Pros and Cons

HP ProBook 640 G8

Strengths

The laptop comes with a good quality build, little to no flex, and silver plastic that doesn't leave fingerprints.
The Intel Core i5 11th Gen processor provides a fast performance, making it much faster than last year's EliteBook 840 G7.
The keyboard is a delight to type on and does not bend when pressing the keys.
The laptop has a wide trackpad that feels nice to use, although right clicking can be a bit tricky.

Weaknesses

The default screen comes with only 250 nits of brightness, which may feel dull compared to screens with better brightness.
The Intel Iris XE GPU is not ideal for gaming and results in low frame rates in games like Fortnite.
The laptop's trackpad sits too far to the left, making it uncomfortable to use for some users.
There's no SD card reader available on this model.

HP Spectre x360 13

Strengths

The HP Spectre x360 is absolutely gorgeous and premium as well as thin and light.
It's a two-in-one laptop that can convert into a tablet with no flex on the bottom chassis and no keyboard wobble on a flat surface.
The device has a bright and vibrant 13.3 inch 1080p IPS touchscreen screen with extremely thin bezels, rich vivid and saturated colors, and fine details are sharp.
It has one of the best keyboards you'll find on laptops today, with snappy keys that don't feel overly rigid or quiet.
The trackpad is smooth and responsive, making it easy to glide at slow speeds for accurate cursor control.
The Bang & Olufsen tuned speakers are loud and clear, creating a solid media consumption experience.
It has an Intel Core i7 CPU and 16 gigs of RAM, which provides great performance and battery life.

Weaknesses

The screen is a fingerprint magnet due to its glossy surface.
The webcam is just a regular 720p camera.
The device can be pricey, although the leather sleeve adds some excellent value.
Fat noise is not that bad, but it does kick in during heavy loads.
Overheating was not a concern, but temperatures did reach up to 80-75 degrees Celsius during intense usage.
Battery life may vary depending on usage, with 8 hours of regular use and up to 13 hours with battery saver and low display brightness.
Graphics performance is good for an ultra-portable laptop, but may not be suitable for demanding games at high settings.
