Like the Asus, it also supports a digital stylus, but the press release says it’s optional. And it has that haptic trackpad! (Sorry, I really like them). But it’s in a much lighter, smaller, and cleaner-looking package. You can if you want to though.Īll in all, this is another beast, just like the updated Asus Chromebook CX5 / C5601. This convertible Chromebook also includes a full-sized HDMI jack, so you won’t have to use one of the USBs for an external monitor. The two USB Type-C ports have the aforementioned Thunderbolt support and there’s also a USB Type-A port as well. That’s more than enough for 1080 resolution by my calculations. And goodbye crappy webcam: this Chromebook has a 5 MP sensor with the HP Sure Shutter privacy option.

WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 are there for connectivity and HP says there will be integrated 5G options. You also get a fingerprint sensor for fast, secure logins. I wonder how many browser tabs it will take to use all of that? Storage options are NVMe M.2 only ranging from 128 GB to 512 GB. HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook specificationsįor example, the HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook can have up to 32 GB of LPDDR4 memory. That means high-powered Intel Core processors optimized for laptops, improved webcam sensor support, Thunderbolt ports, and more. This is the old Project Athena effort, now dubbed Evo and in its third generation. Under the hood are your choice of Intel Evo platform chips and graphics. That gets you an HP SureView Reflect integrated privacy screen too. Or you can go crazy with a 1000 nit panel at 1920 x 1280 as an option. It’s not ideal for gaming or watching videos due to the aspect ratio, but excellent for productivity.Īnd unlike the average 250 nits of brightness on the HP Chromebook x360 14c I’ve been using, the Dragonfly has 400 nits of brightness in either resolution. The latter is the same as my aging but beloved Acer Chromebook Spin 13 as well as its successors. There are two resolution choices: 1920 x 12 x 1504. The HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook has a 13.5-inch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio. I admit it took a few days to get used to this but it’s definitely my preferred trackpad mechanism. Instead of the trackpad physically moving down for a press, you “feel” the press with internal haptics. My experience with haptic trackpads is overwhelmingly positive, although I’ve only used them on Macs, of course. That last bit is huge after years of many usable but not great Chromebook trackpads. The HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook is rounded on the edges, light at 2.85 pounds, and… wait for it: Has a haptic Gorilla Glass trackpad! But HP may have the better design chops right now.

In this case, both companies made splashes with 12th-gen Intel chips on both Windows PCs and Chromebooks. Typically, Windows PCs get the latest Intel processors and Chromebooks are an afterthought nearly a year later. I have to give both Asus and HP credit here. Both have the hottest hardware configurations to date but based on the form factor and design, HP may be the current Chromebook king for 2022. The new HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook looks to rival that updated Asus Chromebook Flip CX5 / CX5601, and then some. I’m still getting caught up with Consumer Electronics Press releases and finally got to the last one.
