HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 · Core Ultra 7 258V · Arc 140V · 14″ OLED · 120Hz

Intel Core Ultra 7 258V · Intel Arc Graphics 140V · 32GB LPDDR5x-8533 (onboard) · 2TB SSD (Samsung PM9A1) · 14″ 2880×1800 OLED 120Hz glossy · 1.336 kg
Decent graphics performance for the sizehigh resolution 9 MP webcam, 120 Hz 1800p OLED panel, respectable battery life, lighter than expected. Raw processor performance is uncompelling, display could be brighter for outdoor use, shallow clickpad feedback, SSD may throttle, no USB-A ports. Spectre-like without the Spectre price – balances performance with weight.
