HP ZBook 15u G5 - Pros & Cons

has strong viewing angles thanks to its IPS display
flexibility and component accessibility make
Snappy keyboard with collaboration features
high-quality metal case and
cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye
build quality is very good
thin
light and well-built
a comfortable and quite enjoyable listening experience
street-smart
insightful design
terrific audio products is excellent
a solid click and its Precision driver means
Stable and rigid chassis
efficient and health-friendly profiles
it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate
makes them 50 times more durable compared to conventional keys
connectivity and features the usual suspects as well

the fan occasionally sounds as if it is pulsing
playing with toys and telling people what gear to buy
screen shows relatively slow response rates
notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession
poor viewing angles
the design is dull and clunky
response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (22
2-inch touchpad is just a tad too big
yellow rickety shop lights illuminated
frequency is too low
users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches
it s really only really suited to lightly threaded workflows
the performance is pretty poor
clock speeds are considerably lower than other mobile CPUs
a special SKU
is not available in the UK
s a little bit of flex in the centre of the keyboard
The battery is disappointing when paired with the 4K display
G5 lacks a VGA port
light intensity of the backlight is not lowered
The modest color range is a disadvantage
native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors
a lot of time
hardly get to see the Windows Hello screen before
nice to be able to have a bit more wiggle room here
the storage is untouchable

It's a bruiser compared with Apple's MacBook Pro or Dell's Precision 5530, but HP's ZBook 15 G5 is an ultra-powerful, ultra-configurable mobile workstation ready to crush the toughest jobs and biggest datasets.
