A 2-in-1 has challenged the Surface Pro 11, but not how you might think

  • Microsoft Surface Pro 11 is the epitome of detachable 2-in-1 laptops, but HP’s OmniBook Ultra Flip 14, a 360-degree convertible laptop, based on Intel’s new Core Ultra Series 2 chips, may be better than the Surface Pro 11.
  • OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 costs $1,450 for an Intel Core Ultra 5 226V chipset, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and a 14.0-inch 2.8K OLED display, which is the only option. It’s currently $400 off, making the base model more affordable at $1,050; fully configured, it costs $1,900 with a Core Ultra 7 258V, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD.
  • On the other hand, the Surface Pro 11 starts at $1,000 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus chipset, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and a 13.0-inch 2.8K IPS display. With 32GB and 1TB SSD, the cost is $2,100.
  • The OmniBook is thicker as a tablet and weighs more than the Surface Pro 11 without its keyboard, but they’re both well-built machines and two of the best examples of their types. The Surface Pro 11 has a flip-out keyboard that allows it to function effectively as a clamshell when paired with the keyboard. The OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 has an excellent keyboard with large keycaps and a full-size layout that's extremely comfortable, and the Surface Pro 11's keyboard is also very good but comes with a slightly cramped layout.
  • Both 2-in-1s use brand-new chipsets, but the Surface Pro 11's Qualcomm Snapdragon X provides faster performance than the Intel Lunar Lake chipsets in the OmniBook Ultra Flip 14. However, these laptops are fast enough for demanding productivity users but do not have integrated graphics that are fast enough for gaming or creative applications.
  • The Surface Pro 11 is available with a choice between OLED and IPS displays, both 13.0-inch 2.8K (2880 x 1800) running at 120Hz. The OmniBook comes with just one option, a 14.0-inch 2.8K OLED panel running at a fast 120Hz. The Surface Pro 11’s display is considerably sharper; we reviewed both with OLED displays, and the Surface Pro 11’s version was much brighter while the OmniBook’s had wider and slightly more accurate colours.
  • By itself, the Surface Pro 11 is lighter and thinner than the OmniBook Ultra Flip 14; however, when the keyboard is added, the two are nearly identical. Although both are highly portable, the Surface Pro 11 gets better battery life, taking the lead in this comparison of 2-in-1s.
  • In conclusion, the HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 is a great example of a convertible 2-in-1 laptop that's well-built, looks great, has an excellent keyboard and touchpad, and an awesome OLED display -- and it’s less expensive than the Surface Pro 11. However, the Surface Pro 11 is faster, and it gets better battery life, which makes it slightly better than the OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 in this comparison.
