A new system, a laptop, a two-in-one, what are the names for these in 2020? It's hard to keep it
0:06
all together. It's called the Dragonfly and it's a premium offering from HP. It defies gravity
0:14
I have experimented with so many different form factors. When you're constantly getting
0:21
the latest and greatest stuff, you're always needing to re-evaluate what the right tool for
0:26
a job is. Now I did read that this device is one of the lightest two-in-one convertibles with a 13
0:33
inch display. I believe it's 2.2 pounds. Is that right? Yes. Starting weight is 2.18 pounds. Now
0:39
this has a kind of a nice blue color to it. Is there an official name for that color? Is that a
0:46
cobalt? This is light. Wow. Okay. Galaxy blue. Oh, it's a matte finish. So it's going to be
0:54
fingerprint resistant. Of course, the new HP logo here. Thunderbolt. There's a dedicated headphone
1:01
jack, full-size HDMI port, USB-A port, power switch. That's like a Kensington lock. And then
1:07
hang on, I got it. Oh, cool. That's a SIM card slot. And there is your keyboard. So it is a
1:15
chiclet-style keyboard. Let's check the travel. Actually, fairly substantial travel for something
1:23
that's that thin trackpad extends right to the bottom of the frame we have a fingerprint scanner
1:29
over here and core i7 eighth generation processor speakers where they should be on a laptop the
1:35
magic trick boom all the way around two for one a two for one deal and this is where the the weight
1:43
factor plays a big role is when you do the actual flip around some of these can feel a little heavy
1:50
if you're used to a traditional tablet. So shaving that down as much as you can
1:55
in this case, all the way down to 2.2 pounds, alleviates some of that motivation
2:01
to reach for a dedicated device like a tablet because you hardly notice the fact that it a full scale laptop hiding on the back A mode like this
2:11
and this is useful for watching multimedia. You might wanna have the bowl of cereal
2:16
in front of the display and you don't have the deck of the keyboard. People use this for presentations as well
2:21
I don't know if you knew that, Will. This is the other mode here
2:25
That's another sort of presentation mode you can do. trying to pack as much functionality from a form factor perspective into one singular device
2:34
This is light, Will. That's a slab. That's a brick. Feel this
2:39
Yeah, it's pretty light. That's 2.2 pounds, ladies and gentlemen. It's a touch display, 1920 by 1080 on all the different configurations
2:48
In the top configuration over here, I think this is the one that I have
2:52
Better storage, 512 gig plus 32 gig Intel Optane. A cleaning cloth
2:57
okay so here it is so this thing's going to charge up over usb type c as well and it's got a couple
3:04
of buttons on it in the past what i've done is just used it as an alternative to the trackpad
3:08
where you're kind of you can tap up as you're doing work some extra pen tips in there oh wow
3:17
okay there's some thought that went into this power brick you have the braided nylon style cable
3:24
which is thick. Kirk could wear a sweater made out of this. That's 65 watts. HP they're paying
3:30
attention, Will. I mean, you got a nod from Will do. It's not easy to get. And even a slow one
3:36
Very nice. Now, I have the sleeve over here, so I might as well give it a quick try. All right
3:45
Ooh. Established 1939 in California, USA. Ah, that's leather. It's got a spot for the pen. Lovely
3:55
So you never know where to put these things when you travel. That's wonderful
3:59
You're aiming squarely at my heart. Am I ready for business or what
4:03
Imagine me walking through the office like this. Imagine how much more I'd be getting done
4:10
I like the fact that the keyboard is spill resistant Let boot this up Power switch is over here on the side The nice little chrome detail there on the hinge
4:20
HP SureView. If you want some privacy and the people around you
4:23
not to look at what you're looking at or be able to look at what you're looking at because it's highly confidential work
4:28
that you're doing as it would be, you can turn that on. HP SureView F2
4:32
Very cool. Wow. It's a very friendly tune right there. All right, so we're going to set up the face recognition
4:47
And it's going to grab my face. All right, so I've got it booted up, set up now
4:53
And I just boosted the brightness. It turns out this is the 1000 nit display, but this is a custom config
5:01
So it's the top of the line spec with the sure view and the 1000 nits
5:06
If you want to use this thing in brightly lit environments and you need to overwhelm the ambient light with your display
5:13
you can either order this in a pre-configured setup or you can go in and custom order it and do something like that
5:19
Pick which display you want and so on. Okay, so Windows Hello, it finds your face, it unlocks
5:27
You can see the infrared up there. I'm not sure if it shows up on the camera. You hit enter, it sees you. Beautiful
5:32
So it is incredibly thin and light, obviously, as you can tell
5:36
and sometimes you could take a hit with the audio performance because you got to jam it into such a
5:42
thin chassis so i'll load up a youtube video real quick oh 2020 given various world events
5:49
the current title it's like a bathtub for your smartphone the truth is we haven't really had a
5:56
clear line up until this point as far as what you should could what the manufacturer wants you to
6:03
wipe your phone with. So obviously, yeah, you can wipe your phone. I'm surprised
6:07
There's actually some low end in there. Sometimes thin and light laptops have tinny sound
6:12
and you feel like you're lacking some low end. So I glad they paid some degree of attention to it Some pen configuration settings over here I just paired it up Single press Microsoft Whiteboard double press Screen Sketch
6:25
long press Cortana. And then you're just, I mean, you're tapping away
6:28
It's super convenient, obviously. I love scrolling with a pen on these two-in-ones
6:34
As I mentioned before, sometimes you just wanna reach up and actually ignore the trackpad
6:39
because it's so responsive to use a pen for that purpose. You can switch into tablet mode
6:43
Okay, sure. and now you're laying back on the couch you're watching some videos
6:49
you think it got that it did all right so what can i say i mean i think it's all about the weight
6:57
this is this is a really aggressive approach at getting a 13.3 inch two in one all the way down
7:06
to 2.2 pounds which like I said I believe that is the lightest convertible maybe even 13 inch laptop
7:15
I don't know if I've had a 2.2 pound 13 inch laptop in here on the show previously let alone one where
7:23
you can spin the display all the way around so this one is light enough that you you feel a bit
7:27
more natural in the tablet form factor and the thing doesn't feel flimsy you're still talking
7:33
about premium materials in use it feels sturdy for something that somehow only comes in at 2.2
7:40
pounds and you also got the sure view so i could keep kirk and will off my display because god knows
7:46
what they're peaking they're peaking peaking when they shouldn't be peaking just noticed something i
7:51
wanted to make sure got into the video there's also this camera privacy slide and it gives you
8:00
this nice zebra indicator to let you know if you have it turned on so it's a it's a pretty private
8:08
machine first you have the sure view display so prying eyes from the side don't see and then
8:16
you've also got the camera cover so eyes looking this way it's a lot of privacy going on
