Peb xyuas kom meej tias lub roj teeb tau them tag nrho ua ntej kev sim, nrog Wi-Fi thiab keyboard backlighting tua. 

Raws li ib txwm muaj, ib lossis ob qhov kev khiav yog txaus kom tau txais cov txiaj ntsig ntawm cov roj teeb uas ntseeg siab. Hauv Dragonfly Pro cov ntaub ntawv, peb tsis paub meej. Peb cov txiaj ntsig kev xeem tau ntau teev luv ntawm qhov HP kwv yees rau kev siv zoo sib xws, thiab txawm tias peb qhov kev sim tseem nyob deb ntawm qhov peb xav tau. Peb tseem yuav sim lub tshuab txuas ntxiv thiab hloov kho qhov kev tshuaj xyuas no yog tias peb tuaj yeem pom qhov yuam kev lossis teeb tsa uas txhim kho peb lub sijhawm ua haujlwm.

Peb kuj siv Datacolor SpyderX Cov Neeg Tseem Ceeb saib xyuas qhov ntsuas ntsuas ntsuas thiab software ntsuas lub khoos phis tawj lub vijtsam xim xim - pes tsawg feem pua ​​​​ntawm sRGB, Adobe RGB, thiab DCI-P3 xim gamuts lossis palettes cov zaub tuaj yeem pom - thiab nws 50% thiab qhov siab tshaj plaws nyob rau hauv nits (candelas ib square meter).

Ib zaug ntxiv, lub sijhawm ua haujlwm ntawm lub roj teeb uas tsuas yog qis dua yim teev tsis txaus ntshai tab sis yog qhov luv luv ntawm qhov peb xav tau los ntawm lub laptop slimline niaj hnub no, cia nyob ib leeg ze li 16 teev uas HP kwv yees thaum ua si hauv zos video (12 teev thaum streaming video).

Yam tsawg kawg ntawm Dragonfly Pro's 14-nti zaub muab qhov ci ntsa iab zoo heev thiab cov xim sawv cev, sib piv nws cov ntawv tshaj tawm 400 nits thiab xa khoom ze-chaw ua haujlwm-chav kawm xim raug. Thaum peb xav pom kev daws teeb meem siab dua, 1,920-by-1,200-pixel vaj huam sib luag muab kev nyeem tau zoo thiab ua tau zoo rau cov lag luam ua lag luam HP lub hom phiaj nrog lub laptop no.
