    HP ZBook Power G11 in-depth review

    The ZBook Power 16 G11 offers new CPU options and an updated design compared to the G10 model. The latest version is powered by 28W Intel Meteor Lake-H CPUs which are more efficient than the Raptor Lake-H chips that can be found inside the previous-gen sibling. The dGPUs are expectedly pro-grade NVIDIA RTX Ada Generation chips with modest power limits for lower noise during heavy loads.This device is meant for continuous workloads like AI tasks, 3D rendering, CAD, etc. That's why HP has fitted a pretty sizable thermal system with quiet fans but more on that later. Display-wise, you get tons of choices including four 1200p screens (one of them has touch capabilities) and the most expensive model is a 120Hz 1600p unit. There is also a panel that offers the HP Sure View Reflect integrated[...]

    Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

    Opening the Device Hint: Ensure the laptop is powered off and disconnected from any power source before starting.Undo the five Phillips-head screws on the bottom of the laptop. Note that the screws on the bottom are not captive. Use a thin plastic tool to pry the back behind the hinge cover. Once the clips are released, raise the plate near the upper two edges to create gaps in these sections. Pop the gaps created and then pry the sides and the front of the laptop to fully remove the back cover.More info: The inside of the bottom plate houses a cooling pad for the[...]

    In addition to receiving efficient and health-friendly profiles, by buying LaptopMedia's products you also support the development of our labs, where we test devices in order to produce the most objective reviews possible.

    Office Work

    Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.

    Design and Gaming

    This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.

    Health-Guard

    Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
