88% HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook Review: Worth Every Penny
Source: CNet EN→zh-CN
Many Chromebooks are small and plastic and low cost. The HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook isn't like most Chromebooks. This 14-inch machine is among a rare breed of higher-end Chromebooks that also includes the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 and the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2. It's most similar to the HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook we reviewed a year ago, losing some of the enterprise features for a slightly lower price. And I mean slightly: The Dragonfly Pro Chromebook is $1,000. It's too spendy for most consumers looking to pick up a Chromebook as a cheap alternative to a Windows laptop or MacBook. It makes more sense for its target audience of always-connected freelancers and contract workers who'll use it day in and day out.

90% HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook (2023) Review
Source: Trusted Reviews EN→zh-CN
The HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook (2023) is an excellent entry into the high-end ChromeOS stakes and, in terms of the display, keyboard and port options, it’s better than the Windows 11 version of the device which costs $400 more. I loved the design and build quality, the keyboard is a joy to type on, the display is extremely bright and performs well and all the power you’ll need for most ChromeOS-based tasks is right here. $1,000 on a Chromebook is always eye-raising, considering the traditional remit of these machines, but the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook goes a long way towards justifying the price tag and the extra expenditure over some of the other models around. Only the battery life lets it down. If you’re after something more affordable, consider the £399/$399 Acer Chromebook Spin 513 or, if you want some luxury and long battery life, look for a deal on the still excellent, but now a few years old, Google Pixelbook Go.

HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook review
Source: Android Guys EN→zh-CN
The HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook looks and feels like a $1000 PC. It has an incredible display, zippy performance, wonderful sound, an impressive webcam, and decent battery life. The Dragonfly Pro Chromebook is sure to impress anyone who is looking for a premium Chromebook. If you’re looking for a Chromebook with no compromises, then the Dragonfly Chromebook Pro from HP won’t disappoint. However, at $1000, the Dragonfly Chromebook Pro is priced at the higher end of the spectrum for Chromebooks. You’ll want to make sure a Chromebook fully serves all of your needs before spending the equivalent of gaming laptop on one.

94% HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook review: premium-level hardware meets ChromeOS again
Source: Techaeris EN→zh-CN
It has been a long time since I have used and reviewed a Chromebook. When I went into this review, I thought I’d find more of the same disappointments I’ve always known Chromebooks to have. And some of that still rings true, but not all of it. The HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook is insanely beautiful and well-built! The display is fantastic, colorful, bright, and something you’d expect from a MacBook or XPS. The Bang & Olufsen speakers are outstanding, even better than some high-end PCs. There are new apps that can deal with some of the work I need in a workstation, such as LumaFusion for video editing and Krita for photo editing. HP made the Dragpnfly Pro Chromebook with some added goodies that make this a great value, like the customizable backlit RGB keyboard, haptics, a great camera, and 24/7 live support. I was astonished at what this Chromebook had to offer. It still falls short of a full Windows PC or MacBook, but if you’re invested in the ChromeOS ecosystem, this is the best Chromebook you can buy right now and worth every penny if this is the only device you need.

To be sure, $999 is costly for a Chromebook, but the HP Dragonfly Pro is a better buy than the enterprise-oriented Dragonfly Elite (more than $1,700 as tested). Its support, performance, webcam, sound, and keyboard are all first-class—no, the RGB backlighting isn't really a productivity boon, but it's a fun gimmick—and its screen is stunning. HP failing to provide even one or two specified ports, like a USB-A, an HDMI, and an audio jack that Acer's Chromebook Spin 714 gives you for $270 less, makes it all the more frustrating. Also, beware that such a bright screen might limit this Chromebook's battery life for such a price. If you don't mind buying and carrying dongles, the Dragonfly Pro is one of the fastest and finest Chrome laptops we've seen, but we can't quite put it above the Acer as our latest Editors' Choice award holder.

80% HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook review: an incredible device too ahead of its time
Source: Techradar EN→zh-CN
Right off the bat, I love the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook. Everything from its attractive style (at least in its Ceramic White colorway) to the pleasure of actually using it for work, this is a laptop I would consider buying myself once this review is done. But if there's one thing I can hold against this device, it's that it might be a bit too ahead of its time. There will come a day, hopefully soon, when Chrome OS can truly compete with the best laptops running Windows or macOS, namely the MacBook Air (M2) and the Dell XPS 13 (2022). Both of those devices are roughly around the same price as the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook, though you do get some better specs for the money with the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook than you do with either Dell's best laptop or Apple's featherweight juggernaut.

90% HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook review: fast, modern, and helpful
Source: Digital Trends EN→zh-CN
The Dragonfly Pro Chromebook is incredibly fast, built as well as the best laptops around, and has several features that bring it in line with its Windows competitors. Not many ChromeOS machines have haptic touchpads and Thunderbolt 4, not to mention live 24/7 technical support that’s so easily accessible. It’s expensive at $999, but it’s one of the best Chromebooks around and raises the platform to compete with Windows 11 and MacOS more directly. It’s still ChromeOS, so if that doesn’t work for you, then this isn’t your machine. But if you’re looking for a quality Chromebook that doesn’t compromise, the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook qualifies.

80% HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook review: The Pixelbook successor
Source: Laptop Mag EN→zh-CN
Thanks to Google’s heavy involvement during the development of the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook, you get the feeling this is a glimpse at what the next Pixelbook could’ve been. Thanks to its potent Intel Core i5 CPU and a generous 16GB of RAM, this beast can handle just about any task you set before it — except tasks that require a potent GPU. However, suppose you’re like many people working in the new norm of at least partially remote. In that case, it's a great option to slip into your bag and lug back and forth thanks to being lightweight and capable of handling your daily document-pushing in Google Workspace with ease. At $999, this is still a bit of a reach when you can snag a more potent M1 MacBook Air for the same price (or even cheaper in the sales). But if your heart is set on a powerful Chrome OS experience, this is a great option.

80% HP's Dragonfly Pro is the best Chromebook you can buy right now

All that said, the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook is one of the easier laptops to recommend, especially if you've already bought into the ChromeOS platform. With 16GB of RAM and a 12th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, there's little to worry about when it comes to performance and day-to-day operations. Not to mention, consistent updates over the past years have given ChromeOS a more leveled playing field between it and competing operating systems. Thanks to that maturity, HP had every opportunity to capitalize on the Dragonfly Pro's hardware -- and it most certainly did.

60% I’m sick of reviewing gorgeous Chromebooks with bad battery
Source: The Verge EN→zh-CN
Iwanted so much to love this device, and I do think it’s something special. It offers an eclectic combination of features that you won’t find in any other Chromebook on the market. The Elite Dragonfly Chromebook was good; this is equally funky but more affordable. Unfortunately, HP didn’t put a big enough tank in this chassis to juice the Core i5 in combination with a bright, high-resolution screen. I love using Chromebooks like this. But their battery life, compared to what you can get from much cheaper devices, is often a disappointment. I hope that HP, Samsung, Lenovo, and other manufacturers who are vying to fill the premium slot the Pixelbook left behind can make improvements here. Because these are thin, light, and gorgeous machines. They aren’t meant to live on a desk.

If you were keeping your fingers crossed for a Pixelbook 2 from Google, it seems as though we're out of luck. But the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook looks to be the closest that we'll get. It combines performance with elegance to provide the complete package, including almost everything you could want from a Chromebook.

HP Dragonfly Pro and Dragonfly Pro Chromebook hands-on at CES 2023
Source: Engadget
Of all the new products HP is showing off at CES this year, arguably the most noteworthy is a pair of new Dragonfly laptops. Adapted from the enterprise-centric Elite Dragonfly series, the new Dragonfly Pro and Dragonfly Pro Chromebook are designed for consumers who are overwhelmed by specs. HP believes that for some people, having to choose from 30 different laptop configurations of RAM, storage and other options is a deterrent. For that reason, the Dragonfly Pro and Pro Chromebook come in preset configurations and you really only need to decide whether you want the Pro or the Chromebook (though for the Pro you can choose one of two preconfigured models).
