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 14

Strengths

The HP Chromebook x360 has a nice aluminum casing that gives it a premium feel.

Battery life is decent, with up to 8 hours of use in a workday scenario.
The speakers are quite loud and capable of playing games and videos without too much distortion.

Weaknesses

The price can be high, especially with the Core i7 configuration.
The color gamut on the IPS display is lacking, making it less vibrant than expected.
The brightness is not super high, which may cause issues in very bright environments.
The speakers distort at higher volume levels and are not ideal for heavy music listening.
The 64GB storage feels a bit light, considering the premium nature of this laptop.

HP ProBook 650 G8

I recently had the opportunity to experience the HP ProBook 650 G8, touted as one of the nicest HP laptops ever made. With its 11th gen Intel Core i7 processor clocking at 3 GHz, 32 GB of RAM, and integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, this laptop is a powerhouse. I was impressed by its sleek design, with incredibly small bezels and a vibrant 1080p display. Let's dive into my review to see if it lives up to the hype.

HP Chromebook x360 14

The HP Chromebook x360 14 is a sleek and premium Chrome OS laptop designed for business users and those seeking a more refined computing experience. With its aluminum casing, 360-degree hinges, and full HD IPS touchscreen, it's a departure from the typical plastic-ridden Chromebooks. The device boasts impressive specs, including up to an Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM (in some configurations), and Android app support. But does this higher-end pricing justify its features?
