LAS VEGAS — HP is kicking off the new year by significantly expanding its popular OmniBook lineup. At CES 2026, the tech giant unveiled the OmniBook X Flip 14 and OmniBook X Flip 16, two new 2-in-1 laptops designed to be powerhouses for both productivity and creativity. These devices signal HP's full-throttle push into the AI PC era, offering flexible form factors and a choice between the latest silicon from Intel and AMD.
The core promise of both new models is versatility. Featuring a robust 360-degree hinge, each laptop seamlessly transitions between standard laptop, tablet, tent, and reverse modes. This makes them ideal for everything from typing reports and streaming media to sketching ideas and presenting in meetings. Under the hood, they are equipped to handle next-generation AI workloads, thanks to configurable options featuring the latest Intel Core Ultra or AMD Ryzen AI processors.

HP OmniBook X Flip 14: A Compact Powerhouse with Stunning Visuals
For users who prioritize portability without sacrificing performance, the OmniBook X Flip 14 presents a compelling package. It centers on a 14-inch, 16:10 touchscreen, with the top-tier display option being a breathtaking 3K (2880 x 1800) OLED panel with a buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate. HP promises exceptional visual fidelity, with brightness reaching up to 500 nits for standard content and a peak of 1,100 nits for HDR on selected OLED models, all covering 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut.
Buyers can tailor the device to their needs. Processor choices span the latest Intel Core Ultra and AMD Ryzen AI chips, paired with up to 32GB of fast LPDDR5x RAM and up to 2TB of PCIe NVMe storage. Connectivity is future-ready, featuring dual USB-C ports, a legacy USB-A port, HDMI 2.1, and optional Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 6.0. For the increasingly important realm of video calls, HP includes a 5MP IR webcam with HDR switching and Poly Studio-tuned speakers for clear audio.
Weighing in at approximately 3.11 lbs for the Intel version, it’s built for mobility. Battery options range from 59Wh to 70Wh, with HP’s fast-charge technology promising a 50% boost in just 45 minutes.
HP OmniBook X Flip 16: Immersive Display Meets Maximum Performance
Scaling up the concept, the OmniBook X Flip 16 is for those who want a larger canvas. It offers up to a 16-inch 3K OLED touchscreen with a variable refresh rate up to 120Hz, housed in a chassis with a sleek 91% screen-to-body ratio. It also boasts HDR support and low blue light certifications, aiming to reduce eye strain during long work sessions.
Performance configurations mirror the 14-inch model, with a choice between top-tier Intel and AMD AI processors, up to 32GB of LPDDR5x memory, and up to 2TB of storage (PCIe Gen 5 on compatible platforms). Port selection is comprehensive, including Thunderbolt 4 on Intel models, USB-C, USB-A, HDMI 2.1, and a headphone jack. For a closer look at HP's full ecosystem of devices and services that complement these laptops, you can visit the official HP homepage.
The larger chassis allows for a bigger battery, with capacities reaching up to 76Wh in certain configurations—an upgrade from the previous model's 68Wh pack. Despite the larger screen and battery, it remains portable at just over 4.2 lbs and will be available in several color finishes.
