Our Verdict

HP ENVY x360 15 (2023)

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i 14 (2022)

The HP ENVY x360 15 (2023) is slightly better than the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i 14 (2022) for most uses. The HP has a sturdier build, a better 1440p webcam, and better performance over time. It's available with nicer displays, including an OLED panel with full DCI P3 and Adobe RGB coverage for color-critical work. Also, you can get the HP with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 discrete GPU to perform more intensive tasks like video editing and 3D graphics.
