I’ve tested more than a hundred laptops and this is the Black Friday deal I’d recommend: the best-selling HP Omnibook X Flip is heavily discounted

Black Friday is upon us, and some big, fat deals are cropping up. There’s no better time of year to pick up a new laptop. I’ve had my eagle eye on several strong Black Friday laptop deals – and I’ve just spotted another that’s almost ridiculously good.

The HP Omnibook X Flip is currently on sale for just $429.99 (was $849.99) at Best Buy. That’s an incredible price cut of almost 50% that I’d recommend to just about anyone searching for a new laptop. With a shiny new AMD Ryzen AI processor and a gorgeous 16-inch 2K touchscreen, this is the sort of laptop that could make you the envy of the office.

Shoppers in the UK can pick up the 14-inch model with an Intel Core Ultra 5 chip for an equally steep discount that’s actually better than half price: just £499 (was £1,030) direct from the HP Store. You’ll need to use the discount code BLACK100 to knock the price down to that figure from the listed £599 sale price, though.

Considering the specs on offer here, I’m inclined to say that $430/£499 is a genuinely incredible price for this laptop. I’m fairly experienced with HP devices (my daily driver is a trusty old HP Spectre x360 from 2019, still going strong!), and historically my main criticism of them has been the price. Indeed, I’d say that $850 was a bit steep for the original asking price of the Omnibook X Flip, but a $420 price drop makes it significantly more appealing.

Plus, you’re not just getting a capable Windows laptop here; the models I’ve featured above pack the latest AMD Ryzen AI and Intel Core Ultra chips (for the US and UK models respectively), both of which come with a dedicated ‘neural processing unit’ (NPU) for handling local AI workloads – a boon for anyone who wants to take full advantage of the Copilot+ suite in Windows 11. With 16GB of RAM to back it up, the Omnibook X Flip is also just a generally dependable laptop that should be able to handle all sorts of everyday office or school work with ease.
