If you prioritize gaming performance and don't mind a larger and heavier laptop, the ASUS TUF Gaming F17 with its dedicated Nvidia GPU is better suited for you, but it has a shorter battery life. On the other hand, if you prefer a more portable device with longer battery life and a touchscreen, ideal for general use and casual creative tasks, go for the HP Envy x360 15". Remember, the HP Envy may struggle with more intensive engineering and 3D tasks due to its integrated GPU, where the ASUS would excel thanks to its superior graphics capabilities. Give Feedback

NotebookCheck
Christian Hintze | April 2022
"One of the Asus TUF Gaming F17’s highlights is without a doubt its excellent gaming performance. The fact that Asus configured the RTX 3060 GPU for its specified maximum of 140 W is became immediately noticeable in our benchmarks. For a 17-inch notebook the F17 also offers a very long battery life, which makes it somewhat portable. On the flip side is the display. It may be saved by its good overall contrast ratio, but its overall brightness is simply too low, and its response times are too slow for a gaming device. The F17’s successor needs to improve upon this."

"Despite its good looks, stellar webcam and comfortable keyboard, the Envy x360 15 is hard to recommend because of its dim, 16:9 display. If the display isn't an issue for you, just be sure to wait for a good sale price. Otherwise, a more modern two-in-one with a 16:10 display such as the Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 or Lenovo Yoga 7i 16 provides a larger workspace without adding much to the size and weight of the system."
