86% HP ZBook Studio G4 Laptop Review
Source: Reviewed.com Archive.org version
If you're a demanding power user, the HP ZBook is where the party's at. Between the Intel Xeon 1535M (7th Gen) processor and 32GB of ECC memory, it totally dominated our CPU benchmark. In addition to the powerful internals, the display is really colorful as well. It's also bright enough to easily combat glare and ambient light. Last but not least, the FastCharge feature is a blessing, as it reaches a full charge in a little under an hour. While there's a lot we like, we had a few gripes.

70% HP ZBook Studio G4
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
At more than $3,000, the HP ZBook Studio G4 is expensive even for a mobile workstation. Its larger cousin, the HP ZBook 15 G4, offers better computing performance at the same price point, so it's the workstation to buy unless weight is the most important factor. Still, maxing out the processor and memory options on the Studio G4 will result in a top-notch performer, and one that's arguably worth its expense if you need ISV certification and copious computing power in a slim package that can be upgraded with even better components in a few years.

80% HP ZBook Studio G4 Review and Ratings

Mobile workstation customers are arguably the most demanding of all laptop buyers, and certainly the least likely to see the dream of ultrabook slimness, 20-hour battery life, and raging horsepower packed into the same machine. That means the HP ZBook Studio G4 inevitably makes compromises (though not as many, we'd wager, as the dual-core-CPU'd ZBook 14u and 15u, which are aimed more at execs who need to view, but not create, complex models). To put it another way, we rewarded the ZBook 15 G4's speed and expandability with our Editors' Choice; the Studio, at least the non-DreamColor model seen here, falls an inch short.

NVIDIA Quadro M1200: Mainstream workstation graphics card based on the GM107 Maxwell architecture with 640 shaders and a 128-bit wide memory bus. The GPU is similar to the consumer GTX 960M.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

E3-1535M v6: Professional quad-core notebook processor based on the Kaby Lake architecture running at 3.1 - 4.2 GHz. It is the top model of the Kaby Lake H-series in the beginning of 2017 and therefore also the fastest mobile processor. The chip also integrates the professional HD Graphics P630 GPU with certified drivers clocked at 350 - 1100 MHz and is manufactured in a 14 nm process (improved compared to Skylake).» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

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.

78.67%: 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.
