Huawei MateBook 14s

The Huawei MateBook 14s is a compelling choice for those seeking a portable workhorse. Its solid metal build, beautiful 2.5k 90Hz touchscreen display, and stunning 3x2 aspect ratio make it an attractive option. Performance-wise, it delivers on its promise, with a capable CPU and GPU that can handle light office tasks to more demanding video editing and gaming. However, minor drawbacks like a highly reflective display and subpar webcam quality exist, but are outweighed by the laptop's many strengths.

HP Pavilion Plus 16

The HP Pavilion Plus 16 is a sleek and powerful laptop that boasts an all-metal body, Intel Core i7 13700H processor, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card. Its 16-inch display features a 400-nit brightness, 120Hz refresh rate, and 100% sRGB color gamut. However, the trackpad is marred by a clicky and unresponsive design, which may be a fault in my unit but still raises concerns about overall quality.
