HP Dragonfly Pro Review - INSANE Battery life!

Would you buy this? Battery life is good! Also, if you enjoyed the video feel free to like and subscribe! Thanks for taking the time to watch it.

wait I cannot even upgrade the ssd on this? hard pass for me tbh, because I have a couple of ssds lying around which can be used as alternatives so I can go for lower end ssd instead

[@Piketom1]

This laptop is not without faults but it will certainly give the XPS 13 a run for it's money in terms of performance and efficiency and is way cheaper than a MacBook Air.

[@Nikhil-yh9zc]

when can we expect AMD 7040 series laptop processor?

[@andyH_England]

Does this not start at $1399? Is there a special edition base $999 model?

[@Lee.S321]

No OLED option or expandable SSD is a dealbreaker for me. I have a 4TB 2280 SSD i'd want to use in whichever laptop I move to, & after spending the last few years looking at a high res OLED display on my laptop all IPS displays look mediocre by comparison. HP's going in the wrong direction with this.

[@RohitAndDas]

Hello Matthew. An academic researcher here. A lot of our work involves software that is extremely nimble, and we utilize only 20% of the performance of any machine. We value battery life as the most useful quality in a laptop. We are a particularly good target market for these sorts of machines. Also, I don't think all pro users necessarily have to be video editors or compilers pushing the limits of performance for the machine.

Its an engineering marvel for the PRICE ,"Vapour Chamber" silent under full load, 14 hour battery. Its a Windos M1 with no upgradability. This vapour chamber allow it to boost higher single core than Mac m2. also iGPU is compareble to low watt gtx 1650 can game if you want to, vapour chamber can help to tune and pump more wattage to igpu with ryzen controller. Its the same CPU is faster than MACbook pro M2 in cinebench R23.unplugged performance is almost same.

[@andrasbognar8932]

100% agree. 40-50 browser tabs open while writing a publication; some graphical work on the figures and statistics - that is all I do on a laptop. Battery life; great display are crucial and the solid build quality. Nice materials and design are important, since I spend ~10 hrs everyday working on it. Benchmarks are really no issue for me.

[@ItsNicolau]

Wow, I'm blown away by HP's incredible work with AMD. So many characteristics of this laptop NEED to be adopted by other manufacturers (vapour chamber on thin & light laptops, haptic touchpad, magnetic back plate). It's incredible to see a greatly engineered product, bravo!! 👏🏻👌🏻

[@abaj006]

That is an incredible real world battery life and performance for an ultra portable Windows machine. With the 680m and the vapour chamber cooling, I bet it can easily handle some light games while staying cool and quiet.

[@bryans8656]

Thanks for another unbiased review Matt. I had some significant quality issues with HP laptops several years ago (around the time they picked up the Compaq line) and I've been gun shy about their products ever since.

[@MatthewMoniz]

You're welcome Bryan! Sorry to hear you had issues /=

[@christine_notchristina]

i bought a "consumer" laptop from HP+AMD in 2019. I had Bluetooth driver and audio issues, battery life degraded from just one year of use - now it has to be plugged in just to be used. i wish this laptop's good battery life actually last more than a year.

[@lordtardar4639]

What continues to baffle me is the addition of keys with very specific functions to new laptops instead of Pg Up/Down and Home/End buttons which would come in extremely handy in typing and navigating webpages. I'd rather have a keyboard with a standard layout than an additional row of keys that should've remained shortcuts.

[@ChandrasekarThodla]

Exactly my thoughts!

Such a shame this doesn't come with an OLED screen 😔 There's a lot of competitive Windows ultrabooks this year and the best ones all have OLEDs. I love my Asus Zenbook S, but if it wasn't for the screen, it'd be a very average laptop with decent battery life. The same I think applies with this HP laptop, it's probably decent but not having a really good screen in 2023 is a bit of a deal breaker!

Great review as always Matthew. I am in the market for a new laptop and this looks promising (except may be the screen). Two questions - 1. You mentioned that the touchpad is haptic, so directly comparable to something like Macbook air. How would you rate the touchpad on this in comparison to Macbook air touchpads? Is it comparable to the latter? 2. What is the amount of HP/third-party bloatware in this computer and how much do they affect the overall performance? Can they be uninstalled without breaking any of the internal hardware management, e.g. battery management? Many thanks in advance!

PSA If you are picking this laptop up for creative work, please be aware that illustrator will not use the Radeon 680M. I believe this is because the dedicated RAM for the 680m is around 512MB, and the minimum spec for illustrator is 1024MB.

Thank you. I wish there was more real-world usage information like what you have provided.

[@Gokulbalram]

At the time I did not know about this, but some laptops have the capability to change the amount of VRAM they have through the Radeon Software, but I'd say if you're still interested in this particular model, do some research about whether that switch does work because HP sometimes likes disable features like these

[@af4396]

People hate HP, but I bought my first HP laptop (envy 13) last year and I don't see any problems with it (in terms of what I expect from a 700 dollar laptop). It's built well, has a beautiful display, love the hardware cam/mic controls, decent keyboard, small but nice trackpad and even the IO is decent. I feel like whatever quality concerns people have are from the past, and HP has been stepping it up, because all of their recent products in the 800+ price point category seem to be quality and very competitive. I love that this Dragonfly laptop has a haptic trackpad... It's very Mac-like. Good on HP.

Finally YT reviewing AMD stuff. I know Intel are throwing money around in an effort to stop their decline, but AMD is the way to go especially in ultrabooks. This laptop sacrifices a flashy display like the Galaxy Book3 Pro for an all round value package, so no 120Hz or OLED but cheaper, more efficient with better specs than the base Galaxy Book3 Pro. For a user that needs an ultrabook for work more than leisure then this pummels the Galaxy and is a very easy win. As for the usual complaints in the comments that it is not upgradeable, that is where the ultrabook market is going. For better thermals, improved latency, greater reliability, cheaper to build and less space, modular ultrabooks will die out. I use a MB Pro 13, but if I needed Windows apps, then this would be my ultrabook of choice, AMD and value.

[@cameronbosch1213]

I agree with your comment except "the upgradability is where the market is going" cannot happen. Soldered SSDs will ALWAYS be a deal breaker on computers. I don't want a brick or an expensive motherboard replacement once the SSD fails! (And it will.)
