r/elitebook

Option 1: HP EliteBook 845 G8
Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U
16GB RAM
14” display
AMD integrated graphics
$300

Option 2: Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 2
Intel i5-1145G7 (11th gen)
16GB RAM
14” touchscreen
Intel Iris Xe graphics
$325

I keep seeing mixed opinions:

Some say Ryzen 5650U is much stronger than the Intel i5

Others say ThinkPads are more durable and have better keyboards/build quality

Not sure how much touchscreen and Iris Xe actually matter in real use

Im planning to buy a used elitebook 645 G11 with ryzen 5 pro 7535U for around $300. Is it worth it? Or are there any better options?
