That was $100 cheaper in December
Picked this up for $600 about a month ago. I don't game or anything crazy, just use it for work. The screen is amazing and battery life is solid. Build quality is pretty good but not as good as the OLED Zenbook. Keyboard is solid. Negatives for me: the touchpad, especially the touchpad buttons, are annoying. The fan can be loud and annoying and seems to turn on randomly, not necessarily when using intensive applications either. I mostly use it on two different docking stations but really appreciate the screen brightness and quality when I don't dock. Upgraded from an XPS 13 and the only thing I miss is the bezleless screen and the build quality. That's about all I can comment on as I'm not well-versed in laptops.
In December I ended up purchasing this laptop and the 14.5" ASUS OLED from Best Buy. I ended up returning the ASUS as I thought the OLED image was not as good as this HP. The colors seemed richer when I compared them running animated movies on Disney+. It's true that the fan was likely to turn on for the ASUS as well while streaming Disney movies. The ASUS did feel more substantial (heavier) so it seemed like a "higher quality" machine, but in the end it ran warmer and the image wasn't as good. By the way, I have a couple of Samsung devices, an Oled tablet and fancy Chromebook and I still like this HP screen better as the colors seem more accurate. The whites always seemed to be too blue on the
Samsungs.

This or the Asus Zenbook 14x that was similar price from Bestbuy? The Ryzen 7840u definitely has better battery life than the i7-37900. The HP screen is non-touch vs touch (14x), no thunderbolt vs thunderbolt, 1tb storage vs 512gb storage.

True. But I think it was good for 1 day only. (I recommended it to a friend, but the price went up by 100 when she checked it.)

As much as I'd prefer touchscreen, the complaints about grainy OLED touchscreens are numerous. My first-gen Samsung Galaxy Chromebook doesn't appear to suffer from the graininess, but I DO have numerous settings tweaked to manage the crushed blacks. Though 4k video looks GREAT the setup isn't anything I'd recommend for a for a primary/daily driver (I use it instead as a compliment to my other devices). I can't say if all the forced dark mode tweaking helps me avoid seeing the grain effect (but I also despite default white screens in general). Those same tweaks, for the record, also render some sites unusable in Chrome (so I have alternate browsers installed for sites like Stride Rite, which don't take well to being forced to a dark theme.

And just to describe one bug I have to work around, the colors look beautiful except when the YouTube UI pops up which temporarily shifts everything until I can make the UI disappear.

Were I buying for someone else (e.g. - my sister, who loves OLED color) I'd likely default to buying a non-touch model (especially knowing that she's not a touchscreen fanatic as is the case with me). If I personally buy an OLED with touchscreen I'd likely skip the ASUS in favor of something like a premium HP Spectre or Envy model in the hopes that I might have access to all the necessary tweaks to manage issues specific to daily driving an OLED display. Another option for me personally would be sticking to a Samsung device... despite the many gripes about screen cracking. (Again, something I'd risk personally but wouldn't want to potentially curse anyone else)

In the meantime, I'm sticking to an older, non-OLED, 6th generation CPU Spectre hoping that before the Windows 10 updates run out a killer OLED-touch equipped replacement arrives that mitigates some of these issues.

Good luck!
Jon

The zenbook has a faster but power hungry CPU. However, the GPU is way behind this AMD one.

Depends on your needs but I suggest looking and feeling them in person. I think the Zenbook feels and looks more premium, the HP has a big forehead and chin bezel.

It's interesting that some people view heaviness in a laptop as a good thing while others pay hundreds more for a laptop for it to be lighter. I guess it boils down to whether you will travel will this or not.

OLED needs to be paired with a glass cover IMO as this slicked up oily gloss just doesn't look good, is harder to clean, gets dust stuck on it constantly, has questionable durability, and just gets nasty to look at over time. This is true for all non-glass glossy finishes. It just looks cheap. People used to make fun of this gloss over a decade ago when it was the norm to pair it with terrible TN panels to boost the visual appeal of it's crappy 40% sRGB colors. It was on every $200 laptop. I always feel OLED is wasted on such oily gloss.

That aside, the port selection seems amazing. Two usb-c AND two usb-a on a bitty 14". Be wary this is smaller width wise compared to traditional 14" laptops, since it's 16:10, although this is the new normal now. Everything looks good, but I would still far prefer the zenbook 14x at $700 because that is premium build and glass OLED and you get a bigger 14.5" screen in the same size because the bezels on this pavilion are rather large. You will also get better speakers. The pavilion plastic body is budget and designed as such compared to the metal body of the zenbook.

You might want to question why you think the hp has a plastic body. Hint: don't bet your life on it.

I purchased the zenbook 14x in December as well. I got used to the graininess of the display and now don't notice it. The colors look fantastic but I haven't compared it to a similar display.

I keep the fan profile to whisper setting & the fan runs quietly. It doesn't seem to get that warm, I feel it a bit from time to time but it being winter here, is a plus for now. Battery life is meh with light usage (multiple Firefox tabs & YouTube videos, excel & word). It's what's making me consider this HP with ryzen 7840.

What's really annoying me are the bottom firing speakers. Unless the laptop is on a flat surface to reflect sound off from, it sounds bass heavy, muddled, & lacking treble. Once it's on a flat surface, the speakers sound great. So sitting on the sofa with the laptop in lap, have to find a way to get the sound to reflect off... Sigh.

Have till January 13th to consider return...
