HP OmniBook X Flip 16t-as00 — 16″ 3K OLED Copilot+ 2-in-1 Laptop with Intel Core Ultra 7 256V
The HP OmniBook X Flip 16t-as00 is a 16-inch convertible laptop built for professionals and creatives who need a large, high-fidelity display alongside genuine AI-accelerated performance. Powered by Intel’s Lunar Lake Core Ultra 7 256V processor — with a dedicated NPU rated at 47 TOPS — it meets the Microsoft Copilot+ PC specification and unlocks hardware-accelerated AI features in Windows 11. The centrepiece is a 3K OLED touchscreen with a 48–120 Hz variable refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage, and HDR 500-nit brightness: a display class that is uncommon at this price point in the convertible category.

Use Cases
Creative Professionals and Designers
The OmniBook X Flip 16 is one of the few 16-inch convertibles to ship with a 100% DCI-P3 OLED display at this price tier. For instance, photo retouching in Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop benefits directly from accurate wide-gamut rendering — colours appear as they will in print or on calibrated displays. The 360-degree hinge additionally allows the laptop to fold into tablet mode, where the included MPP2.0 pen provides a large digital canvas for sketching, annotation, and illustration work.
Hybrid Workers and Remote Professionals
The Thunderbolt 4 port supports a single-cable dock connection, so arriving at a desk means plugging in one cable rather than reconnecting multiple peripherals. The Arc 140V GPU can drive up to three 4K external displays simultaneously via HDMI 2.1 and the two USB-C/Thunderbolt ports — which is considerably more flexible than the dual-output limit on many competing thin-and-light platforms. Wi-Fi 7 with multi-link operation maintains a more stable connection in congested environments such as hotels or co-working spaces.
Students and Educators
At 1.88 kg, the OmniBook X Flip 16 is notably lighter than most 16-inch laptops, which typically weigh 2.0–2.3 kg. However, it is heavier than 14-inch alternatives; this is the natural trade-off for the larger canvas. The 16:10 aspect ratio shows approximately 11% more vertical content than a 16:9 panel of the same diagonal — useful for reading long documents, comparing code side-by-side, or following lecture notes without constant scrolling. Additionally, the Copilot+ NPU enables Windows Studio Effects for real-time background blur and eye contact correction without CPU overhead.
Media Consumption and Entertainment
The 3K OLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 0.2 ms response time is substantially more engaging for video content than an IPS equivalent. OLED technology produces absolute black by turning off individual pixels — a capability that IPS panels cannot match. However, note that the glossy panel surface increases reflections in bright environments, which is a characteristic of all OLED laptop displays rather than a design choice specific to this product.
Considerations
Memory, Display and Connectivity
RAM is permanently on-package and cannot be upgraded. The Intel Lunar Lake architecture integrates memory directly onto the processor package — not just soldered to the motherboard, but physically part of the SoC die stack. There is no upgrade path. The 16 GB ceiling is therefore a long-term commitment. Buyers who run virtual machines, large datasets, or professional video editing at higher resolutions should evaluate whether 16 GB will remain adequate over a three-to-five-year ownership period, or consider the 258V configuration with 32 GB.
OLED panel has a glossy surface. All OLED laptop displays use glass rather than the matte film used on most IPS screens. In brightly lit offices or near windows, reflections are visible and can reduce comfortable viewing time. The 400-nit SDR brightness is adequate for most indoor conditions but will not overcome direct sunlight.
OLED burn-in risk under sustained static content. OLED panels can develop permanent image retention if the same static elements — taskbar, window borders, status bars — are displayed at high brightness for extended periods. Windows 11 includes a default screensaver and auto-dimming policy that mitigates this under normal use, but buyers who leave static dashboards or documents open for many hours at maximum brightness should be aware of this characteristic.
Wireless and Ports
Wi-Fi 7 requires a Wi-Fi 7 router to realise full throughput benefits. The Intel BE201 card is backwards compatible with Wi-Fi 6E and earlier standards; however, multi-link operation and the improved throughput of Wi-Fi 7 only function when connected to a Wi-Fi 7-capable access point. This is worth noting for buyers in regions where Wi-Fi 7 infrastructure is not yet common.
Charging occupies a USB-C or Thunderbolt 4 port. When charging from the USB-C adapter, one port is in use. At a desk without a Thunderbolt dock, buyers have one Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C port, two USB-A ports, and HDMI 2.1 available simultaneously — which covers most peripheral combinations without a hub.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HP OmniBook X Flip 16t-as00 a Copilot+ PC?
Yes. The Intel Core Ultra 7 256V includes a dedicated AI Boost NPU rated at 47 TOPS, which exceeds the 40 TOPS threshold that Microsoft requires for Copilot+ PC certification. This enables hardware-accelerated AI features in Windows 11, including Recall, live captions, Cocreator in Paint, and Windows Studio Effects.
Can the RAM be upgraded later?
No. The Intel Lunar Lake architecture places the LPDDR5x memory directly on the processor package. It is not upgradeable at any point in the product’s life. The 256V ships with 16 GB; the 258V variant ships with 32 GB and is the appropriate choice for users who need more headroom.
What is the Thunderbolt 4 port used for?
Thunderbolt 4 supports data transfer at up to 40 Gbps, DisplayPort video output, and USB Power Delivery charging. Additionally, it supports daisy-chaining of Thunderbolt docks and displays, which means a single cable at a desk can provide power, video output, and peripheral connectivity simultaneously.
Does the 3K OLED display support HDR?
Yes. The OLED panel reaches 500 nits peak brightness in HDR mode and is HDR-certified. For SDR content, peak brightness is 400 nits. The panel covers 100% of the DCI-P3 colour space, which is the standard used for cinema and streaming HDR content.
Does the stylus pen come in the box?
Yes — this configuration includes the HP USB-C Rechargeable MPP2.0 Tilt Pen. The pen charges via USB-C, supports pressure sensitivity and tilt response, and is compatible with the touchscreen in tablet and tent mode.
What external display configurations does this support?
The OmniBook X Flip 16 can drive up to three external displays: one via full-size HDMI 2.1, one via the Thunderbolt 4 port (DisplayPort over Thunderbolt), and a third via the USB-C 10 Gbps port. Verify maximum resolution per output with the HP Africa product specification sheet for your region.
