Pros and Cons

Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 4

Strengths

The ThinkPad E14 is really solid, while its industrial-looking body makes it hard to miss your professionalism.
The keyboard is comfortable for typing, as any ThinkPad unit should be, while the touchpad is smooth thanks to the Mylar surface.
The ThinkPad E14 comes with both TN and IPS panels. However, we would strongly recommend choosing an IPS option.
The laptop lasts for 9 hours and 52 minutes of web browsing, or 7 hours and 51 minutes of video playback.
The Core i5 performs quite well inside this chassis, matching a lot of its competitors.

Weaknesses

No specific cons listed for this device

HP OMEN 17

Strengths

The level of gaming performance is actually pretty good, I did not experience any stutters very smooth level of performance.
The design is modern and I personally love it, however once again this is personal preference and this may be a con for you if you do not like it.
The 240 HZ 1440p display is amazing because honestly most laptops do not come with a 1440p 240 HZ display so this one is very nice.
The colors on the display are great as I said before, overall an amazing display.
It's very portable, it's not super heavy and it's ideal if you want to do gaming while traveling.
The level of performance while gaming and also while doing multitasking if you want to do work or study is amazing overall.
You will be happy with the level of performance while gaming.
It's a pretty good deal for $1,800 or $1600 if you go with the big TW version which is cheaper.

Weaknesses

If you do not mind going for a rebuild PC instead or maybe building it yourself you are going to be getting a better price performance.
For the same price you can get faster gaming performance but of course if you need a laptop because you are going to travel or you are at Uni or whatever the reason might be on why you need a laptop then fair enough.
You may not like the modern design which is personal preference.
The only con that I found is that it's not the best option in terms of price performance if you are open to buying a pre-build PC or building a system yourself.
If you want the best price performance, then getting a pre-built PC or building a system yourself might be a better option for you.
The RAM and storage options could be improved compared to other laptops like the big TW version which has 64 gigs of RAM and 2 TB of storage.
It may not have as many features or customization options compared to other laptops in its class.
If you're looking for a laptop with a higher refresh rate display, then this might not be the best option for you.
