HP ZBook Power 15 G9 laptop review - Mobile workstation with a matte 4K display

Alder Lake and RTX A2000. With the ZBook Power 15, HP offers a mobile workstation in the entry-level segment. In addition to the current Alder Lake CPUs, professional GPUs from Nvidia are also used, but only chips up to the RTX A2000.

HP offers various mobile workstation model series, starting with the thin ZBook Firefly entry-level devices, followed by the ZBook Studio, the ZBook Fury high-end models, and the ZBook Power, which is supposed to represent a good combination of price and performance. While the case is not particularly slim, this also brings with it a sufficient number of ports. We test the ZBook Power 15 G9 6B8C4EA version for around 2,800 Euros (~$2981), which is very well equipped with a Core i7-12700H, the RTX A2000, 32 GB of RAM, a 1-TB SSD, and a matte 4K display. Compared to the ZBook Power 15 G8 predecessor (here in our test), there are no changes in the case and input devices, so we will keep those sections short here, focusing instead on the performance sections.

Case and Equipment

The aluminum case remains unchanged from the previous G8 model. While the quality is good overall, the stability doesn't quite reach that of the more expensive workstation models such as the ZBook Studio or ZBook Fury. In addition, the display wobbles slightly after changing the opening angle. Visually, the ZBook Power 15 G9 looks modest and unremarkable with its darker gray color. The bottom of the case is only screwed in and can be removed easily. Besides the working memory, you can also access the two M.2 SSD slots, but the WLAN module is soldered in.

In terms of the connection equipment, there continues to be a number of USB-A ports as well as USB-C with Thunderbolt 4, Ethernet, and an HDMI port. However, it lacks a card reader. The WLAN module was upgraded, and the AX211 card from Intel now also supports the Wi-Fi 6E standard. We are able to connect to the 6-GHz network from our Asus reference router without any problems. The transfer rates we measure are very high and also stabile. An LTE/5G module is not available for the ZBook Power.

As the webcam, there continues to be a 720p sensor including an IR camera for face recognition. The webcam does its job, but the image quality is not very good even in good light conditions.

Input Devices - ZBook Power with a good keyboard

Compared to the ZBook Power 15 G8, there are also no changes in the input devices. The keyboard with background illumination offers a very good typing experience, and there is a dedicated number block on the right side. In terms of the layout, you have to get used to the slightly smaller arrow keys and the Power button in the top key row. The fingerprint scanner is placed on the right, below the keyboard. In our test, the ClickPad works reliably, but the clicking sound is a bit loud.

Subpixel array
Visible halos
Visible halos

We already tested the regular Full HD panel with the predecessor, and our current test configuration of the ZBook Power G9 is equipped with the optional low power 4K IPS display. As in the predecessor, this still has the 16:9 format (3,840 x 2,160 pixels). Subjectively, the LG-Philips panel produces a good image quality, but bright contents appear slightly grainy on the matte display surface. In addition, the response times are not particularly fast, and we also see some clear ghosting effects in practice, for example in the mouse pointer.

HP advertises a brightness of 400 cd/m², and our test unit also achieves this in the top range. At the same time, the black value is very low at 0.15, leading to a very good contrast ratio of more than 2,500:1. At full brightness and with a dark background, there are some noticeable light halos. PWM is not used.

We measure the panel with the professional CalMAN software. There is a clearly visible red tint in the state of delivery, and the color temperature is also too warm. This is unfortunate, since we are able to significantly improve the display with our own calibration (color profile available for free download from the link above), which leads to excellent results particularly in the grayscale and completely gets rid of the color tint. The color deviations compared to the reference sRGB color space (which is covered fully) are also slightly lower, leaving only 100% blue as an outlier. However, the calibrated panel is still suitable for image processing.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
28.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 14.5 ms rise
↘ 14.1 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.4 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 70 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (22.5 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
45.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 21.2 ms rise
↘ 24.6 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 74 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (35.6 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 19287 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Outdoors, the display benefits from the matte surface, and as long as you avoid direct reflections of light sources, you can still easily recognize the display contents even on bright days. The viewing angle stability of the IPS panel is very good.

Performance - ZBook with Intel Alder Lake

 
 
 

Test Conditions

HP doesn't offer any additional power configuration options. During the test, we are able to observe some strongly varying performance values. While the situation is improved slightly with some BIOS updates, it still isn't completely stable. With 105/75 watts, the TDP values are basically configured high, but the processor is only able to use up to 90 watts at most for one second once a while, before it quickly levels out at around 55 watts. At times, the processor even starts out with this value (with previous BIOS versions, it was even less than 40 watts). 

Processor

The Core i7-12700H comes from Intel's current Alder Lake generation, combining 6 fast Performance cores with 8 Efficiency cores. The single-core performance is very good and about 15-20% faster than that of the predecessor with the Core i7-11800H. However, in the multicore benchmarks the performance is slightly disappointing considering the large case, with a lot of potential remaining unused. For example, the ZBook Studio 16 G9 with the same processor is about 20% faster in the multicore tests. We also try to raise the TDP values manually, but the cooling is unable to handle more than 60-65 watts, since the CPU temperatures will then increase to more than 95 °C (203 °F).

In battery operation, the power consumption of the CPU is limited to 30 watts. This has no influence on the single-core performance, but results in a performance deficit of around 30% in the multicore tests (9,926 points CB R23 Multi). You can find additional CPU benchmarks in our technical section.

2x PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD slots

The ZBook Power 15 G9 offers two fast PCIe 4.0 slots for M.2 SSDs. Our test unit uses a large, 1-TB PM9A1 from Samsung (OEM version of the 980 Pro). After turning it on for the first time, 890 GB of this are available to the user. The transfer rates of the SSD are excellent, and the performance also remains almost completely stable even after longer load. You can find additional SSD benchmarks here.

Graphics Card

GPU-Z Nvidia RTX A2000
GPU-Z Nvidia RTX A2000

The Nvidia RTX A2000 is the fastest GPU that HP offers for the ZBook Power 15 G9. This is the updated version with 8 GB of GDDR6-VRAM. However, the GPU is only allowed to consume a maximum of 45 watts (including 5 watts Dynamic Boost), which makes it one of the slowest versions. In our benchmarks, the GPU therefore also drops below the average of the results that we measured for the RTX A2000 so far. The gaming performance is comparable to that of the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti consumer GPU, but thanks to the certified drivers, the performance in professional applications can also turn out significantly better.

Under constant load, the GPU performance remains completely stabile. As already in the processor, the power consumption of the graphics card in battery operation is also limited to 30 watts, leading to a performance reduction of almost 25% (3,589 points Time Spy Graphics). You can find additional GPU benchmarks here.
