Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x 15.3" Laptop vs HP Pavilion 15.6" Touchscreen Laptop

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x is the better pick for most people: it weighs 3.52 lb against 6.6 lb, runs an 8-core Snapdragon X chip with 16 GB RAM, and Lenovo rates battery life at 14 hours. The HP Pavilion 15.6 gives you a touchscreen, a Ryzen 7-7730U and a 120Hz panel, but it is nearly twice the weight and HP rates battery life at up to 8 hours. Buy the Lenovo for portability and all-day battery, the HP if you want touch input and a faster-feeling screen. Owners rate the Lenovo slightly higher (4.5 from 401 ratings vs 4.3 from 715).

• Choose the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x if you carry your laptop daily, want long battery life and do not need a touchscreen.
• Choose the HP Pavilion 15.6 if you want a touchscreen, a 120Hz display and a traditional x86 Intel or AMD processor for Windows software.
