HP OmniBook X Flip OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1 16" 2K Touch-Screen Meteor Silver 2025 Review

A budget Copilot+ PC that's all about the specs sheet, not the experience. Fantastic ports and tons of RAM, but let down by a mediocre screen and weak graphics. A solid deal if you know what you're getting.

The HP OmniBook X Flip is a solid AI PC that's trying to do a bit of everything, but its biggest selling point is the price. For around $1050, you're getting a Copilot+ certified laptop with a decent AMD Ryzen AI chip, a massive 24GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. That's a lot of hardware for the money. The catch? It's a jack-of-all-trades that doesn't really master any of them. It's not a gaming machine, and the screen is just okay, but for general productivity and AI tasks, it's a surprisingly capable package.

The performance story is all about balance. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 CPU lands in the 70th percentile, which is perfectly fine for office work, web browsing, and light creative tasks. The real surprise is the RAM. With 24GB, you're in the 89th percentile, and that means you can have a hundred Chrome tabs open and not feel a thing. The integrated Radeon 860M GPU is the weak link, sitting at the 58th percentile. It'll handle video playback and very light gaming, but our database shows a gaming score of just 18 out of 100. Don't buy this to play anything modern.

For $1050, this is a good value if your needs align. You're paying for future-proof RAM and AI capabilities, not premium build or a stunning screen. It's worth it if you want a capable, port-heavy AI laptop on a budget. It's not worth it if you care about display quality or plan to do anything graphics-intensive.

This sits in a weird spot. Compared to the ASUS ProArt PX13, you're giving up the gorgeous OLED screen and the RTX 4050 GPU for a much lower price and more RAM. The ProArt is for creators; this is for budget-conscious power users. Against a Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, there's no contest for gaming—the Legion destroys it. But the OmniBook is thinner, has a touchscreen, and costs half as much. Your choice is simple: need raw power or a great screen? Look at the ASUS or Lenovo. Need a cheap AI workhorse with lots of ports? This is it.

Skip this if you're a gamer or a creative pro. The GPU and screen aren't good enough. Go get a Lenovo Legion or that ASUS ProArt instead. Also skip it if you want a super portable 2-in-1; at 1.9kg, it's on the heavier side. Look at a Microsoft Surface for that.

We recommend the HP OmniBook X Flip for students, office workers, or anyone who needs a capable Windows laptop with lots of multitasking headroom and doesn't want to spend a fortune. It's a smart buy for its specific niche. We do not recommend it for gamers, video editors, photographers, or anyone who prioritizes screen quality. For them, the compromises are too big.
