The OMNIBook Ultra Flip 14 HP, when launched, was one of the first laptops to obtain the new Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2 processors. The new chipset promises even better efficiency compared to series 1, and that is something that many people are looking for in a thin ultrabook. However, the Ultra Flip 14 Omnibook is also duplicating tablet, as it has a 360 -degree hinge and a screen supported by touch.
The HP convertible offer is part of a handful of 2 in 1 available on the market with the new Intel Core Ultra Series 2. It is not cheap, because the basic variant begins at RS. 1.81 999. The unit we received for examination, which contains the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V chipset, sells for Rs. 1.899. Read our criticism to discover it.
HP Omnibook Ultra Flip 14 Design
- Dimensions – 31.37 x 21.62 x 1.49 cm
- Weight – 1.34 kg
- Colors – Atmospheric blue
At first glance, there is nothing visibly special in the ultra flip 14 omnibook. The laptop is thin, aluminum and a matt finish that likes to hang on to fingerprints and stains.
The laptop is elegant and has a matt finish
However, if you look carefully, you will see that the rear edges are tilted and shelter the USB type-C ports. Yes, there are no Type A USB ports on the laptop. There is a third USB type-C port on the right side and an audio port of 3.5 mm on the right.
The bottom houses a large intake vent and lower speakers
It should be noted that you can only load the laptop only using type C ports on the right side. You cannot plug anything in thickness in the USB type-C ports, because the screen arrives in the path.
The hinge, which is 360 degree, seemed very durable throughout the exam. It was also fairly smooth accordingly.
Inclined corners shelter USB type C ports
The ultra flip 14 omnibook obtains an HP metal logo on the top, an Omnibook nickname outside the right hinge and a polystudio engraving on the left side. Below, you will find a large intake mesh and a few rubber feet. The laptop weighs 1.34 kg and is only 14.9 mm thick.
OMNIBook Ultra FLIP 14 HP display
- Size – 14 inches, 2.8K resolution, OLED TOUCH, 16:10
- Refresh rate – 48-120 Hz
- Brightness – 500 Nits
The ultra flip 14, as its name suggests, has a 14.8k 14 -inch 2.8k resolution panel of 14 inch which is multi -compatible and offers a 120 Hz cooling rate. It is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and also supports HDR. HP also claims that the panel offers a response time of 0.2 ms and up to 500 brightness in HDR mode.
The display has a reflective coating, which makes it difficult to read from the outside
The OLED panel is excellent for watching movies and in particular HDR content. You get deep blacks and a bright color reproduction. The display also becomes quite shiny inside, although I recommend not to use the laptop outside due to the shiny panel.
It is an excellent display with deep blacks and bright colors
The touch answer on the panel is excellent, however, and you can easily use it as a tablet. However, I preferred to use it in tent mode because using it as a tablet becomes uncomfortable very soon due to the weight. The panel also supports a stylus input and you get the reclining MPP 2.0 rechargeable HP pen in the box.
HP Omnibook Ultra Flip 14 Keyboard, touchpad, speakers and webcam
- Keyboard – full -size fingerprint reader, backlit size
- Touchpad – multitouch with haptic feedback
- Speakers – Quadrics pilots powered by Poly Studio
- Web camera – 9 megapixels, ir, double microphones
The laptop keyboard is ideal for type. The function line is a lighter gray shade compared to the rest of the keyboard, and the power button is light blue in color with an integrated fingerprint scanner. There is a good spacing between the keys, the backlight is quite good and there is a decent trip. However, I would have preferred if the keys to the arrows were a little larger.
The laptop has a large trackpad and a fingerprint scanner
HP has equipped the Ultra Flip 14 with a large touchpad that works very well and supports multitouch gestures. Haptic feedback is also quite good but can be a bit strong.
The speakers are not so strong overall, but are good enough for use inside. You get quadruple shooting speakers, which offer a clear audio and are noisy but are missing at the bottom of the range. They are powered by Poly Studio.
The laptop has a 9 -megapixel IR web camera that is delivered with a physical pane. The quality is good, with enough details and colors mainly precise in good lighting conditions. It is better than many other web cameras of laptops. However, low light performance leave something to be desired.
HP Omnibook Ultra Flip 14 Software
- OS – Home Windows 11
- Additional software – Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition 2021
As this is a Copilot + PC, you get some AI features, but the renowned recall function of Microsoft was not found. The laptop runs Windows 11 Home and you get a lot of HP cooked software such as Poly Camera Pro, AI Companion, HP Smart, McAfee Lifeafe and HP Omen.
The HP AI companion is for those who treat with a lot of PDF at work
Although most of the applications I mentioned above are not really useful, you can use the AI companion application to search in PDF, if that’s something you do a lot. The laptop has a powerful NPU Intel, but there are not only enough AI features to test it.
You can use the Copilot chatbot and there are also a bunch of AI tools available in paint that can be useful. The Poly Camera Pro application can also be useful during video calls or streaming because it offers automatic framing, backgrounds, filigranes, projectors and a bunch of camera filters. There are also Windows Studio effects that can improve your video call experience.
HP Omnibook Ultra Flip 14 Performance
- CPU – Intel Core Ultra 7 258V
- RAM – up to 32 GB LPDDR5X
- Storage – Up to 1 to M.2 SSD
- GPU – Intel Arc 140V
Our examination unit came with the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V chipset associated with 32 GB of RAM, 1 TB of storage and the Intel ARC 140V integrated GPU. The laptop worked very well in the daily use that involved using Chrome with a bunch of open tabs, in video streaming on YouTube or Netflix, by performing applications such as Slack and a lot of entry.
Intel core ultra series 2 fleas are very effective
I ran a lot of landmarks on the laptop to see how it worked against the Intel Core ultra chips in series 1 and you can see the improvements, especially in GPU performance.

The integrated GPU is also good enough to perform games such as Forza Horizon 4, which delivered around 40 to 50 images per second on the laptop. I have never encountered major problems or delays when using the laptop, and the cooling system has managed heat during heavy tasks such as games and video editing.
Omnibook Ultra Flip 14 HP battery
- Capacity – 64Wh li -ion
- Load – 65W
The battery life on the ultra flip 14 omnibook was impressive to say the least. I was able to constantly obtain 9 to 10 hours of use (a full day of work) out of the laptop, with around 30% battery. The new Intel Core Ultra Series 2 chipsets are certainly more effective than before, while not sacrificing performance too much.
HP Omnibook Ultra Flip 14 Verdict
It is time for the verdict, and I would like to say that the HP Omnibook Ultra Flip 14 is definitely on the expensive side, and it is something that prevents me from recommending it to users. However, if the price is not a problem, and it should see a drop soon, then this 2 -in -1 HP laptop is a good purchase.
The Ultra Flip 14 omnibook has an excellent OLED screen, good performance, especially in games, a large battery life and is portable. Although there is a lack of bases such as type A USB port, it is not so bad. If you are a creator looking for a 2 in 1 with an excellent screen and good battery life, it is a very good choice.
