The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers an OLED display with high color accuracy, making it better for tasks that require exceptional visual detail like photo editing, while the HP 15" Laptop has an IPS display that is sufficient for general use. If portability is a priority, the HP is less portable due to being slightly larger and heavier than the ASUS. The ASUS has a better battery life, providing longer use away from a power source. When it comes to performance, the ASUS's processor is more capable for intensive tasks, whereas the HP, with a more basic processor, is adequate for everyday activities but not for heavy multitasking or demanding applications. If budget is a concern, the HP offers a more affordable option with decent performance for general use, but it falls short for more demanding engineering or 3D/machine learning tasks, which the ASUS can handle more effectively.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 to be good for general use, while the HP 15" Laptop is only fair.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers a superior CPU, better screen quality with its OLED display, and longer battery life, making it well-suited for demanding tasks and media consumption, but at the cost of being slightly less portable due to its heavier weight compared to the HP 15" Laptop, which on the other hand, offers a more modest CPU and screen quality but gains in portability with its lighter weight and larger screen, suited for those who prioritize a bigger display and carrying comfort over higher performance and visuals.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 to be only fair for gaming and AI, while the HP 15" Laptop is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers respectable gaming and 3D performance due to its i5 processor with the Iris Xe integrated GPU and a higher screen refresh rate of 90Hz, leading to smoother visuals and gameplay, complemented by a high quality OLED display. In contrast, the HP 15" Laptop, while also providing fair performance for gaming and 3D tasks due to its i3 processor and UHD integrated GPU, is held back by a lower 60Hz screen refresh rate and lacks the higher screen quality of the ASUS, featuring an IPS panel with lower color coverage and brightness.

Marc Herter | July 2022
"The Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED is a Pantone Validated laptop that packs a lot of processing power. The Asus VivoBook Pro 14 OLED's highlight is its outstanding display: Featuring a 3K resolution in the 16:10 format and nearly a 100% coverage of the Display P3 color space, the display hardly leaves anything to be desired. The Asus laptop also shows impeccable rates in terms of general system performance. Combined with long battery life, low noise emissions, and relatively good speakers, the laptop can be recommended to users who can accept compromises in terms of connectivity."

"Chances are high that the HP 15 is one of the first laptops to pop up when you search for an inexpensive notebook. Indeed, its price tag is very tempting for many, and of course, this is the reason for its popularity. However, the HP 15" suffers from poor performance due to low power consumption. On the bright side, one of the good things about it is the port selection. On the inside, this includes two SODIMM slots for memory, an M.2 PCIe x4 slot for storage, and a SATA drive bay. However, the TN panel, and mediocre input devices are not ideal."
