HP ZBook Power 16 G11 A review: Powerful workstation with AMD Zen 4
The ZBook Power 16 G11 succeeds the older ZBook Power 15 G10 with both new internal processors and new external changes. As its name implies, the ZBook Power 16 G11 modernizes the series by dropping the old 15.6-inch form factor for a 16-inch design. It sits in between the lower-end ZBook Firefly and higher-end ZBook Fury when it comes to performance. Users can configure with either Meteor Lake Intel Core Ultra CPUs or AMD Ryzen Zen 4 CPUs and Nvidia RTX graphics.
Our unit in review is a higher-end AMD configuration (ZBook Power 16 G11 A) with the Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU, RTX 2000 Ada GPU, and 120Hz 2560 x 1600p IPS display for approximately $2100. Options are very wide ranging from the Ryzen 5 8645HS up to the Ryzen 9 8945HS with 1200p display and RTX 1000, RTX 2000, or RTX 3000 graphics. Users can also opt for no discrete graphics at all.
Competitors in this space include other 16-inch workstations like the Dell Precision 5690, MSI CreatorPro Z16P, or the Lenovo ThinkPad P16s G2.

Case — MIL-STD 810 Certified
HP utilizes similar gray aluminum alloy materials for almost all of its ZBook models for a sense of consistency across the family. In this case, the ZBook Power 16 G11 sports the same smooth matte metal texture as the ZBook Power 15 G10 but with superficial changes to the keyboard borders, outer lid trim, and bottom panel.
Chassis rigidity is excellent with minimal bending and depressions when trying to twist the base. However, the hinges and lid could have been stiffer especially since the lid can open almost the full 180 degrees unlike on the Precision 5690.
The new 16-inch design is about 10 percent heavier and 7 percent larger than the outgoing 15-inch model. It's notably not any thinner which is a bummer as it's already thicker than some competitors like the ThinkPad P1 Gen 7. The ZBook Fury 16 G11 is even heavier and thicker still but with faster CPU and GPU options to compensate. HP offers the slimmer ZBook Firefly 16 series should users want a more portable option.
Connectivity — Thunderbolt 4 Ports
The model includes fewer USB-A ports than on last year's ZBook Power 15 G10. Everything else has returned including the Smart Card reader and dual USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports albeit rearranged. The ports along the left edge in particular are far too crowded and could have been spread out a bit more.
SD Card Reader
The model integrates a MicroSD card reader whereas the feature was missing on the ZBook Power 15 G10. Transfer rates are very fast; moving 1 GB of pictures from our UHS-II test card takes less than 6 seconds compared to 12 seconds on the ZBook Fury 16 G11 or ThinkPad P1 Gen 7.

Webcam
A 5 MP webcam comes standard alongside IR and a physical shutter slider similar to the ThinkPad P16s G2. The Precision 5690 comes with a much lower resolution 2 MP webcam.
Maintenance
The bottom panel pops off relatively easily with just a Phillips screwdriver and sharp edge. The internals have been completely redesigned when compared to the ZBook Power 15 G10 while retaining the same upgradeable options like the 2x SODIMM slots, 2x PCIe4 x4 NVMe SSD slots, and removable WLAN module. WAN is an added option this time around.
Sustainability
The manufacturing utilizes low halogen while the packaging consists of molded paper pulp and recycled plastics made from 100 percent sustainable sources and 60 percent post-consumer sources, respectively.
Accessories And Warranty
There are no extras in the box to accompany the AC adapter and paperwork. Disappointingly, the standard limited warranty is only one year if purchased in the US whereas the ZBook Fury comes with three years as standard.
Input Devices — Spacious Keys
Keyboard
The typing experience is similar to a Spectre x360 16 in that the keys are firm with relatively sharp feedback to be comfortable for typing. Key travel in particular feels deeper than on most Ultrabooks to avoid the typical shallow or spongy feedback.
The numpad has returned whereas it is missing on the competing Precision 5690. Its keys are slightly narrower than the main QWERTY keys, however, and so feedback is noticeably softer when pressed.
Touchpad
The clickpad is larger than before (12.5 x 8 cm vs. 11.5 × 7 cm) to take advantage of the larger 16-inch form factor. Dedicated keys are still missing and are instead available on the pricier ZBook Fury series. Traction and feedback are nonetheless smooth and clicky, respectively, to be more reliable than the normally spongier clickpads on most consumer laptops.
Display — IPS Across The Board
A total of five display options are available as follows all of which are IPS only. Our configuration ships with the bolded option.
- 1920 x 1200, non-touch, matte, 250 nits, 45 percent NTSC, 60 Hz
- 1920 x 1200, touch, matte, 250 nits, 45 percent NTSC, 60 Hz
- 1920 x 1200, non-touch, matte, 400 nits, 100 percent sRGB, 60 Hz
- 1920 x 1200, non-touch, matte, 1000 nits, 100 percent sRGB, HP Sure View, 60 Hz
- 2560 x 1600, non-touch, matte, 400 nits, 100 percent sRGB, 120 Hz
If image quality is a concern, users should skip the lower-end first two options as color coverage would only be about 60 percent of sRGB. The super-bright 1000 nit panel is noteworthy since many other workstations do not offer this feature, but the option is unfortunately tied to Sure View which severely limits viewing angles for increased privacy. There are no OLED, HDR, or P3 options to speak of which is somewhat disappointing for a performance workstation. Users would have to upgrade to the HP ZBook Fury 16 G11 or consider the ThinkPad P16s G2 for such features.

