The Hindu
HP OmniBook X Flip successfully straddles the line between style and substance. With AI-assisted performance, a vibrant 3K OLED touch display, and a lightweight, flexible design, it’s an ideal choice for users who demand versatility
The current trend of light, ultra-portable laptops with powerful capabilities is gaining solid traction, and the HP OmniBook X Flip is HP’s latest contender in this exciting space. Powered by Intel’s Core Ultra 7 258V processor and tailored for AI-assisted workflows, this laptop is clearly built for modern users, be it creators, multitaskers, or digital nomads. With a starting price of ₹1,14,999, the OmniBook X Flip arrives as a flexible, premium device promising not just performance, but also intelligence. So, does it deliver?
The HP OmniBook X Flip impresses with its sleek and elegant “Atmospheric Blue” colourway. The sandblasted anodized finish not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but gives it a distinctive, cool quotient that feels just right for both professionals and creatives. At 1.38 kg, this device is surprisingly light for a convertible. It easily slides into your backpack, and even the compact 65W USB Type-C power adapter won’t weigh you down—ideal for those constantly on the move.
The build feels solid and durable thanks to premium materials and thoughtful engineering. With Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protecting the screen, accidental bumps or scratches are far less of a worry. HP hasn’t skimped on utility either—the 360° hinge offers clamshell, tent, tablet, and reverse modes, giving you a seamless transition between work and entertainment. The laptop is also EPEAT Gold certified and incorporates recycled plastics and metals, which adds an eco-conscious layer to its already versatile design.
Port selection is impressive, too. You get 2 USB-A ports, 1 HDMI 2.1, a 3.5mm headphone/mic combo jack, and 2 USB-C ports—one of which is Thunderbolt 4-enabled. This ensures faster transfers, versatile charging options, and multi-display support, all in a chassis that remains compact and travel-friendly.

The 14-inch OLED display is one of the clear standouts here. With a 3K resolution (2880 x 1800), variable refresh rate from 48–120 Hz, and support for HDR 500, this screen offers stunning clarity, vivid colour reproduction, and smooth visuals. Whether you’re colour grading videos or binge-watching your favourite show, it feels like a display designed to delight.
Touch functionality is integrated seamlessly. It’s responsive, fluid, and intuitive, making it perfect for users who want direct interaction, whether sketching with an optional stylus or navigating quickly through presentations. The 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut, combined with Eyesafe certification, ensures that your eyes won’t strain during extended sessions. All of this, covered with scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass, speaks to the laptop’s creative and mobile-first DNA.
