Why settle for a laptop that’s simply a laptop? The HP OmniBook 5 Flip bends, folds, and flips to suit the moment, pairing a 360-degree design with a 14-inch OLED touchscreen and Intel Core Ultra Series 3 performance. Words Scott Hocking One laptop, four ways to use it. Meet the HP OmniBook 5 Flip

What Intel Core Ultra Series 3 means for you Responsive

performance for everyday apps, multitasking, and creative work

Improved efficiency

helps balance performance with longer battery life Built-in Intel Graphics handles streaming, photo work, and everyday entertainment without a separate GPU

Can it keep your desk setup simple? Yes. Two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, and HDMI give you connections for a mouse, external drive, or display, and more – a welcome change from laptops that need a separate USB-C hub for external devices and peripherals.

Why choose the HP OmniBook 5 Flip? You can use it in laptop mode for emails and assignments, fold it into tablet mode for reading, prop it up in tent mode for streaming, or flip the keyboard behind the screen for presentations. Instead of adapting what you’re doing to the laptop, the laptop does the adapting.

Will the battery keep up with a full day? HP rates the OmniBook 5 Flip for up to 15 hours of mixed usage and up to 22 hours of video playback.* That stamina matters in a laptop made to bounce between work, study, and entertainment without constant recharging. When it is time to power-up, the included GaN charger is more efficient than a conventional power adapter, helping keep the charging setup compact when you’re on the move.

Who is the HP OmniBook 5 Flip best for? This laptop is a natural fit for students, hybrid workers, and multitaskers who’ll frequently use the touchscreen and different display configurations. The stunning OLED display, 2-in-1 flexibility, and everyday performance make it handy when one device needs to cover work and downtime. Choose the Silver model for classic looks or Sky Blue for more personality.

What’s the OLED touchscreen like to use? The 14-inch 1920x1200 OLED display isn’t just there to make movies look good. OLED brings deep blacks, punchy contrast, and rich colour, while HP quotes 95% DCI-P3 coverage. Its 16:10 ratio also gives documents and web pages more vertical breathing room.
