This 16 inch HP OmniBook 7 Flip stands out as a lightweight 2 in 1 with a sharp 3K 120 hertz OLED touch screen, 32 gigabytes of RAM, and a fast Ultra 7 chip that feels snappy for everyday work. The battery life, quiet operation, premium build, and lighter weight than some other 16 inch convertibles are strong points, and the integrated graphics are fine for light gaming at 1080p. The glossy display, wobbly hinge, missing dedicated page and home end keys, low speaker volume, and HP software bloat are the main complaints. The 90 day warranty also limits the appeal, making it a solid fit for non gamers who can live with the tradeoffs.
The 3K 120Hz OLED touch display can deliver strong resolution and refresh for everyday use.
The 32GB RAM configuration can support future workloads for several years of typical non-gaming use.
The ultrabook-style 17W CPU design can still provide usable integrated graphics for lighter tasks.
The laptop can feel premium and run quietly with good battery life during normal use.
The OLED screen can be highly glossy and reflective, which may require careful tilting in bright rooms.
HP bloatware and software issues can require reinstalling a clean Windows image to fix problems.
The hinge can feel wobbly, which may reduce confidence in the 2-in-1 build.
The 90-day warranty can be a dealbreaker for shoppers who want longer coverage.

This 15mins video is very informative. Only two serious cons I see:
- Super glossy reflective screen (many OLEDs displays suffer this), if you plan to use outdoors are well lit room
- Wobbly hinge
However for $750, a 3K 120HZ is perfect resolution and refresh rate. 32GB RAM future proofs for a next 3 years at least, and very good CPU. The pros outweighs the cons for a non-gamer user like me.I've been waiting to find these specs under a $1k.
Thank you for sharing this deal

It's got all the specs and is probably going to be excellent for most people.
Coming from a 14" laptop, this is definitely an improvement in terms of useable screen size, and the glossy finish isn't that bad as you can easily tilt the screen to mitigate whatever glare.
The centered keyboard is great especially if you're not one to use a number pad.
The lack of a column of keys for page up/down home and end drives me crazy, and using the function key to activate those buttons on the arrow keys is obnoxious if you like using those keys as it all but negates their efficiency.
The built in speakers offer decent sound but the volume level surprisingly maxes out quite low for what is essentially a desktop replacement machine.
I had a lot of bizarre issues running python and TurboTax on my machine, and after literally 3 full days on the phone with Intuit, the only fix that worked was for me to completely reinstall a vanilla copy of Windows without all the HP junk, and finally it cleared up the TurboTax issue. Python still gives me some issues but I've mostly found workarounds and that won't affect most users.
The biggest disappointment I have is that for a machine that is 4 years newer than my previous HP laptop and with about triple the processing abilities and double the RAM (in quantity and speed), chrome still manages to freeze sometimes as often as 4 or 5 times in one session. I have plugins to automatically put most of my tabs to sleep but somehow it still sucks up 50-70% of available memory and leads to freezing. This did not happen nearly as often on my older machine with half the RAM, and yes I know I don't need 60+ tabs open and I know I could just use other browsers, etc., but my understanding is that this is more of a Chrome/Windows 11 issue and less the hardware. That having been said, it's still super annoying and disappointing, but I'll digress as it's not likely specific to this machine. Most reviews and reddit posts I've browsed do mention that if you have any moderate level of computer skills, you should do yourself a favor and install a fresh factory Microsoft copy of Windows on the machine right away and you should be good to go for years.
The build feels nice and premium (I don't notice any issues with the hinge that some have mentioned) and relatively thoughtfully designed, including a built-in physical web camera siding privacy shutter. Battery life is great and machine is much quieter than my older HP laptop, and does not got hot in comparison. The keyboard can be a little "clackey" compared to some, but doesn't bother me much personally, though I often do use a separate keyboard due to the need for keypad and page/home/end keys for data analysis and coding work that the built-in keyboard just makes unbearable for me.
Regarding the built-in Copilot functionality, I don't honestly notice it or frankly find it clear what to use it for / when / how, and though I use GenAI very often, it's no thanks to that functionality.
HTH
I just picked it up and its only slightly heavier than the Asus Vivobook flip 14" (mainly due to the smaller battery I'd guess).
