HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 review

HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 (2024)

The OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 is the convertible flagship of the new line: a Core Ultra 7 256V with Arc 140V graphics and 32GB of RAM at $1,084. The strongest performance sheet in this batch's convertible field — and the clearest demonstration of a brand-new GPU's scoring lag.

Where it holds up

Overall performance at 75.59 is the stated strength — a 102% cushion over the convertible-class median of 37.38, the best performance reading in the batch's convertible field. Reliability at 85 adds a 73% cushion, the CPU score of 83.94 beats the class median of 59.6 by 41%, portability at 73.1 sits in the high band, and photo design at 36 reaches mid-tier.

Where it falls short

Gaming reads zero — no matched scoring entry exists for the Arc 140V yet, so the gaming column is a coverage gap rather than a measured zero. The honest footnote for the weakness list is modeling at 11, the lowest modeling reading in this batch, with engineering CAD at 34 near the low band's edge. Value at 41.75 is mid-tier; the Arc's real capability sits unread until the scoring tables catch up. No measured game verdicts appear on this sheet.

Price and depreciation

At $1,084 with a 13.87% annual rate, the two-year projection lands near $805 — the standard 2024-wave curve on the field's strongest convertible engine.

Alternatives to consider

The Spectre x360 16 (2024) in this batch costs the same and carries a measured RTX 4050 with top-tier office and photo scores — the safe answer to the Arc 140V's unscored status. The 2024 OmniBook Ultra 14 clamshell offers the same CPU-forward story without the hinge.

Bottom line

Fairly priced for the class. The convertible field's performance leader with flagship reliability — bought against an unscored GPU and the batch's lowest modeling reading. A bet on the platform, priced like one.
