HP OmniBook X Flip 16-BE0003DX review

A modern 2025 2-in-1 ultrabook with a strong integrated GPU

The HP OmniBook X Flip 16-BE0003DX (2025) is the newest machine in this batch, built around AMD's Ryzen 5 220 with 64 GB of RAM in a 16-inch convertible chassis. At about $705 it sits well above the $373 category median for ultrabooks — in the mid price tier — and the recent vintage justifies it. The integrated Radeon graphics post a score well above the category median, the memory pool lands in the "pro" tier, and there are no low-scoring axes besides a slightly above-typical weight for the class.

Where it shines: graphics, memory and platform freshness

The Ryzen 5 220's integrated Radeon graphics post a score well above the ultrabook category median — competitive with low-end discrete GPUs from a few years ago. Combined with 64 GB of RAM (the "pro" tier), the OmniBook X Flip is genuinely capable for everyday graphics work, hardware-accelerated media and light creative tasks. The capability fit confirms: recommended settings on Overwatch, Grand Theft Auto V and Rainbow Six Siege are all in scope, as is Adobe Photoshop for design work.

The compromise: weight

At 1.89 kg the OmniBook X Flip sits above the typical weight for an ultrabook — a side effect of the 16-inch chassis and the full-power CPU. It's still portable, but buyers comparing it to 13-inch or 14-inch ultrabooks will notice the difference. The weight is the only axis where the platform reads as anything other than capable.

Price trajectory

From an original $1,400 MSRP, the OmniBook X Flip has depreciated to about $705 today — an annual rate near 12%, reflecting the recent vintage and the typical steep early-life curve. Projected forward, another two years bring it to roughly $546, a 22.6% drop.

How it compares

Direct comparisons are thin in the dataset — the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 ($652) and HP Envy 13-aq1013dx ($604) are the closest alternatives, both slightly cheaper but with smaller screens and older platforms. The OmniBook X Flip's value case rests on the 2025 Ryzen platform, the 16-inch convertible form factor, and the 64 GB of RAM.

Bottom line

The OmniBook X Flip is fairly priced for the class for buyers who want a 2025-vintage 16-inch convertible with strong integrated graphics and a generous memory pool. The Ryzen 5 220 platform is fresh, the capability set is broad, and the only real trade-off is weight. Buyers who want a smaller form factor can save money with the Envy 13, but they'll get older hardware.
