I would choose to upgrade my system to HP Envy, due to its advancements such as a core i7 processor, more RAM of 8GB, and better video graphics card (Nvidia).

The HP Envy would be my model of choice when creating a new system since it is very dynamic and portable, unlike the ProBook. It is easy to change motherboard parts such as RAM and the processor than it is with the ProBook (HP, 2017).
