HP ZBook Firefly 16 G10 review – the CPU clock under heavy load is low but the battery life is impressive
HP is a company that offers a large amount of workstations in almost any price category. Some of them are really impressive like the HP ZBook Studio 16 G10 which is portable, pricey, and powerful. This time around we will show you the HP ZBook Firefly 16 G10. The price of this one is also on the high side but at least the device can attract future buyers with good portability for a 16-inch laptop, metal build, and tons of CPU options.
Yep, you can choose among eight processor variants including 15W and 28W Raptor Lake U and P models. In terms of power, all looks good, at least at first sight. There is a dGPU pro-grade NVIDIA RTX model for the ones who need such a chip for graphics-heavy tasks. Display-wise, the top panel is an OLED variant with a 2880×1800 resolution. If you don’t need such a thing, the base one is a 1200p IPS unit and there is also a touchscreen option.
The rest looks normal for a modern workstation – Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, modern I/O, Web camera with a privacy shutter, and optional LTE connectivity.
