Reviewer score 85% (normalized by Neofiliac)The HP Elite Dragonfly G2 is a powerhouse that's even more well suited to productivity than the last version of the PC. Under the hood, the laptop packs an 11th Generation Intel Core processor. There are four stereo speakers built-in which are tuned by B&O, you get great depth when it comes to the sound quality. Placed discreetly in the top bezel there's a 720p webcam. The only downsides are that the webcam could be better and the battery life is just average.
Pros
- Beautiful 2-in-1 design
- Powerful performance
- Excellent keyboard
Cons
- Average battery life
- Poor webcam quality

The Dragonfly's small, lightweight chassis packs way more endurance than it has any right to.

- Comfortable keyboard
- Excellent battery life
Cons
- Mediocre audio quality
- No Thunderbolt 3
