HP ZBook Firefly 16 G9 review – great build quality but disappointing performance
Source: Laptop Media
Unfortunately, HP really sunk its own ships with the ZBook Firefly 16 G9. Its performance is really poor. So much, in fact, that its CPU botches down to 12W of power. The situation with the dGPU is not much better. It only runs at 20W, which is 10W lower than the competition. And this is essentially what workstations stand for – performance and reliability. Other than that, the battery life is good, even though we had the smaller 51Wh battery pack. We got 10 hours of Web browsing, or 8 hours of video playback on a single charge. Honestly, this wouldn’t be enough for a whole workday on battery power, considering the power-intensive nature of the workflow. HP ZBook Firefly 16 G9’s IPS panel has a WUXGA resolution with a 16:10 aspect ratio, comfortable viewing angles, and a good contrast ratio. Thankfully, its backlight doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment.

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.
