It's agonizingly close now: yep, Black Friday is almost upon us, and some big fat deals are already cropping up. There's no better time of year to pick up a new laptop. I've had my eagle eye on several strong Black Friday laptop deals – and I've just spotted another that's almost ridiculously good.

The HP Omnibook X Flip is currently on sale for just $429.99 (was $849.99) at Best Buy. That's an incredible price-cut of almost 50% that I'd recommend to just about anyone searching for a new laptop. With a shiny new AMD Ryzen AI processor and a gorgeous 16-inch 2K touchscreen, this is the sort of laptop that could make you the envy of the office.

It's not quite half price, but come on: 49.4% off is a serious discount for a new-release HP Omnibook. This laptop packs the latest AMD Ryzen AI processor for enabling Copilot+ features in Windows 11, along with 16GB of RAM and an excellent 2K touch display.

As the name suggests, this Omnibook can effortlessly 'flip' into tent or tablet mode thanks to the touch display and 360-degree hinge. It's ideal for anyone who likes to work on the go but doesn't want to sacrifice precious screen real estate by opting for a smaller, 13- or 14-inch laptop.

Considering the specs on offer here, I'm inclined to say that $430 is an incredible price for this laptop. I'm fairly experienced with HP devices (my daily driver is a trusty old HP Spectre x360 from 2019) and historically, my main criticism of them has been the price. Indeed, I'd say that $850 was a bit steep for the original asking price of the Omnibook X Flip, but a $420 price drop makes it significantly more appealing.

Plus, you're not just getting a capable Windows laptop here; this model features a new AMD Ryzen AI chip, which comes with a dedicated neural processing unit (NPU) for handling local AI workloads – a boon for anyone who wants to take full advantage of the Copilot+ suite in Windows 11. With 16GB of RAM to back it up, it's also just a generally dependable processor that should be able to handle all sorts of everyday office or school work.
