Lisa Gade reviews the HP ZBook Firefly G8 14”, a premium thin and light “mobile workstation” with Intel Tiger Lake CPUs, NVIDIA Quadro T500 graphics and optional DreamColor display. Invest in yourself! Use my link and check out the first chapter of any DataCamp course for FREE! https://bit.ly/3wvdRln . The aluminum chassis ZBook targets those who need better than typical Ultrabook performance with a max of 32GB or 64GB RAM, NVIDIA graphics and the optional wide gamut, 500 nit DreamColor display. It’s available with 4G or 5G, has good battery life, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports. The Firefly is also available in a 15” size. It targets engineering managers and power users, rather than those who need the performance of HP’s full throttle mobile workstations like the ZBook Power, Studio and Create lines.

The HP ZBook Firefly 15 G8 offers less raw performance than a bulkier desktop-replacement model, but its Intel "Tiger Lake" CPU and available Nvidia Quadro T500 graphics make it peppy enough for 2D and mild 3D design and rendering needs. Its trim and light chassis, admirable input devices, and mobile-friendly 5G and long battery life make it a practical on-the-go choice. With little to dislike except a posh price—corporate buyers can hope for fleet discounts—the Firefly 15 G8 wins our Editors' Choice seal of approval among lightweight mobile workstations.

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