The Dragonfly Folio G3 has a more rounded silhouette and a more secure-feeling hinge mechanism, but in terms of overall design concept, it is clear where HP got the idea. The Dragonfly Folio G3’s pull-forward form factor owes a debt to Microsoft’s Surface line, specifically, the Surface Laptop Studio. However, when HP sent it last month it was listed for $300 less, and there are plenty of less expensive configurations. When I wrote this section my review unit was listed on HP.com for $2,749 that includes the highest end 12th gen Intel Core i7 U-series processor, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 512GB SSD, Wi-Fi 6E and MediaTek-based 5G. While the Dragonfly Folio G3 is extremely expensive at launch, HP doesn’t have much long term pricing power (more on this below), and I can easily recommend buying one, especially when it inevitably goes on sale.

The form factor and ergonomics are delightful for personal and professional productivity, and HP is charging accordingly. Push the display down further and it sits nearly flat, angled slightly towards the user for use as a thick, heavy tablet or as a perfectly positioned drawing slate. With a light push to disengage the magnets, the screen swings forward in front of the keyboard and can dock there for watching content. HP stuck a hinge about halfway down the back of the 3:2 display, and the bottom of the display is attached by magnets.
The cover isn’t actually leather, and also is nowhere near the most interesting aspect of the device. IntroductionĪt first glance, HP’s Dragonfly Folio G3 looks like a regular 13.5” laptop that someone partially wrapped in leather. HP’s Dragonfly Folio G3 represents everything that the Windows ecosystem does well – flexible form factors and display options, touch and pen input, WWAN connectivity – and poorly – x86 performance/battery life relative to Apple Silicon, pricing power, and channel/branding issues.
