Reviews for the HP OmniBook X Flip 16
Not to be confused with the similar Envy x360 16, the OmniBook X Flip 16 features the newer Intel Core Ultra 7 Lunar Lake processor for better gaming and multimedia performance than any other 16-inch convertible powered by integrated graphics.

HP is currently on a hot streak with its releases, and I hope it continues into the foreseeable future. Normally, prices for this laptop are regularly priced around $1,200. My particular build is currently on sale for $899 at HP's website. A variant of the HP OmniBook X Flip 16 housing a 2TB SSD is available at Best Buy for $1,350. If you want a computer with a great display that doesn't turn into a tablet, I strongly suggest the Asus Vivobook S 15. It boasts similar performance and hardware with a gorgeous 3K OLED screen.

The HP OmniBook X Flip 16 is a bit hit and a bit miss, almost in equal measure. On the one hand, it feels well built and has a nice, albeit plain look to it. It has a big, gorgeous display as well. But it also makes confusing choices like having huge grilles that do almost nothing. Its keyboard prioritizes form over function. And a 16-inch tablet over four pounds probably won’t be practical for most people, especially without reliable palm rejection. Then there’s the performance. It simply doesn’t take full advantage of the hardware, in many cases getting outperformed by lower-tier hardware. Perhaps it would have worked better had HP used all of its grilles to get more airflow and heat dissipation. But it didn’t. And in spite of that, the OmniBook X Flip 16 is on the expensive side.

Intel Arc 140V: A pretty fast integrated graphics adapter that higher-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 8; it can drive three SUHD 4320p monitors simultaneously via HDMI 2.1, eDP 1.5 and DP 2.1. With the 140V, all 2023 and 2024 games are playable at 1080p on low graphics settings.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
