The Dell Latitude 5530, at a higher price range, offers more RAM, making it better for tasks requiring more memory, but it is heavier and lacks a touchscreen compared to the HP Envy x360. The HP Envy, more affordable, includes a touchscreen and higher portability with a slightly better battery life but has less RAM, potentially limiting performance for demanding tasks. If your use involves general computing, the HP could serve you well at a lower cost. However, if you're engaging in more RAM-intensive work like engineering applications, the extra investment in the Dell might be justified despite the added weight and absence of a touchscreen.

The Dell Latitude 5530 and the HP Envy x360 15" have similar screen quality.
For general use, both laptops offer satisfactory visuals for activities like browsing and video playback, but they may lack the sharpness and clarity from higher resolutions or the vibrancy from more premium displays. In engineering and design, users may find the color reproduction adequate for less demanding work but not ideal for precise color work requiring a wide color gamut. When it comes to 3D tasks and gaming, the screens don't refresh as quickly as dedicated gaming laptops, potentially leading to less smooth visuals during fast-paced action or rendering.

CNET
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."
