Our Verdict
HP Spectre x360 14 (2023)
ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED (2024)
The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED (2024) and the HP Spectre x360 14 (2023) are both great ultraportable laptops. The ASUS has a sturdier build, a wider port selection, and a better touchpad and webcam. Also, it's available with faster Intel Meteor Lake CPUs and faster 120Hz OLED displays. On the other hand, the HP has better performance over time and a longer battery life, and it's available with a significantly brighter 1000 cd/m² display. The HP is a 2-in-1 convertible, meaning you can use it as a tablet, while the ASUS is a more traditional clamshell model.
