The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is less expensive, lighter, and has an OLED screen with high contrast and bold colors, making it great for general use and watching videos. However, if you need a laptop for more demanding tasks, like 3D rendering, machine learning or intensive engineering software, the HP Spectre x360 with its more powerful processor and double the RAM and storage could be a better fit. The HP also has a touchscreen with a higher resolution, longer battery life, and a more solid build quality, but it is heavier and costlier. Both have similar connectivity options but the HP offers additional features like facial recognition. Give Feedback

The HP Spectre x360 is very good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is good.
The HP Spectre x360 excels in general use due to its more powerful i7 processor, larger RAM, and better battery life, as well as its higher screen resolution with touch capabilities which may enhance user experience, despite being slightly heavier and larger than the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14. Conversely, the Vivobook's OLED screen may offer richer colors and it is lighter, which adds to its portability, but it is hindered by a less capable i5 processor, smaller RAM, and shorter battery life, making it less suited for demanding tasks.

"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."

"As we said, Lenovo's Yoga 9i is a tough competitor to the Spectre with an equally admirable OLED display. We're sad that neither of them has an HDMI port nor a niche or slot to hold the stylus, though the HP wins points for its bundled mini docking station and magnetically attached pen. Your choice will come down to screen shape—and in our eyes, just as seeing an OLED screen spoils you for an IPS panel, enjoying a tall 3:2 display spoils you for a more conventional view. The HP Spectre x360 13.5 is our new favorite 2-in-1."
