I'd give some importance to the mechanical integrity of the housings. Grab it on either side of the keyboard a twist lightly.

Is it solid, does it creek?

How far does the display fold back? A full 180 will keep the hinges from breaking if it gets inadvertently flattened. Are the Hinges robustly designed?

Will it be easy to clean without spending time on little nooks and crannies?

I don't know how you would find out, but if the power jack is soldered direct to the motherboard, stress on the cord will eventually break the solder joint.

HP? I'm currently burnt out on that brand. I admit to there being some irrationality in that.

I would not recommend any item with one of those pivoting displays. The joints take up volume and are overly flexible.
