Pros
- Fast for a 14-inch business laptop: the 12-core Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 scored 2647 single-core and 14341 multi-core in Geekbench 6.7 in review testing
- The 74.5 Wh battery lasted just over 14 hours in a Wi-Fi web-browsing test on this 1200p IPS configuration
- Good port selection: two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a 10Gbps USB-C port, a 10Gbps USB-A port, HDMI 2.1 and a headphone/microphone combo jack, with USB-C on both sides so it can charge from either side
- Optional 2.8K OLED touch panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 100% DCI-P3 coverage (HP rating) alongside the standard 1200p IPS panel
- Easy to service: the bottom panel comes off after removing four screws and the M.2 2280 SSD can be swapped
Cons
- Heavy for a 14-inch business laptop at 1.49 kg
- The 1200p IPS panel is limited to 60 Hz and sRGB, and its response times were slow in review testing (about 30 ms black-to-white)
- Starts at $2,099, and the LPDDR5x memory is soldered, so it cannot be upgraded
- No cellular (WAN) configurations
