Pros and Cons

HP Pavilion Plus 14

Strengths

A sturdy build with a lot of premium materials to give you a nice feel for the machine.
A fantastic display where everything looks flush and vivid.
Great input devices, thanks to a great keyboard and decent trackpad.
Some of the best I/O standards you'll find in class.
Performance and thermals are generally speaking getting better year over year.

Weaknesses

Battery life could be a little bit better.
Speakers could definitely be better, being some of the worst heard on any laptop this year.
Self-upgradability options are very limited, with soldered RAM meaning you're stuck with the configuration you get.
No depth and a lot of distortion in sound even at lower volume levels.
Not ideal for full-time 4K video editing or demanding activities like multi-layer 4K video editing.

HP EliteBook X G1a

Strengths

HP hit a home run... they got it right with the displays
Great keyboard, great build quality, great design
Excellent camera on it as well so if you do a lot of video conferencing and stuff like that this certainly will get the job done
This is the best performing 14-inch business laptop on the market as far as Windows is concerned

Weaknesses

The only thing that's a negative here obviously is the big price... it's definitely uh sign of the times this is not just specific to this laptop but the Dell's came in high far as business laptops lenovo's thinkpads are high right now everything is High
The ram is uh soldered into the motherboard obviously with this but it's not upgradeable by the user
It's definitely uh sign of the times... you're going to pay a premium right now so that is just something you'll have to deal with
The overall takeaway is you're going to pay a premium right now
