Choosing between the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED and the HP 17" Laptop involves weighing your priorities. For instance, the ASUS provides a superior visual experience with its OLED screen, higher resolution, and faster refresh rate, which is excellent for design work or media consumption. It's also more portable due to its smaller size and longer battery life. On the other hand, the HP offers a larger screen which might be better for multitasking and has more RAM, which can be beneficial for demanding tasks and engineering software. However, it isn't as portable and has a shorter battery life compared to the ASUS. If budget is a concern, the HP generally costs less but keep in mind that it might not be as suitable for tasks requiring high color accuracy or graphics performance. Give Feedback

Matthew Buzzi | September 2023
"While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros."

"As far as starter laptops go, the HP Laptop 17 is a sound investment. Sure, it might not be the lightest of options, but what you get for the price is a well-rounded machine that fits multiple niches. Whether it be office duties that require you to multi-task between multiple programs, or study tasks in which you’ll spend hours browsing online, this laptop does it all. Plus, when it's time to unwind, you can watch your favorite shows or movies on a super-wide display. What's best of all is that you can do all this for about half a day on a single charge."
