The bottom of the device is magnesium, which is cool to the touch. With the Dragonfly Folio G3, HP unfortunately no longer provides an integrated pen charging cradle-it has another, less ideal solution for that-but it continues its use of vegan leather, though this time it only covers the display lid and hinge.
The evolution here is interesting: the Spectre Folio provided a unique wraparound leather chassis with an integrated metal frame while the Elite Folio transitioned to a more sustainable polyurethane-based vegan leather and provided an integrated charging cradle in the keyboard base for its HP Slim Pen.
#HP DRAGONFLY FOLIO G3 PC#
The G3 in the Dragonfly Folio’s name indicates that HP is positioning this PC as the successor to the Spectre Folio and Elite Folio products that predate it. (Microsoft fans might recognize this type of design from the Surface Laptop Studio, but HP got there long before that.) That is, it should equally satisfy those who will most use the Dragonfly Folio like a laptop and those who need a device for smartpen-based notetaking or art.
Not surprisingly, the result is quite successful, and I feel like the Dragonfly Folio might be the best convertible PC entry yet no matter your needs. What this means in practical terms is that HP has combined the best aspects of two of its premium brands-Dragonfly started as a beautiful and lightweight successor to the EliteBook 1030, while the Folio products add natural feeling leather-like materials to their hybrid pull-forward designs-in a single product. It’s a bit obvious to pull out the classic Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups slogan-“two great tastes that taste great together”-but, well, there you go. The Dragonfly Folio G3 is an interesting amalgamation of two revered HP product lines, the Dragonfly series that started with a single model in 2019 and has since expanded to include multiple Windows and Chrome OS models, and the Folio series, which includes the HP Spectre Folio from 2018 and the HP Elite Folio from 2021.
