Remarkably brilliant 1200-nit touchscreen. Chromebooks are a penny a lots nowadays, however higher-end designs are still reasonably unusual. The US$ 999 Dragonfly Pro Chromebook sticks out from the crowd with its 4x Thunderbolt ports and among the brightest display screens on any customer laptop computer.

7 years back, HP released the Chromebook 13 G1 selling for practically $1000 USD or two times as much as the majority of other Chromebooks. It assured a more sophisticated and expert user experience for business or organizations. For 2023, HP has actually presented yet another high-end Chromebook this time for WFH specialists called the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook.
The Dragonfly Pro Chromebook matches the Dragonfly Pro Windows variation which likewise releases this month. Both might appear similar in the beginning look, however they are various inside and out as our evaluation below will information.
Our evaluation setup ships with the 12th gen Intel Core i5-1235U CPU, 16 GB LPDDR5 RAM, 256 GB NVMe SSD, and 14-inch 2560 x 1600 touchscreen for $999 USD. The 2 SKUs offered at launch ship with the very same internal hardware and vary just in color. HP prepares to provide extra SKUs with 5G and eSIM later on this year.
Alternatives to the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook consist of other upper-range Chromebooks like the Asus Chromebook Flip CX5, Acer Chromebook Spin 713, or the Dell Latitude 7410 Chromebook.

While the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook and Dragonfly Pro Windows share comparable chassis products and style languages, their resemblances are mainly skin deep. Whatever else from the keyboard, screen, ports, processor, motherboard, battery capability, and even chassis density are all various in between the 2 designs. The Chromebook design still keeps the high-end feel and rigidness of its Windows option. It might be 2x more pricey than a common Chromebook like the HP Chromebook 14, however the distinction in quality is instantly visible.

The HP design is most comparable to the Apple MacBook Pro 14 or Asus Zenbook 14 in regards to weight and measurements. It’s denser than it searches for a high quality impression without sensation heavy.

HP is the very first therefore far just significant maker to release a Chromebook with 4 incorporated USB-C ports each supporting Thunderbolt gadgets. It’s feasible that a mix of USB-C, USB-A, and HDMI would have been more useful, however HP is counting on forward-thinking owners and USB-C adapters to do the heavy lifting.
When compared to the Dragonfly Pro Windows design, the Chromebook design includes more USB-C ports (4 vs. 3).
There is no integrated SD reader unlike on many other Chromebooks. HP states that was a mindful choice since of the kind element they were targeting.
HP keeps in mind that this is among the very first Chromebooks with an incorporated 8 MP web cam. HP laptop computers in basic have actually been delivering with greater quality web cams than the competitors and the pattern continues here. Video quality still appears to be restricted to 1080p.
There is regrettably no cam shutter function unlike on the Dragonfly Pro Windows.

The bottom panel comes off quickly with simply a T5 Torx wrench similar to on the Dragonfly Pro Windows. Elements stay extremely incorporated for no end-user upgradeability.
The retail box consists of no bonus besides the USB-C air conditioning adapter. The basic 1 year minimal service warranty uses if bought in the United States.
Keyboard design is various from that of the Dragonfly Pro Windows design as the Chromebook design drops the column of auxiliary type in favor of bigger speaker grilles along the sides of the deck. We discover this more suitable, nevertheless, as the auxiliary secrets on the Windows design are simple to strike by mishap. The typing experience is otherwise comparable.
Another distinction in between the keyboards is the backlighting. Whereas the Windows variation has white backlighting just, the Chromebook variation comes requirement with RGB lighting. The Dragonfly Pro Chromebook and Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming Chromebook are 2 of the really couple of designs to have such a function at the minute.
The haptic clickpad equals in size and feel to the one on the Dragonfly Pro Windows design. This suggests that feedback is substantially lighter, shallower, and quieter than the clickpads on many other laptop computers or Chromebooks. Some users might value the stiffer and more MacBook-like quality to the clickpad, however we discover drag and drop actions harder to carry out due to the weaker feedback.
The ultra-bright touchscreen is among the primary highlights of the design. HP declares it has unique rights to utilize this specific panel for this Chromebook design just, at least for the time being. Even the Dragonfly Pro Windows variation makes use of a various and much dimmer panel.
The panel targets a brightness of 1200 nits to be over 3 times brighter than any other customer Chromebook or laptop computer despite size or rate. If you like to utilize your Chromebook outdoors under intense conditions, then this HP was developed for you.
Brightness harmony might be much better at just 63 percent compared to ~ 80 percent on the majority of other IPS laptop computers. Our independent measurements reveal an optimum brightness of 1666 nits on the very center of the screen while the edges are dimmer at “just” about 1050 nits. This is not a significant problem in practice considering that the screen is currently really intense even after representing the modest brightness harmony.
A noteworthy downside to the touchscreen is its sluggish black-white and gray-gray action times. The screen is for that reason not perfect for streaming hectic 3D video games due to the fact that of the obvious ghosting.

