Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers HP Dragonfly Pro 14" to be very good for general use, while the Razer Book 13 is good.
The HP Dragonfly Pro 14" boasts a newer AMD processor, which along with ample RAM, contributes to its robust performance for a variety of tasks, and its larger screen offers good quality visuals, which is ideal for general use; however, it's slightly heavier and thicker than the Razer Book 13, which might affect portability for some users.

The HP Dragonfly Pro 14" and Razer Book 13 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The HP Dragonfly Pro 14" and the Razer Book 13 are fairly suited for gaming and 3D due to their integrated GPUs and standard screen refresh rates, which can handle games and 3D applications but are less capable compared to dedicated gaming laptops with advanced GPUs and higher refresh rates. Both have comparable high-quality screens and competent CPUs, but for the most demanding gaming and 3D tasks, these laptops may fall short compared to specialized gaming machines.

"I’d say that the HP Dragonfly Pro checks off most of the boxes for this freelancer. It feels nice to use, is zippy and responsive, has great speakers, and even has a relatively sane price. Although it’s an unorthodox choice to pick AMD for this kind of machine, it’s clear that when Ryzen is given a chance to shine, it can kick a lot of butt."

"The Razer Book is like an XPS 13, but faster. The Book 13 combines the design philosophy and performance of a Blade Stealth with the 16:10 display of a Dell XPS 13 for an impressive piece of hardware. Office users who want something more stylish than the typical Dell, HP or Lenovo will certainly find themselves drawn to this Razer subnotebook. If your priorities are to have the best-looking and fastest 13-inch laptop in the office over auxiliary features, however, then the Book 13 proudly fulfills that niche."
