HP OmniBook X Flip laptop gets $300 discount

With memory prices remaining high and showing no signs of falling, a good deal on a budget-friendly system with sufficient RAM is always welcome. Best Buy has discounted the HP OmniBook X Flip by $300, bringing the price down to $699.99. This model comes with an Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, 16GB of LPDDR5X memory, and a 512GB SSD for storage. The display is a 1920 x 1200 LED touchscreen with a fully rotating hinge, allowing tent or tablet modes. This laptop should be great for both web browsing and homework.

While the Intel Core 5 Ultra may not be the most powerful chip for heavy workloads or gaming, the OmniBook compensates with strong battery life and connectivity. HP claims the system can run for over 22 hours of video playback on a single charge, and fast charging can bring the battery to 50 percent in just 30 minutes. The laptop includes two USB-C ports, one supporting Thunderbolt 4, two USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
