HP OmniBook X Flip 14

HP OmniBook X Flip 14 HP continues to flip the rules on what to expect for around a grand, making this our top choice for 14in convertibles

- TIM DANTON

Whether you buy this 14in model or the OmniBook X Flip 16 opposite, the idea is much the same: a businesslike 2-in-1 convertible that's differentiated from rivals thanks to an OLED panel and aggressive price. This spec, which includes a 2,880 x 1,800 panel, is generally on sale for £1,099 inc VAT, even dropping to £899 on Black Friday - and that's a terrific deal bearing in mind the quality on offer. You even get a stylus thrown in.

The quality stems from the aluminium chassis, which HP proudly claims uses “20% post-consumer recycled plastics and recycled metals”. That’s backed up with EPEAT Gold with Climate+ certification, but what will matter to most users is that it feels solid and every aspect of the engineering is top notch - including the sturdy hinges, which mean the X Flip 14 swivels smoothly from laptop position to tablet (and tent mode in between).
