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. For a 16-inch OLED 2-in-1 with an Intel Core Ultra 7 and dedicated Intel Arc graphics, that’s a pretty aggressive price. You’re getting Windows 11 Pro out of the box, so you don’t have to pay extra to upgrade later for features like BitLocker, Remote Desktop host, or joining a work domain. If you use this for work, freelancing, or school and need those Pro features, that alone can save you some money and hassle. Even if you don’t need them on day one, having Pro gives you more room to grow into it over time.
On the performance side, this thing is built for real work, not just web browsing and email. The Intel Core Ultra 7 256V chip with 8 cores and 8 threads is paired with an Intel Arc 140V GPU with 8 GB of VRAM and 16 GB of onboard memory. That combo is more than enough for heavy multitasking, big spreadsheets, coding, photo editing, light video work, or running lots of browser tabs and chat apps at once. The Intel integrated SoC design keeps things pretty compact and power friendly while still giving you the extra punch from the Arc graphics. If you’ve been trying to do creative work on an older laptop with only integrated graphics, you’ll feel a clear jump moving to something like this.
Storage is solid too. You get a 512 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, which is fast enough that boot times, app launches, and file transfers should feel quick and smooth. That size is a nice middle ground if you keep your big media files in cloud storage or on an external drive. If you know you keep everything local, HP does show 1 TB and 2 TB options on the spec sheet, so at least you know this line supports larger drives if you ever decide to upgrade. For most people who mainly keep documents, school work, and apps on the internal drive and stream media, 512 GB is going to be fine for a while.
The 16-inch display is one of the biggest reasons to look at this deal. You’re getting a 2K (1920 x 1200) OLED panel with UWVA, edge-to-edge glass, and micro-edge bezels, which means deep blacks, strong color, and more vertical space than a normal 1080p screen because of the 16:10 ratio. It’s rated at 300 nits with 100% DCI-P3 color, so if you care about color accuracy for photos, design, or just want movies and shows to look better, you’ll notice the difference from a basic LCD. The low blue light feature can help reduce eye strain if you stare at the screen for long hours. Since this is the “Flip” model, you also have the 2-in-1 form factor, so you can fold it back into tablet mode, tent mode for watching videos, or stand mode for presentations. If you want one machine that can handle work, media, and some creative tasks, and you like the idea of a big OLED touch-ready screen in a flexible body, getting all of that for $699.99 with $500 off is a pretty strong deal.
