Tom's Hardware reviewed the HP OmniBook X Flip 14, a 14‑inch convertible laptop with a metal chassis, priced at $1,399.99 for a base configuration and $2,599.99 for the test unit.

Key specifications include dimensions of 12.32 × 8.6 × 0.57 inches, a weight of 3.09 lb, two USB4 ports, one USB‑A (10 Gbps), HDMI 2.1, a 3.5 mm audio jack, Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, a 65 W USB‑C power adapter, and a 59 Wh battery that can be upgraded to 70 Wh when paired with the 2880 × 1800 OLED display.

The unit tested featured a Ryzen AI 9 465 processor, 32 GB LPDDR5X‑8533 RAM, a 2 TB Samsung PCIe Gen 4 SSD, and a 1920 × 1200 OLED panel.

In Geekbench 5 multi‑core testing, the configuration achieved a score of 13,734; Handbrake 4K‑to‑1080p video transcoding took 4 minutes 56 seconds; a 25 GB file transfer averaged 1,477.3 MBps; and Cinebench 2026 scores ranged from 3,070 to 3,306 points across ten iterations, with an average CPU frequency of 2.79 GHz.

Graphics performance in 3DMark Steel Nomad showed the integrated Radeon 880M outperforming Intel graphics in the Yoga Slim 7i but lagging behind dedicated GPUs in the Yoga Slim 7x, MacBook Pro, and Dell XPS 14.

The 1920 × 1200 OLED panel was rated at 300 nits by HP and measured 266 nits in testing; an optional 2880 × 1800 OLED option offers 500 nits SDR, 1,100 nits HDR and a 120 Hz refresh rate for an additional $80.

The keyboard provides sufficient travel for extended typing, with a MonkeyType speed of 120 wpm and perfect accuracy; the touchpad is mechanical with a matte surface and consistent click feel; the layout lacks dedicated home, end, page up, and page down keys, and the F1 function key also serves as a volume‑mute toggle with an orange LED indicator.

Audio output from the dual speakers is balanced with audible bass, suitable for movie playback in a quiet room; DTS Headphone:X support is included, and equalizer settings are available through the HP app.

Upgradeability includes the M.2 2280 SSD and M.2 2230 wireless card, both accessible after removing the bottom panel secured by four Philips‑head screws of varying sizes; the battery is user‑replaceable, while memory is not upgradeable.

Battery endurance measured 14 hours 53 minutes in a mixed‑use test involving web browsing, OpenGL rendering, and video streaming at 150 nits; this exceeds the Dell XPS 14 runtime of 12 hours 23 minutes but falls short of the Yoga Slim 7i (16 hours 38 minutes) and the MacBook Pro (18 hours 14 minutes). Configurable models with the higher‑resolution display ship with a 70 Wh battery.

Thermal testing recorded surface temperatures up to 113 °F on the underside during a 10‑loop Cinebench 2026 stress test, with the Ryzen AI 9 465 averaging 69 °C; fan noise remained unobtrusive for typical use.

The 1080p IR webcam delivers balanced exposure in mixed lighting, includes a physical privacy shutter, and captures detail sufficient to read text at a distance of approximately 12 feet.

Software includes the HP app for system updates and diagnostics, the Omni+ app for password management, HP Smart for printer connectivity, HP TV+ for streaming aggregation, and a trial of McAfee; a one‑year warranty covers the device.

Base configurations start at $1,399.99 with a Ryzen AI 5 430, Radeon 840M, 2K IPS display, 16 GB RAM, and 512 GB SSD; higher‑spec models such as the reviewed unit combine the Ryzen AI 9 465, Radeon 880M, 1920 × 1200 OLED panel, 32 GB RAM, and 2 TB SSD. An Intel Core Ultra variant is also offered at similar price points. The value proposition is constrained by the high price relative to performance and display brightness compared with competing models such as the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i and Dell XPS 14, though the 2‑in‑1 convertible form factor may appeal to users prioritizing flexibility.
