5) HP Dragonfly Pro

Price: To be announced

Chromebooks are the answer to portability and power, and the latest ChromeOS-based laptops promise even more than that. Apart from the brilliant 14-inch LCD display with 2560×1600 resolution and 1,200 nits, this premium Chromebook will feature an Intel Core i5-1235U processor and Intel UHD graphics. It also has an 8MP webcam and four Thunderbolt 4 ports.

Another unique perspective is the RGB lighting on its keyboard, which could impress gamers. However, the Dragonfly Pro isn't built for hardcore gaming, despite its 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and fairly decent CPU, as integrated graphics can only handle restricted gaming sessions.
