HP's Dragonfly Folio G3 Is a Leather-Clad Laptop Convertible
HP’s latest PC is a laptop-tablet hybrid that takes aim at Microsoft’s Surface products.
The Dragonfly Folio G3 is a 13.5-inch Windows 11 laptop convertible designed for people in hybrid work environments. It differs from other laptop convertibles with 360-degree hinges in that the Dragonfly Folio allows you to pull the display forward so it can lay flat over the keyboard, creating a tablet experience. Owners can also bring the screen forward mid-way, propping it over the keyboard, which can make it easy to use the bundled stylus to draw on the touch screen.
It won’t be cheap. The Dragonfly Folio G3, available now, starts at $2,379. In return, buyers get a device loaded with some premium specs, including the option for a 1,920-by-1,280 OLED screen.

The product also adopts a leather-like top cover while the bottom has a magnesium metal case. Users can expect it to weigh in at 3.09 pounds.

If you configure it with an OLED panel, the battery life will drop to about 7 hours.
