 HP makes some of our favorite laptops, but with so many models, it can be difficult to know which one to choose. From the premium Spectre line to the Omen gaming rigs, we've reviewed countless HP laptops. Below is a list of the best HP laptops in each category.

HP is entering 2020 having recently released the excellent Spectre x360 13 and Elite Dragonfly, two ultra-portable devices with stunning designs. HP will follow those up with the Elite Dragonfly G2, which adds Tile support so you never have to lose your laptop or worry about it being stolen. The company is also releasing a fleet of Chromebooks highlighted by the Elite c1030 Chromebook Enterprise. HP also recently dropped the Envy 15; you can expect a full review in the coming weeks.

What are the best HP laptops?

HP makes a lot of great laptops, but we really like the Envy x360 and Envy 13. They might not be the best laptop in the lineup, but they offer the best value. For $799, you get a premium aluminum design and fast performance in a portable package. The 13.3-inch, 1080p display is plenty bright and vivid and the keyboard is among the best out there. 

If you can spend a bit more, the Spectre x360 13 and Elite Dragonfly are better laptops. The Spectre x360 13 has an even fancier design and its flexible chassis converts into a tablet. Best of all, the battery life is epic. Similarly, the Elite Dragonfly, built for business users, is a sexy laptop with a razor-thin design and a gorgeous display. 

Business users who need more power than the Elite Dragonfly should opt for the ZBook Studio x360 G5, a workstation with epic specs. Gamers should consider the Omen 17, a powerful gaming rig with tons of performance at a good price.
