Pros and Cons

HP ProBook 450 G9

Strengths

The laptop's all-aluminum chassis is lightweight, stopping the scales at 1.79 kilograms.
The structural Integrity of the laptop is on par with some Flex from the lid and a sturdy base.
Typing on the keyboard is great thanks to the Long Key travel and clicky feedback.

Weaknesses

The speakers are a bit too quiet even at max volume.
There are deviations across the entire frequency range of the speakers.
The laptop doesn't show the best performance in Cinebench scores compared to other business laptops with the same processor
The integrated Iris GPU is not as powerful as some other business laptops, and the mx-570 handles itself similarly.
The display only covers 51% of the srgb color gamut, making it unsuitable for Creator work.
The laptop's cooling system, while quiet and cool, doesn't allow the GPU to reach its peak performance.

HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook

Strengths

The HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook has a bunch of cool Tech and gadgets but also uses all of them to make your experience memorable every time you pick it up to use it.
It's an easy recommend with its hardware editions adding to the overall experience and not just bolted on for no good reason.
HP is offering users a 24/7 dedicated helpline, a diagnostic tool, and accidental damage protection all rolled into one, called the HP Support Assistant, which gives you access to help via phone or chat whenever you need it.
The 999 dollar asking price feels right given the Chromebook's features and no odd configurations or options.

Weaknesses

There is a lack of convertible form factor
Missing USI pen support for a certain set of users
Users might not know exactly what they're getting with its limited color choice (ceramic white and sparkling black)
Some users might find the price to be a bit steep, although it's justified given the features
