Our Verdict
HP ENVY x360 15 (2023)
Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 (2023)
The Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 (2023) and the HP ENVY x360 15 (2023) are both very good Windows convertible laptops that provide a similar user experience. The Dell feels sturdier but isn't quite as portable since it's a larger device. The HP comes out ahead in a few areas; it has a better 1400p webcam, a more comfortable keyboard, and nicer, brighter display options, including an OLED panel with full DCI P3 and Adobe RGB coverage. The Dell has longer battery life, although both last long enough to get you through a typical workday.
