At CES 2023, HP announced new Windows 11 PCs focusing on sustainable hybrid experiences, including the new HP Dragonfly Pro, inspired by freelancers and their increasing presence in the U.S. workforce. This PC, co-engineered with AMD, is the first HP device to provide one-touch access to HP 24/7 live concierge support directly via one of the device's four hot keys. The Control Center hot key delivers quick access to the device's most common settings, while you can easily adjust camera settings with the Camera hot key. You can customize the fourth key to help optimize workflow or simple navigation.

Since HP shipped its first product using recycled materials in 2019, the company has used more than half a billion pounds of recycled materials [2]. With Windows 11’s latest update, you’ll be able to tap into features such as Focus sessions, snap layouts that make it easier to get things done and the new Microsoft Defender SmartScreen to keep you safer on the web. [caption id="attachment_178020" align="alignnone" width="1024"]HP-Dragonfly-G4_Hero-Image_j2-1024x576.jpg HP Dragonfly G4[/caption] The HP Dragonfly G4 has new intuitive video conferencing innovations aimed at recharging hybrid work, such as a multi-camera experience that supports dual video streams so faces and whiteboards can be shown at the same time, as in picture-in-picture or side-by-side [3]. The PC also uses intelligent face tracking to recognize which camera a speaker is facing, to keep audiences engaged without breaking contact [3]. To preserve battery life, it learns how you’re using the PC and will go into hibernation mode automatically at the end of the workday and can eventually predict when you’ll be starting the day to convert to an instant-on experience to help you get going faster.

This PC is HP’s first to feature optical mechanical keys, which are 25 times faster than traditional keys.
