The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED offers superior performance with a higher-end processor, ample storage, and more RAM, which makes it better for intensive tasks like engineering, 3D rendering, or machine learning. Its OLED display would also provide better color accuracy and contrast for such work. However, it is less portable due to its heavier design and shorter battery life. In contrast, the HP Envy x360 15 is more budget-friendly, lighter, has a longer battery life, and includes a touchscreen. It's a more portable choice and suitable for general usage or studies, but isn't as well-equipped for demanding applications. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED has a better screen than the HP Envy x360 15" for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED screen delivers vibrant colors and deep blacks due to its OLED technology, making it ideal for engineering and design tasks that require a wide color gamut and high resolution but falls short for gaming since it likely has a standard refresh rate. The HP Envy x360 15" has a fair screen quality suitable for casual use and non-critical design work, as its display may not match the color fidelity and contrast of OLED displays. However, neither laptop's screen is geared towards gaming or 3D applications, where a high refresh rate is crucial to avoid motion blur and provide smoother visuals.

Darragh Murphy | November 2022
"The Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED excels as a capable work machine at an affordable price. It offers commendable performance, thanks to its 12th Gen Intel chip, delivers quality on-screen entertainment with its 15.6-inch OLED display, and can (kind of) get you through a full day of work. Oh, and its special Asus Antibacterial Guard is a nice touch for those who like a clean laptop."

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."
