Pros and Cons

Asus Chromebook CM14 Flip

Strengths

The garage USI 2.0 stylus is a great selling point and easy to use.
It's a pretty versatile device with convertible nature that opens up a number of ways of using it.
Battery life is balanced against performance, allowing for general use throughout the day and into a second day.
The speakers are loud and have good quality, especially when on a flat surface like a desk.
It's great for light gaming and browsing with the Mediatek Compano 520 processor handling games like Real Racing 3 smoothly.

Weaknesses

The build is all plastic and has an extra smooth top that feels unpleasant and attracts fingerprints easily.
Weight is not the lightest at 1.56 kg, making some allowance for the touchscreen necessary.
The webcam is standard 720p and doesn't blow you away, though it does have a manual privacy slider.
The touchpad feels cheap with slight movement when tapping and a bit of noise too.
Some CM14 Flip model options don't come with the optional stylus, even if they support the stylus on their screen.

HP ProBook 650 G8

Strengths

The laptop has a nice design with insanely small bezels, making it look premium.
The Intel Iris Xc graphics are stronger than an NVIDIA GTX 1030 for an integrated GPU, which is insane!
The keyboard is backlit and super nice, with a bright backlight that's really cool.
The touchpad is smooth and feels like velvet, even compared to Mac touchpads.
The laptop has a long soundbar for surround sound audio, which would be great.
The battery life is good and healthy, making it suitable for all-day use.
The laptop's aesthetics are preferred over any 2020 Elitebook by a mile.

Weaknesses

The laptop only has four cores and eight threads, compared to the Ryzen 4700U system which has eight cores and sixteen threads.
The placement of the power button near the keyboard could be problematic for users who want to press delete and hit the power button at the same time.
The screen is just a regular 1080p display that runs at 60 Hz, with no touch functionality (at least not in this model).
The lighting in the recording environment was unstable due to being near sunrise.
The laptop's quality might suffer due to being recorded in an imperfect environment.
There is no USB-C power cord provided, and the user had to remove their SIM card for the video.
The battery life, while good, wasn't specifically mentioned as exceptional.
