Pros and Cons

Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7640

Strengths

It's a very nice laptop, I think you could actually probably upgrade stuff it does have the screws on the back you can pull this thing apart and uh possibly upgrade stuff
It has a cooling fans on the bottom very very nice laptop
The keys are backlit and they're a little bright let's go ahead and turn my light off I don't know if you guys can see see that there but they are back lit so super cool there
It does have some vents here on the side on the back uh that looked really really nice I like the color it does look gray but I'm going to tell you it's it's like a light blue
The Dell logo looks very nice and it has a light blue-ish gray color
It would make a great birthday gift, present for Mother's Day, um a present for your wife your kids a graduation present going to college this would be perfect
It was strong enough and powerful enough for me to run DJ Sado super happy with it

Weaknesses

The display is not 4K but hey it's perfect enough for what I'm doing
There are two different kinds of charging ports, which can be confusing
I wish the backlit keys were a bit brighter, but they're just right for a darker room
It was pricey when I ordered it ($1,100), and even now it's still quite expensive ($1,500)
The laptop has some vents on the side and back that might get in the way of your lap or desk
It doesn't have any standout features compared to other laptops in its class
I wish I had done a full review before using it for my gigs this year

HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook

Strengths

the dragonfly is comfortable to work on and is easy to travel with
it has an excellent display with a 3x2 aspect ratio that provides more vertical View doing space than your average standard 16x9 screen
the keyboard and trackpad are also unsurprisingly excellent, the keys are firm but not too firm and have plenty of travel for a relatively thin laptop
the touchpad provides a very good experience overall, it's a haptic touchpad with customized vibrations for some specific actions
Cutting Edge specs with a 12th generation Intel Core i5 processor built-in LTE 256 gigs of storage and 8 gigabytes of RAM that's plenty for basically anything you want to do in Chrome OS

Weaknesses

the cheapest model costs an eye-popping eleven hundred and fifty dollars, which is crazy money for a Chromebook
battery life is solid if not spectacular, I got between 6 and 8 hours of normal usage
for the cost of the dragonfly you could also pick up an extremely capable Windows laptop or MacBook Air
the price starts at over $1000, making it hard to recommend due to its high cost compared to other Chromebooks on the market
the screen has an unremarkable 60hz refresh rate, but that shouldn't be a major issue for most people
