While similar to the previous versions, these G8 models get a performance boost thanks to Intel “Tiger Lake” 11th Gen CPUs and 5G wireless support. HP’s EliteBook 830 G7 and EliteBook G840 G7 were among our favorite business laptops, falling short to only the ThinkPad X1 Carbon. If the improvements made to these 2020-21 models fix the few minor complaints we had about the previous ones, they could leapfrog Lenovo and jump to the top of our best business laptops page....

It’s like comparing dogs to cats, or macOS to Windows....

The success of the iPhone means that Apple’s most successful operating system is also its most modern. With the introduction of upgraded iPad Pro models and the unveiling of iPad productivity features in iOS 11, Apple appears to be going all-in on the iPad as its vision of the productivity machine of the future.
