Pros and Cons

MSI Prestige 16 Studio

Strengths

The design is better looking than it ever has been
It's not too bad, two thousand dollars and under
We have a 16 by 10 aspect ratio display with optional mini LED which is the one that we have
It's Intel Evo certified, which means that it's power efficient and also is relatively light
The keyboard deck is fairly rigid and backlit in white
A number pad is included, which is great for those who are number crunchers
Performance is fine and thermals are good too
The display on this is a 16 by 10 aspect ratio QHD plus resolution with mini LED option

Weaknesses

No specific cons listed for this device

HP ZBook Ultra G1a

Strengths

The HP ZedBook Ultra G1A sets a new high benchmark for mobile workstation performance in a compact 14-in chassis.
Its adoption of the AMD Ryzen AI Max Pro series processors cooped with the option for up to 128 GB of high-speed RAM positions it as a capable machine for demanding professional tasks.
The absence of a SD card reader is not mentioned as a con, but rather omitted from the cons list. However, I'll replace it with this one: A choice between a matte IPS display and a vibrant 120 Hz OLED panel makes it a great option for those who value color accuracy and fast refresh rate.
Plenty of ports provide flexibility for users to connect their devices and peripherals.
A fantastic keyboard offers a comfortable typing experience.
Robust build quality ensures the laptop can withstand heavy use and long workflow sessions.
The ZBook Ultra G1A has a massive AI performance of up to 126 tops, making it one of the fastest x86 APUs available.

Weaknesses

The HP ZedBook Ultra G1A has a relatively high price point, with prices starting from $1,450 or £1,935 plus taxes for the Max Pro 380 model to £2,250 or £3,400 plus taxes for the top-end Max Plus Pro 395 review model.
Average battery life may not be ideal for users who need to work on the go all day.
The absence of a SD card reader is an inconvenience for users who rely on this feature.
Non-upgradeable RAM means users must purchase the right amount of memory at the point of sale, which can be expensive.
No 5G WAN card is available in the laptop, which may be a drawback for digital nomads who need reliable internet connectivity.
Soded memory (not an actual con, but rather a design choice that limits RAM upgradeability) means users must choose their RAM configuration carefully at purchase time.
The lack of a dedicated discrete GPU means it's not ideal for highly demanding graphics tasks, although the integrated Radon RX 860S iGPU is still capable.
