79% HP ZBook 14u G4 Mobile Workstation review: Portable and robust, but performance disappoints
Source: Zdnet.com Archive.org version
HP's 14-inch ZBook 14u G4 is sturdily built, relatively thin and light for a mobile workstation, and provides plenty of connections and configuration options. However, we were disappointed with the performance -- particularly from the discrete GPU -- from this entry-level mobile workstation.

80% HP ZBook 14u G4 Review and Ratings
Source: Computer Shopper Archive.org version
The HP ZBook 14u G4 has a place in the market, especially for those who need to do things like access complex CAD files on the go, or for engineers or content professionals who are on their feet or on location for much of the day. Certain classes of technically minded students will also find the machine attractive, both for its durable build quality and its pricing. You can get into a FirePro workstation-class graphics chip for under a grand here in the base model, although in most other respects, the rest of the machine at that price amounts to, essentially, a well-built midrange mainstream laptop.

The HP ZBook 14u G4 is a beefed-up business machine for the folks whothat need a workstation without the extra bulk. It offers a range of reliability and safety features, like MIL-SPEC- certified construction and guaranteed compatibility with AutoCAD and similar programs, but it''s far from the powerhouse most people expect when buying a workstation.

AMD FirePro W4190M: Professional lower-mid-range workstation graphics card which is based on the same Mars chip as the Radeon HD 8790M and FirePro W4170M.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

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

76.33%: 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.
