In our HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook review, we liked its bright, sharp 2K display, versatile 360-hinge design and outstanding performance. We also like its durable attractive design and gave it an overall rating of 4 out of 5-stars.
In one test, we threw 28 Google Chrome tabs at it with two 4K YouTube videos running simultaneously while typing away in Google Docs. The HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook kept chugging along and slowed down. Running Android apps was a similar experience, and with its 360-degree hinge, it makes a reasonable tablet in a pinch.
For connecting external devices, the Elite Dragonfly Chromebook supplies you an ample array of ports. You get 1 x USB Type-C (USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort 1.4) 1 x SuperSpeed USB Type-A port, and 1 x HDMI 2.0 port. There's also a headphone/microphone combo jack and microSD slot on board.
At 2.8 pounds and 11.6 x 8.7 x 0.7 inches, the HP Elite Dragonfly fits easily into a backpack or shoulder bag. It's on par with the Dell XPS 13 (2.8 pounds, 0.6 inches) and HP Envy 13 (2.9 pounds, 0.7 inches). It's slightly heavier and thicker than the MacBook Air M2 (2.7 pounds, 0.4 inches).
If you're looking for a flexible machine, the HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook is one to consider.
