How they stack up

HP OmniBook X Flip 16

Reviewers note it undercuts the Lenovo Yoga 7i while matching or beating its OLED. It does not match the build polish or battery life of the premium Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1, HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 or Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360, but it is the cheapest way into a big OLED convertible here.

Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition (Gen 10)

The Yoga 9i 2-in-1 is the premium all-rounder, with a better keyboard and rotating soundbar hinge than the HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14, and a brighter 1,100-nit OLED than the Lenovo Yoga 7i or HP OmniBook X Flip 16. It is smaller (14-inch) than the 16-inch Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360, and its battery life rivals the Samsung's, but it costs less than that Samsung while out-finishing the cheaper Yoga 7i.
