The HP Envy x360 15" is usually less expensive and has a touchscreen with a standard 16:9 aspect ratio, but it comes with less storage and memory compared to the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro. The IdeaPad 5 Pro offers a higher resolution display, more memory, and a better dedicated graphics card which is beneficial for 3D work, machine learning, and gaming. It also has a higher screen refresh rate and bigger battery, but its lack of a touchscreen may be a downside for some users. Both laptops have similar battery life, but the IdeaPad is slightly lighter, making it more portable despite its larger screen. If budget is a concern and you need a touchscreen, the HP might be preferred; however, for intensive tasks and better screen quality, the IdeaPad is the stronger choice. Give Feedback

The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro is good for engineering and design, while the HP Envy x360 15" is only fair.
The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro is rated higher for engineering and design due to its superior main processor, double the RAM, and a more powerful dedicated Nvidia GPU compared to the HP Envy x360's integrated Vega 7 graphics, which are adequate but not as capable. Additionally, the Lenovo has a higher-resolution and higher-refresh-rate screen, which benefits design precision and fluidity in engineering applications, while the HP Envy may be preferred for its 2-in-1 versatility and better portability thanks to its lighter weight and convertible design.

The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro has a better screen than the HP Envy x360 15" for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the HP Envy x360 15" offers a balance between resolution and brightness, suitable for everyday tasks but the image may not be as sharp or vibrant as higher-end displays. The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro improves on this with a higher resolution and brightness, providing clearer and more vivid visuals beneficial for both general use and detailed engineering work where accurate colors and sharpness are key. However, for gaming and 3D applications where smooth motion is crucial, both laptops fall short due to lower refresh rates, which could make fast-paced action appear less fluid compared to laptops designed specifically for gaming.

The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro and HP Envy x360 15" are both good for general use.
The HP Envy x360 15" is appreciated for general use because of its versatile 2-in-1 design that serves as both laptop and tablet, along with a good balance of CPU and RAM, high-quality touchscreen, and reliable battery life. The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro offers a stronger CPU, double the RAM, and a superior screen with higher resolution and refresh rate, making it well-suited for more demanding tasks, while still maintaining good portability and battery life.

The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro and HP Envy x360 15" are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The HP Envy x360 15" has fair gaming and 3D capabilities largely because it uses an integrated AMD graphics solution which is less powerful than discrete graphics cards found in dedicated gaming laptops, and it has a standard screen refresh rate of 60Hz which is not ideal for fast-paced games that benefit from higher refresh rates.

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."

Florian Glaser | September 2022
"The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro turns out a successful all-rounder that, aside from 3D applications, always strikes a good or very good figure. This begins with the elegant metal case that isn't particularly light but fairly robust, giving a high-quality impression. The input devices are also better than those of many competitors. Both the keyboard and the touchpad are attractive and comfortable. In addition, the performance of the Ryzen 5 6600HS is easily able to keep up with the Intel competitors."
