HP Elite Dragonfly/X2 — 13 models in the used-laptop catalog , spanning 2015 to 2024 , priced from $243 to $1084 . This guide covers the configuration spread across the line and which setups are worth buying in 2026.
Where the Elite Dragonfly/X2 line stands in 2026
HP's premium-portable family covers 13 models in our catalog, from 2015 to 2024, priced $243 to $1,084 with a median of $470. Ten are convertibles and three are ultrabooks, spanning the Elite x2 tablet era, the EliteBook x360 convertibles and the Elite Dragonfly ultralights — all built around the same idea: business-class fineness under 1.7 kg, with integrated graphics throughout.
The configuration spread
The CPU counts read premium-mainstream: Core i7 (19 configurations) and Core i5 (17) carry the middle years, Core Ultra 5 (5) and Ultra 7 (4) the 2024 refresh, with Core i3 and Core m3 filling the historical entries. Graphics are integrated across the board — HD 515/620 on the tablets, UHD and Iris Xe through the 2020s, Arc iGPU on the newest pair. RAM ceilings run 32 to 64 GB (much of it soldered on the older rows), weights span 0.99 to 1.69 kg with the Dragonflys at the bottom, and screens cover 12.1 to 14 inches.
Price versus age
The ladder climbs with one notable kink: the 2015–2019 tablet era sits at $243–297, the 2020 pair at $451–505, and 2022 spreads $385–652. Then 2023 splits wide: the Elite x360 830 G10 asks $470 while the Elite x360 1040 G10 asks $921 — both 2023, both Core i5 1335U with Iris Xe, a $451 gap between a 13.3-inch and a 14-inch convertible. The 2024 pair lands at $1,084 flat. That 2023 split is the roster's single biggest shopping opportunity: same silicon, half the price, smaller screen.
Which one to buy
The value pick is the Elite x360 830 G10 (2023, $470, Core i5 1335U + Iris Xe) — current-generation silicon at mid-tier money, for $451 less than its same-year 14-inch sibling. The Elite x360 830 G9 (2022, $430, Core i7 1265U) is the budget alternative with a better CPU badge. The Elite Dragonfly G3 (2022, $652, Core i7 1265U) is the ultralight pick at ~1 kg, and the Elite Dragonfly G4 (2023, $846, Core i5 1335U) its newer sibling. At the top, the Elite x360 1040 G11 (2024, $1,084, Core Ultra 5 125H + Arc iGPU 7-Cores) is the modern flagship. The Elite c640 G3 Chromebook (2022, $385, Core i5 1245U) is the cheapest full-spec row — attractive hardware, but it runs ChromeOS, so it suits browser-first work only.
Bottom line
Across the roster the portability profile is elite: median portability 83.3, mobility 83, energy efficiency 86.8 — top-tier numbers for a convertible-first family. Compute is mid-pack (performance index 42.7, best CPU median 67.2, USComp Score 47), and the best GPU score median of 3.8 with zero games clearing recommended settings at the median configuration confirms the integrated-only design. Reliability of 60 is healthy. The summary: a finesse pool for weight-conscious business buyers, where the 830 G10 at $470 is the standout deal and the Dragonfly line is the ~1 kg option if that last half-kilo matters.
