Our Verdict
HP Pavilion Aero 13 (2024)
Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15 (2023)
The HP Pavilion Aero 13 (2024) is a much better laptop overall than the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15 (2023). The HP has better performance, longer battery life, and a more portable form factor. This makes it ideal for people who need a device for general productivity tasks on the go. However, the 13-inch screen may be too restrictive for some people, particularly if you need to multitask or have multiple documents open simultaneously. In this case, the Lenovo is a fine alternative.
