A review of the HP DragonFly G4 premium ultrathin laptop. (Intel i7-1355U, 16GB LPDDR5-6400MHz, 1TB PCIe Gen4x4, Intel IRIS Xe, 13.5" 3K OLED)

The HP DragonFly G4 is aimed at business travellers or hybrid workers who want a lightweight, premium laptop with a decent battery life. With the G4, HP have dropped the ‘Elite’ from the name and upgraded the processors to Intel 13th Gen’s. Along with support for dual webcams and minor software tweaks. Does it offer enough to justify its corporate price tag?
