You would pay $2000 for one USB type A port?

[@mini9503]

​@@LightsLuck- Prices are identical. HP's business laptops have "fake price" listed on the site, the _Real_ selling price is usually exactly half the official msrp so you can assume around $1800 USD for the 3060 model. Unlike XPS, there's a mDP port on the ZBook that allows the dGPU to connect directly into external monitors, which is an essential feature for lots of 'Pros'. Plus I don't enjoy the typing feel on the redesigned XPS keyboard, it's too shallow and flat. So overall, the ZBook Studio is the superior laptop of the two for the same price.

Well, obviously. Alex talked about that in the video. That said, you’d be hard pressed to find a 3060 mobile out-performing a 3070 mobile unless the 3070 was severely under-powered and the 3060 had a couple hundred watts to play with.

You can charge it over STANDARDIZED 65W type C (PD) or DC jack so you don't lose that one type-C. It's also lighter than the XPS 15, better battery life (i7 1165G + nVidia Quadro vs i7 9800 + nVidia 1050), and HP's attention to detail really shows. Captive philips screws on the bottom panel (XPS has tiny torx screw that losen and disappear over time), power button on a location that you don't press accidentally when you pickup the laptop (right-thumb press), full-size keyboard on a 15" laptop (even the XPS 17 doesn't have a full size keyboard - whaaaat) plus trackpoint.

This is a really good looking laptop, and those bezels are amazing. However, a 3070 doesn't mean anything in a platform that constantly thermal throttles. That's the big reason the XPS only has a 3050, because they've figured out it really doesn't make sense to slap in huge GPUs that sit at 80 degrees after 30 seconds. So, I'm VERY curious to see if this thing has the brawn to back up the looks, or if it just dies a death after like 20-30 minutes of gaming. Also, that metal chassis=hot palms. The XPS uses carbon fiber, which basically never gets hot. So, that's another win right there.

4k on a laptop is already pointless, so lets add 120Hz to it and make it so there's no chance it can manage it. Oh and lets also make it more than 4 grand, that'll make it a good value proposition...

it's a NOT ALUMINIUM ‼️ Broke the bottom cover when it fell down : it's simple plastic 😰...

I prefer my speakers in the hinge. i must say that is one genious way they did it on my yoga c930, sounds good to.

5:01 i was washing the dishes and that got my head turned😂

Glad I found this 😅 my original work laptop broke and I’ve had it for 4 years, now I’m the branch manager and IT said they were upgrading me to a new laptop since I don’t go out in the field anymore 😅

I think this is what they gave me at work. It has bios-level permissions and tracking, the OS is completely stripped of any permissions to the point I can't even see a C drive or connect to wifi. All I can do with my 16 threads and 32G RAM, fast SSD and Quadro card is launch Internet Explorer and browse my company's website.

This is hilarious😂

3:43 With my chunky fingers, gonna be backspacing and hitting that power button by accident a whole lot though.

[@Ender275]

Honestly this laptop seems pretty impressive. Only thing I don’t like about it from a cosmetic stand point is the huge Z on the back of it but that’s nothing that Dbrand can’t fix. Wish that the price was lower.

We need more budget laptops. I keep watching these videos and then realise they're $2.5k or more

The fan in my bathroom? Bud, I can hear the fan from my bathroom in the next room lmao

[@anyo_giantpebble8113]

I love how the HP looks the speakers sound good but I like the he gray and the dell looks a little smaller which is why I would get a laptop

[@Piketom1]

I love OLED but think MINI LED is just better for desktop and laptop displays. Mini LED is brighter, offers similar levels on contrast and HDR and gets much brighter.

[@rubenthijs746]

Well, I hate my corporate Zbook Only 1080p for 17", too big for my backpack, doesn't charge via USB-C, B&O speakers make the chassis vibrate, Thunderbolt only works on one port, ... Changing it back for a Lenovo.

[@huttonberries768]

Tbh that sounds like a you problem

[@huttonberries768]

@@rubenthijs746 like I said, that's a you problem

This is the laptop equivalent "sleeper" car. Business up front, party in the back. It should have a default macro that instantly mutes sound, minimizes a game, switches to a different windows virtual desktop and fires up an excel workbook. They could have a dedicated key and call it the "boss" key.

[@ridingweeb4801]

Why does no review ever answer the question if the fan spins for light load especially with such a powerful device?

[@handlemonium]

Apparently, the battery life on the Zbook Studio G8 is similar to the Eluktronics MAG-15: *6-7 hours (source: Notebookcheck)*

[@ErLeuchten]

6:02 i definitly like the stiffness of the g8 display.
