From skin care to workout wear (#athleisure, anyone), modern day consumers expect more from their investments. And, in a world where multi-tasking is essential – and the cost of living climbing by the day – the HP OmniBook Ultra Flip rises to the occasion, boasting versatility, cutting-edge technology, and a commitment to sustainability. With three different modes, impressive lifestyle features, powerful specs, cross ecosystem compatibility, and eco-conscious design, the OmniBook Ultra Flip is a true “triple threat” in today’s tech landscape.
One device: Three modes
The OmniBook Ultra Flip’s standout feature is its ability to seamlessly transition between three modes: traditional laptop, tent, and tablet. In traditional laptop mode, you have a familiar setup with a full keyboard and trackpad, perfect for productivity focused tasks like writing, designing, or managing documents. When creativity calls, tent mode is ideal for presentations or hands-free viewing, and allows you to showcase content or immerse yourself in media without needing to hold the device. And, in tablet mode, the OmniBook Ultra Flip becomes an ultra responsive touchscreen, enabling interactive activities like drawing or annotating with an optional stylus. This adaptability makes it the perfect choice for those who crave versatility and want a device that moves with them through their day.
Lifestyle friendly features
Much like a good pair of leggings that can take you from barre to brunch, OmniBook Ultra Flip is committed to enhancing user experience. The 14” 3K OLED display offers vibrant colours and sharp detail that brings content to life. Its 120Hz refresh rate ensures buttery smooth scrolling and responsive feedback, ideal for everything from gaming to graphic design. Additionally, the display supports variable refresh rates, adjusting based on usage to optimise battery life while maintaining stunning visuals.
The OmniBook Ultra Flip also incorporates intelligent screen sensing features, and promotes digital wellbeing by reducing blue light exposure and adjusting brightness to match ambient lighting. The eHealth sensing technology monitors usage patterns, helping to minimize eye strain, making it a healthier choice for extended use.
Another convenience is its support for hand gestures, which lets users perform simple commands like scrolling or volume adjustment with a flick of their fingers. This feature makes for an intuitive, hands free experience when multi-tasking or in situations where touching the screen isn’t practical.
Battery life is another highlight. The OmniBook boasts an impressive 20.5-hour duration of video playback – making it ideal for those on the go. The laptop also supports fast charging, reaching 50% in just 45 minutes, so users spend less time plugged in and more time on the move.
Security is the star
Security is where the HP OmniBook Ultra Flip truly shines, offering features that keep both the device and user information safe. At the heart of its security is HP Wolf Security, an industry-leading solution designed to protect from cyber threats and vulnerabilities. HP’s unique security chip allows the PC’s core to “self heal” from cyber attacks, ensuring peace of mind even in the face of the latest digital threats.
Enhanced by AI, the OmniBook Ultra Flip features “lock on leave” and “wake on approach” capabilities. With lock on leave, the laptop automatically locks when the user steps away, while wake on approach detects the user’s presence and brings the device back to life, providing a seamless and secure user experience.
For an added layer of security, the OmniBook Ultra Flip includes a fingerprint reader integrated into the power button, along with a physical on/off latch for the camera and a dedicated mute button for the microphone. This ensures that users can easily control the device’s security features without navigating through menus. Trusted Platform Module (TPM) support further reinforces the device’s defences, making it a solid choice for those prioritising privacy and data security.
All about the eco-system
Under the hood, the OmniBook Ultra Flip packs an Intel Core Ultra processor and a powerful Neural Processing Unit (NPU), making it a tech powerhouse. The NPU supports up to 48 TOPS (trillion operations per second), enabling real-time AI-powered tasks, such as background blurring and noise reduction in video calls. With up to 32GB of LPDDR5x memory and an Intel Arc 140V GPU, the OmniBook Ultra Flip is built for multi-tasking, from editing high-resolution graphics to running data-intensive applications with ease.
In a world where cross-device functionality is critical, HP also addresses the need for streamlined connectivity with the Intel Unison feature. This function bridges the gap between different ecosystems, allowing users to sync with devices across platforms, whether on macOS, ChromeOS, or Windows. Intel Unison simplifies transferring files, managing notifications, and handling calls directly from the laptop, keeping users connected without limiting them to one ecosystem. It’s a feature that simplifies the lives of users with a range of devices, providing flexibility without compromise.
Spotlight on sustainability
Finally, with sustainability in mind, HP has incorporated a range of eco-friendly materials and practices into the OmniBook Ultra Flip. Recycled metal forms the laptop cover, hinge, and keyboard supporting plate, reducing the need for new resources. HP’s manufacturers also use post-consumer recycled plastic in the keyboard’s keycaps and scissors, while ocean-bound plastic takes on a new role in the bezel and speaker enclosures.
HP ensures the device’s packaging is 100% sustainably sourced, using recycled materials for outer boxes and fibre cushions. The OmniBook is also EPEAT Gold certified and meets Energy Star criteria, reflecting HP’s commitment to environmental stewardship and ensuring users can feel good about their purchase.
The Ultra Flip 14 can be purchased from HP.com.au, as well as from major retailers such as JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, and The Good Guys. The RRP starts from $2999 and varies depending on inclusions and specs.
