Pros and Cons

Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5i

Strengths

It's a great value for you consumers out there who want a two-in-one who want some nice versatile features like that Bluetooth keyboard.
I really like this device. I think it's more than fast enough for your average person. I think it's great for a lot of office work out there and I think it even has enough power to do a little more intense stuff.
The performance at least with the I3 model is very good for your money and if you compare it out there even with the 11th gen I5 model this will outperform it or it will go neck and neck with that service for a weight that has an i5 11 Shin processor.
This does not have a deal breaker. The Surface Pro lineup is great but this goes neck and neck. I think it does very very well.
It's terrific for students who just need to do a lot of office work, it has plenty of storage for stuff like that and you could always plug in an external SSD if you need a little bit of extra storage
The 2.5K display is terrific!
This will outperform the 11th gen I5 model service

Weaknesses

Graphics capabilities aren't terrific on it.
Storage is a little bit limiting if you do get the 128 gigabyte model.
I think the webcam is not very good
It doesn't have a fingerprint sensor and the webcam and face unlock it are nothing to ride home about
The SSD is not super easy to take out, so that's one thing that's a little difficult
It could use a 120Hz screen.
Only available in lower specs in the US

HP EliteBook 865 G11

Strengths

This laptop designwise how everything is reinforced and designed it is topnotch. No wonder I like it.
The performance only will suffer 10 to 20% when unpluging this charger and running games or other applications, still a great performance.
It has a huge 73 or 76W hour battery which contributes to the long battery life.
All you have to do is loosen up these five screws and the whole bottom cover just pops off making it very serviceable.

Weaknesses

The sound quality of the speakers is okay, but not great. You can listen music or do web conferences, but don't expect high-quality sound.
The battery life might suffer when you use the laptop in demanding tasks, even with a powerful Ryzen 7 8840U CPU.
The laptop's case might get micro scratches on the surface after minor drops (within 30 seconds) which is not ideal.
It can be expensive to upgrade this laptop due to its high-end features and serviceability.
