I'm deciding between a 14" Lenovo Yoga 7i or 9i (likely 9i given the better display) and an HP Spectre X360 14". I've done a lot of research on them and they all seem well-reviewed, and the Yoga 9i and Spectre X360 in particular are always compared to each other and are very comparable in specs.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone with recommendations between them, particularly people who have made the same decision or have experience with one or both of these laptops. I've seen them both in person and like them both and don't have a strong opinion as between them, so I'm really interested to know if there are less obvious reasons to go with one or the other.

In particular, I keep my laptops a long time so I'm very interested to know about the actual/observed reliability (or if not, then the expected reliability) of these two laptops compared to each other.
