Hi,

I was contemplating what laptop to buy for my daily use. I will use this for browsing the internet, MS Office, Zoom/Skype video calls, and some light programming.

I noticed that Elitebook comes with Windows 11 Pro. Does that impact day-to-day use? All the three laptops are similary priced due to HP sales.

Envy & Elitebook have replaceable RAM and SSD whereas Spectre only has replacebale SSD. I am not planning to replace them immediately, but will eventually.

EliteBook has a nice three year warranty whereas the others only have one year.

Here are the links to the items that I am looking to buy:

Envy: https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-envy-x360-2-in-1-laptop-15t-fe000-156-77x87av-1

Spectre: https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-spectre-x360-2-in-1-laptop-14t-ef200-135-771x5av-1

EliteBook: https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-elitebook-865-16-inch-g10-notebook-pc-wolf-pro-security-edition-p-8f838ua-aba-1

Thanks for all the help!

    Windows 11 Pro is not worth it unless you will be using the laptop for business and need some security features like high-level device encryption (to ensure that thieves can’t access your files even if they steal your laptop).

        Well, you can pick whichever is cheaper with 32GB RAM between the Spectre and the EliteBook.
