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.

This is the sort of laptop you’ll buy to have around the house and do just about anything with. If you work from home it’s even better, easily keeping up with office work and 2D creative tasks. Being able to flip it into its various configurations to use as a media consumption device, or to draw with the stylus, just makes it more appealing. Its GPU is underpowered, and a version of this with a low-end Nvidia GPU in it would make a lot of people happy, but would also slash the battery life and increase the price even more. As it is, the OmniBook X Flip is a versatile machine with an excellent screen and battery life that goes on and on, and really that should be good enough.

I really do not know why the HP OmniBook X Flip 16 2-in-1 design hit me as it did. There is this subtle line on the bottom that sort of curves out and makes this laptop look really nice. The color of the laptop is also stunning, and while it does grab some fingerprints, it’s not as bad as some other laptops. It’s also lightweight for a 16″ laptop. The 3K OLED display on this unit is vibrant and punchy, with deep blacks, crisp whites, and an excellent brightness level. The Intel 258V paired with 32 GB of RAM is excellent and handles my video editing and photo editing with ease. The fans rarely kicked in on this unless I was rendering something heavy in 4K. The speakers are just okay; the soundstage is decent, but they do lack a bottom end. They do get the job done though. Battery life is outstanding, as expected with this 258V under the hood.

While the display is impressive and the battery life admirable, the OmniBook X Flip 16 is hamstrung by too many odd choices and disappointing features, making it difficult to recommend. It's also not exactly priced to entice, leaning into territory inhabited by more capable machines (many of which include discrete GPUs, with all the gaming and creative advantages that come with them). For the price of the OmniBook X Flip 16 I tested, if you're not getting a dedicated GPU, then you should rightly expect a better keyboard, touchpad, webcam and speakers. For significantly less than the Flip 16's price, you can grab an Acer Swift Go 16, which also includes a beautiful OLED panel and outperformed the Flip 16 on the majority of our benchmarks. While the Swift can't match the Flip 16 for battery life and doesn't offer two-in-one functionality, it makes for a much cheaper date if you want a big-screen OLED laptop for home use.

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.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Core Ultra 7 258V: An upper mid-range Lunar Lake family processor. It sports 4 new Skymont E-cores and 4 new Lion Cove P-cores running at up to 3.7 GHz and 4.8 GHz respectively, along with the new Arc 140V iGPU and 32 GB of on-package LPDDR5x-8533 RAM. It essentially matches the Core Ultra 7 165U and Core i7-1360P in multi-thread performance and it eats up to 37 W when under short-term workloads.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
