The Dragonfly Pro has a crisp 5-megapixel camera that is also configurable in the myHP app. I really appreciate this level of control, as well as the presets that HP offers for users who don't know how to use an equalizer but still want the best sound for different settings. The myHP app includes a built-in equalizer for both the built-in input and output audio as well as connected devices. Audio acoustics can be difficult to get right, especially in devices with smaller form factors, but I believe HP has done a great job optimizing the sound quality of the Dragonfly Pro. I have sometimes heard a little bit of vibration from the chassis when listening to a video at higher volumes, but this has been very minor, and I attribute it to my device being a pre-production model. The quad speakers on the device, tuned by Bang and Olufsen, sound great and can really fill a room. I much prefer the haptic touchpad over the classic “diving board” touchpad design.
Likewise, the haptic touchpad is large and very responsive, with the intensity of the tactile feedback adjustable in the settings. Although subtle and intentional, these elements give the HP Dragonfly Pro a particular character and enable it to serve as a single device for all the needs of work, creation and play.
During my time using the new Dragonfly Pro, I have noticed some design cues and features that have carried over from its roots as a business notebook. If you are curious, you can visit the Moor Insights & Strategy blog to read my reviews of the Dragonfly Folio G3, Dragonfly G3, Dragonfly G2, and the original Dragonfly. Having used every Dragonfly device since HP started making them, I can assert that each generation has been better than the last. While this review is about more than just the raw performance of the Dragonfly Pro, I do believe that the device utilizes its PPW for its target audience better than an Apple notebook, especially when it is used with Windows 11 version 22H2, a touch display and myHP for HP support. However, this close partnership between HP and AMD has enabled better optimization for the Dragonfly Pro so that it can now rival Apple's PPW.
