Pros and Cons

HP ProBook 650 G8

Strengths

The laptop has a nice design with insanely small bezels, making it look premium.
The Intel Iris Xc graphics are stronger than an NVIDIA GTX 1030 for an integrated GPU, which is insane!
The keyboard is backlit and super nice, with a bright backlight that's really cool.
The touchpad is smooth and feels like velvet, even compared to Mac touchpads.
The laptop has a long soundbar for surround sound audio, which would be great.
The battery life is good and healthy, making it suitable for all-day use.
The laptop's aesthetics are preferred over any 2020 Elitebook by a mile.

Weaknesses

The laptop only has four cores and eight threads, compared to the Ryzen 4700U system which has eight cores and sixteen threads.
The placement of the power button near the keyboard could be problematic for users who want to press delete and hit the power button at the same time.
The screen is just a regular 1080p display that runs at 60 Hz, with no touch functionality (at least not in this model).
The lighting in the recording environment was unstable due to being near sunrise.
The laptop's quality might suffer due to being recorded in an imperfect environment.
There is no USB-C power cord provided, and the user had to remove their SIM card for the video.
The battery life, while good, wasn't specifically mentioned as exceptional.

HP Chromebook x360 13

Strengths

The new mediatek processors are excellent and a very nice match for the Chrome operating system.
It does have a pretty decent GPU on board so I think even on the lower end model you should see some good performance out of this.
The battery life is pretty good on this too if you're sticking to the browser and keeping the display brightness down you're going to get about 10 to 11 hours out of this.
It's a really nice Chromebook for people looking for something that's a little more powerful than the typical Intel Chromebook you might see at around this price point.
The build quality on this was a little better would have been good but beyond that I think it's a really nice Chromebook
Overall, I am very impressed with its performance and its battery life.
It does have a lot of potential especially if you are into game emulation or just Android gaming in general.
Its game emulation performance is excellent, I was really impressed with its game emulation performance we've got the Android version of the Dolphin Emulator running here
The speakers on this one are downward firing and it'll sound different depending on what it's resting on and in what orientation the laptop is in but it doesn't sound bad though it's got a good range of sound
