Pros and Cons

HP Elite Dragonfly Max

Strengths

The most beautiful laptop or business laptop in 2020. I still think it's one of the most beautiful laptops today.
It has a tiny 2.49 pound package with a CNC magnesium aluminum body and they're even using ocean plastics in the speaker grills to help save the environment.
One of the best keyboards I've ever typed on, it is so tactile it has such a satisfying click when you're using it
The speakers are actually quite good, you have two speakers on the bottom which are your subwoofers and you have two speakers on top
It's very portable, light, and has tons of value
Pretty good battery life, it gets 8 hours and 45 minutes
