HP OmniBook Ultra Flip

This is one of HP’s best laptops in recent years

- 

The OmniBook HP family has been around since the '90s. But there's a good chance almost none of you have actually used one. It gave us the first laptop with Windows pre-installed, way back when. But it has only recently come back into the spotlight, thanks to the arrival of Al-driven chipsets that also let a laptop last an awfully long time between charges.

Despite that sense of revolution in the air, the HP OmniBook Ultra Flip is a pretty no-nonsense design at first glance. It's slim, it's light, and it's not too loud - visually speaking.

The casing is all-metal, predominantly recycled aluminium, and the screen has a Gorilla Glass 5 top layer. There's not a hint of compromise here - the panels are as stiff as they come.
