Pros and Cons

HP ENVY 16

Strengths

It's a pretty good deal too, it's more on the fair scale rather than like a budget alternative
There's a massive touchpad on the bottom very accurate to use lots of space feels great when you click on it
The display is definitely one of the stars of the show it is a 4K OLED panel unfortunately it's 60 hertz but the color gamut is good the color accuracy is good and the screen brightness is okay
You do have Windows hello to log you in now my skin he was the I9 12900h but you can buy it with the i7 12700h
Fan noise is pretty good like you can put this on performance mode and the loudest it's going to get is 52 decibels
Heat management was fantastic on this laptop and obviously power throttles a lot in order to keep the temps down

Weaknesses

It's a little heavy at five pounds, which might not be ideal for everyone
The hinge can be a bit wobbly, which can be annoying when trying to use the laptop on a uneven surface
I wouldn't waste my money on the i9 version I would probably stick to the i7 instead if you're buying this for Content creation the Intel CPU is preferred over AMD because of quick sync
Intel's Arc gpus are not as powerful plus they're full of a lot of bugs right now that I don't think will get ironed out for a while
The battery life could be better, it gave me about four to five hours of use before needing to charge
I wouldn't recommend buying the 4K version save yourself the money get the 2K version instead

Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 4

Strengths

The ThinkPad E14 is really solid, while its industrial-looking body makes it hard to miss your professionalism.
The keyboard is comfortable for typing, as any ThinkPad unit should be, while the touchpad is smooth thanks to the Mylar surface.
The ThinkPad E14 comes with both TN and IPS panels. However, we would strongly recommend choosing an IPS option.
The laptop lasts for 9 hours and 52 minutes of web browsing, or 7 hours and 51 minutes of video playback.
The Core i5 performs quite well inside this chassis, matching a lot of its competitors.
