The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers an OLED screen for crisp, vibrant colors and is lighter for enhanced portability, making it a good choice if visual quality and carrying your laptop around are priorities. On the other hand, the HP Envy x360 15 has a larger screen, a touchscreen for added flexibility, and a slightly better battery life, which may be beneficial for productivity tasks and for those who prefer writing or drawing directly on their screen. Both laptops offer similar performance capabilities for general use, but they may not be the best fit for heavy gaming or intensive engineering software due to their integrated GPUs. Give Feedback

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."

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."
