HP's "high-quality, 2-in-1 AI laptop" is down to $699 for a limited time — ideal for students and Windows 10 refugees

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.

Save 33% ($350)

HP OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1: was $1,049.99 now $699.99 at Best Buy

"This laptop is honestly a great option for around $1,000, even though I'm genuinely not a fan of HP's new "lattice-less" keyboard design. Good hardware and plenty of configuration options seal the deal, and frequent sales make the OmniBook X Flip 14 even more enticing." — Zachary Boddy, Staff Writer

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.
