Pros and Cons

Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 2

Strengths

The pluses for this are deep key travel, a really comfy keyboard, it's relatively speaking pretty thin and light even if it's not verging on carbon territory, and a lot of ports here I mean ethernet on an ultrabook you just don't see that anymore
A really comfy keyboard
Display options are pretty decent for this class of machine too

Weaknesses

No specific cons listed for this device

MSI Vector GP76

Strengths

The MSI Vector GP76 is fairly well-rounded for being a gaming laptop
It has suitable ports for its intended uses, including three USB 3.2 gen 1 type A ports and a single USB type-c port
Typing on the vector gp76 with the RGB backlit Keys is a delight thanks to the springs and the keys offering a comfortable and responsive ride
The laptop has a blazingly rapid and friendly refresh rate of 360 Hertz, suitable for highly responsive video game addicts
It didn't shortchange The Gaming Community with its internals, featuring an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070t GPU with eight gigabytes of video memory

Weaknesses

The thermal system and mediocre battery life prevent it from being at the top of its class
Battery life is poor, taking only 2 hours and 45 minutes for a web surfing session set to 150 nits of screen brightness
The laptop's design is minimalistic, which might not be appealing to some users
The camera is worth a few points but the results of the video recordings look good (this one is more of a neutral point)
The fans can be loud and overpowering at times

Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 2

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 is an iterative update to the previous model, boasting improved specs without a redesign. This ultrabook features deep key travel and a comfortable keyboard, making it a solid choice for those who value typing experience. The device also packs plenty of ports, including Ethernet, which is a rare feature in modern ultrabooks. However, some drawbacks include higher temperatures and louder fan noise than average, as well as relatively short battery life compared to its competitors.

MSI Vector GP76

The MSI Vector GP76 is a solid gaming laptop, but its thermal system and battery life hold it back from being top-tier. Its sleek design boasts a black lid with a prominent MSI logo, while the underside features extensive venting to keep internals cool. The keyboard's hollow surface is broken up by bright white backlighting and RGB accents. This 6-pound powerhouse offers suitable ports, including three USB-A ports and an RJ45 Ethernet jack, making it a great choice for gamers on-the-go.
