HP rebranded its laptop lineup last year, renaming its high-performance business devices to the EliteBook X series. The first laptop from this series I've tested is the 14-inch , an impressive enterprise laptop with a lot to like, but a few considerations that make it unique. This is a business laptop aimed at professionals, and it aims to combine the connectivity of a ThinkPad, the sleek form factor of a MacBook, and HP's signature minimalist, if non-descript, design.

The EliteBook X G1a, priced at $1,599, features an AMD Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 processor, 32GB of RAM, and is reinforced by a corporate-scaled, minimalist design.

Dell's Pro 14 Premium combines a striking design with advanced features tailored for business professionals, but its high price warrants careful consideration by IT budgets.

Specs are not bare-bones but are far from luxe; the 14-inch touchscreen has a 2,880 x 1,800-pixel resolution, and the system is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 268V CPU.
