Need help picking a laptop...

[bigmoots]

Hey guys 

Looking for a laptop for school work/office 

• 15-16" screen size 
• Any resolution above 1080p (probably not many 720p laptops anymore lol)
• 2 in 1 (preferably no detachable keyboard/tablet form factor i.e. surface pro) 
• Nice stylus primarily for annotations but also some pretty heavy note taking, preferably magnetic to the laptop 
• Decent battery life 
• Good build quality 

 

I've been looking at a few laptops, have come down to the following ... need help deciding which is better: 

• HP Spectre x360 16 (2024) 16-AA0004TU
• ASUS Vivobook 16 Flip TP3607
• Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 (couldn't find a model number, but it has a Core Ultra 7 256V, Arc graphics, 16GB LPDDR5X, 1TB SSD)

Any suggestions for similar laptops would be great as well
