There is not a single incidence of something like that happening with a Lunar Lake or Arrow lake CPU. This is a Lunar Lake and these make for very nice and desirable light weight systems with fantastic battery life. Excellent iGPUs as well.

Stick with AMD for now even the older 7845/7945/8845 CPUs are still better.

I was going to buy it but decided not to do it due to the OLED issues: online reports: Costco's does not cover burn in.
Also, when I went to the local Costco store, the employee told me the same, the 2 year Costco warranty does not cover Burn in.
The HP OmniBook 7 Flip's OLED display is susceptible to burn-in, a permanent image retention issue. While burn-in can be minimized by using dark modes, screen savers, and other measures, it's important to be aware of the risk and take proactive steps to prevent it if you plan to keep the laptop for a while.
Elaboration:
OLED Technology:
HP OmniBook 7 Flip utilizes an OLED display, which, while offering vibrant colors and deep blacks, also carries the risk of burn-in.
Burn-in Explained:
Burn-in occurs when a static image is displayed on the screen for extended periods, causing the pixels to degrade and retain the image, even when the screen is turned off or displays a different image

It also feels significantly faster than my Ryzen 7 8840 something laptop, I get the feeling the benchmarks don't correctly represent how Intel has made the oscillating interactivity/real world experience feel so zippy now.
Build quality is great, feels super light, keyboard is easily top 2-3 I've ever used on a laptop
The fact that there's no number pad and I get to keep my hands centered on the device, sheer luxury
I think I'm in love
I have it right next to my previous latpop, same screen size also HP w/ the new logo and a Ryzen 7 and this Intel one feels dramatically lighter and more portable. The shape and form of the chassis itself is also new and kind of interesting on the bottom-side, it starts tigther and tapers outward, I felt like it somehow made it slightly more comfortable to carry as I used it in the living room for the Nuggets game on a couch, and in my office, and in my bed later
So far I'm in love with this thing, waiting for something imperfect to happen

I agree with you. The shift to the left of the home keys that is required to accommodate a numeric keypad is a nuisance and I suspect that is true for the overwhelming majority of users who have little to it.

Oh don't get me wrong.... for around the house, I think this is a great machine and it seems like a great deal. I was just responding to the other poster who said they want something light and at 4 lb, I don't consider that really light. Also, the overall footprint is larger than a 13/14" which can be a little large for packing and using on an airplane, etc, but it's all a matter of personal preference I suppose. Here are the dimensions and weight for anyone interested.
Dimensions (W X D X H)
14.02 x 9.67 x 0.61 in
Weight
3.95 lb

I've had OLED TVs and laptops for about a decade now and never had this problem and so I wonder how prevalent this is in the real world. Additionally, on a laptop, it can be difficult to display the same image for any period of time because of the energy saving screen timeouts, etc. I also just read that modern laptop OLED screens have some safeguards built in to try to prevent screen burn-in.
