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 ENVY x360 14

Strengths

I like the gorgeous OLED displays on both the 14 and the 16
The variable refresh rate up to 120 htz on both models is a great feature
The all-metal design is pretty Rock Solid, and the overall build is really good here
Good Port selection, and good battery life on both the 14 and the 16
I like the darker keys that they're using here making it easier to see the backlight when it's on
The improved hinges means less screen wobble when typing, which is a big Improvement
You're also getting pretty nice audio on both the 14 and the 16

Weaknesses

Negative: soldered Ram, which is part for the course year 2024
AMD model caps out at 16 GB of RAM where you can go up to 32 on the Intel based model
No SD card reader on either unit
The pen is sold separately, I kind of wish it was included, it would have been more of a value there
On the AMD model specifically no USB 4 which would have given you that Thunderbolt type functionality
You are stock with USB 3.2 Gen 2, which is a little disappointing
Mediatech Wi-Fi 6E on the AMD model, not the Wi-Fi 7 that you get on the Intel Core Ultra 7 processor
