Reviews for the HP ZBook Firefly 16 G11
Source: Creative Bloq
A mobile workstation from HP that brings together one of Intel’s latest CPU designs with a pro-grade Nvidia GPU that’s looking a bit out of date, this portable machine could be perfect for a narrow set of creatives, but most will find what they’re looking for elsewhere. It offers exceptional battery life and superb build quality, with a keyboard that’s extremely comfortable to use, yet is likely to be passed over in favour of more up-to-date graphics chips.

The HP ZBook Firefly 16 G11 is a capable business machine that offers good comfort during heavy loads, great input devices, and a modern port selection with two Thunderbolt 4 ports. However, the not-so-high P and E-core frequencies of 1.75 GHz / 1.01 GHz in longer stress don’t correspond to a device in a workstation category where sustained performance is always important. Still, the system responsiveness during normal office tasks seems on point despite the single-channel memory of our notebook. The snappy SSD (WD PC SN810 SDCPNRY-1T00-1006) perhaps also helps in this scenario. The 1200p IPS display (BOE0C31) is suitable for work. The PWM-free unit offers wide viewing angles and 327 nits of max brightness.

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.

75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
