most capable OEMs out there.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/is-dell-a-good-laptop-brand\/\">Dell<\/a> and, perhaps, <a href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/asus-zenbook-vs-vivobook-vs-proart-studiobook\/\">ASUS<\/a>, they\u2019re the ones that immediately spring to mind whenever someone starts talking about Windows laptops \u2014 and, well, naturally so.<\/p>\n<p>These two companies have been industry leaders for what feels like an <em>eternity<\/em> and, by the looks of it, that isn\u2019t going to change any time soon (if ever).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Their portfolios are <em>incredibly<\/em> diverse and, while they <em>do<\/em> differ in certain regards, it\u2019s fair to say that they have more in common than they\u2019d like to admit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With such large OEMs, an overlap of sorts simply <em>has<\/em> to exist as they always tend to compete on the exact same \u201cfronts.\u201d<strong> They cater to each and every single target demographic<\/strong>: business users, creative professionals, gamers, content creators, productivity workers, and everyone in between.<\/p>\n<p>The good thing about having such a diversified product stack is that no stone is left unturned and no base is left uncovered. The bad thing, however, is that picking the \u201cright\u201d model isn\u2019t nearly as simple or straightforward as one would expect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Both Lenovo and HP have a myriad of <em>seemingly<\/em> <em>different <\/em>laptops which, for better or worse, overlap in both their design <em>and<\/em> their features.<\/strong> This makes picking one over the other a much greater challenge than it has any business being.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, <em>both <\/em>companies are currently held in very high regard by both consumers <em>and<\/em> the media alike, so you really can\u2019t go wrong with either one.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lenovo_vs_HP_-_Which_One_Is_Better\"><\/span>Lenovo vs HP \u2014 Which One Is Better?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_25416\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25416\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25416\" src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2024\/01\/HP-Laptop-Features.jpg\" alt=\"HP Laptop Features\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2024\/01\/HP-Laptop-Features.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2024\/01\/HP-Laptop-Features-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2024\/01\/HP-Laptop-Features-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2024\/01\/HP-Laptop-Features-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2024\/01\/HP-Laptop-Features-1536x810.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\"><\/noscript><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25416\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25416 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%202048%201080%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"HP Laptop Features\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%202048%201080%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2024\/01\/HP-Laptop-Features.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2024\/01\/HP-Laptop-Features-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2024\/01\/HP-Laptop-Features-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2024\/01\/HP-Laptop-Features-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2024\/01\/HP-Laptop-Features-1536x810.jpg 1536w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2024\/01\/HP-Laptop-Features.jpg\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-25416\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hp.com\/us-en\/shop\/pdp\/omen-gaming-laptop-16t-wf000-161-76w28av-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HP<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>As already mentioned, Lenovo and HP are very much entrenched in the OEM pantheon; they\u2019ve been leading the market for well over a decade, and their sales numbers and overall reach speak for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s very little to fault them for although, to be fair, it\u2019s not like <em>all<\/em> of their products and laptops warrant a recommendation. <strong>Far from it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The quality of their devices tends to vary from one generation to the next, which stresses the importance of reading and watching as many reviews as you possibly can before making any kind of purchasing decision.<\/p>\n<p>Their laptops are incredibly well-built, they\u2019re cooled properly, they don\u2019t sound like jet engines taking off when pushed to their limits, and they come with respectable port selections and keyboards which are simply a joy to type on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Then again, these strengths and virtues are by no means<\/strong> <strong><em>universal<\/em>. <\/strong>The model <em>you\u2019re <\/em>looking at might just be a \u201cdud.\u201d Someone once said that there are no bad OEMs, just bad products \u2014 <strong>and we couldn\u2019t agree more.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No company or OEM is exempt from making mistakes.
