HP OmniBook Ultra Flip – Design, Build and IO

This is, as HP has been promoting it, a delight for freelancers or working professionals who are always on the move. Portability-wise, it is definitely a machine that you can easily carry along. This 14-inch 2-in-1 sleek-looking laptop in the aluminium frame comes in full metal body. It is quite lightweight at just 1.3kg and compact with 14.9 mm thickness.

We had the Atmospheric Blue colour unit for this review and it is stunning to look at. It comes in a classic matte finish, which means you don’t have to really worry about keeping it clean all the time.

The 360-degree hinge design can be very attractive depending on what exactly you are looking for in a laptop. HP is calling it Ultra Flip, which is an interesting word choice in times when foldable gadgets are very much in trend. The laptop is basically a convertible as you can flip it into a tablet when needed. The hinge seems to be sturdy.

The limited ports could be a problem for some users. It only features 2 Thunderbolts 4s, 1 USB Type-C and 1 headphone/microphone combo.

Overall, the Omnibook Ultra Flip is a compact 2-in-1 Laptop that looks great, offers usage versatility and feels easy to handle. HP has very evidently designed this for people who are always on the move.

HP OmniBook Ultra Flip – Display and Keyboard

HP OmniBook Ultra Flip sports a 14-inch 2.8K OLED touch display, which comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. We found the display sharp and vibrant right from the start. The colours pop out in this OLED panel with a sharp resolution of 2880 x 1800. The visuals appear stunningly rich and it gives an immersive experience.

The colour reproduction is excellent, thanks to the 100% of both the DCI-P3 and sRGB colour spaces. And with 500nits of brightness, this display works decently well even outdoors. The touch feels smooth and handles everyday tasks such as scrolling or navigation well. We didn’t face any significant lags and hangups. The 120Hz high refresh rate keeps responsiveness effortless.

Being a 360-degree versatile 2-in-1 laptop, it comes with some of the best viewing angles we have seen in laptops recently.

The chiclet-style keyboard isn’t personally our favourite since we type a lot. The keys are quite mushy and require more force to press. So, if your work requires a lot more typing or you are into gaming, we would recommend you consider this aspect once before making any decision when it comes to buying a laptop.

HP OmniBook Ultra Flip – Performance, Features and Battery

The brand marketing for the HP OmniBook Ultra Flip is focused on working professionals, freelancers or creators. To cater to this demographic, efficiency is where the machine scores well. Our review unit came with 32GB of LPPDR5x RAM and 1TB of PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD configuration. We had a smooth sailing in every task. Multitasking on this laptop was also a breeze and we hardly noticed any significant fallback or overheating.

While it is not particularly a machine designed for gaming, we did try our hands in some of the basic games. The experience was much better than we initially expected it to be. It managed graphic-heavy games on low settings pretty well.

HP is not falling behind the AI trend. Apart from the dedicated Co-Pilot button, you will also notice a new AI tag on the Omnibook Ultra Flip. The laptop comes with a bunch of AI-powered tools that can help simplify some tasks such as Photo or video editing. There is also the HP AI Companion app that does what many AI-powered tools promise. Some of the features of this app include summarising long articles, generating content, answering user queries using natural language processing and optimising the laptop’s performance.

We ran some common benchmark tests on the laptop. On Geekbench, it managed 1526 on single-core and 9146 on multi-core performance. Here are the results.

Screenshot_19-1-2025_44144_browser.geekbench.com_11zon

The battery life is very impressive. We were able to make it through a full workday with some creative work, video streaming and a little bit of gaming, all on a single charge.

Verdict – Should You Buy HP OmniBook Ultra Flip?

HP OmniBook Ultra Flip should be your choice if you are looking for a sleek convertible laptop that delivers on battery and overall performance. While the brand is pushing the laptop on its AI abilities, it is the overall performance where this one should be considered. The AI features are good and can be helpful but they are still on a very basic level.

One of the biggest points in favour of this laptop is its versatile design that gives flexibility to users to use it in multiple ways. The stunning display and Intel Core Ultra 7 258V (8C) ensures that you get an overall good experience. The price does seem on the higher side but in case that is not a constraint, we say you could consider HP OmniBook Ultra Flip before your next upgrade.

