The HP Envy x360 15" is a more budget-friendly option compared to the LG Gram 17, offering a good balance for general use with decent performance and a touchscreen. However, it has less storage, memory, and a lower-resolution display than the LG Gram 17. On the other hand, the LG Gram 17, while more expensive, offers a larger, higher-resolution screen for better visual detail and more workspace which is great for tasks like photo editing, and it's lighter in weight which enhances portability. Its larger battery and more powerful processor also make it well-suited for more intensive tasks, such as engineering software and 3D modeling. Choose the HP for a more affordable, touch-enabled option for everyday use, or the LG Gram for better performance, a larger screen, and enhanced portability at a higher cost. Give Feedback

The LG Gram 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.
For general use, the HP Envy x360's screen may be less vivid and sharp due to lower resolution and brightness compared to the LG Gram 17, which has a larger, brighter display with higher resolution for clearer and more comfortable viewing. In engineering and design applications, the LG Gram 17's screen displays a wider range of colors, making it more suitable for precision work that requires accurate color representation which might not be as well-represented on the HP Envy x360. When it comes to gaming and 3D tasks, both laptops may not offer the smoothest experience since they lack high refresh rates that are key for these activities, although the HP Envy x360's smaller screen may be perceived as less immersive than the LG Gram 17.

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 LG Gram 17 is a light office laptop with a large display and great battery life. The newest incarnation of the Gram 17 can be classified as a model update. LG uses the predecessor's compact, light magnesium case along with an identical port configuration (including 2x Thunderbolt 4) and keyboard. Changes can be found in the hardware. With the Gram 17 (2022), LG offers a light (approx. 1,350 g), mobile work device - and finally with a matte display."
