in-1 or MSI Summit A16 AI Plus. Maximum brightness reaches 561 nits if on HDR mode to support HDR500, but it is otherwise limited to 381 nits if on SDR mode.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM detected | 473.8 Hz Amplitude: 15 % | ≤ 100 % brightness setting | |
The display backlight flickers at 473.8 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 473.8 Hz is relatively high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. However, there are reports that some users are still sensitive to PWM at 500 Hz and above, so be aware. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8350 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. |

GPU Performance
The Arc Graphics 140V is a notable improvement over the last generation Iris Xe series while being roughly 15 percent faster than the lesser Arc 130V configuration. It's still no match for the discrete Nvidia GPU in the HP Spectre x360 16, however.
Running on battery power reduces performance by as much as 20 percent.

System Noise
Fan noise generally hovers around 28.6 dB(A) against a silent background of 27.5 dB(A) when browsing the web or streaming video. It would reach its maximum of just under 38 dB(A) rather quickly when higher loads like games are introduced.

Energy Management
Power Consumption
Intel Lunar Lake is extremely efficient and this remains true on the HP. When running Cyberpunk 2077, for example, the OmniBook X Flip 16 would demand less power than on the AMD-powered MSI Summit A16 AI Plus while offering consistently faster frame rates. Raw processor performance is still no match for the Ryzen AI 9 365, however.
We're able to record a temporary maximum draw of 65 W from the small (~6.8 x 2.2 x 5.4 cm) 65 W USB-C AC adapter when the CPU is at 100 percent utilization.
