HP Dragonfly Folio G3 2-in-1 with OLED Touchscreen and Stylus

The HP Dragonfly Folio G3 is a 1.4-kilogram light convertible whose heart is a 13.5-inch touchscreen in 3:2 format. The top HP touch screen laptop model relies on an OLED panel with a resolution of 3000×2000 pixels, but HP also offers cheaper variants with an IPS panel that either has the same or only 1920×1280 pixels resolutions.

The OLED display promises a significantly higher contrast ratio and practically perfect black values, but according to HP, the convertible only lasts around 7 hours with this display, while the 53.2 Wh battery in conjunction with the IPS panel has a runtime of 13.5 hours should allow. The screen can be angled so that the bottom edge rests between the trackpad and keyboard, similar to the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio (approx. $1,328 on Amazon), or positioned over the keyboard in tablet mode.

The HP touch laptop can also be operated with the Dragonfly Folio Pen, a pressure-sensitive stylus with three programmable buttons that magnetically attach to the side of the convertible. The HP touchscreen laptop comes with an Intel Alder Lake processor, up to 32 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and a maximum 2 TB PCIe SSD.

Two Thunderbolt 4 ports (USB-C) and a headphone jack are also standard, as are Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, and an LTE or 5G modem is available for a surcharge. Quad speakers and an 8 MP webcam with an infrared camera for Windows login via face recognition complete the equipment.

Price and availability

The HP Dragonfly Folio G3 is available to pre-order on the Bhphotovideo.com store, and pricing starts from $2,378.95.
