The HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook might be the next \u201cflagship\u201d for the platform, and at CES 2023, we had the pleasure of checking it out in person.<\/p>\n
Coming soon, the HP Dragonfly Chromebook is a bit of an oddity in the ChromeOS world. It’s a flagship-tier Chromebook with high-end specs, a 14-inch display, and an aim at professionals. Yet, at the same time, it also ships with an RGB keyboard which feels oddly out of place \u2013 more on that shortly.<\/p>\n
In person, the Dragonfly Pro is a stunning machine to look at. The white finish on the demo unit HP had at Pepcom was thin, lighter than expected, and felt well-built too. Its design was also good-looking yet quite practical across the board. <\/p>\n
The Dragonfly Pro also picked up the best feature from 2022’s Elite Dragonfly Chromebook, the haptic trackpad. Like the trackpad on Macbooks, the one on Dragonfly Pro is also a solid-state surface that simply mimics the feel of pressing with haptics. The benefit this provides is that you can click anywhere on the trackpad and get the same click, instead of needing to keep your focus on the bottom half. I already loved this on the Elite Dragonfly, but on the Pro it’s even better thanks to a better, smoother glass surface.<\/p>\n
