Choosing between the HP Envy x360 15" and the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro depends on your priorities. The HP Envy is generally more budget-friendly with more storage, while the Lenovo IdeaPad offers double the RAM, and a higher resolution display with a taller aspect ratio which might be better for productivity tasks. The Envy has a larger screen, but the IdeaPad is lighter, making it more portable. The IdeaPad's processor is suitable for tasks that require strong single-core performance, whereas the Ryzen in the HP Envy may offer better multi-core performance, useful for multitasking. For graphics, both utilize integrated GPUs which are fine for general use and light gaming, but not for intensive gaming or demanding graphics work. The IdeaPad has Thunderbolt 4 ports, offering faster data transfer and connectivity options compared to the HP Envy's USB-C ports. If battery life is crucial, the HP Envy has a slightly longer battery life in typical usage scenarios. Both laptops have touchscreens and are released relatively close in time, with the HP being the newer model. 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."

NotebookCheck

Allen Ngo | October 2021
"The main selling point of the IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro versus a regular IdeaPad Slim 7 is its faster Core H-series CPU. In reality, the Core i7-11370H is only marginally faster than the U-series Core i7-1165G7 to the point where most users are not likely to notice the benefits. The slight performance uptick comes at the cost of slightly higher power consumption as well meaning owners will have to deal with potentially warmer temperatures or louder fans to compensate. Unless if you happen to be a power user, then the regular non-Pro model will be more than enough. Once you go 90 Hz, you can't go back."
