If you’re looking for a new laptop, this Memorial Day deal on the HP OmniBook 5 Flip is the one to pick, with $350 off

I’ve been hunting high and low for the best Memorial Day deals, and I’ve come across some great ones – but one in particular stood out to me this year. At Best Buy, the new HP OmniBook 5 Flip is on sale for just $449.99 (was $799.99) – a stonking $350 discount on a recently-released laptop.

It’s so recent, in fact, that we haven’t even reviewed it yet. But I’ve had some hands-on experience with this particular laptop, so I can say with confidence that it’s a solid pick. Sporting a new Intel Core 5 processor and 8GB of RAM, it’s a versatile work laptop with a lot to offer.

The OmniBook 5 Flip has a 14-inch 2K touchscreen, and can flip (hence the name!) into a tablet orientation, perfect for presenting or even kicking back to watch some videos after a long day at work or school. At $450, it’s one of the best-value productivity laptops I’ve seen in ages.

Today’s best HP OmniBook 5 Flip deal

To be clear, this isn’t one of the best gaming laptops – it’ll run some low-intensity titles, so if you want to get stuck into some Stardew Valley after work you’ll be fine, but don’t expect high-end gaming performance here.

Still, it’s a fantastic ultrabook, and a strong choice for anyone looking for a productivity machine. If you need a fast, compact, and sensibly-priced laptop for daily tasks like writing emails, working on assignments, and browsing the web, the OmniBook 5 Flip is a worthwhile pick.
