Pros and Cons

Asus ROG Strix G17 G713R

Strengths

The laptop has a powerful RTX 3080 TI with 150 watts of TGP, making it a beast for gaming.
The battery life is outstanding, lasting around 12 hours of web browsing or nearly 10 hours of video playback on a single charge.
The 360hz display offers crazy quick pixel response times and good contrast ratio, making it ideal for gaming.
The laptop comes with two DDR5 RAM slots, which are 50% faster in writing data compared to the DDR4 RAM in last year's model.
The liquid metal compound used for cooling the CPU is an upgrade over previous models, keeping the keyboard well-insulated and cool.

Weaknesses

The laptop weighs between 2.5-2.8 kilos due to the extra heat pipes in more powerful setups, which might be a drawback for some users.
There's no camera above the display, but this is traded off for the mux switch, which allows direct communication between the graphics card and screen.
The laptop can get warm, with the keyboard reaching 39 degrees after over 30 minutes of gameplay.
The lack of a significant design change compared to previous models might be a letdown for some users.
There's no information on the price of the top-tier configuration, which might be a concern for budget-conscious buyers.

HP Elite x2 G8

Strengths

The tablet is made out of Aviation grade aluminium and looks premium
The Spill resistant keyboard is backlit with two levels of brightness and has a click pad with multi-gesture support
Typing on the keyboard is comfortable and doesn't have too much sway while pressing
A vacum touch pen is included, which has two configurable buttons and is really accurate with over 2,000 levels of pressure sensitivity
The hinge in the back is 150° up tilt and designed to withstand 5 years of eight openings per day
Specs are pretty solid with an 11 gen i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB mvme SSD
HP Elite x2 G8 has a 13-in gorgeous touchscreen display with almost 4K resolution of 3000x 2000 pixels

Weaknesses

The price is steep at $2,500
The tablet is not light enough at 1.3 kg being the same as some other 14-in laptops
Camera quality could be better with only a full HD on the front and an 8 megapixel one on the back
Battery life is average lasting around 3 hours of intense use
The touchpad could be faster like ones from laptops, also including left and right click buttons
A USB-A port would have been useful as there are a lot of peripherals that don't use USBC
Graphics performance is slower compared to the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 tablet
