When choosing between the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED and the HP Spectre x360 14, consider the higher cost of the HP as an investment in versatility due to its 2-in-1 convertible design, which can be useful if you want a tablet experience. The ASUS might be more budget-friendly and it offers an OLED screen which is great for vibrant colors and contrast; however, the HP's build quality and stylus support can be a plus for creative or business use. If you need longer battery life and a lightweight laptop, the HP generally offers more mobility, but if you're focused on visual tasks and cost-savings, the ASUS could be the better choice.

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."

"The numbers don’t lie — the HP Spectre x360 14 (2024) is a star, and a hell of a one at that. From performance to battery life, this machine is a dream. But why didn’t I give it a perfect score? Well, I wish the display performed better and that there were more ports to go around. If you’re itching for someone a little cheaper that offers a brighter display and significantly more battery life, I can only recommend the MacBook Pro 14 as a suitable substitute. Otherwise, the HP Spectre x360 14 (2024) is the perfect choice for those who want a reliable premium laptop."
