Are These 2-in-1 Laptop Deals Worth It?
These current 2-in-1 laptop deals bring several HP OmniBook convertibles and a Lenovo Yoga 2-in-1 down to mid-range prices while still offering modern processors, 2K touchscreens, and 360-degree hinges, making them strong options for budget touchscreen laptops that need to handle everyday work, study, and light creative use without feeling sluggish. In short: the discounts are meaningful, and the spec-to-price balance is solid if you want an all-round convertible rather than a gaming or heavy workstation machine. Here are the headline numbers: the HP OmniBook 5 Flip entry model is now USD 529.99 (approx. RM2,430) after USD 370 (approx. RM1,695) off, the Core 7 version sits at USD 679.99 (approx. RM3,120) with USD 120 (approx. RM550) off, the HP OmniBook X Flip is USD 999.99 (approx. RM4,590) down USD 400 (approx. RM1,840), and the Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 is USD 799.99 (approx. RM3,670) after a USD 200 (approx. RM920) discount.
HP OmniBook 5 Flip: Entry-Level and Core 7 Deals
The HP OmniBook 5 Flip is a 14-inch convertible laptop that aims squarely at budget touchscreen users, with all current configurations using a 2K (1920×1200) IPS touchscreen and a 360-degree hinge for laptop, tablet, and tent modes. The entry HP OmniBook 5 Flip deal brings an Intel Core 3 100U, 8GB memory, and a 256GB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD to USD 529.99 (approx. RM2,430) after USD 370 (approx. RM1,695) off, making it one of the more appealing low-cost convertible laptop discounts for students and remote workers who focus on everyday tasks. It even includes an HP USB-C Rechargeable MPP2.0 pen for note-taking and sketching. If you can stretch the budget, the upgraded OmniBook 5 Flip configuration with an Intel Core 7 150U, 16GB LPDDR5 memory, and a 512GB SSD is now USD 679.99 (approx. RM3,120) after a USD 120 (approx. RM550) discount. This bumps performance to a more comfortable level for heavier multitasking and gives you better long-term headroom while keeping weight at 3.64 lbs and thickness at 0.73 inches. A rated battery life of up to 21 hours and 30 minutes of video playback plus USB-C and HDMI 2.1 ports sweeten the deal for hybrid workers.
HP OmniBook X Flip: AI-Capable Mid-Range Convertible
The HP OmniBook X Flip sits higher up the stack but still benefits from one of the stronger HP OmniBook deals this week. Powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 — an 8-core, 16-thread chip that boosts to 5.0 GHz — combined with 16GB of LPDDR5x-7500 memory, a 512GB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD, and AMD Radeon 860M graphics, it is designed for heavier productivity, AI-assisted workflows, and light content creation. This configuration currently sits at USD 999.99 (approx. RM4,590), down USD 400 (approx. RM1,840), which is a fair price for the mix of performance, storage, and modern features. You still get a 14-inch 2K IPS touchscreen with Gorilla Glass 3 at 400 nits of brightness, a 5MP IR webcam for secure logins, a backlit keyboard, and a 360-degree hinge that supports frequent shifts between laptop and tablet use. Battery life is a highlight: HP rates it at up to 14 hours and 15 minutes of general use and up to 19 hours and 30 minutes of video playback, with fast charging to around 50% in about 30 minutes. Generous ports, including HDMI 2.1 and USB-C with DisplayPort 2.1, make this convertible a strong single-device solution for work and study.
Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1: Big-Screen Copilot+ PC Under $800
If you prefer a larger display, the Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 focuses on a 16-inch 2K touchscreen and a 360-degree hinge on a Copilot+ PC platform with an Intel Core Ultra 5, 16GB of memory, and a 512GB SSD. This Luna Grey model now sells for USD 799.99 (approx. RM3,670), which is USD 200 (approx. RM920) below its list price. For students, hybrid workers, and light creatives, the combination of size, specs, and convertible design makes it one of the more practical Lenovo Yoga 2-in-1 options at this price. The 1920×1200 panel supports Dolby Vision and TUV Low Blue Light certification, and the onboard NPU clears 40+ TOPS for AI-assisted workloads. Yoga Pen support adds pressure- and tilt-sensitive input for sketching and annotating documents, and the 71WHr battery is rated for up to 15 hours of video playback with Rapid Charge Express for quick top-ups between meetings or classes. If you want a single device to handle note-taking, content editing, and presentations without extra gear, this deal is compelling.
