HP Elite Dragonfly
If you're searching for a genuinely powerful and lightweight laptop, you won't find a better option than the outstanding HP Elite Dragonfly. This elegant ultrabook is lightweight and small, making it ideal for mobile employees who are constantly traveling between appointments or taking the train to work.
With an 8th generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processor, 512GB SSD, and a staggering 16GB of RAM, this little laptop packs a punch. The sole drawback is the Intel UHD Graphics 620, which is adequate for casual gaming but not powerful enough to handle AAA titles.
The screen is just FHD, not 4K, but a 4K screen on a laptop this size is unneeded — you'll hardly notice the difference. However, the use of an FHD screen results in a substantial reduction in battery utilization, allowing the HP Elite Dragonfly to run for up to 16 hours between charges (24.5 hours if you upgrade the battery).
It's not cheap, though, with the basic model starting at $1629 USD. Similar specifications and construction quality may be found elsewhere for less money. However, if portability is your key issue and you can afford the high price, the HP Elite Dragonfly is one of the greatest laptops available.
