Pros and Cons

HP ZBook Firefly 16 G11

Strengths

The HP ZBook Firefly 16 G11 has good performance with the Intel i5-135h CPU and the Intel Arc RTX A500 combo, making it suitable for productivity 2D and light 3D workloads.
It has a large and sturdy chassis with plenty of hard drive display options to meet various needs.
The keyboard is excellent with tactile spaced out keys perfect for rapid touch typing and the glass touchpad is smooth and ideal for long periods.
The laptop has good upgradability and IO options, including two fast Thunderbolt ports, two USB type-A ports, and an HDMI port.

Weaknesses

The HP ZBook Firefly 16 G11 is a big and bulky laptop compared to its 14-in siblings due to the larger screen and additional keypad.
It uses slower USB type-A ports instead of faster USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, which is a drawback in an expensive mobile workstation.
The base model starts at $1,380 or $1,757, overlapping into its cousins the HP ZBook Power G11 and the EliteBook 860 G11 with similar pricing and specs, making it harder to choose between them.
It's not ideal for users who need dedicated graphics options, as the RTX A500 is limited by low 4 GB gddr6 memory, and its performance was worse in our benchmarks compared to the integrated Intel Arc 8 core GPU.

HP EliteBook 665 G11

Strengths

Fantastic performance, a great keyboard, a comprehensive set of security features, and a very generous port selection.
The laptop feels solid and well-built, which is exactly what you want from a business laptop that's going to be tossed in a bag and taken on the road.
It's powered by AMD's Ryzen 5 7535U processor, with fast DDR5 RAM and a speedy PCIe Gen 4 SSD, making it fly through everyday tasks.
The keyboard is comfortable to type on for long periods, and the inclusion of a numeric keypad is a big plus for anyone who works with numbers.
The laptop has a comprehensive set of ports, including two USBC ports with Thunderbolt 4 support, two USBA ports, a full-size HDMI 2.1 port, an Ethernet port, and a headphone and microphone combo jack.
HP's Wolf security suite and self-healing BIOS are on board to keep your data safe.

Weaknesses

The display's color accuracy might not be up to snuff for everyone, especially creative professionals who require more accurate color representation.
The laptop can be a bit heavy to move around with, weighing in at around 1.8 kg or 3.97 lb.
The 45% NTSC color gamut is fine for emails, spreadsheets, and general business use but not ideal for photo or video editing.
It's not the lightest laptop out there, making it less portable compared to other options.
