Retailing for around $1,269.99, the Elite Dragonfly Chromebook was prohibitively expensive and the only major problem with an otherwise outstanding laptop. When the HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook first hit store shelves back in 2022, we were awestruck by its power, efficiency, and unfortunately, its price. You get Wi-Fi 6 for faster, more reliable connectivity - and Bluetooth 5.0, so your headset won't drop out as often - and the 45W charging brick in the box tops off the up to 10-hour battery in just 90 minutes. Like most of the newer Chromebooks on this list, the Flex 5i comes with two USB 3.1 Type-C ports and a single legacy USB-A port, as well as a microSD slot for expandable storage, and a headphone jack. This version comes with Intel's 11th Generation i3 processor with 8GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, an upgrade from the 2020 Flex 5's 4GB RAM configurations that is welcome, as more and more of us are working from home. You can comfortably type on its backlit keyboard for hours at a time - it's what I'm using to write this right now - and sitting on either side of the keyboard are speakers that will get nice and loud as you jazz up your workday with some tunes. The 13.3-inch touchscreen offers easy split-screening as you spread out your work.
The bezels around the Flex 5i's 1080p screen are just enough for you to grip when flipping between laptop, stand, and tablet modes. Barely bigger than an 11.6-inch Chromebook, the Flex 5i has the best blend of performance, portability, and price.
If your next laptop is needed to fit in a specific budget while being able to survive your next semester, check out our favorite Chromebook on the market for students, the Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook.
