The HP Dragonfly series is known for its portability and efficiency. In this line, the company has released the touch-enabled Dragonfly G4, which starts at 2,20,000. This price is sure to make people look multiple times since buyers can get an Apple MacBook Pro for the same price. But we can see that HP’s Dragonfly has some special advantages.
Design
The HP Dragonfly G4 looks great because it is slim and light. This laptop is easy to carry around because it weighs just over 1 kg and is 297.4 x 220.4 x 16.4 mm in size. The Dragonfly G4 looks professional and up-to-date because it is thin and comes in two colors: natural silver or slate blue. One thing that makes it stand out is how flexible it is when it comes to placement and watching angles.
The flexible 180-degree hinge lets users fold the screen flat or tilt it at an angle, giving them options for different ways to work.
The laptop has a simple, clean design, and it comes with a wide range of ports to meet different connection needs. It has two Thunderbolt 4 ports that work with USB4 Type-C and allow for fast data sharing.
There is an HDMI 2.1 port and a SuperSpeed USB Type-A port with a 5Gbps signaling rate. There is a Nano SIM card spot for people who need to connect to the cell network. There is also a 3.5mm headphone jack, which means that it will work with a wide range of audio devices.
Display
The laptop has a 13.5-inch diagonal screen that can be touched and has a 3:2 aspect ratio, which makes watching more immersive. It has a WUXGA+ screen with a brightness of 400 nits. There is also a choice for WUXGA+ Sure View Reflect, which has a high brightness of 1000 nits and an anti-glare surface to make the screen easier to see, especially in bright places.

For people who want a great picture, the Dragonfly has a 3K2K OLED or LCD screen with 400 nits of light, which shows bright and clear images. Users can choose the best one for their needs, making sure they have the best watching experience for work, fun, and multimedia activities.
Keyboard and Touchpad
The HP Dragonfly G4 has a full-size backlit spill-resistant keyboard with DuraKey technology, an integrated power button, and a customizable key. The keys work perfectly, so typing is easy and quiet. The keys felt nice and clicky, so I could type quickly and accurately. Bright brightness makes typing easy even in dark places, which makes the keyboard easier to use.
The trackpad is accurate and in a good spot. It also lets you use motions with more than one finger, which makes it easier to use. The touchpad is easy to use and responds quickly. You can also click it.
Camera
The camera on the gadget is very high-tech, which makes video conferencing and making content easier. It works with more than one camera, so people can easily focus on a product or paper while keeping the other camera on their faces. The 5MP camera with an 88-degree field of view (FOV) takes pictures with a bigger view, and Natural Tone makes the lighting look more professional.
The background blur can be changed, and the “Be Right Back” function makes it easy to customize. Also, the Auto Camera Select feature lets you switch between cameras based on how the user is facing. The Keystone Correction feature makes the camera frame clearer by adjusting it for papers or whiteboards.
Sound
Rich, realistic sound is built into the Dragonfly, which makes the whole sound experience better. The high-end audio system by Bang & Olufsen sounds great because it has four speakers and separate amps. Whether you’re on a conference call or watching a movie, the Dragonfly makes sure that the sound is clear and full. Also, the Dragonfly has two microphones on the top edge that pick up voices evenly. This lets calls and recordings go through clearly, without any distortions or background noise.
Performance
The Dragonfly is powered by Intel’s 13th-generation processors, which give it the power to handle tough jobs. It comes with Windows 11 Pro as the operating system, which is designed for business use and makes computing easy and safe. Whether you’re working on complex projects, doing more than one thing at once, or running apps that use a lot of resources, the high-performance processor makes sure that everything works well.
The Dragonfly also has Intel-integrated graphics, which provide reliable and fast graphics processing for a wide range of tasks and apps.
The memory and storage on the device are very good. It can work with up to 32GB of LPDDR5 system memory, which makes it easy to switch between tasks, easy to handle data-intensive tasks, and quick and smooth to use. The Dragonfly also has a lot of storage choices. It has up to 2TB of standard M.2 PCIe/NVMe Gen 4×4 encrypted SSD storage, which makes it easy to access data and move it quickly.
Battery
The battery on the laptop is very strong and can last for 8 to 9 hours on a single charge. It also has HP Fast Charge, which lets you charge the battery to 50% in just 30 minutes. The HP Power Manager with Smart Sense also helps make the best use of power and get the most out of the battery. The Dragonfly also has Intelligent Hibernate and OLED Power Saving Mode to control how much power is used when the screen is off or in certain display modes.
