Reviews for the HP ZBook Studio 16 G9, i9-12900H RTX 3080 Ti

80% HP ZBook Studio G9 Review
Source: PC Mag
If the HP ZBook Studio G9 is a terrific and relatively light content creation workstation, then why does it miss Editors' Choice honors? Well, the MSI CreatorPro X17 costs the same as our test unit with a larger 17.3-inch display, as well as a CPU and GPU that push it far ahead in our benchmarks. The M2 Max-powered 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro also outpaces the Studio G9 in several tests, and its $400 higher price gets you more memory, twice the storage, and four times the battery life. That's not to say we don't recommend the ZBook Studio G9. HP's workstation is as impressive a performer as last year's G8 was, especially given its choice of gaming rig or workstation GPUs. It's just that the competition has never been hotter, so creative pros, not laptop makers, are the real winners.

16.00":

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.

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
