The best charger for your HP Dragonfly Folio G3 — or at least the most convenient charger — is likely the one that comes with your laptop. HP did a nice job putting together a compact 65W AC adapter with braided six-foot USB-C cable and another meter of length for the power cord section. However, chargers can become damaged or lost, you might want a backup while you travel or for the office, and some setups might require something with extra charging ports to handle your laptop and your accessories. Then there's the option of picking up a power bank to have on hand for times when you're chasing a deadline while away from any AC outlets. We've put together this collection of the best chargers for the HP Dragonfly Folio G3 to help you get the right power setup for your laptop.

The right charger for your Dragonfly Folio G3
The HP Dragonfly Folio G3 is one of the best HP laptops out there right now for professionals who want something at the pinnacle of premium. In my HP Dragonfly Folio G3 review, I discovered that "the powerful conferencing tools make collaboration about as easy as possible, the keyboard is comfortable and the touchpad enormous for effortless productivity, and the battery life and performance are both better than I expected."
And while it's great on its own, adding an accessory or two can help it hit its true potential. The USB-C charger with the Folio G3 is good enough that I'd consider buying an exact replacement if the original gets damaged, which is why it's included in this collection as a top choice.
HP also makes a 65W travel charger that lops off the power cable, allowing you to plug straight into a wall at the adapter. This saves space in your carry-on or laptop sleeve, and the charger is small enough that you can tuck it away for an emergency. ZMI's zPower Turbo 65W charger is another great travel option that costs considerably less than the official HP travel charger; if you're not concerned about matching branding, it'll also get the job done easily.
If you'd like something a bit more permanent, a great docking station might be the right pick. In his HP Thunderbolt Dock G4 review, Editor-in-Chief Rich Woods noted that the dock has his "favorite selection of ports on a Thunderbolt 4 dock." Its dual DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0, and Thunderbolt 4 combo make it easy to connect multiple 4K displays, and there are a bunch of other USB ports besides. It can handle up to 100W of charging power to your laptop, which is more than enough for the Folio G3.
Finally, having a power bank handy when you're far from any available AC outlet can be the difference between hitting a deadline and coming in late. Anker's 747 PowerCore 26K has a 26,000mAh reserve to provide the laptop with close to another full charge, and it can hit up to 65W of USB-C charging power. It's one of the pricier options in this list, but it'll pay for itself with the added peace of mind while traveling.
