Pros and Cons

HP EliteBook X G1a

Strengths

HP hit a home run... they got it right with the displays
Great keyboard, great build quality, great design
Excellent camera on it as well so if you do a lot of video conferencing and stuff like that this certainly will get the job done
This is the best performing 14-inch business laptop on the market as far as Windows is concerned

Weaknesses

The only thing that's a negative here obviously is the big price... it's definitely uh sign of the times this is not just specific to this laptop but the Dell's came in high far as business laptops lenovo's thinkpads are high right now everything is High
The ram is uh soldered into the motherboard obviously with this but it's not upgradeable by the user
It's definitely uh sign of the times... you're going to pay a premium right now so that is just something you'll have to deal with
The overall takeaway is you're going to pay a premium right now

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
