HP EliteBook X Flip G2i launches globally with premium specs, OLED display options, and a high-end price tag
HP has introduced the EliteBook X Flip G2i to global markets, positioning the 14-inch convertible laptop as a premium business device with high-end configuration options, OLED touchscreen displays, and optional mobile connectivity.
In the United States, the HP EliteBook X Flip G2i starts at $2,692. The entry-level configuration includes an Intel Core Ultra 5 325 processor, a 68 Wh battery, 24 GB of RAM, a 512 GB SSD, and a 1200p OLED touchscreen. However, this base display is limited to 300 nits of peak brightness, which may feel modest compared with the brighter panels available on higher-tier models. HP lists this configuration with a reported MSRP of $3,847.
One notable pricing detail is the operating system choice. Buyers who switch from Windows 11 Pro to FreeDOS can save $227 across all configurations, making it a useful option for users or businesses planning to install their own operating system.
Availability outside the United States is currently more limited. In Europe, HP is offering configurations based on the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor. A model equipped with 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD, and a 1800p OLED display rated at 500 nits is priced at €3,254 in the Eurozone and £2,543.99 in the United Kingdom. In the US, a similar configuration costs $3,887, with a listed MSRP of $5,553.
For buyers who want the most powerful version, the EliteBook X Flip G2i can be configured with up to an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor, 64 GB of RAM, and a 1 TB PCIe Gen 5 x4 SSD. HP also offers premium extras such as NFC support and 5G cellular connectivity, making the laptop more appealing for professionals who need secure wireless features and reliable mobile productivity.
The display options are among the most interesting parts of the EliteBook X Flip G2i lineup. In addition to the lower-brightness OLED panels, HP offers a 14-inch 1800p Tandem OLED display with up to 700 nits of brightness. This premium panel also supports 100% DCI-P3 color coverage and a 120 Hz variable refresh rate, making it suitable for users who want smoother visuals, stronger brightness, and more accurate colors.
Fully configured, the HP EliteBook X Flip G2i reaches $5,766, with a listed MSRP of $8,238. That places it firmly in the ultra-premium business laptop category, aimed at executives, enterprise users, and professionals who need a convertible laptop with strong performance, high memory capacity, OLED visuals, and optional 5G connectivity.
Overall, the EliteBook X Flip G2i is shaping up to be one of HP’s most advanced 14-inch business convertibles, but its pricing makes it a serious investment. Buyers looking for a sleek 2-in-1 laptop with Intel Core Ultra performance, premium OLED display options, and enterprise-focused features may find it appealing, especially if they can take advantage of HP’s discounted pricing compared with the listed MSRP.
