Our Verdict
Apple MacBook Air 13 (2024)
HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 (2024)
The HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 (2024) and the Apple MacBook Air 13 (2024) are both premium ultraportables designed for general productivity tasks. Both laptops deliver an excellent user experience, so the choice comes down to personal preference. The OmniBook is more versatile since it's a 2-in-1 convertible you can use as a tablet, whereas the MacBook Air is a more traditional clamshell model. It also has a user-replaceable SSD, an additional USB-C port, and better external display support (the MacBook can only output to two external displays with the laptop closed). On the other hand, the MacBook Air is a fanless device, and its battery lasts a little longer. There are pros and cons with each laptop's display; the OmniBook's 120Hz OLED panel looks nicer, but it doesn't get as bright as the MacBook Air's, and it's susceptible to permanent burn-in, which the MacBook Air's IPS panel is immune to.
