Pros and Cons

HP OMEN 16

Strengths

I like the design, I think it looks really clean, it looks classy
The keyboard deck is very good looking, the keys felt great to use when gaming
You have a fairly good size touch pad at the bottom
Performance was fantastic with some of the best temps I've seen on a gaming laptop in the last few months
Battery life is really good, got really good battery life with this guy
The RGB lighting looks really cool and it's a great feature if that's your thing

Weaknesses

This display is absolutely horrible, they gotta stop sticking displays like this on laptops
Not the most premium feeling laptop on the market
Heat management is very interesting comparing it to other gaming laptops, CPU temps are always up at 88-89 degrees Celsius
You lose out in a little bit of performance when things get crazy on the omen 16 it just power throttles right away
Speakers nothing special, they're on the bottom of the laptop, they're a bit flat and there's no high end or mids are completely drowned out
Only one drive slot, usually with 16 inch notebooks especially gaming laptops you get at least two

HP EliteBook x360 1040 G11

Strengths

The EliteBook X360 1040 G11 has a very premium feel, tons of IO, and a great keyboard that makes it a competent partner for everyday computing needs.
The laptop comes with Intel's Meteor Lake Core i7-165h, 16GB of speedy memory, and a 1TB SSD, making it highly customizable and suitable for general productivity workflows.
The EliteBook has a sturdy and rigid construction, with a bright and almost white color that helps to keep fingerprints at bay.
The laptop's performance is snappy, with high single-core results in our PCMark tests, making it ideal for most general productivity workflows.

Weaknesses

The display options are limited, with only an FHD panel available on the review unit (there are other options available with higher color gamut coverage and brightness).
The webcam has a higher-than-average 5MP resolution but is not ideal for video conferencing.
The cooling system was not designed for prolonged heavy use, resulting in high temperatures during stress tests.
The GPU performance drops gradually during torture tests, which may be noticeable in usual use case scenarios.

HP OMEN 16

The HP Omen 16 is a sleek and powerful gaming laptop that boasts a unique design aesthetic. Its matte-black chassis exudes a premium look, despite being made from plastic, giving it a clean and effective appearance. Weighing in at 5.2 pounds, this chunky laptop packs a punch with its impressive specs, including an i7-1362H CPU paired with an RTX 4060 GPU. However, its biggest letdown lies in the display - a disappointing 65% sRGB rating that fails to impress.

HP EliteBook x360 1040 G11

In the world of business laptops, one often assumes a compromise between form and function. However, HP's EliteBook x360 1040 G11 challenges this notion with its premium feel, robust construction, and impressive feature set. With a powerful Intel Core Ultra processor, ample RAM, and a spacious SSD, this convertible laptop promises to deliver both style and substance. Can it live up to its promise?
