Pros and Cons

HP Spectre x360 15

Strengths

The HP Spectre x360-15 has a great looking design, perfect for creative work and entertainment.
It's flexible and can handle both gaming and everyday tasks with ease.
The intel's 10th generation core i7 10750h chipset running the show backed by a generous 16 gigs of ram ensures smooth performance.
The dedicated nvidia gtx 1650 ti gpu handles visuals fine for creative tasks like video editing and can even handle some gaming.
The storage is speedy with a one terabyte ssd stuffed inside, offering write speeds of three gigabits per second and read speeds just over that.
The Wi-Fi six compatibility ensures fast and reliable internet connectivity.
The battery life may not be great, but it's fine for mixed use, lasting around 5 hours on a full charge.

Weaknesses

The HP Spectre x360-15 is not ideal for demanding gaming, with the latest memory guzzling games like doom eternal running slowly even on low detail settings.
The keyboard may get warm and toasty during intense use or stress testing in 3d mark, indicating some throttling issues.
The battery life could be better, especially considering its sleek design.
The cooling system seems inadequate for the powerful components packed into a tight space, leading to overheating issues.
The performance may not be on par with dedicated gaming or creative laptops of 2020, especially in demanding tasks.
The internal mic quality is good but the camera's low light sensitivity may cause some graininess, although respectable light resolves this issue.
It occasionally took a little while to boot up and for any benchmark fans out there, silly bench returned a score of 2117, not world-beaten.

HP ENVY 15

Strengths

The HP Envy X360 is a fairly affordable laptop, under $1000, with good specs.
It's a two-in-one device that offers flexibility and ease of use.
The magnesium alloy construction makes it light and easy to carry around (4.16 pounds).
Performance is very interesting, the Ryzen 7 5825u CPU beats out the i7 1260p in synthetic benchmarks.

Weaknesses

The display has poor color accuracy and a bad color gamut for a laptop at this price point.
The keyboard design has a gap in the center that collects dust, which can be annoying.
The speakers are on the top and while they're okay, they're not as good as some other laptops like MacBook Pro.
The battery life is only 12 hours of use before needing to charge (while still being decent)
