Although it may appear to be simply a spindly bug, entomologists believe the dragonfly is the world’s most successful predator: Its near-360-degree eyesight, unrivaled agility (up to 9Gs of acceleration), and ability to foresee where its prey is going allow it to kill at a 95% rate that tigers and sharks would envy. Ask HP, which uses the Dragonfly brand on its lightest and most expensive business laptops and workstations. Unlike previous models, the Elite Dragonfly G3 is a clamshell ultraportable.

It’s not cheap (starts at $1,999; $2,686 as tested), but its long battery life, plentiful ports, and squarish 13.5-inch, 3:2 aspect ratio display make it a viable alternative to the Dell XPS 13 Plus and the Apple MacBook Air M2.

Hp elite dragonfly Renewed and Recycled Design

The Elite Dragonfly G3 comes in Slate Blue or Natural Silver and has a slim chassis made largely of recyclable magnesium and aluminum with what HP terms “rounded pillow edges.” (They make opening with one hand simpler.) Its bigger screen makes it somewhat deeper at 0.64 by 11.7 by 8.7 inches, but at 2.2 pounds, it’s half a pound lighter than the Apple and Dell ultraportables, and it matches the soon-to-be-reviewed Gen 2 Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano. The laptop has passed MIL-STD 810H testing for shock, vibration, and severe temperatures; there is considerable flex if you hold the screen edges but no

ne if you squeeze the keyboard deck.

The base model starts at $1,999 and includes an Intel Core i5-1235U CPU, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB NVMe solid-state drive, and a 1,920-by-1,280-pixel IPS touch screen. Our $2,686 review version has the same resolution non-touch display but a Core i7-1265U (two Performance cores, eight Efficient cores, 12 threads) processor and adds 5G mobile internet to the baseline Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth.

HP also provides two alternative display options: a 1,920-by-1,280-pixel Sure View Reflect panel with privacy filter and a 3,000-by-2,000-pixel OLED screen for those who like the richest colors and maximum contrast. Intel’s Iris Xe integrated graphics are used in all versions. Windows 11 Pro comes standard.

While the XPS 13 and MacBook Air only have Thunderbolt 4 ports (the Dell lacks a headphone jack), the Elite Dragonfly G3 offers a far more useful array. Each side contains one USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 connector, however the left edge also includes an HDMI video output (as well as the SIM card slot), while the right side has an audio jack, a USB 3.1 Type-A port, and a security cable lockdown notch.

It would have been lovely to see the OLED panel, but the ordinary display is nearly as outstanding, with enough of brightness and contrast. Colors are vibrant and nicely saturated, and viewing angles are wide. Fine details are visible. The screen’s squarish 3:2 aspect ratio allows you to see more of a document or webpage with less scrolling; it’s an easy view that makes old-school 16:9 widescreens appear cramped.

A 5-megapixel webcam outperforms low-cost 720p cameras, capable of shooting ultra-sharp 2,560-by-1,440-pixel 16:9 or 2,560-by-1,920-pixel 4:3 stills and movies. Images are vibrant and relatively well-lit, with an HP Presence program allowing automated framing and lighting correction, as well as the option of blurring the backdrop. Toggling the camera for privacy is done using a keyboard button rather than a sliding shutter. Two cutting-edge microphones with automated noise reduction and speech leveling make you heard even when you walk within three meters of the PC.

We put two DirectX 12 gaming simulations from UL’s 3DMark to the test: Night Raid (more modest, ideal for laptops with integrated graphics) and Time Spy (more demanding, suitable for gaming rigs with discrete GPUs).

We also perform two tests from the cross-platform GPU benchmark GFXBench 5, which puts a premium on low-level operations like texturing as well as high-level, game-like visual rendering. The 1440p Aztec Ruins and 1080p Car Chase experiments, generated offscreen to suit differing display resolutions, put graphics and compute shaders to the test, respectively, utilizing the OpenGL programming interface and hardware tessellation. The higher the frame rate (fps), the better.
