If you prefer versatility and a lighter device for everyday use and mobility, consider the HP Envy x360 15" due to its 2-in-1 convertible nature, allowing it to function as both a laptop and tablet. The Envy also tends to be somewhat less expensive. However, if you require more power for tasks such as gaming, 3D design, or more intensive engineering software, the HP Victus 15 with its stronger graphics card might be the better option, though it is somewhat more expensive and heavier, making it less portable. Keep in mind that the Victus also offers a higher refresh rate display which is beneficial for smooth visuals in gaming or video playback. Give Feedback

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."

"The HP Victus 15 is great for gaming. It's available with Intel 12th Gen. CPUs and NVIDIA discrete graphics, which are powerful enough to provide a smooth gaming experience in demanding AAA titles at 1080p. It has a nice keyboard and a fast SSD, as well as Wi-Fi 6 and Ethernet connectivity for low-latency online gaming. Unfortunately, its 144Hz display has a slow response time causing noticeable ghosting, and it doesn't support variable refresh rate to reduce screen tearing."
