The HP Envy x360 15" is often significantly less expensive and offers good performance for general use, with a touchscreen and decent battery life, making it well-suited for everyday tasks and some light media work. It's slightly heavier and its gaming performance won't be as strong. The Razer Blade 14, on the other hand, is often significantly more expensive but offers a premium build with higher performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, or intensive gaming, due to a more powerful processor and GPU, higher screen resolution, and faster refresh rate. However, expect a shorter battery life and a higher weight with the Razer Blade 14. Both offer similar portability. Give Feedback

The Razer Blade 14 has a better screen than the HP Envy x360 15" for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The HP Envy x360 15" offers sufficient resolution and brightness for everyday tasks, but its panel type and limited color gamut may not satisfy engineering and design professionals who require more accurate color representation. The Razer Blade 14, with its high-resolution display and superior color coverage, excels in providing the visual fidelity needed for detailed work in engineering and design applications. However, both laptops have screens with lower refresh rates that are less suitable for gaming and 3D applications, which benefit from higher refresh rates to ensure smoother visuals and better responsiveness.

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."

Allen Ngo | May 2022
"After making a huge splash with the original 2021 model, it's expected that the 2022 refresh would be more of a minor update to an already impressive machine. It adds a higher resolution webcam (720p to 1080p), faster CPU (Ryzen 9 5900HX to Ryzen 9 6900HX), faster GPU (RTX 3070/3080 to 3070/3080 Ti), faster RAM (DDR4-3200 to DDR5-4800), faster M.2 SSD support (PCIe3 x4 to PCIe4 x4), newer WLAN module (Killer AX1690i to Qualcomm WCN685x), and a MUX switch for the new integrated Radeon 680M GPU. It's indubitably an upgrade especially in terms of single-thread processor performance."
