Pros and Cons

HP Dragonfly Folio

Strengths

The laptop has a unique pull-forward design that's both attractive and useful.
The faux leather exterior is grippy, durable, and looks nice - it's a great alternative to the usual metal or plastic bodies.
The keyboard is nice and responsive with good tactile feedback.
The pen included with touch screen is Wacom AES and has a good set of software features - it's perfect for note-taking.
The laptop supports Intel x211 Wi-Fi 6E with Bluetooth 5.3, as well as optional 4G LTE or 5G Intel 5000 series modem.
The display on the base IPS model is decent, with near full sRGB coverage and high contrast ratio.
The battery life is good, with up to 8-9 hours of mixed productivity work and video conferencing.
The laptop has a compact size and weighs around 2.5 pounds - making it perfect for business travelers.

Weaknesses

The display calibration is not particularly good, especially in terms of color accuracy.
The OLED display option may have worse battery life due to its higher resolution and power-hungry nature.
The pen has some jitter when doing slow diagonal lines - although this didn't seem to affect sketching or drawing.
The laptop only has two Thunderbolt 4 ports, which may not be enough for heavy users.
The headphone jack is a nano SIM card slot if you go with the 4G or 5G options - limiting its use as an audio-only device.
The color gamut of the base IPS display isn't suitable for professional content creators.
The laptop's size and weight may make it difficult to carry in large quantities, despite being compact.
The price of the HP Dragonfly Folio is not explicitly mentioned, which may be a drawback for some users.

Dell Latitude 15 5520

The display has thin side bezels, making it a great choice for those who want a more immersive viewing experience.
The keyboard is great, with semi-clicky feedback and fairly long key travel, making it comfortable for long use.
The addition of a backlight on the keyboard is also great for those long nights or dimly lit environments.
The laptop has a beefy 63 watt hours battery unit which lasts for 14 hours and 43 minutes of web browsing and 10 hours and 38 minutes of video playback.
The design uses bioplastics, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
