HP ZBook Power G10 review – quiet workstation with gaming capabilities


    Performance: CPU, GPU, Gaming Tests

    CPU options

    There are six CPU variants for configuring – Intel Core i5-13500H, Intel Core i5-13600H, Core i7-13700H, Core i7-13800H, Core i9-13900H, and Core i9-13900HK. We decided to buy a device with the Core i7-13700H because this one is the smart choice. It has 6 P cores and 8 E cores just like the i9-13900HK but the i7 CPU is cheaper.

    Here, we evaluate the CPU's performance using a real-world 3D rendering task, assessing its ability to handle complex computations and rendering workloads efficiently.

    Results are from the Cinebench 2024 Multi-Core test (higher is better)

    GPU options

    You can choose between four dGPU variants – NVIDIA RTX A500 (Laptop), NVIDIA RTX A1000 (Laptop), RTX 2000 Ada Generation, and RTX 3000 Ada Generation (50W). We got the latter since we want to see if the laptop can be used for gaming after work.

    The gaming performance of this machine is definitely good and the results of the four benchmarks are close to the HP ZBook Studio 16 G10 scores. Keep in mind that our machine is configured with the 50W version of the NVIDIA RTX 3000 Ada Generation GPU and the Zbook Studio sibling comes with the 60W iteration of the same graphics chip.
