Verdict

The HP Pavilion x360 11 (2021) is a decent laptop for light productivity tasks. It has a USB-C port, but it cannot be used to charge the laptop, so the included power adapter must be used. Battery life is less than eight hours of light productivity, and the laptop runs for 4 hours 47 minutes in video-playback battery-drain tests. It is not a particularly powerful laptop, but it is a good option for simple tasks on the go. Some users have reported unexpected shutdowns and battery issues.

Verdict

The LG Gram 17 is a great choice for those looking for a laptop with great portability, fantastic battery life, really nice screen, good range of connections, and decent performance. It is ultra light and provides two-hour battery life. However, some users may find the keyboard to be too small as it includes a numpad and takes a couple weeks to get used to. Additionally, the laptop is set to too aggressively throttle in software by default and requires tweaking.
