Pros and Cons

HP ENVY x360 13

Strengths

The laptop features a 2K+ OLED display that looks really good, and for its price of $11.79, it's a great value.
The magnesium alloy chassis with ocean-bound plastics is a nice touch to help save the environment.
The i7 1250u CPU paired with a fast NVMe SSD makes this laptop suitable for work or back-to-school needs.
The OLED display has excellent color accuracy, contrast ratios, and brightness, making it a great panel to look at.

Weaknesses

The top lid is made of a magnesium alloy that can be prone to fingerprints and smudges.
The hinges on the laptop are not as sturdy as some might prefer, especially considering the display's ability to flip 360 degrees.
The trackpad placement in the middle of the keyboard can feel cramped at times.
The speakers on the bottom are good but not great, and the fan noise can be noticeable when running demanding tasks.

HP ZBook x2 G4

Strengths

HP does a factory calibration that was pretty good out of the box.
The pen experience is superb, it's so close to genuine Wacom products including the software control being the same.
The display is just lovely, with very wide color gamut and decent contrast ratio.
The pen driver is exactly like a dark themed version of Wacom Cintiq and mobile studio pro control panel complete with pen settings for pressure curves and per app settings.
It's great for Illustrator and other programs where sometimes you find like other pens are still not as well supported.
HP quick keys are basically Express keys on each side, so lefty righty it's all good.
The build quality is tanky, making it a unique piece in its class.
