Summary
22-hour local video playback was the standout result in ZDNET’s test of HP’s 2026 OmniBook X Flip 14, with the reviewer also reporting real-world workdays ending around 50% battery.
That endurance marks a sharp jump from 13 hours on the 2025 model, while the laptop’s OLED panel and AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 configuration still delivered strong everyday, creative and light gaming performance.
The 14-inch convertible also impressed on design, with a premium aluminum build, new color options, a 2K OLED display covering 95% of DCI-P3, Wi-Fi 7 and a broad port selection.
Drawbacks were more modest than fatal: speakers and touchpad were described as merely average, the glossy screen may bother some users, and fan noise can rise under load.
HP prices the OmniBook X Flip 14 from $1,399, while the reviewed 32GB RAM and 2TB storage configuration costs $2,529, putting it in the upper midrange for professionals and creatives.
