Back-to-school season is upon us, and I know that there are plenty of parents and students still shopping for a new laptop that won’t break the bank.
HP’s 14-inch OmniBook X Flip is a top contender for students and practically anyone else who wants a quality convertible laptop on the cheap, coming at you with strong performance, full Copilot+ PC capabilities, and a portable, versatile design.
Rather than paying the regular $1,049.99 price, this laptop, to which we handed a Windows Central Recommended Award in our review, is now down to $699.99 at Best Buy. That’s $350 or 33% off the regular price, and I don’t expect the deal to last long.

Why HP’s OmniBook X Flip 14 for 2025 is such a tempting laptop
Windows Central Staff Writer and laptop expert Zachary Boddy reviewed the OmniBook X Flip 14 less than a month ago; they gave it four stars and a Recommended Award.
While Boddy called out battery life as one drawback, you must understand that it can still deliver “all-day” life; it just won’t keep up with some of the best Windows laptops out there.
The lesser battery life is due to the solid performance from the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 CPU, complete with Radeon 860M integrated graphics and a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) capable of up to 50 TOPS of AI power. Yes, this is an AI PC and a Copilot+ PC.
The laptop is durable with a “practical 2-in-1 design” that allows you to use it as a tablet or as a notebook, and its 14-inch 1200p touch display supports inking for those who prefer sketching and writing notes.
As Boddy stated in their review, “this laptop feels made to go on sale.” At $350 (or 33%) off the regular price, I don’t expect the $699.99 sale tag to last long.
