Our Verdict
Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2019)
HP Pavilion x360 11 (2021)
The HP Pavilion x360 11 (2021) and the Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2019) are very different laptops. The HP is a budget 2-in-1 laptop that runs Windows, while the Apple is a premium clamshell laptop that runs macOS. The Apple is better than the HP in every way, but it's also significantly more expensive. That said, if you only need a compact device to browse the web or watch content on the go, the HP is smaller and more portable.
