The HP one is quite better. The 8550U is almost 40% better than the one Flex comes with. About the GPU, I am not certain as I couldn't find the GPU model anywhere I searched (for the Flex 3).

okey, lenovo flex 3 way cheaper(10m idr on my country) than hp 14s so lets decide with nearby prices.
how about hp notebook 14s with lenovo flex 5-14?
both has core i7 gen 8 and 8gb ram with 2gb vga card.The difference are within brand, hp has amd vga card and lenovo has nvidia GT940MX and slightly better on this site https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-940MX-vs-AMD-Radeon--530/m88506vsm375394
And Lenovo has 15.6", bigger size than Hp, meanwhile the price on market 11,9m(hp) vs 11.5m(lenovo) idr too.

According to the info you've provided me with, the Flex is still better.

Whilst the HP one has a better CPU (4 cores, and up to 4GHz) the Flex one comes with an okay CPU, a great, for the price, GPU and 16GB of RAM, which is fantastic considering the budget range! Another pro, is the fact that it comes with 128 GB SSD where I am guessing the Windows will be loaded, but you can also load difficult games there to make them run faster.
