Incredible battery life
Awesome design
Enterprise-level security
Expensive
Pro-level features not for everyone
Business laptops have had a quiet resurgence lately, with the likes of HP, Dell, and Lenovo blurring the line between their flagship consumer laptops and the long-running Elite, Latitude, and ThinkPad lines. Across the board, business laptops are getting slimmer and faster, borrowing design flourishes from the best consumer laptops available.
Of course, a business laptop is still first and foremost about getting work done, and the HP Elite Dragonfly G2 is no slouch there. It's fast, sure, but it also comes with a host of features to help you get through the day. Truly all-day battery life, a spectacular keyboard and trackpad combo, all the major ports you'd need (no dongle required)-and built-in Tile tracking in case you misplace it-make it one of the best all-around business laptops we've ever tested.
About the HP Elite Dragonfly G2
The Elite Dragonfly G2 was released late 2019, updated early in 2020 with built-in Tile support. Our review unit still features an 8th-gen Intel i7 with vPro processor, though we do expect 10th-gen processors to come to market in this model sometime soon. Here are the rest of the specs from HP:
Processor: Intel Core i7-8665U vPro (i3 to i7 configs available)
Memory: 16GB RAM (8GB configs available)
Storage: 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD (up to 2TB NVMe available)
Display: 13.3-inch 1080p, 1000 nit touchscreen w/ HP Sure View (4K available)
Ports: SuperSpeed USB-A, USB-C w/ Thunderbolt (x2), HDMI, headphone jack
Touchpad: Microsoft Precision Touchpad
Graphics: UHD Graphics 620 (integrated)
Wireless: Intel WiFi 5 (2x32), Bluetooth 5.0, (LTE Cat 9 and Cat 16 available)
Battery: 4-cell 56-WHr battery (non-replaceable, 2-cell 38-WHr available but don't do that)
Charger: 65-watt AC Adapter, USB-C
Weight: 2.2lbs
Dimensions: 11.98 x 7.78 x 0.63 inches (W x H x D)
Warranty: 3-year limited warranty
Our review unit in this case ships with the aforementioned 8th-gen Intel i7-8665U CPU, which runs at 1.9GHz with a boost up to 2.11GHz. It has 16GB of RAM and Windows 10 Pro. Not mentioned above, this model includes a built-in privacy screen called HP Sure View, which can be activated by a key on the function row and blocks off-angle viewing.
This particular model also includes a built-in Tile tracker, which is installed into one of the M.2 slots inside. It isn't a major hit to battery life or weight, but you can't get the Tile tracker and a built-in WWAN/LTE modem, which is a bit of a bummer.
