HP OmniBook X Flip at $749.99: Is This 2-in-1 Worth Buying?
HP’s 16-inch OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1 is selling for $749.99 during Best Buy’s 60th Anniversary sale, down from $1,199.99. A $450 discount materially changes the value proposition for a large convertible with 16GB of memory and a 1TB SSD.
01 Event
The discounted configuration combines a 16-inch 2K touchscreen, Intel Core Ultra 7 256V processor, Intel Arc graphics, 16GB of LPDDR5X memory and 1TB of storage in a 360-degree convertible design.
02 What Changed?
The biggest change is price. At $1,199.99, the OmniBook X Flip competes with many premium productivity laptops. At $749.99, it moves much closer to mainstream laptop pricing while keeping the larger display, touchscreen and 2-in-1 flexibility.
03 Why It Matters
Large convertibles are a niche compromise: you get a big touchscreen and flexible hinge, but the device is heavier than a typical tablet or ultraportable. The discount makes that compromise easier to accept for someone who values screen space more than portability.
04 What It Means for You
This makes the most sense for home, school or desk-heavy work where a 16-inch display is useful and occasional tablet or presentation modes add value. If you travel constantly, a smaller clamshell may still be the better buy. The 16GB memory is sufficient for mainstream work, but it is not the ideal configuration for someone planning very heavy creative workloads for years.
05 Numbers + Context
Sale price: $749.99. Previous price: $1,199.99. Discount: $450, or about 37.5%. Storage: 1TB. Memory: 16GB. Display: 16-inch 2K touchscreen.

06 Earnyx Takeaway
At $749.99, this is a strong value if you specifically want a large touchscreen convertible. The discount is real enough to move it into a different buying tier. But the hinge and touch features only create value if you will use them—otherwise a lighter conventional laptop may still be the smarter purchase.
