HP ZBook 15 G2

 

Ultrabooks are fine for writing and web browsing, but they're not suited to serious work. That's where workstations come in – and HP's latest ZBook aims to shake up the market with some serious power.

Powerful processor ; Discrete workstation graphics ; Plenty of ports and interior access ; Customisable specification

Irritating ergonomic niggles ; Bland looks ; High price ; Inconsistent screen quality

HP Zbook 15 G2 review

 

Mighty processing power and a huge price – is this workstation worth almost £3,000?

High-end processor; Discrete ISV-certified graphics; Numerous ports and a well-made exterior; Customisable specification

Bland looks; Heavier and thicker than rivals; Middling screen quality

It’s got great power, decent ergonomics and versatile design, but the HP loses out to its rival thanks to a high price, middling screen quality and its sheer size.

HP ZBook 15 G2 Workstation Review

 

Performance alternative. HP reworked its workstation series and now offers some new features. We decided to equip the HP ZBook 15 G2 with the AMD FirePro M5100 and the high-resolution QHD+ display. We tested how well the two components suit the...

HP introduced some interesting new features for the ZBook 15 with the addition G2. While the case, the ports, the input devices and the good expandability didn't require any changes, the new configuration options are nice additions for the targeted...

HP ZBook 15 G2

 

First Look Review: The price-to-performance ratio for this mobile workstation is less attractive than its beautiful display and long battery life.

Connectivity options for the ZBook 15 G2 are unchanged from the previous model and include one USB 2.0 port, two standard USB 3.0 ports, and a powered USB 3.0 port, wireless (Bluetooth and 802.11) and Ethernet networking, and a DisplayPort 1.2 port...

HP ZBook 15 G2

 

New hardware is always great, but it can be tough to choose the right laptop when you need a lot of power on the road. If you prefer a Windows platform, the HP ZBook 15 G2 is an excellent choice, plus it offers connectivity options that are out of this...

Speed/performance; DTS audio; display quality; connectivity ports

SSD capacity

The only kryptonite for the ZBook 15 G2 might be that the internal storage capacity of its super-speedy SSD is only 256 GB, which, by today’s standards, could be larger to accommodate more scratch disk space. For an additional $500, HP offers an...

HP ZBook 15 G2 Mobile Workstation Review

 

HP extended its mobile workstation lineup with ZBook 15 G2, which is a larger version of ZBook 14. It looks similar but has a larger display in the same kind of body and keyboard. Though the company is targeting professionals looking for a portable...

Great Sturdy Laptop with high end security.

 

This is a very sturdy well made laptop, casing feels like metal. Also has features not found in lower end laptops like a TPM chip so you can use Microsoft's Bitlocker. Very fast, great business laptop. I recommend upgrading it to Windows 10 Pro as soon...

A little on the heavy side, may not be a favorite for people who travel a lot. The 500 GB hard drive a bit small for todays standards; however, the Hard Drive bay can easily accommodate larger 1TB drives.

Room to add additional hard drive, 2 if you remove the dvd drive ; Two free spaces for additional ram ; Thunderbolt port for docking or accessories ; Mini-display port for multiple monitors ; Charging port/LAN on rear of machine

Usual HP bloatware ; Bulky charging pack