actually been offered for a number of years now for combining Android mobile phones to Chromebooks. It’s comparable to Microsoft Phone Link on Windows PCs. The function stays barebones with much less choices than the Microsoft equivalent. You’re still restricted to seeing simply the 4 latest pictures on your mobile phone, for instance, and any messages on your phone need a different pairing procedure and app on the Chromebook to sync. Microsoft Phone Link sets all your messages, images, calls, and music controls in one big easy-to-navigate window. Samsung Galaxy phones even take this one action even more by permitting complete screen matching on Windows PCs. You understand Google is faltering when our Pixel 7 Pro sets much better on a Windows platform than by themselves internal os. 19659523 Phone Hub isn’t totally worthless.

Normal web surfing or video streaming would cause a fan sound of simply 24 dB( A) versus a quiet background of 23 dB( A) while much heavier loads like video games or tension tests would cause a sound of simply 27 dB( A). In basic, fan sound quieter than 30 dB( A) is hard to hear in normal workplace or house environments.

Obviously, runtime reduces if on the optimum brightness setting. In this situation, we’re just able to tape a runtime of simply 290 minutes which is less than half of our 150-nit setting above. This considerable decrease is definitely something to bear in mind if you intend on making use of the super-bright display screen on a regular basis. Charging from empty to complete capability is fortunately rather fast at under 90 minutes. The 96 W GaN USB-C battery charger can fast charge most mobile phones, tablets, and even other suitable laptop computers.

Test system offered by HP In evaluation: HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook. Test system supplied by HP 19660308 Do you actually require an elegant Chromebook with RGB keyboard, 4 Thunderbolt ports, and a screen that’s over 3x brighter than the majority of others? Most likely not, however it’s undoubtedly difficult to recall as soon as you have them. The RGB lighting includes a layer of customization not offered on many other Chromebooks while the Thunderbolt ports enable much better compatibility with USB-C docking stations and screens. In addition, the 1200-nit display screen ends up being indispensable in bright outside environments and it is indubitably a significant selling point of the design. If the above functions do not tickle your fancy, then the $999 USD price can be more difficult to validate. Show colors are precise to sRGB, however more economical options like the Acer Chromebook Spin 713 or Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 Chromebook have sRGB-accurate screens too with the included benefit of 360-degree hinges. The Dragonfly Pro Chromebook is likewise among the really couple of Chromebook clamshells to have no USB-A ports at all which may bug some users. The similarly-priced Dell Latitude 7410 Chromebook uses a much larger range of ports in contrast. The haptic trackpad can be a variety too; MacBook users might value it, however Windows users accustomed to clicky trackpads might not.
The little type aspect, super-bright sRGB screen, and quality building and construction make the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook a near-ideal fellow traveler for a lot of WFH users.
Aside from that, there’s extremely little to do not like about the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook. Audio quality is much better than anticipated and the specifications are currently greater than the majority of in the classification. We wish to see a 2-in-1 design in the future with greater refresh rate alternatives to much better make use of the brilliant touchscreen.
The Dragonfly Pro Chromebook is now delivering straight from HP or Google for simply under $1000 USD.
