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.

The ZBook X G1i 16 is a refreshed ZBook Power 16 but with faster and more efficient processors to tackle thin-and-light competitors like the Dell Precision 5690.

The HP ZBook X G1i is a seriously svelte and superbly powerful mobile workstation. On the higher-end models, like the one reviewed, it's got the chops to chew through complex calculations, 3D modeling, and anything else you could dream up. But if you can't afford to crank the sliders up to the top, it's no different from most consumer laptops, except the price tag is twice what you'd expect to pay for a comparable Arrow Lake mobile clamshell with no discrete GPU. That said, anyone needing a mobile workstation won't be settling for second-best, which means speccing it out to the nines. In this realm, value takes a backseat to the simple equation of "can it do the task or not," and in that calculus, the HP ZBook X G1i is very good indeed. The only question mark is over the 8GB of VRAM on the discrete GPU, because while it's enough for video editing or other creative tasks, it's nowhere near enough to deal with many of the AI models that you might want to use in the field.

The HP ZBook X G1i really is a wonderful machine – the question should be whether you will maximize its value for your work and your needs. That's because it comes with a weighty near-$4,000 price tag from some vendors (especially if you opt for the 4K resolution version). We would highly recommend this machine if money was no object, and you needed a reliable and powerful machine that can blast through any intensive workloads, from machine learning projects to 3D modeling or CAD. It's really a machine for power users, and a fantastic one at that – but if portability is more of a priority, or a stronger battery life – or you even just need something for more basic tasks – we would consider a cheaper option. That said, for a workstation, you couldn't ask for much more.

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 Quadro RTX 5000 Max-Q: Professional high-end laptop graphics card based on the TU104 chip with 3,072 shaders and 16 GB GDDR6 VRAM. Compared to the normal mobile variant, the Max-Q variants are clocked lower and work in a more efficient state. Currently, we know of three variants with different clock speeds and power consumptions (80, 85 and 90 W).
NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell Generation Laptop: It is a mid-range GPU that belongs to Nvidia's professional series. It's based on the Blackwell architecture and features 3328 CUDA processing cores as well as 8 GB of GDDR7 memory.

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.

79.6%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
