Hewlett Packard (HP) is launching the first 'Folio' hybrid model for the Dragonfly lineup, which gives consumers the opportunity to turn their notebook device into a tablet. The system works during presentations, on the go, or from the comfort of your home with full PC capabilities. The 'Folio' hybrid utilizes a 12th-gen Intel core i5 or i7 CPU instead of a mobile chipset, making the possibilities for web-surfing endless.
When it comes to specifications, the new model boasts an enhanced cooling system, up to 32GB of RAM, 2TB of SSD storage, either a 1920 x 1280 LCD display or a 3000 x 2000 OLED panel, a Thunderbolt 4 and USB port, and an audio jack.
The HP Dragonfly 'Folio G3' is now available at a price point of $2,380 USD.
