Yes, this is the first mainstream (as opposed to gaming) Chromebook with an RGB keyboard. See what else sets apart this model for on-the-go pros.
As part of its product push during CES 2023, HP has revealed a ChromeOS counterpart to its premium Dragonfly Pro laptop. The Dragonfly Pro Chromebook is a professional-grade portable for business execs and digital content creators who are deep into Google’s online ecosystem. It’s also the first mainstream Chromebook with a gaming-laptop-style RGB-backlit keyboard.Detailing the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook
HP hasn’t yet shared the price of the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook, but it’s clearly a high-end model that HP says is aimed at freelance or contract professionals. The chassis, crafted from recycled magnesium and aluminum and available in white or black, holds a 12th Generation Intel Core i5-1235U processor (two Performance cores, eight Efficient cores, 12 threads) with integrated graphics. Backing up the 15-watt CPU are 16GB of memory and a 256GB NVMe solid-state drive.
Describing the Chromebook’s ports doesn’t take long, because all you’ll find are four USB4 Type-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 support, with two on either side of the laptop. These will do all heavy lifting in terms of accessory support and charging, though you may need a few adapters to get by (notably a USB-C DisplayPort dongle for an external monitor).
