The HP 17" Laptop has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook 17 for general use, engineering and design, and content creation.
For general use, both the ASUS Vivobook 17 and the HP 17" Laptop offer screens that meet basic requirements, ensuring decent visibility and clarity due to their resolution and brightness, but may not stand out for high-demand applications. In engineering and design, the same screens may lack the wide color gamuts necessary for precise color work, affecting professionals who need accurate color representation for their projects. When it comes to 3D and gaming, the lower refresh rates of these laptops could hinder the smoothness of fast-paced visuals, and although the resolution and panel type are adequate, they don't match the standards set by specialized gaming displays.

Marvin Gollor | May 2022
"The ASUS Vivobook 17 is an affordable 17-inch laptop with passive cooling. On one hand, you get a really quiet and cool work device with a good system performance, many connections, good maintenance options, speakers acceptable for multimedia enjoyment, and a sharp and clear matte FHD IPS display with the Asus VivoBook 17 (F712JA). On the other hand, the USB-C port lacks Power Delivery and DisplayPort, and the display, a higher brightness and better color space coverage."
