The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED offers better display quality with an OLED screen and higher resolution, which is ideal for professionals in visual media, photography, or design due to its color accuracy and contrast. It is also more portable with longer battery life, suited for those frequently on the move. However, it comes at a higher price point. On the other hand, the HP Envy x360 15" may not match the ASUS in screen quality but comes at a lower price and includes a numeric keypad which could be useful for accounting or data entry tasks. The HP also has a larger screen and its 2-in-1 design with touchscreen capabilities adds versatility for presentations or artistic endeavors, but it's heavier and has a shorter battery life which can be a downside for travel. If you prefer higher performance and portability for general use and professional tasks, and can stretch your budget, the ASUS might suit you best. In contrast, if you're looking for affordability, a larger touchscreen, and versatility, especially for presentations and artistic use, the HP could be the right choice. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is good for engineering and design, while the HP Envy x360 15" is only fair.
The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is superior for engineering and design due to its high-quality OLED screen with a higher resolution, which is beneficial for detailed work, and a more powerful Intel i5 processor to handle complex computations, compared to the HP Envy x360 15" which has an IPS screen with standard resolution and an AMD Ryzen 5 processor that offers lesser performance for engineering applications. While the HP Envy is lighter and has a slightly larger screen, the overall build and performance of the ASUS make it better suited for the demands of engineering and design tasks.

The ASUS Zenbook 14X 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 Zenbook 14X OLED stands out for general use and engineering/design tasks due to its OLED display, offering vibrant colors, deep blacks, and high resolution that make visuals pop and provide accurate color representation essential for design work. On the other hand, for gaming and 3D applications, its screen falls short as OLED panels typically have lower refresh rates, which is less ideal for the fast-paced visuals in gaming. The HP Envy x360's screen has lower overall quality but still offers a decent resolution and acceptable color reproduction for everyday and professional tasks, although it too isn't tailored for gaming, lacking the high refresh rates that gamers seek.

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."

"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."
