Will it be revolutionary or just another fancy device that promises a lot but delivers not?
Recently, HP has come up with its newest model of laptop with a distinctive form factor from the traditional one with its Dragonfly Folio G3. It accompanies the upcoming demands from people who are living a hybrid lifestyle. This new entrant in the family of HP’s Dragonfly series promises the user to get personalised experience to create meaningful solutions without stressing over finding the right place to work. Flexibility to work from anywhere is something that can well be termed as “Optimum” demand by the users. If HP’s claims turns out to be true with Dragonfly Folio G3, it might turn around to be one of most coveted devices in recent times.
More on the design of Dragonfly Folio G3
The laptop features a leatherlike cover finish with pull-forward design. It can be either used in the laptop mode, tablet mode or you can push the screen forward and rest it on the keyboard to create a tent-like structure. The last one might just appease to the ones who loves to do business calls while laying around (disabling the webcam ofcourse!).
It might take a little while for the Indian audience to get used to working with this design, as we are mostly used to working with the traditional 2-in-1 form factor. However, considering the demands of the user of having something convenient that can match well to balance their work and entertainment requirements, this might serve as a great alternative.
HP Dragonfly Folio Pen
As it is being promoted for enhancing the hybrid work culture, the device adds in HP Dragonfly Folio Pen. It makes brainstorming ideas better with its intelligent inking that looks similar to writing notes on a paper. The pen attaches well to the device magnetically and is equipped with three buttons. It also supports wireless charging that can charge the device to full in half an hour.
Laptop Tech Specifications
It is available with Windows 11 Pro. It has 12th Gen Intel Core processor and there is a 13.5″ diagonal 3:2 aspect ratio touch screen display for those who loves to work on a tablet and seek all the features of a laptop as well.
It packs a 2TB Solid State drive in the laptop as well as up to 32 GB of RAM. There is an 8MP webcam that can be disabled in just touching a button. The wide radius of the webcam enables the user to partner with team members to join in onscreen. It also features a backlit keyboard. You can very well match the specs of the laptop’s ports with M1 Macbook Air – a headphone jack with 2 thunderbolt 4 ports, a setup well suited mostly for professionals and end users. However, it might not be a primitive choice for the gamers.
Being able to use it a tablet device may just make the daily workloads of the users comparatively handy. There are days when there are continuous rounds of online meeting. For the same, the device features HP Auto Frame that keeps the person in frame no matter they are on foot, stretching or moving around. With its built-in AI, it will help solve many tasks such as noise reduction. There is also a feature of auto privacy alert that pings the users if someone is peeking at their screen from the back.
