The HP Envy x360 15" and Lenovo V15 are similar in price but may offer different experiences. The HP Envy x360 has a 360-degree hinge allowing it to be used as a tablet and comes with a touchscreen, making it more versatile especially for creative tasks or presentations. However, this feature might reduce battery life compared to traditional laptops. The Lenovo V15 is likely to be more conventional without touch or tablet mode, possibly offering better battery life and a robust design for everyday tasks. Consider what's more important: a versatile, convertible experience or a traditional laptop with potentially better battery longevity for general use. If your work involves creative tasks or presentations, the HP might serve you better, whereas if you prioritize typing comfort and battery life for regular work, the Lenovo could be more suitable.

The HP Envy x360 15" has a better screen than the Lenovo V15 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The HP Envy x360 15" offers a balance of resolution and brightness suitable for everyday tasks, but its color range is limited for engineering and design work, and its lesser refresh rate affects the smoothness required for gaming and 3D applications. On the other hand, the Lenovo V15's screen falls short in resolution and brightness, impacting the overall visual experience for general use, and lacks the advanced color gamut necessary for precise work in engineering and design. Furthermore, similar to the HP, its refresh rate isn't high, which detracts from the gaming and 3D experience where higher refresh rates are essential for fluid motion.

The Lenovo V15 and HP Envy x360 15" are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The HP Envy x360 15" and the Lenovo V15 are both fair for gaming and 3D because they house similar integrated graphics with AMD Ryzen 5 Vega 7, which allows for decent but not high-end gaming performance. Moreover, both laptops have a screen refresh rate of 60Hz, which is adequate for casual gaming but may not provide the smoothest experience for high frame rate gaming; additionally, their screen quality differences (IPS on the HP Envy x360 and TN on the Lenovo V15) may affect viewing angles and color reproduction, with the HP potentially offering a better visual experience.

The HP Envy x360 15" and Lenovo V15 are both only fair for engineering and design.
The HP Envy x360 15" is fair for engineering and design due to its decent combination of CPU, RAM, and an integrated GPU that can handle moderate workloads, combined with quality IPS screen but limited by less impressive color space coverage. In contrast, the Lenovo V15 has similar CPU and RAM specifications which are adequate, but its TN screen with lower color accuracy and narrower viewing angles make it less ideal for design work where color fidelity is crucial.

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 strengths of the Lenovo V15 G2 AMD lie in its expandability of the RAM and allowing you to use two SSDs, in its performance that goes beyond everyday applications thanks to AMD's hexa-core CPU and Vega-7 iGPU, in its good keyboard, and its relatively robust case. In addition, the battery life of the office laptop is also acceptable, and the device stays cool and relatively quiet."
