Pros and Cons

HP EliteBook 840 G11

Strengths

Decent battery life with around 8 hours work before needing to plug it in
Excellent webcam with 5 megapixel resolution and Windows Studio Effects
Useful ports including two USB Type-C ports, one USB-A port, and an HDMI port
Good upgrades options with two SO-DIMM memory slots and a PCIe M.2 SSD storage slot
Worthy upgrade with the Intel 155U providing respectable performance

Weaknesses

Battery life might not be enough for heavy power users
No SD card reader which is a minor disappointment
Wobbly hinge which is a huge disappointment in an otherwise excellent built quality
Performance might not be exciting, especially for demanding tasks
Upgrade to 155H or 165H models or AMD siblings might be necessary for more power

HP ENVY x360 14

Strengths

I like the gorgeous OLED displays on both the 14 and the 16
The variable refresh rate up to 120 htz on both models is a great feature
The all-metal design is pretty Rock Solid, and the overall build is really good here
Good Port selection, and good battery life on both the 14 and the 16
I like the darker keys that they're using here making it easier to see the backlight when it's on
The improved hinges means less screen wobble when typing, which is a big Improvement
You're also getting pretty nice audio on both the 14 and the 16

Weaknesses

Negative: soldered Ram, which is part for the course year 2024
AMD model caps out at 16 GB of RAM where you can go up to 32 on the Intel based model
No SD card reader on either unit
The pen is sold separately, I kind of wish it was included, it would have been more of a value there
On the AMD model specifically no USB 4 which would have given you that Thunderbolt type functionality
You are stock with USB 3.2 Gen 2, which is a little disappointing
Mediatech Wi-Fi 6E on the AMD model, not the Wi-Fi 7 that you get on the Intel Core Ultra 7 processor
