HP Omnibook X Flip (14-fk0004na) is a machine that wants to be your everything. It’s a laptop, a tablet, a sketchpad, a streaming screen, and a productivity partner. HP has revived the Omnibook name, a brand that once meant cutting-edge portability, and that feels like a statement of intent.

HP were aiming machine that looks good, feels premium, and has the productivity chops to back it all up.
Compact Computation
At 313 x 218.5 x 14.6 mm and weighing 1.38 kg, it is slim enough to slip into a bag without fuss, yet solid enough to feel like it will survive the daily grind. The aluminium chassis is cool to the touch, and the hinge is a triumph. It rotates smoothly through 360 degrees, with none of the wobble that plagues lesser convertibles.
You can set it up in tent mode for a film, fold it flat for sketching, or keep it in traditional laptop form for typing. It feels like a machine that has been engineered with care and purpose in design.
Centrepiece
The 14-inch IPS display is excellent. The 16:10 aspect ratio a nice balance between enjoyable media playback and a something to do some work on. HP Omnibook X Flip is as good for watching a film as it is for editing photos or scrolling through documents.
The touchscreen is responsive, and stylus support is there for those who want to draw or take notes. The stylus is not bundled, which is a shame, but the panel itself is so good that it elevates the whole device. This is the kind of screen that makes you want to use the machine more, just because it looks so good.
Capable Companion
Performance is solid. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 processor, paired with 16 GB of LPDDR5x memory and a 512 GB SSD, delivers snappy everyday performance. Boot times are quick, applications launch instantly, and multitasking feels effortless.
The integrated NPU, capable of up to 50 TOPS, enables AI features like transcription and smart search, which are genuinely useful rather than a marketing-friendly gimmick. For productivity, creative work short of heavy rendering, and general use, it is more than capable.

Battery life is rated at up to 14 hours and 15 minutes. In practice, you will get less, but it is still respectable. A full workday with some play is easily achievable. Fast charging helps, meaning you can top up quickly when needed. For most users, it will be enough, and the portability of the device means carrying a charger is no hardship.
The keyboard and touchpad are also well tuned for portable productivity. The keys have shallow travel, but they are accurate and fine for extended typing. The touchpad is responsive, though slightly smaller than ideal. In tablet mode, the touchscreen takes over, and stylus support adds versatility.
Well Connected
Connectivity is excellent. USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, and a headphone jack are all present. Wi-Fi 7 support ensures fast and reliable wireless connections. The inclusion of HDMI is particularly useful, making it easy to connect to external displays without adapters.
While it’s tempting to sacrifice ports for thinness, HP has struck a more functional balance.

The cooling system keeps the machine cool under light use, and while it warms up under heavy workloads, fan noise remains moderate. Heat is concentrated on the underside, which can make lap use less comfortable.
Omnibook X Flip is a well-rounded device, excelling in portability and connectivity while offering a superb display. Gaming performance is middling, but that is not the point. This is a machine for professionals, students, and creatives who value flexibility and design.
Old Pro Made New
HP Omnibook X Flip (14-fk0004na) is a machine that succeeds in delivering a premium and professional experience. It looks good, it feels good, and it performs well. The OLED display is superb, the design is sleek and professional, and the connectivity options are generous.
Performance is solid, battery life is respectable, and portability is excellent. It is not perfect, but it is a device that feels modern, capable, and genuinely enjoyable to use.

HP Omnibook X Flip is not a machine for gamers, nor for those who demand marathon battery life, but it is a machine for people who want a stylish, versatile, and capable companion.
The clarity of its panel, the smoothness of its hinge, the all-round competence of its processor are genuinely compelling reasons for the right type of PC user.
