Head to squarespace.com... to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain. The ZBook 14u G6 runs Windows 10 on Intel 8th gen Core i5 and i7 CPUs with AMD Radeon Pro WX 3200 dedicated graphics. The 18mm, 3.27 lb. / 1.48kg has plenty of ports, including Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C and Ethernet. It’s available with a 600 nit matte 4K UHD display (our unit) and extremely bright full HD privacy displays. It targets content creators including 2D CAD work. Want it bigger? There’s the 15” ZBook 15u.

I'm glad Lisa is getting good sponsors and that she's very explicit with it, unlike other tech tubers who try to make it a natural recommendation (which totally fails and is quite unappealing).
This laptop looks quite appealing you know... Also, a laptop that has the ventilation every processor deserves.
So who is the thinnest or lightest, or has the fewest ports today.
I love the ports!
upgradeable by the user ssd, and two ram slots up to 32gb, excellent.
good speakers.
dedicated graphics.
ethernet, my goodness.
I would like to seem them compete on having more ports, cooler thermals, removable memory, dual ssds, sd card, better audio and keyboards, workmanship, after purchase service
It has two RAM slots. It has I/O aplomb. It's a winner for a lot of people who wants an upgradeable mobile workstation. I do think the 15" variant may be a better value. Whiskey Lake, when cooled well can equal the same performance that we had in the Kaby Lake H series (45W variants)
All they had to do is fix the bezel, and this would be an amazing laptop. As much as aesthetics isn't a priority, it does play a major role in purchasing for most customers.
Nicely build from HP with as much as possibly socketed. Big like to HP for not following Apple here.
When is the Dell XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 review? 👀
Still waiting for our review loaner from Dell. I want it yesterday ;)
This looks pretty damn good. I hope HP and other manufacturers continue to move in this direction, Lenovo needs some incentive to stop their soldered RAM shenanigans.
x1 extreme doesnt have it, the P series dont have it. True the T series is a mixed bag
4k 100% sRGB, 100% AdobeRGB, 600 nits and matte? NOICE!
That bezel screams for 16:10 aspect ratio. Come on laptop manufacturers, don't use 16:9...
Wide screen bezels give the designer room to make your laptop stronger.
Huh! Interesting to see them try to copy the Thinkpad. lol. It seems like their trackpoint copy is too flat, though, like it's too in-line with the keys. Most of the Thinkpad ones are more raised and pronounced so you don't accidentally press it AND so you can find it easily if you want. lol. Really awesome review, Lisa, as always!
I love your videos so much, Lisa! Great job as always
"Self healing BIOS"? Is that just a redundant copy in case the original gets corrupted during a upgrade?
Something alike without all that bezels?
Laptops with super thick bezel screen (especially the lower frame) look a little nostalgic these days but Lisa Gade is kind enough not to mention (love Lisa, the Donald would tweet it out)
I think adding a gaming section to your reviews, could bring a lot of views.
You can simply show multiple footages of modern games and their FPS.
Trackpoint is a nice try, but really needs the middle button as well for instant 2D scrolling like on a ThinkPad.
Thanks for reviewing this class of laptop!
Should you review the Lenovo 43s I hope you’ll compare this laptop with it. I would be very interested in seeing how the AMD gpu compares to the Quadro pP520 in the Lenovo.
Just a heads up, those 2 slots on the bottom are for the docking station.
Thanks!
Great videos, thank you. Would you recommend this laptop for an ammeter youtuber? I use an HP zbook in my fulltime job and already have the docking station so wanted to stay within the model.
Hi Lisa, I bought a year and a half ago the zbook 14u G5 with the i7-8550U for my personal use and the cooling is not great at all and the chassis is the same. as G6. Repasting the thing only got better by a very little margin, if any. Maybe new Intel's U generation CPUs are cooler than last year's, or did you get an i5 sample that probably doesn't heat much. I've got a work laptop with the i5-8300U from last year and it doesn't as i7 version.
