HP unveiled the latest iteration in its Dragonfly lineup, the 'Dragonfly Pro Chromebook.' This is a high-end, powerful Chromebook, which is uncharacteristic of the type of laptop. Whereas many Chromebooks are designed as low-cost, lightweight, simple machines, the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook is customizable, flashy, durable, and powerful, with RGB lights and a backlit keyboard.
The device itself is powered by a 12th generation Intel Core i5 processor accompanied by 16GB of RAM and a 256GB onboard SSD. The device also features a much larger battery than its competitors, as HP claims it will last for "an entire day" of working, though under high-load Android games via the Google Play store, the battery may not last as long. However, the fast charging on this device allows it to charge from 0 to roughly 50% in 30 minutes.
