Our Verdict
The HP ENVY x360 15 is good for school use. It feels well-built, and while it's a little heavy, it's still fairly easy to carry around. It has a sharp display, a spacious keyboard, and a large, responsive touchpad.

Popular Laptop Comparisons
The HP ENVY x360 15 is a good laptop overall. It has a sturdier build than most laptops in its class, and its performance over time is outstanding, especially for an ultraportable. However, its battery life is only decent at around eight hours of light use.
For more options, check out our recommendations for the best 2-in-1 laptops, the best business laptops, and the best Windows laptops.
The Lenovo Yoga 7i 16 (2023) and the HP ENVY x360 15 (2023) are both mid-range 2-in-1 convertible laptops. The Lenovo is better for portable use because its battery lasts much longer, and it provides a slightly better user experience with a sharper, brighter display. However, the HP is better for use as a workstation because its CPU doesn't throttle under load, and it's available with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 discrete GPU. If you need to do color work like photo editing, the HP's display calibration isn't as good as the Lenovo's, but its OLED display has full Adobe RGB and DCI P3 coverage, whereas the Lenovo's QHD+ display only has full sRGB.
The HP ENVY x360 15 (2023) is slightly better than the Dell Inspiron 14 (2023) for most uses. The ENVY x360 feels sturdier, and unlike the Inspiron 14, it's a 2-in-1 convertible, so you can use it as a tablet. It also has a more tactile keyboard, a larger touchpad, and a significantly better 1440p webcam. However, the Inspiron 14 has a longer battery life and is available with a sharper QHD+ display. The ENVY x360 is a better option if you need a lot of GPU processing power because it's available with a newer NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU.
The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED (2024) is slightly better than the HP ENVY x360 15 (2023) for most uses, but each has pros and cons. The ASUS is a premium 14-inch ultraportable with a traditional clamshell, ideal for general productivity tasks on the go. It features exceptional build quality and a sharper 2.8K OLED display with touch and pen support. Also, the new Intel Meteor Lake processors have an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) to handle A.I.-based tasks. By contrast, the HP is a 15-inch 2-in-1 convertible, so it offers the flexibility to flip the screen into tablet mode for taking notes with a stylus in lectures or meetings or into tent mode for consuming media. The HP is also configurable with an entry-level discrete GPU, allowing it to handle graphically demanding tasks like 3D rendering.
The HP Spectre x360 14 (2023) and the HP ENVY x360 15 (2023) are both great ultraportable laptops and very similar overall. The Spectre is more portable since it's a smaller device, and its battery lasts much longer. Although its display isn't as large as the Envy's, it looks sharper due to its higher pixel density. There's also a 3k and a 1000 cd/m² FHD+ display option with an integrated privacy screen, which you can't get on the ENVY. On the other hand, the ENVY has a better 1440p webcam and is available with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 discrete GPU.
