Pros and Cons

HP ENVY 15

Strengths

The HP Envy X360 is a fairly affordable laptop, under $1000, with good specs.
It's a two-in-one device that offers flexibility and ease of use.
The magnesium alloy construction makes it light and easy to carry around (4.16 pounds).
Performance is very interesting, the Ryzen 7 5825u CPU beats out the i7 1260p in synthetic benchmarks.

Weaknesses

The display has poor color accuracy and a bad color gamut for a laptop at this price point.
The keyboard design has a gap in the center that collects dust, which can be annoying.
The speakers are on the top and while they're okay, they're not as good as some other laptops like MacBook Pro.
The battery life is only 12 hours of use before needing to charge (while still being decent)

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
