– The new OmniBook X Flip 16 uses Panther Lake-based CPUs (Intel Core Ultra 5/7/9 or AMD Ryzen AI variants) with 16–32 GB RAM options and PCIe Gen 4/5 SSDs depending on platform.
– All models include a 70 Wh battery, Wi‑Fi 7, and optional up to a 1800p OLED display (120 Hz, 100% DCI-P3, 500 nits SDR/1100 nits HDR).
– Price range starts at $1,499 (US) up to $2,709 (Intel top config); European pricing varies (UK €1,299–€2,299; Eurozone €1,798–€2,099 depending on config).
OmniBook X Flip 16: A Quick Intro
Almost five months have passed since HP presented a successor to the OmniBook X Flip 16 we reviewed in July 2025 (curr. $749 on Amazon). To recap, that model leveraged Intel’s Panther Lake platform. By contrast, this year’s successor moves the OmniBook X Flip 16 range onto newer Panther Lake-based alternatives. The description keeps it sharp, yet the pace of updates remains brisk, and readers must note pricing as it shifts with configurations and regional availability.
Processors and RAM Options
Specifically, the new 16-inch convertible can be configured with the Core Ultra 5 325, Core Ultra 7 355 and the Core Ultra 9 386H, which are joined by 16 GB, 24 GB or 32 GB of RAM. The same is true for new AMD variants, which combine these RAM configurations with the Ryzen AI 5 430, Ryzen AI 5 435, Ryzen AI 7 445, Ryzen AI 7 450 or the Ryzen AI 9 465. Different markets may see nuanced availability, but core choices spotlight a balance between power and memory capacity that enthusiasts will weigh against price points.
Finishes and Storage
For some reason, HP reserves Eclipse Grey and Meteor Silver finishes for its Intel and AMD variants, respectively. All versions can be purchased in an Atmospheric Blue finish, though. Also, while the OmniBook X Flip 16 can be optioned with 512 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB of storage, HP includes PCIe Gen 4 SSDs in AMD models and faster PCIe Gen 5 alternatives in Intel models. The mix of finishes and storage tiers is presented with a pragmatic approach, yet the choices might feel uneven across markets and lineups.
Battery, Display, and Connectivity
Meanwhile, all versions ship with a 70 Wh battery and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. Moreover, HP offers up to a 1800p (2.8K) OLED display with AMD or Intel processors. For reference, this display delivers a 120 Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 colour space coverage and 500 nits SDR/1,100 nits HDR brightness. The combination aims to satisfy both workhorse usability and media-erudite viewing preferences, though real-world brightness can vary with content and thermal limits.
Pricing Across Regions
Pricing starts at $1,499 in the US but can rise to $2,579 for AMD models and to $2,709 for their Intel counterparts. Meanwhile, the OmniBook X Flip 16 has reached the UK for £1,299 with a Core Ultra 7 355, 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. The same SKU sells for €1,699 in the Eurozone too, where pricing stretches to €2,299 for the same top configuration sold in the US. Currently, AMD models start at €1,798 in the Eurozone and rise to €2,099 with a Ryzen AI 9 465, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD and a 1800p display.
