HP OmniBook X Flip discounted $300 to $699.99 at Best Buy
↗
Best Buy is selling the HP OmniBook X Flip for $699.99, a $300 discount from its usual $1000 price, in a configuration with an Intel Core Ultra 5, 16GB of LPDDR5X memory, and a 512GB SSD.
With memory prices remaining high, a budget laptop with 16GB of RAM under $700 is uncommon and relevant for engineers who need adequate memory for containers, VMs, or multitasking. The Thunderbolt 4 port and HDMI 2.1 output make it viable as a lightweight development or remote work machine, though the Intel Core Ultra 5 limits heavier workloads.
