Buying a new laptop is a process that should be navigated carefully, lest you get stuck with a device that's outdated, overpriced, and prone to failure. As long as you do your research and compare similar devices in a certain price range, you should come out the other side with a quality laptop that's suited to your needs.
Windows Central forum member Bbeelzebub recently created a thread as part of their shopping process, asking to hear other opinions about HP's Envy x360 and Lenovo's Flex 5.
Bbeelzebub has sights set on the 15.6-inch Envy x360 with an AMD FX processor (CPU), but the 14-inch version of the Flex 5 with Intel Core i5 CPU is also attractive, with its solid-state drive (SSD) and Lenovo Active Pen (I favorably reviewed the 15-inch version). There are some questions about design and quality, which is why Bbeelzebub popped the question in the first place.
What do you think? Is the HP laptop a better buy than the Lenovo Flex 5? What's the long-term quality like? How much of a difference does the Intel CPU make over the AMD CPU? Drop by our forum and join the discussion!
