HP Creator OmniBook X Flip x360 2 in 1 Touchscreen Laptop (16" 2025 Review

The HP OmniBook X Flip is a 2-in-1 that tries to do a bit of everything. It's got a 16-inch touchscreen, a discrete AMD GPU, and a big 1TB SSD, all for a price that looks pretty good on paper.

But you can feel the compromises. The screen's color coverage is just okay, and the Intel 1355U CPU lands in a lower percentile. It's built for multitasking and light creative work, not for setting speed records.

Performance is a mixed bag. The AMD Radeon 840 discrete GPU is a nice touch for light gaming or photo editing, scoring in the 54th percentile. The 16GB of DDR5 RAM and fast 1TB SSD are solid. The weak link is the Intel 1355U CPU, which sits in the 33rd percentile. It'll handle daily tasks fine, but don't expect it to blaze through heavy video encodes or complex simulations.

At around $850, the value proposition is clear. You're getting a large touchscreen 2-in-1, a discrete GPU, and a ton of storage. That's a lot of hardware for the money. You just have to accept the trade-offs, mainly the so-so CPU and the screen's limited color gamut. If those specific specs match your needs, it's a decent deal.

Stack it up against competitors and its role is clear. It's not a raw power machine like the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i or MSI Vector for gaming. It's more of a versatile workhorse. Compared to a sleek productivity machine like the ASUS Zenbook Duo, the OmniBook offers more graphics power and storage but is heavier and less portable. And against a MacBook Pro, you're getting Windows flexibility and touch for far less cash, but giving up a ton of performance and screen quality.

Buy this if you need a big-screen Windows 2-in-1 for general business use, light content creation, and media consumption, and you really value that 1TB SSD. Don't buy it if you need a color-accurate screen for pro photo/video work, a powerful CPU for heavy workloads, or a truly portable laptop. It's a specific tool for a specific user.