Reason To Buy

Good design
Nice display
Great battery backup

Reasons Not To Buy

Limited ports
Basic AI feature performance

Apple has made a significant leap in India’s smartphone market capturing a 9-10% share in the fourth quarter of 2024, according to preliminary data from IDC and Counterpoint Research. The Cupertino Giant has entered the top five smartphone brands in India for the first time, thanks to growing demand for its premium devices.

The festive season of 2024 played a key role in Apple’s success. Aggressive pricing strategies, including festive discounts, no-cost EMIs of up to 24 months and attractive deals on e-commerce platforms, helped the brand appeal to a broader audience.

While the new AI-powered iPhone 16 series generated plenty of excitement, Apple’s older models like the iPhone 15 and iPhone 13 also sold remarkably well.

Research Director at Counterpoint Tarun Pathak said, “With increasing disposable income and aspirational purchases among the growing middle class, especially the youth, Apple has become the brand of choice for young consumers. Beyond tier 2 cities, the iPhone represents more than just a smartphone – it’s a lifestyle statement.”

Apple shipped over 12 million iPhones in India in 2024, marking a staggering 34-35% year-on-year growth compared to 9 million units in 2023. This growth cements Apple’s position as a rising star in India’s cost-sensitive smartphone market.

Apple has managed this feat despite competition from Chinese smartphone makers like Vivo and Huawei, who continue to dominate with affordable Android options. Its ability to blend premium features with aspirational branding has helped it stand out in a crowded market.

India has now become Apple’s fifth-largest market and could climb to the third spot by 2026. Experts predict the company will sell around 15 million iPhones annually in India by then mainly due to expanding manufacturing footprint in the country.

FAQs

Q1. What market share did Apple capture in India’s smartphone market in Q4 2024?

Answer. Apple captured a 9-10% share in India’s smartphone market in the fourth quarter of 2024, entering the top five smartphone brands for the first time.

Apple Plans to Solve iPhone 17 Heating Issues with Vapour Chamber Cooling

Highlights

Apple plans to address iPhone 17 thermal issues by introducing vapour chamber cooling.
New tech will be used across both Pro and non-Pro models.

Apple is reportedly making a big move to address thermal issues in the iPhone 17 series by introducing vapour chamber cooling across both Pro and non-Pro models.

Heat is a key factor in smartphone performance. If a device overheats, it can cause the processor to throttle, leading to slow performance, lag and even freezing. Overheating also speeds up battery wear and shortens the phone’s lifespan.

Apple’s decision to switch to vapour chamber cooling reflects its focus on improving thermal efficiency in the next generation of iPhones.

How Vapour Chamber Cooling Works?

All iPhones currently rely on traditional heat sinks made from highly conductive metals to manage heat. However, Vapour chamber cooling works differently.

Vapur champer technology uses a sealed liquid that vaporises when heated moving through a chamber to spread the heat evenly. The vapour then condenses back into liquid repeating the cycle. This system dissipates heat more efficiently while taking up minimal space and it doesn’t require extra components like fans.

The benefits of vapour chamber cooling are much more than just better heat management. This tech is crucial for maintaining performance and extending device life as processors are becoming more and more faster along with faster charging speeds.

This is especially important for the A19 Pro chipset, which is rumoured to power the iPhone 17 Pro models. Reports suggest it will reach clock speeds of up to 5GHz making effective cooling essential.

The industry expert and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously predicted that vapour chamber cooling would be exclusive to the iPhone 17 Pro Max due to its demanding chipset. However, more recent updates now indicate that Apple will include this technology across the entire iPhone 17 lineup.

FAQs

Q1. What technology is Apple using to address iPhone 17 thermal issues?

Answer. Apple is introducing vapour chamber cooling across both Pro and non-Pro models of the iPhone 17 to address thermal issues.

Q2. How does vapour chamber cooling benefit smartphone performance?

Answer. Vapour chamber cooling helps manage heat efficiently, preventing processor throttling, lag, and battery wear, which is crucial for maintaining performance and extending device life.

Q3. Will vapour chamber cooling be exclusive to any specific iPhone 17 models?

Answer. Initially expected for Pro Max models, vapour chamber cooling will now be included in the entire iPhone 17 lineup, benefiting all users.

In business, one man’s loss is often another’s gain. TikTok might be soon winding up its operations in the US but this is surely a situation full of opportunities for competing apps. First, we heard about the Chinese app Rednote reaping some benefits, now Instagram is trying its best to give users what they might be missing once TikTok is banned. In a perfectly timed move, Instagram has just announced two new features for Reels in the US. Here’s what’s new.

