HP Elite Dragonfly Max

The HP Elite Dragonfly Max has a bright display and long battery life, but its performance could be stronger. And it's priced very high, even for a business-class laptop.

HP's ultraportable Elite Dragonfly Max offers a tempting mix of 5G, a 5-megapixel webcam, and a security screen that thwarts nosy seatmates, but you'll pay an extra grand for the combo.

The new HP Elite Dragonfly Max has an upgraded webcam and a number of heavy-duty security features. All models include HP’s Sure View Reflect privacy screen.

The HP Elite Dragonfly Max will turn heads with its gorgeous design, and its webcam will make you the envy of every Zoom call. The 13.3-inch display may be too small if you don’t travel like you used to, however, and you’ll get better battery life from competing premium business convertibles.

HP improves on the previous iteration of its Elite Dragonfly 2-in-1 with a superior processor and some solid quality-of-life improvements — but the price tag is hefty.

Dress the Spectre x360 13 in a professional suit and tie and you'll have the EliteBook Dragonfly Max. The unit prioritizes Sure View and low fan noise to a fault as picture quality is blurrier and performance is slower, respectively, than many other 13.3-inch laptops with 11th gen Intel.
