HP's OmniBook Flip series has impressed us here at ZDNET this past year, stepping up as affordable, versatile laptops for a variety of everyday use cases for students or professionals.
We recently reviewed the OmniBook X Flip 16, the larger model of the series, noting its brilliant display and solid performance for the price. Now, I've been using the 14-inch variety (with an AMD processor) and found it equally practical.

The 24GB (for $1,049) and 16GB ($849) versions are what are offered at third-party retailers right now, and I recommend these configurations.
