HP Elite Dragonfly G3 with an Intel Core i7 12th Gen processor, 16GB RAM, a 512GB SSD and a 13.5-inch touchscreen is available at Mascom International for KSh 81,000. This unit is factory refurbished by HP and comes boxed as HP-certified refurbished stock, which means the maker itself inspected, tested and restored it before resale. The HP Elite Dragonfly G3 starts at 0.99 kg, uses a 3:2 panel at 1920 x 1280, and runs on a 68Wh battery. You can see it at our store on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.

Built for executives, lawyers, accountants and consultants across Kenya, the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 handles email, contracts, spreadsheets and video meetings without weighing down your bag. Many professionals carry a two-kilogram office laptop between Upper Hill, Westlands and client sites, and their shoulders feel every matatu ride. A 13.5-inch machine that weighs about as much as a hardback file fixes that problem. The taller 3:2 screen also shows more rows of a ledger or more lines of a contract, so you scroll less and read more. The touch layer lets you tap through slides and sign PDFs with a finger.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell ex-office laptops with unknown histories, Mascom International stocks the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 as HP-refurbished stock in its HP box with a 12-month warranty. Customers across Nairobi tell us they want a business laptop that feels new in the hand without paying new-laptop prices, and this model fits that brief closely. Visit our Kimathi Street showroom to test the keyboard and screen yourself, or order on WhatsApp and pay when the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 reaches your door anywhere in Kenya.

Common Questions About the HP Elite Dragonfly G3

How much is the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 16GB in Kenya?
The HP Elite Dragonfly G3 with Core i7 12th Gen, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD costs KSh 81,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi, as HP-refurbished stock. That price covers the laptop in its HP box, the HP USB-C power adapter and cord, and a 12-month warranty. Delivery is pay-on-arrival across all 47 counties. If you want double the memory, the 32GB version of the same model sells for KSh 84,000, only KSh 3,000 more.

Is the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 at Mascom International refurbished, and who refurbished it?
Yes, this HP Elite Dragonfly G3 is factory refurbished by HP itself, not by a back-street workshop. HP inspected, tested and restored each unit, then packed it in an HP box as certified refurbished stock. That is different from a used laptop, which is sold as it came out of an office with no maker involvement. You still get a 12-month Mascom International warranty, and you can examine the unit at our Nairobi CBD store before paying.

Should I pick the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 16GB or the 32GB version for KSh 3,000 more?
Pick the 32GB HP Elite Dragonfly G3 if you run virtual machines, large Power BI files or many heavy apps together; otherwise 16GB serves most office work well. The memory is soldered to the board, so you cannot add more later. Both versions share the same Core i7 12th Gen chip, 512GB SSD and 13.5-inch touchscreen. If you expect your workload to grow over four or five years, the KSh 3,000 gap is small insurance.

How does the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 cope with KPLC power cuts and long days away from a socket?
The HP Elite Dragonfly G3 carries a 68Wh battery, which is large for a laptop under one kilogram, so KPLC outages rarely stop your work. It charges through USB-C, so a USB-C Power Delivery power bank or a car charger with enough output can top it up during long blackouts. Keep screen brightness moderate and close unused browser tabs to stretch each charge further. Customers in Kisumu and Nakuru tell us it outlasts their old office laptops.

Who should buy the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 16GB, and who should skip it?
The HP Elite Dragonfly G3 16GB suits professionals who travel, present and write all day and value low weight over raw graphics speed. Lawyers, auditors, NGO field staff and sales managers get the most from it. Skip it if you edit 4K video, play modern games or need a large screen for AutoCAD drawings. Those buyers are better served by a laptop with dedicated graphics and a 15-inch or 16-inch display. Students who only browse and type assignments may also find a cheaper laptop does the job just as well.

Is 16GB of RAM enough on the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 for Excel, Teams and dozens of browser tabs?
Yes, 16GB RAM on the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 comfortably runs Excel, Word, Outlook, Teams and twenty or more Chrome tabs together. The memory is fast LPDDR5 at 6400 MHz, which keeps switching between apps quick. Where 16GB starts to feel tight is with virtual machines, million-row datasets or several design tools open together. Because the RAM is soldered, decide now rather than planning an upgrade. For accountants filing on KRA iTax while juggling client spreadsheets, 16GB is plenty.

