Pros and Cons

HP ENVY 14

Strengths

You get a 4k OLED display, RTX 2060, H Series processor, and 16 GB RAM for under $1500.
The Envy 14 is priced better than the Razer Book 13 with similar specs, offering more value for money.
The build quality is premium, with a sturdy metal lid that feels solid.
The display is 16:10 aspect ratio at 14 inches, providing more vertical space and about 10-11% more room to work with.
The laptop has good performance in content creation tasks like Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro.
Developers can compile Mozilla Firefox without issues, making it suitable for coding tasks.
Thermals are good, with no thermal throttling or drop frames when gaming.
The battery life is 12 hours and 30 minutes before needing to charge, which is impressive.

Weaknesses

The display is glossy, leading to some reflection.
The hinge can be a bit squishy on the top of the lid.
The sticker placement can be off-putting, with crookedness everywhere.
The laptop has limited upgradability options, except for the NVMe SSD.
The fan noise can get very loud when in performance mode.
The single-core speeds are not as good as an i7 processor like the Razer Book 13.
The keyboard's travel distance is good but may not be perfect for typing enthusiasts.
The touchpad is accurate but may not be as good as some other laptops.

HP ENVY 13

Strengths

It's a lot of laptop for your money in terms of what you get not in terms of size and weight because it's very thin and very light
You get a pretty good deal with the core i7 quad core 15 watt ultrabooks CPU inside, 8 gigs of ram DDR4, and a 256 gig nvme SSD
The Microsoft precision trackpad is definitely a plus and it's a nice looking screen that's surprisingly bright, often 4k displays particularly with HP
Battery life on this will depend on when you get the full HD or the 4k display option, but it has a 53 hour battery which is healthy for your premium ultra book
The laptop has pretty good banging on some branded quad speakers which is a thing that HP has been doing

Weaknesses

You can't upgrade the RAM after the fact because it's soldered on
The rubber strips along the bottom are difficult to remove and may need to be replaced
It doesn't have Thunderbolt 3, but USBC offers an unprecedented display out hubs and all that sort of thing
Opening up the laptop is a bit of a pain due to the adhesive self-destructing rubber strips
The thermals are not perfect, with the laptop sometimes getting too hot to touch above the keyboard area
