HP Dragonfly Pro

Overview

I think this Dragonfly is great hardware. The lack of a headphone jack is a disappointment, but the combination of performance and battery life that it offers is better than I’ve seen from a Windows PC in quite some time.

If you don’t have a strong preference for macOS, you’ll get a lot of value with the HP Dragonfly Pro. It’s efficient, long-lasting and, unlike the Mac, can actually flex its muscles and play games during your downtime.

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 unimpressive battery life and meager port selection.

The HP Dragonfly Pro is a sleek 14-inch laptop with excellent battery life and solid performance. However, HP's support software is sluggish and the port selection is skimpy.

The HP Dragonfly Pro has it all: great design, a lightweight and thin form factor, great performance, and a lovely display and keyboard. But some units have overheating and battery issues which, when combined with its higher pricetag, could be a breaking point for its target audience.

HP's Dragonfly Pro is a pretty laptop that shops with a year of 24/7 on-demand support. HP says it's aimed at non-tech-savvy freelancers. But starting at $1,399 and weighing over 3.5 pounds, it doesn't seem particularly well suited to on-the-go users in the often cash-strapped world of the gig economy.

The HP Dragonfly Pro brings the Dragonfly series to consumers, packing a custom AMD Ryzen mobile processor with dynamic power adjustment, great build quality, and a whole lot more.

After testing the HP Dragonfly Pro for the past four weeks, taking it to Spain and using it for most of my remote work, it has become one of my favorite devices for productivity and everyday use. I think I have finally gotten used to the hotkeys on the right side, and in some cases they have even saved me during a video call by quickly changing audio and video settings.
