The HP Envy x360 15" is less expensive, has a touch screen, and boasts better battery life, making it suitable for general use with moderate portability. However, its performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, and intensive gaming is lower, and it has less storage and RAM. Conversely, the HP Omen 17 contains more powerful components, like a high-end graphics card and processor, along with a larger and higher resolution screen, making it well-suited for intensive engineering tasks, gaming, and 3D/machine learning applications. This comes at a higher cost, heavier weight, and lower battery life, thus reducing its portability. Give Feedback

The HP Omen 17 has a better screen than the HP Envy x360 15" for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The HP Envy x360's screen might suit general use with decent resolution and brightness, but it falls short for engineering and design due to limited color gamut coverage, and it's not ideal for gaming or 3D work because of its lower refresh rate. Conversely, the HP Omen 17's display provides a sharp and bright viewing experience for general use and a wider color gamut that benefits engineering and design tasks, but it doesn't offer the high refresh rate gamers or 3D designers need for smooth visuals. Both laptops trade off certain screen features, making the Envy x360 more suited for casual, everyday tasks and the Omen 17 more fitting for tasks demanding better color accuracy, though neither is optimized for high-refresh-rate demands of modern gaming and 3D applications.

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."

Marc Herter | September 2022
"The HP Omen 17 (2022) gaming laptop has a stylish case and hardware with lots of potential. The HP Omen 17 is a fairly unobtrusive gaming laptop. A material combination of plastic and metal gives the case a high stability and a quality surface feel. The unspectacular design is pleasing and is hardly indicative of the laptop's high performance potential. The Intel Core i7-12700H in particular is able to perform well once again. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is also strong in the gaming notebook. Demanding games run smoothly in Full HD resolution. The HP Omen 17 is a good gaming laptop that delivers partly excellent performance. But even at this performance level, cheaper alternatives are available."