New Ways to Engage on Instagram Reels

With TikTok’s availability in the US set to end this weekend, Instagram appears ready to welcome a potential influx of new users. To strengthen Reels (its short-form video feature and TikTok rival), Instagram is rolling out two fresh updates:

See What Your Friends Like

Instagram is making it easier to discover what your friends and followers are engaging with on Reels. At the top-right corner of the Reels tab, you’ll now see content your friends have liked or added notes to.

Start Conversations Effortlessly

A new reply bar will appear on Reels, allowing users to start conversations around the content they enjoy. This opens up more opportunities for your Reels to be noticed by people who don’t follow you yet.

Instagram shared, “We’re making it easier to see and engage with the content your friends are liking (or adding a note to) on reels at the top right corner of the Reels tab.”

These changes also make it possible to interact with friends’ activity on a Reel. For example, if a friend likes a video, you’ll have the option to reply to their like directly—creating more ways to connect and engage socially.

With TikTok’s US ban looming, Instagram could see significant growth in Reels usage.

Meta seems poised to capitalise on this moment and it wouldn’t be surprising to see even more updates for Reels in the near future. For Instagram, this could be a rare chance to cement its dominance in short-form video content.

FAQs

Q1. What new feature has Instagram introduced to enhance engagement on Reels?

Answer. Instagram has introduced a new feature that allows users to see what their friends and followers have liked or added notes to on Reels, making it easier to discover engaging content.

Q2. How can users start conversations on Instagram Reels with the new update?

Answer. Instagram has added a new reply bar on Reels, allowing users to start conversations around the content they enjoy, which opens up more opportunities for Reels to be noticed by a wider audience.

Q3. Why is Instagram introducing these new features for Reels now?

Answer. With the potential ban of TikTok in the US, Instagram aims to attract new users and strengthen its position in the short-form video market by rolling out these updates at a strategically timed moment.

Grand Theft Auto 6 leaked footage of a police chase recently sparked excitement and discussions about its next-gen realism. Though Rockstar Games removed the video later, fans are still talking about the impressive details it revealed.

In the leaked clip, a player is shown shooting at police cars from the back of a truck leading. The police car later hits a street sign and a bollard causing its bumper to slide across the street before hitting a curb.

If the leaked footage is any indication, it is clear that Rockstar is aiming for gameplay that matches cinematic cutscenes with real-time action for a more immersive and realistic experience. While the leak has excited fans, some caution that these details may be from scripted moments and it can surely be known how they will play out into actual gameplay.

In other news, Rockstar has shut down the Liberty City Preservation Project, a fan-made mod for GTA 5 that aimed to recreate Liberty City from GTA 4.

The mod included a fully functional subway system and realistic traffic but was removed following a request from Rockstar.

This isn’t the first time Rockstar has taken action against mods. Similar takedowns have targeted fan projects for games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Vice City recreated within GTA 5. The company’s strict stance on mods highlights its commitment to controlling the way its games are experienced.

FAQs

Nintendo has officially shared the first details of the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 in a video posted on the Nintendo of America YouTube channel. The video showcases exciting updates to the gaming console’s design, features and compatibility.

Here’s everything we know so far.

Nintendo Switch 2 Teaser

The teaser released on YouTube shows the Nintendo Switch 2 is larger than the original and features a rumoured 8.4-inch OLED display with thinner bezels for a modern look. The updated Joy-Cons are slightly bigger and attach magnetically.

A new button has been added to the right Joy-Con, near the home button, and both controllers now include extra triggers on the back, near the L/R buttons.

Similar to the original, the Joy-Cons can be combined into a traditional gamepad using a controller grip.

The console’s layout feels familiar, with power and volume buttons on the top left, cooling vents in the centre, a headphone jack, and two USB-C ports—one on the bottom and another on the right. The back features a redesigned U-shaped kickstand, offering more flexibility for positioning.

Nintendo also revealed a redesigned dock for the Switch 2 and confirmed the arrival of a new Mario Kart game, likely the long-awaited Mario Kart 9. Fans have been eager for a new instalment since Mario Kart 8 launched in 2014.

Market Reaction

Despite the excitement for the Switch 2 teaser, Nintendo’s stock dropped by 5.9% in Tokyo on Friday, marking its largest single-day decline since late September.
