This Ryzen AI 2-in-1 laptop with 16GB RAM has never been cheaper

It’s getting increasingly difficult to find a good deal when it comes to Windows laptops. Oh, you can find deals, sure enough, but I wouldn’t recommend trying to run Windows 11 (to say nothing of a dozen browser tabs) on a typical budget laptop with 8GB RAM. Today, Best Buy is selling a respectable Ryzen AI-powered HP laptop with a big touchscreen and 16GB of RAM for just $529.99. That’s a whopping $370 off.

The HP OmniBook X Flip is a form factor you don’t often see these days, with a relatively large 16-inch 1920×1200 IPS screen that’s also touch-capable and can fold back on itself, yoga-style. That extra space also gives the laptop room for big upward-firing speakers, though the keyboard is standard size and the 68-watt-hour battery could be bigger—especially considering the weight, a little over 4 pounds. This laptop isn’t quite in “desktop replacement” territory, but it’s certainly not designed for lugging around all day long either.

All that said, this thing is shockingly powerful considering the price. With an AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 processor, it’s packing six primary cores and integrated Radeon 840M graphics, which is some of the best you can get without splurging on a discrete graphics card. That makes this laptop a great choice for students who might want to do a little gaming after wrapping up their homework. The 16GB of memory and 512GB of SSD storage are also pretty good at this price, too.

Ports could be better, especially at this size. You get two USB-C (including charging), two USB-A, and full-sized HDMI. I do have to admit, though, that putting both USB-C ports on one side of the laptop annoys me, especially for a 2-in-1 that’ll be squeezed into non-standard positions.

Best Buy is running this as a standard sale without any obvious time limits, so it might stick around for a while. If this doesn’t quite strike your fancy, check out our picks for the best laptops in every category.
