Here's a closer look at what convinced us that this was the best business laptop of CES 2025.

The EliteBook Ultra G1i looks particularly compelling, and we also get our first glimpse at HP's new OmniDesk PCs.

HP is discontinuing the HP Dragonfly brand of thin and light business-class notebooks, but it’s just the name that the company is retiring, not the idea, because the new HP EliteBook Ultra G1a picks up where the Dragonfly line left off.

On Monday, HP kicked off CES 2025 with a trio of updated business laptops in its EliteBook line-up, all featuring Intel's new Lunar Lake chips.

HP rebranded its entire laptop portfolio, and the Dragonfly became the EliteBook Ultra. There was just one problem. Other than the color, the Snapdragon-powered EliteBook Ultra was nothing like a Dragonfly.
