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.

The ASUS Zenbook 14 Flip OLED (2023) is better than the HP ENVY x360 15 (2023) for most uses. The ASUS has better build quality, a sharper 90Hz display, a more responsive touchpad with a built-in virtual Numpad, and faster Intel P-series CPUs. On the other hand, the HP has a better 1440p webcam and better performance over time. Both laptops support pen input and come with a stylus; the ASUS' pen is slightly more inconvenient as it doesn't attach magnetically to the laptop for transport like the HP does, so there's a greater chance of losing it.
