A touchscreen laptop that bends over backwards for you

Questions and answers

Is the HP OmniBook X Flip 16 good for schoolwork?

Yes. The 16-inch touchscreen, 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD cover note-taking, essays, research and video calls. The convertible hinge lets you use it as a tablet for handwritten notes if you add a stylus.

Is the 1920 x 1200 screen sharp enough at 16 inches?

It is usable but not sharp. At this size the pixel density is around 142 ppi, so text and fine detail look softer than on a 2.5K or 4K panel. Check one in person if sharp text matters to you.

How does it compare with a 14-inch 2-in-1?

You get a larger screen and more workspace, but it weighs more and is bulkier to carry. A 14-inch model is easier for daily commuting and holding in tablet mode.

Does it come with a stylus?

Typically no. HP usually sells the compatible pen separately, so budget for one if you plan to draw or take handwritten notes. Confirm the box contents with the seller.

What is in the box?

Expect the laptop and its power adapter, plus standard paperwork. A pen and a sleeve are usually not included.

When is the price likely to be lowest?

Convertible laptops usually drop during back-to-school season, Black Friday and end-of-quarter sales. Compare the current price against its price history before buying.
