“With muscle to spare and on-demand support, the HP Dragonfly Pro proves Chromebooks are ready to work.”

Speedy AMD Ryzen 7 processor ; Included macro keys add functionality and customization ; 12 months of concierge support included ; 3:2 aspect ratio touch screen with excellent brightness ; Sharp webcam

Port selection limited to Thunderbolt 3 ; No headphone jack ; Full HD display is decent but outclassed by competitors ; Battery issues in testing ; Too chunky to be an ultraportable

We like the HP Dragonfly Pro business laptop's zippy performance, customizable macro keys, and year of exclusive support, but they don't quite outweigh its meager port selection and confusing battery life results.

Ultra-bright and colorful touch screen ; High-res webcam ; Speedy performance ; VIP chat and phone support ; Fancy RGB keyboard

No audio jack ; Exclusively Thunderbolt 4 ports ; Expensive ; Super-bright screen may impact battery life ; Could stand to lose a few ounces

With a gorgeous display, a sharp webcam, and deluxe tech support, HP's Dragonfly Pro Chromebook is the most elegant ChromeOS laptop on Earth—but it should have more ports.

Great webcam ; Crisp and colorful display ; Sturdy, sleek metal design ; Good performance ; Excellent audio

Less than 10 hours of battery life ; Steep price for a Chromebook

The HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook is a potent and capable laptop that is heavily influenced by Google’s Pixelbook. Sleek styling, and good performance make this premium Chromebook a compelling alternative to Windows or macOS laptops.

Fantastic design ; Excellent premium build quality and build ; Loaded tech specs for a Chromebook ; Fantastic touch display ; Brightness level is amazing ; Fantastic webcam and tools for video conferencing ; Solid performer ; The keyboard and trackpad...

Expensive ; Battery life is good, as long as you don't turn brightness all the way up ; Thunderbolt 4 ports only, a few essentials like HDMI and SD card reader would have been nice to see

It has been a long time since I have used and reviewed a Chromebook. When I went into this review, I thought I’d find more of the same disappointments I’ve always known Chromebooks to have. And some of that still rings true, but not all of it.

Sturdy, reliable design and features ; Excellent performance from Ryzen 7 CPU ; Very good battery life ; Free 24/7 instant support (1 year)

A bit heavy at 3.5lbs ; myHP app and new keys are buggy/weird ; Standby battery life could be better ; No headphone jack, Type-A port

While it lacks older ports and loses some advanced technology, the core features of the new Dragonfly Pro, including excellent battery life and performance, make it an oddly charming laptop that feels sturdy and reliable and is backed by free 24/7 help...
