Like Dell and Lenovo, HP tries to cover every laptop market segment, from low-cost Windows laptops, to Chromebooks, to mainstream systems, to premium 2-in-1s. The company offers a rich variety of business laptops, from the small-to-medium-size-business-oriented ProBooks, to enterprise-centric EliteBooks, to high-end ZBook graphics workstations. HP’s line of Spectre 2-in-1s stands out for its attractive design and long battery life. The company has dipped its toe into the gaming market, though its handful of entertainment offerings aren’t as powerful or as functional as those from the competition.
