Reviews for the HP ZBook 15 G3
Extremely expensive, extremely good? HP’s mobile workstations are traditionally some of the most expensive devices on the market. This did not change with the new ZBook 15 G3. But can the notebook for 4,000 Euros (~$4558) meet our high expectations?

All told, we were a little underwhelmed by the display—an unfortunate first impression for a workstation, and one we're sure would be reversed by the 4K DreamColor panel—but otherwise impressed by the HP ZBook 15 G3. It racked up win after win in our benchmark tests (and is the second fastest mobile workstation we've put through SPECviewperf), and can be configured as a real powerhouse in a 5.7-pound package.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
