HP Elite Dragonfly

From £1,619 | $1,659 www.hp.com A dream come true for the traveling professional

- 

When a business laptop like the HP Elite Dragonfly crosses our desk, we kind of roll our eyes and get on with testing it. Laptops for professionals never tend to be too terribly exciting or much to look at, after all, as they’re designed to get a job done rather than be shiny consumer products. But what if there was one that could do both?

The HP Elite Dragonfly is packed not only with the security and IT features that businesses demand, but it also includes speedy hardware, plenty of ports, and most importantly: an aesthetic to die for.

The Dragonfly is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful 2-in-1 laptops we’ve tested in a long time, and it’s so thin and light that we took an entire month to review it – just so we had an excuse to travel with it.

Now, the Dragonfly definitely isn’t cheap. This thing will run you over £1,600 just to get in on the ground floor. Being targeted at travelling professionals means this price point makes a little more sense, but this is definitely a laptop that has major crossover appeal.

Hardware and design

What makes this portable PC indispensable for the travelling professional, though, is the LTE integration. Some driver issues stopped us from having a totally seamless experience, but it’s a feature we’re having trouble imagining life without.

As travelling professionals ourselves, the Dragonfly has been a dream come true. If you’re constantly on the road, the lightweight design, always-connected LTE coverage and the speedy internals make it one of the best laptops out there.
