How they stack up

HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14

The HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 is the closest rival to the Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 at the premium end, matching it on OLED quality and thinness while adding a far better 9MP webcam, though the Yoga 9i's rotating soundbar hinge and 1,100-nit panel edge ahead. It is more portable than the 16-inch Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 and HP OmniBook X Flip 16, and better-finished than the cheaper Lenovo Yoga 7i.

HP OmniBook X Flip 16

The HP OmniBook X Flip 16 is the value pick of this group, offering a 16-inch 3K OLED similar in size to the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 for several hundred dollars less. Reviewers note it undercuts the Lenovo Yoga 7i while matching or beating its OLED. It does not match the build polish or battery life of the premium Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1, HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 or Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360, but it is the cheapest way into a big OLED convertible here.
