It's really not possible to tell either way just by watching this video as so much depends on the microphone, audio processing, compression and finally the audio setup used in the device you watch this on can make or break the audio. But if I were to judge by what I can hear I would agree with OP. It appears to me that the HP sounds better than the Dell. Using my setup the HP sounds more open and more detailed in the high range than the Dell. The Dell appears to lack in the high end as well as in the bass register, giving it a muffled sound that lacks in details. But as I wrote I can't really say that's anywhere close to what it sounds like IRL.

[@jubuttib]

@Dylaila So is my laptop that has a 1060 in it. Maybe not as thin and light, but still comfortable to use on a plane. =) Not every gaming laptop is a desktop replacement behemoth, especially after AMD's 4000-series landed.

[@xenonram]

@Dylaila show me one laptop that can't be used on an airplane. And please don't bring up that stupid 100 Wh limit nonsense. Never in the history of the FAA has anyone ever had their laptop battery size scrutinized, or have been denied getting on a plane because of the battery. My old laptop had two 65 Wh batteries, never had an issue.

[@evlee1295]

@@xenonram I mean, there's an off chance that a business exec has to throw their laptop away at the airport checkpoint and proceeds to sue the manufacturer I guess? I've always seen it more as a legal CYA

[@jubuttib]

@Dylaila I mean technically some might fall under those restrictions, but not that many laptops. There's the 100 Wh thing, but even that seems to be mostly aimed towards powerbanks rather than laptops. I thought I might have missed some newer restrictions, but googling the issue revealed only specific restrictions for not being able to take a laptop into the cabin when flying to or from certain countries, and of course not being able to use them during takeoff and landing, but other than that even the 100 Wh limit wasn't mentioned as applying to laptops. EDIT: Even then what would prevent you from taking say a Zephyrus G14 with you? Apple Macbook Pros, MS Surface Books and LG Grams come with larger batteries, and it's an under 2 cm tick 14" laptop that weighs 1.6 kg. And happens to have an RTX 2060 inside it. It's only a bit bigger than a Dell XPS.

Kinda late for this, but HP's weird power button usually takes more than a few seconds of press before activating, so you wouldn't accidentally turn off your laptop. And the delete key being on the corner actually makes it easier to find with the right hand pinky finger imo.

Thanks Alex!!! For finally reviewing something from the Z series by HP. Most of the things people like about other competing laptops HP has been doing them in the Z series for years. Not sure why they don't do them in their "consumer" products sooner so they aren't "catching up" with the competition in that category though. Will you please also compare the Z series desktop to the Apple "pro" desktop for a real comparison instead of saying that there isn't anything else in this category? HP literally created the workstation/professional class desktop computer category when they invented the first "GPU" decades ago and they have dominated it ever since then.

RTX Voice is great for personal communication. No sound designer in their right mind would use it for professional videos. No sound designer in their right mind would pick that time and place to make a video but that is another matter entirely.

Gotta say, I'm loving the addition of critiquing the sustainability. Would love to see it included in every video

HP: We need a shitty logo, our main sleek HP one is too clean for gamers! *sigh*

[@liamodonnell368]

We have these at work for devs, not had one issue with them in over 12 months (older model)

I'm waiting for Elon to get bored with making cars, flying to space and satellite internet... imagine a Tesla Laptop!

[@handlemonium]

Would be cool to see it with a custom-designed 16 core RISC-V CPU.

My main work provided laptop is a ZBook with an i7-7700hq. Man I love this thing, favorite business class I've used. Definitely going to be requesting an upgrade to this new model damn!

[@quietusplus1221]

Alex is getting better and better with the solo stuff. One of my favourite personalities at LTT

[@bottomtext5872]

Wow, a professional looking laptop with actual power. I hope this will become a trend.

[@JuryDutySummons]

So weird they don't have up-gradable ram. The "Z" line has always been the mobile workstation line and some people would really want more then 32gb. Their other z-books are upgradable, but also quite a bit thicker.

The excitement he has for this laptop makes me more interested in the laptop then normal.

6:05 Got to love a Stiff Deck!!! Especially when you press hard on it. :)

[@Zig2593]

all we want is professional looking laptops with that professional build quality that can play games

[@handlemonium]

The Dell's speaker audio sounds more balanced while the HP has a slightly muddy bass boost.

[@diddlysquat123]

Alex loves to just chuck those laptops around. We get a free durability test with every review!

[@rafaelmarkos4489]

I got one of the Zbook studios from work... it's a pretty neat laptop.

[@Arek_R.]

Why is it called diamond cut? What it does have to do with diamonds? It's just a high spindle rpm chamfer on a part that has been anodised.

[@perlsackhd3957]

wause sometimes they use those diamond specific angles

[@jdo248]

The speakers are awesome. HP seemed a little bit muffled. But both sounded great.

[@Loooogooog]

I love that we're getting to see Alex more

[@ACNordstrom]

I really enjoy LTT's B team. Like Colton, Dennis, and this guy.