Is the 3:2 touchscreen on the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 better than a normal laptop screen?
For reading and writing, the 3:2 touchscreen on the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 is more useful than the usual wide 16:9 laptop panel. Its 1920 x 1280 resolution adds vertical space, so you see more of a document, email thread or spreadsheet at once. Touch lets you scroll, zoom and tap through slides directly. Movies show black bars at the top and bottom, which is the one trade-off for media watchers. University lecturers at Strathmore and USIU who mark scripts on screen find the extra height especially handy.

Is the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 worth buying in Kenya in 2026?
Yes, at KSh 81,000 the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 is good value in Kenya for anyone who wants a light, well-built business laptop with a warranty. A 12th Gen Core i7 still handles office and web work with ease, and the HP factory refurbishment removes most of the guesswork of buying second-hand. Paying by M-Pesa on delivery also means you see the laptop before any money leaves your account. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the light build and long battery matter more day to day than the newest chip.

Technical Specifications

Processor
  • Intel Core i7 12th Gen U-series chip — built for thin laptops, balancing speed with cool, quiet running.
  • 10 cores and 12 threads — the processor splits work across many lanes, so several apps stay responsive together.
  • Turbo speeds above 4.5 GHz — short bursts of extra speed open files and load pages without waiting.
  • Hybrid core design — performance cores take heavy tasks while efficiency cores handle background jobs to save battery.
  • Low-power design — the fan stays mostly quiet in meetings, even in a warm Nairobi office afternoon.

Memory
  • 16GB LPDDR5 RAM — RAM is short-term working space, enough for office suites, Teams and many browser tabs.
  • 6400 MHz memory speed — faster memory feeds the processor and graphics quickly, keeping app switching smooth.
  • Soldered onboard memory — it cannot be upgraded later, so choose the capacity you need on day one.
  • Dual-channel layout — memory works in pairs, which helps the built-in graphics draw screens faster.
  • Ample space for multitasking — run Excel, Outlook, a video call and twenty tabs together without slowdowns.

Storage
  • 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD — a solid-state drive with no moving parts, so it handles bumps on the road better.
  • Fast boot and wake — NVMe storage starts Windows and opens large files in seconds, not minutes.
  • Room for about 170,000 photos — at roughly 3MB per 12MP photo, before apps and system files.
  • Around 65 hours of 1080p video — at about 130MB per minute, plenty for recorded meetings and trainings.
  • M.2 slot — the drive uses a standard M.2 slot, so a technician can replace it if needed.

Display
  • 13.5-inch 3:2 touchscreen — taller than standard laptop screens, showing more of documents and web pages.
  • 1920 x 1280 WUXGA+ resolution — sharp text and clear spreadsheets at this screen size.
  • Touch input — tap, scroll and pinch to zoom on slides, maps and PDFs.
  • IPS panel — colours and contrast stay steady when colleagues view the screen from the side.
  • 400 nits or brighter — HP rates its touch panels for this model at 400 nits or more, readable near bright windows.

Graphics
  • Intel Iris Xe Graphics — graphics built into the processor, handling office work, video and light photo edits.
  • Multiple external screens — Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI outputs drive extra monitors at your desk.
  • Smooth video playback — streams YouTube, Netflix and training videos without stutter or heavy battery drain.
  • Light creative work — Canva, basic Photoshop edits and simple video trims run fine.
  • Not for modern gaming — no dedicated graphics card, so heavy 3D games and 4K editing are out of scope.

Battery
  • 68Wh HP Long Life 6-cell battery — large capacity for a laptop that starts at 0.99 kg.
  • USB-C charging — charge from the HP adapter or any USB-C Power Delivery charger with enough output.
  • Power bank friendly — a capable USB-C power bank keeps work going through KPLC outages.
  • Lithium-ion polymer cells — thin cells that fit the slim body and hold charge well when idle.
  • Two charging ports — either Thunderbolt 4 port accepts power, so you plug in from whichever side suits your desk.

Build and Ports
  • Starts at 0.99 kg — about the weight of a thick hardback file, easy to carry all day.
  • 29.74 x 22.04 x 1.64 cm — slim enough to slide into a small sleeve or handbag.
  • Two Thunderbolt 4 ports — 40Gbps USB-C ports for charging, displays, docks and fast drives.
  • USB Type-A, HDMI 2.0 and headphone jack — connect flash drives, projectors and wired headsets without adapters.
  • 5MP camera with infrared sensor — clear video calls, Windows Hello face sign-in and a physical camera privacy key.
