10 percent lighter and 12 percent smaller than the previous generation ZBook 15 G6, the ZBook 15 G7 is a huge overhaul that doesn't sacrifice key workstation features just for the sake of style.

Archive.org versionOverall, the ZBook Fury 15 G7 is a potent machine built for the people who know what to do with its hardware. When engineers need to employ specalized software packages like Autodesk's AutoCAD or run simulations in ANSYS Fluent for mission-critical tasks, having certified drivers is important. The ZBook Fury has a great mix of performance, portability, and the software support required for these tasks. Anybody in a corporate IT department that wants to source a true mobile workstation for their engineers and designers should put HP's ZBook Fury 15 G7 on their short list.

HP weren't exaggerating when they said their latest ZBook would be the "world's fastest 14-inch workstation PC". The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 runs well on specialized desktops and mini PCs, but it's even more impressive on a thin-and-light 14-inch form factor.

The HP ZBook Ultra G1a is a pretty serious machine. It's got conservative stylings with an aluminum enclosure, company logo, and not an LED to be found. But serious also means a factory-calibrated OLED display for creative pros, sixteen CPU cores for those who need lots of performance, and gobs of memory. Serious even extends to the integrated GPU which boasts excellent performance that's on par with a lot of discrete solutions paired with "serious" professional drivers rather than the gaming-focused variety. Unfortunately, the seriousness of the machine also results in a couple of shortcomings. First of all, the Wolf Security Suite did have a performance impact so we tested with it disabled.

If you’re OS agnostic like I tend to be, you want a portable, powerful, efficient workstation to meet your day-to-day requirements and make sure you don’t miss a beat when working or creating in your off time. The HP ZBook Ultra 14 G1a comes very close to eclipsing my MacBook Pro in terms of portability and beats the base MacBook Pro's CPU power, but it comes at the cost of battery life and a higher price. The base configuration of the ZBook Ultra costs $2,599, which is a bit steep for the average consumer. And it doesn’t get the full leverage of the Ryzen AI Max Pro chipset’s unified memory. If you need the ultimate combination of affordability, power, and battery life, the MacBook Pro 14 (M4, 2024) is still the way to go, especially if you don’t need to run Windows to access all of your applications.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