The display is decently calibrated out of the box against the sRGB standard. Calibrating the panel with our X-Rite colorimeter would improve average grayscale and color deltaE values even further from 3.7 and 2.16 to just 2.5 and 1.37, respectively. Our calibrated ICM profile is available to download above for free.

Performance — New Zen 4, Same Zen 4 Performance
Testing Conditions
We set both Windows and MyHP to Performance mode prior to running the benchmarks below. Optimus 1.0 is supported.
Processor
The Ryzen 7 8845HS doesn't offer much over the Ryzen 7 7840HS that it replaces in last year's ZBook Power 15 G10. In fact, benchmarks put both processors neck-to-neck by just a few percentage points to be essentially identical. This may be disappointing to power users who were expecting more significant performance upgrades in the transition from 15-inch to 16-inch. Faster Raptor Lake-HX options are available only on HP's thicker ZBook Fury series.
The main advantage that the Ryzen 7 8845HS holds over the Ryzen 7 7840HS is AI acceleration due to its integrated NPU. However, Co-Pilot+ is incompatible with Hawk Point CPUs and so the practicality of the NPU is very limited on this machine.
Downgrading to the Ryzen 5 8645HS is expected to reduce performance by 25 to 30 percent while upgrading to the Ryzen 9 8945HS is expected to improve performance by just 5 percent.

Stress Test
The CPU would boost to 4.3 GHz, 65 W, and 90 C when initiating Prime95 stress before quickly falling and stabilizing at 3.8 GHz and 50 W to prevent higher core temperatures. Results are close to what we observed on the ZBook Power 15 G10 if not slightly warmer by a few degrees.
Interestingly, the CPU throttles more heavily to just 2.8 GHz when running both Prime95 and FurMark simultaneously instead of 3.8 GHz as on last year's model. This change was likely to improve core temperatures; the CPU now stabilizes at a more comfortable 66 C instead of the 99 C on the ZBook Power 15 G10.
Running Cyberpunk 2077 on Balanced mode instead of Performance mode results in both slightly cooler core temperatures and slightly slower average clock rates as shown below. GPU board power draw would also drop from 35 W to 30 W against the advertised maximum of 50 W.
Average CPU Clock (GHz) | GPU Clock (MHz) | Average CPU Temperature (°C) | Average GPU Temperature (°C) | |
System Idle | -- | -- | 47 | 49 |
Prime95 Stress | 3.9 | -- | 92 | 64 |
Prime95 + FurMark Stress | 2.8 | 1320 | 66 | 65 |
Cyberpunk 2077 Stress (Balanced mode) | 1.6 | 1425 | 74 | 62 |
Cyberpunk 2077 Stress (Performance mode) | 1.7 | 1590 | 77 | 63 |
System Performance
PCMark results are nearly identical to what we recorded on last year's ZBook Power 15 G10. This means that traditional day-to-day loads like browsing or editing aren't noticeably faster on our newer model. RAM performance has not improved as well.
We experienced a wake-from-sleep issue where a hard shutdown was required to return to Windows. We weren't able to reliably replicate the problem, but the fact that it happened at all on a mobile workstation is noteworthy nonetheless.

DPC Latency
LatencyMon reveals DPC issues related to HDAudBus.sys even after multiple retests. 4K video playback at 60 FPS is otherwise excellent with just a single dropped frame recorded during a 60-second window.

Storage Devices
Our test unit ships with a 2 TB Samsung PM9A1 PCIe4 x4 NVMe SSD for sequential read rates as high as 6700 MB/s. Unfortunately, the drive would quickly throttle down to the low 2000 MB/s range after just a few minutes of stress as shown by our DiskSpd loop test results below. We repeated the test and results would not improve. This is disappointing as the WD drive in the older ZBook Power 15 G10 would not exhibit any throttling issues. A heat spreader would have likely improved performance.
