80% HP ZBook Power 16 G11 A Review
Source: PC Mag
HP's ZBook Power offers creators and designers a spacious display and solid performance at a relatively affordable price. While its screen lacks the complete color coverage found in a top-end workstation, it's still suitable for many creative tasks. This ZBook also stands out with some of the best battery life we've seen from a workstation and maintains the excellent build quality we see in HP's high-end models. Provided you take advantage of the company's frequent sales, the ZBook Power is sure to satisfy.

HP ZBook Power 16 G11 review – All-Metal Workstation with Quiet Fans and Capable Cooling
Source: Laptop Media
The ZBook Power 16 G11 is a solid metal workstation with potent cooling, quiet fans, and adequate performance. Also, the comfort during prolonged periods of max system stress is very good since the keyboard becomes just a bit warm on its top side. In terms of clocks, this is the best-performing machine with a Core Ultra 7 155H that we have tested up to date. The chip can sustain ~ 4.05 GHz / 2.69 GHz P and E core frequency in short loads and 3.24 GHz / 2.68 GHz in long heavy stress which is an outstanding result! The NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation is described as a 50W model, and yes, the chip can maintain this kind of power limit in graphics tasks. The RAM modules are cooled by pads on both sides, which is a nice touch.

80% The HP ZBook Power G11 is a behemoth with plenty to offer
Source: It Pro
The HP ZBook Power G11's defining feature is the power it offers – its graphical performance in particular. You also get plenty of connectivity options and optional add-ons – all fitted into a larger chassis that is reasonably weighted and sized. You may not need to carry this mobile workstation around with you every day, but it's about as portable as you can get for a larger machine – giving you the option should you wish to exercise it. Not least of all thanks to a great battery life. We were disappointed, however, with its display – given you're likely investing in it for its graphics performance (meaning you are inclined to work more with visuals), you would have to plug this machine into an external display to really get the most out of it.

Comment

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

NVIDIA NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU: A mid-range professional graphics card for use in laptops that sports 3,072 CUDA cores and 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. It would be fair to say that this is a GeForce RTX 4060 (Laptop) in disguise; consequently, the former is powered by the same AD107 chip as the latter, and is fast enough to handle any triple-A game at 1080p with Ultra quality settings. The product was brought into existence in 2023. It leverages TSMC's 5 nm process and the Ada Lovelace architecture; the Nvidia-recommended TGP range is very wide at 35 W to 140 W leading to bizarre performance differences between different systems powered by what is supposed to be the same graphics card.

These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing.

NVIDIA NVIDIA RTX 3000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU: A higher-end professional graphics card for use in laptops that sports 4,608 CUDA cores and 8 GB of ECC GDDR6 VRAM. It would be fair to say that this is a GeForce RTX 4070 (Laptop) in disguise. Brought into existence in 2023, the RTX 3000 leverages TSMC's 5 nm process and Nvidia's Ada Lovelace architecture to achieve very decent performance combined with moderate power consumption. This graphics card is fast enough to run many games at 1440p with quality set to High. The Nvidia-recommended TGP range is very wide at 35 W to 140 W leading to bizarre performance differences between different systems powered by what is supposed to be the same graphics card.

AMD Hawk Point (Zen 4/4c):

R7 8845HS: A powerful Hawk Point family chip that saw the light of day in H2 2023. We believe the 8845HS to be an R7 7840HS in disguise but with higher clock speeds on the Ryzen AI NPU. The 8845HS features 8 cores (16 threads thanks to SMT support) running at up to 5.1 GHz. Last but not the least, the Radeon 780M serves as the integrated GPU.

Intel Meteor Lake-H:

Ultra 7 165H: A high-end Meteor Lake family chip that debuted in December 2023. This 1st Gen Core Ultra processor has come to replace 13th generation Core chips; it has 16 cores (6 + 8 + 2) and 22 threads at its disposal. Its Performance cores, of which there are 6, run at up to 5.0 GHz and are HT-enabled while its Efficient cores, of which there are 10 (8 main cores plus 2 extra ones found in the Low Power Island) run at up to 3.8 GHz. The integrated AI Boost NPU offers two Gen 3 engines for hardware AI workload acceleration. vPro Enterprise and business-centric features such as the Remote Platform Erase are onboard as well. This laptop processor's Base power consumption is 28 W while its Turbo power consumption is not supposed to go over 115 W.

Ultra 9 185H: The top-of-the-line Meteor Lake chip that debuted in December 2023. This 1st Gen Core Ultra processor has come to replace 13th generation Core chips; it has 16 cores (6 + 8 + 2) and 22 threads at its disposal. Its Performance cores, of which there are 6, run at up to 5.1 GHz while its Efficient cores, of which there are 10 (8 main cores plus 2 extra ones found in the Low Power Island) run at up to 3.8 GHz. The 8-core Arc GPU, just out of the oven, serves as the integrated graphics adapter - this runs at up to 2.35 GHz - and there is a bevy of other brand-new technologies on offer as well such as the integrated AI Boost NPU with two Gen 3 engines for hardware AI workload acceleration. vPro Enterprise and business-centric features such as the Remote Platform Erase are onboard as well. This laptop processors's "base" power consumption is 45 W, while its Turbo power consumption is not supposed to go over 115 W.

16.00:

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.
