The HP OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1 Laptop Next Gen AI 16t-as00, 16″ is down to $699.99 right now, which is $500 off the regular price (41% off). For what you’re getting in this config, that’s a pretty strong deal, especially if you want a main laptop you can use for both work and personal stuff. You’re getting Windows 11 Pro out of the box, so you have the “work” version of Windows, not the basic Home edition. That helps if you connect to office networks, use remote desktop, or just like having more control over updates and security. At this price point, a lot of laptops only come with Windows 11 Home, so getting Pro here is a nice bonus.
On the hardware side, you’re looking at an Intel Core Ultra 7 256V chip, paired with Intel Arc 140V graphics and 16 GB of onboard memory. In normal words, that means you get a fast processor with a built-in GPU that can handle more than just web browsing and email. You should be fine with big spreadsheets, tons of Chrome tabs, light photo work, coding, some light gaming, and all the usual day-to-day stuff without the system slowing down all the time. The 16 GB of memory is also the sweet spot right now for a main machine; you’re not stuck at 8 GB, which can feel tight pretty fast. There is a higher spec with 32 GB and a slightly different Ultra 7 258V chip, but for $699.99, this current setup hits a good balance between power and price.
You get a 512 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD for storage in this config, which is pretty standard for a mid to upper midrange laptop right now. For most people, 512 GB gives enough room for Windows, a bunch of apps, Office, your browser, some games, and a decent number of photos and files before you need to clean things up. If you know you install giant games, work with video, or just hate deleting anything, the nice thing is that this line also has 1 TB and 2 TB options, so you know there are paths to more storage in the same family. The chipset is an Intel integrated SoC, which just means most of the main parts of the system are built into one package, giving you good speed and battery behavior without a bunch of separate chips inside the laptop.
The 16-inch display is one of the main reasons you might want this model. You get a 2K (1920 x 1200) OLED panel with low blue light, edge-to-edge glass, and 100% DCI-P3 color. If you’re not into tech terms, that means you get rich color, very nice contrast, and a taller screen than the old 1080p 16:9 format, which is good for reading and work. It will look good for movies and shows, and it will make regular work stuff like PDFs, Word docs, and web pages easier to see. There are also other screen options in the line, including multitouch and a 3K OLED model, so this series is built for people who care about the screen. Since this is the “Flip” 2-in-1, you can fold the screen back and use it in tablet mode or tent mode, which is handy for watching videos in bed, drawing with a pen, or just saving desk space. At $699.99 with a $500 discount, you’re getting a 16-inch 2K OLED, Windows 11 Pro, a current-gen Intel Ultra 7, Arc graphics, 16 GB memory, and a quick 512 GB SSD, which makes this deal worth a look if you want a solid 2-in-1 that can be your daily machine for the next few years.
