Pros and Cons

HP ProBook 445 G11

Strengths

The laptop weighs less than 1.5 kg, making it easy to carry around in a bag without feeling heavy or uncomfortable.
The keyboard is spacious, has nice key travel, and even has a mute button for the system audio and microphone.
The silver color with classic HP branding looks minimal and professional. The hinge is sturdy, and there's minimal wobble when using it on a lap or desk.
The laptop has most necessary ports, including HDMI, USB 3, Type-C Thunderbolt, Ethernet, and headphone jack.
Our Ryzen 7 variant delivered decent scores in benchmarks like Cinebench R23 (9,100) and Geek Ben 6 (6,781).
We got around 8-9 hours of battery life with 70% brightness doing normal tasks.

Weaknesses

The 14-inch 1080p display could have better brightness and color reproduction. It's also prone to smudges and fingerprint marks.
The speakers at the bottom lack bass, and sound is muffled when placed on a couch or sofa.
While watching videos or listening to music, we found the laptop lacking in terms of display quality and speaker performance.
As expected, this isn't a gaming laptop, but it's also not optimized for gaming. Don't try gaming on it if you're a serious gamer.
The price might be steep, with the Ryzen 5 variant starting from around ₹60,000.
The display is not ideal for media consumption, with lackluster brightness and color reproduction.

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
