Pros and Cons

Honor MagicBook 14

Strengths

The HONOR MagicBook 14 is a great choice for students and business folk on a tight budget, offering good performance and features at an affordable price.
The laptop's durable metal chassis feels solid and can take some punishment, making it suitable for everyday use.
The fingerprint sensor built into the power button is a convenient feature that works well, saving time and effort when logging in.
The backlit spill-resistant keyboard is comfortable to type on for hours at a time, with adjustable brightness levels to suit your needs.

Weaknesses

The HONOR MagicBook 14's design is not particularly exciting or attention-grabbing, making it feel like an unremarkable laptop.
The display panel is not the brightest and struggles in outdoor conditions, even with anti-reflection technology.
Color reproduction is lacking, covering only 65% of the sRGB gamut and 49% of Adobe RGB, which may be a disappointment for creative users.
The AMD version of the laptop is not as energy-efficient as the Intel version, resulting in shorter battery life.

GIGABYTE AERO 17 HDR

Strengths

The laptop is stable in a way that some of the previous Aros that I've reviewed haven't been.
It's thin, it's light, and getting better-looking.
The horsepower in here and the cooling are super impressive.
The 4k display on this is very nice.
The keyboard has RGB key backlighting, although not perfect, makes up for it with good performance.
Battery life is pretty good, with about 6 hours of usage

Weaknesses

No secondary keys are backlit which can be a bit annoying
Keyboard's travel is short, not ideal for heavy typing users
Speakers don't have much base and would benefit from using external speakers or headphones.
Priced on the expensive side but you get good stuff for your money.
Multimedia keys are not backlit which can be a minor inconvenience.
The trackpad's sister keys ( multimedia/secondary keys) are not backlit, making them hard to see when using with RGB backlight.
