SINGAPORE, January 5, 2022 – HP Inc. today unveiled new devices and solutions designed to enhance collaboration and creation experiences so people can work and play wherever they are.
Hybrid work requires more than simply collaborating and working together. It challenges people to be creative and do things differently than they have in the past. Workplaces are now wherever people want them to be, but the expectations of their work doesn’t change. People want to be seen and heard clearly and be productive no matter where they are.
“The world has been irreversibly changed. We have more freedom to choose where we work, when we work, and how we work. But the way we work is as unique as our own DNA,” said Alex Cho, president, Personal Systems, HP Inc. “HP is innovating to make hybrid work for everyone. Our innovations for the hybrid world provide the power to blend our most productive environments for work and creativity with our most inspired ideas so we can be our best wherever we are.”
Collaborating with meaningful experiences for hybrid work
Building on the recent introduction of HP Presence,[i] HP has made its advanced collaboration technology available across more of its portfolio, including the ZBook Firefly G9, EliteBook 800 G9 Series PCs, EliteBook 1000 G9 Series PC, and newest Elite Dragonfly PCs. From 5MP cameras with HP Auto Frame to AI-based noise reduction filters and dynamic voice leveling technology, HP Presence delivers a better way to be seen, be heard, and share ideas for people outside of the meeting room. HP is also introducing new HP Presence features including the Appearance Filter to enhance your onscreen image, and the myHP application allows users to control and customize their PC experience in a single dashboard.
HP also expanded its portfolio of Elite Dragonfly devices with the option of Windows or Chrome, delivering on the customer demand for choice. Powered by 12th Gen Intel processors, the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 features a 13.5” clamshell design while the first HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook features a 360-degree design. Both devices drive progress towards increasing sustainability with recycled magnesium, aluminum, and ocean bound plastics.[ii]

Starting at under 1kg[iii] and available in Slate Blue or Natural Silver, the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 features a taller 3:2 aspect screen ratio and long battery life to keep you productive. Enhanced by HP Presence, the Elite Dragonfly delivers an exceptional collaboration experience for hybrid work. Audio by Bang & Olufsen and four discrete amps work together to create immersive sound. HP Dynamic Voice Leveling automatically optimizes voice clarity and AI-based noise reduction 2.0 enhances audio so people can be heard even when wearing a mask. Equipped with intelligent charging, your battery learns your work patterns and optimizes power consumption. Additionally, the myHP application provides a single dashboard to customize settings – like the appearance filter to personalize how you show up – for conferencing, the programmable key, and more. HP Wolf Security for Business[iv] provides a resilient defense against malware and hacking.
Purpose-built for business and cloud users, the HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook delivers a powerful, cloud-first PC experience. The device empowers mobile professionals with the simplicity of Chrome OS to collaborate, share and capture ideas.

Feel a new dimension of control and responsiveness on the world’s first haptic trackpad on a Chromebook[v] designed for deep integration with the Chrome OS. Take notes and share ideas on the fly with an optional magnetic pen[vi] that attaches and charges wirelessly on the side of the device. The HP Sure View Reflect integrated privacy screen protects sensitive information from prying eyes and HP Sure Shutter blocks your webcam with a single click.
