The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is a more budget-friendly and lighter option, making it easier to carry around. However, the HP Envy x360 15" has a larger screen size, a more powerful processor, and a touch screen, offering a better experience for intensive tasks and potentially more versatility. The HP Envy also comes with a better battery life, contributing to longer use on a single charge. If superior performance and a touch screen are important for you and you're willing to pay more, go for the HP Envy. If you prefer something more cost-effective and portable, the ASUS Vivobook might be the better fit. Give Feedback

The HP Envy x360 15" has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 for content creation, and software development.
For general use, both the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 and the HP Envy x360 15" offer screens with sufficient resolution and brightness to handle everyday tasks, though they might lack the premium panel technology that offers wider viewing angles and better color reproduction. When it comes to engineering and design work, where accurate color representation is crucial, these laptops may fall short as they likely do not cover the broader color gamuts that professionals look for in a display. For gaming and 3D applications, the importance of a high refresh rate for smooth motion is not addressed by these models, and while they may have adequate resolution and panel type, the lack of quick refresh might detract from the experience.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers HP Envy x360 15" to be only fair for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 has a less powerful AMD Radeon 610M GPU and a lower-tier AMD Ryzen 3 CPU, which makes it less suitable for gaming and 3D tasks compared to the HP Envy x360 15", which benefits from a slightly stronger integrated AMD Ryzen 5 Vega 7 GPU and a better AMD Ryzen 5 CPU. Additionally, both have screens with basic refresh rates and similar screen quality, but the performance gap in GPU and CPU capabilities gives the HP an edge for these specific uses.

"The lack of a backlit keyboard in this price segment shouldn't sway the buyer the other way. However, it still comes down to user preference. The Vivobook Go 14 is a decent laptop in an extremely competitive price segment. A few omissions are a part of the balancing to reach the price segment. The Asus Vivobook Go 14 is a rare find when it comes to the price to performance ratio."

Matt Elliott | January 2023
"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."
