Our Verdict
Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15 (2021)
HP Pavilion x360 14 (2021)
The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15 (2021) and the HP Pavilion x360 14 (2021) are both thin and light Windows laptops available with Intel 11th Gen CPUs. However, the Lenovo is a clamshell laptop, while the HP is a 2-in-1 convertible with a 360-hinge. The Lenovo laptop's build feels sturdier, and its battery lasts longer. It also has a brighter display to combat glare, and its keyboard provides a better typing experience. If you plan on connecting the laptop to an external display, keep in mind that the HDMI port on the Lenovo has a maximum output resolution of 4k @ 30Hz, while the HP supports 4k @ 60Hz. That said, both laptops can output a video signal through the USB-C port at a maximum resolution of 4k @ 60Hz.