Almost! This is everything I need in a laptop, except an SD card reader. Why is that always missing these days? Are there no photographers in the world that want this? I don't get it.
What’s the Acer counterpart of this? Which is cheaper?
very nice review. I was curious, is this a "dreamcolor" display? if not, what is the difference?
Add pen input (e. g. wacom panel integrated in the touchpad) and it might be perfect. Is there a 2in1 model?
HP Z-books. The best laptops I've had the pleasure to use. Thank gawd the company paid for it.. cost a bomb the way it was spec'd.
Hi mobile tech reviews. I love your content. Can you recommend me your #1 top choice for a 13-14 inch laptop that's great for photo and video editing? Thanks so much.
A couple of quick questions that I don't think were answered in your video. I know you mentioned the 1 m.2 ssd, but is there any option at all to add a second drive? I am assuming if there was you would have mentioned it, but just hoping for a definitive answer. Also what are your thoughts on pairing something like this with an egpu and do you know how many pcie lanes it has? I have the oppurtunity to get this laptop with the i5, intel graphics, 1080p screen for about $1k new but hoping to add another drive and use an egpu. Thanks!
Does the fingerprint sensor work in Linux? They all seem to keep dropping the ball on this.
I have a G5 from work for software development , I'm pretty surprised by this machine , pretty good - i7 , 32 gb , 500 mb m.2
That's exactly my computer, but it gets pretty hot and throttles heavily under long stressing periods (I use it for Chess engines and VMs). Appart from the heating/throtlting problem, the battery is not very good, but I'm fine with that. The rest is pretty good.
Really good keep uploading all this good work and of course keep me posted
Hi! Did you heard eluktronics mag 15, Dave review it several days ago. I just can’t believe the thermal performance part, so it would be great if you could review it and get get a more solid review than Dave’s.
what can you do with these laptops that don't have extra storage space, whether we're talking hdd or ssd? you must always have extra storage space with you and I think it can be difficult to understand the option of hp engineers when designing these laptops.
This design and bezels are unacceptable!
No 4K option on HP's website 🤔. Impressive amount of configuartion options for this laptop class. Not sure how I feel about the bezel. Slimmer than my current Acer laptop, but I was hoping to transition to a modern design. 😂
Removable ram? Already better than x390! Sad thing there is lack of middle button so trackpoint wont be as good. This and 3:2 screen would make it my next buy.
Always great reviews....but here is my rant...what is it with the preoccupation with thinness? Like phones, they are becoming thin simply to be thin, not to add to their value or practicality. And like with phones, if they added a few mm of thickness and added a few more of the adapters they deleted and dedicated the rest of the added volume to a battery, all would benefit. And for those who simply cannot manage the difference in weight between a 12 oz and 16oz drink, well, to use the vernacular, it sucks to be you. ;-)
It hasn't got a microSDcard slot. Why do you say it has?
this laptop allows the installation of a 2.5 inch hdd.? thx!
always a pleasure too see my nerdy auntie
Does the 600 nits display help with working outside?
would love 2 in one with this would-be killer.
These are our standard laptops at work.
very good explaination
Can you review the ZBook 17 G6 or the 15 G6? The 17 G6 has a 4K 10-bit screen that covers Adobe RGB and full DCI P3.
I cannot make mine work using the touch pad under windows 10, touchpad only works at the BIOS config level, is it just me or some else is having the same issue? little info about it from HP.
Great review..
Would you review gigabyte aero 15 classic 2019?
squarespace sponsor comes too late...already setup my website 😢
how many price?
Cheers for review. Thinking of buying bigger display model 15.6 inch. Model: 6TP59EA. Anything else I should consider? many thanks.
How would you say this compares to the HP Envy. I know that seems an odd comparison but they have the same cpu and at the moment for a similar configuration they are about the same price (UK). I love that this has upgradable ram but I like the slim more portable envy. Mostly for music/audio production so not too fussed by graphics. I am starting to be won over by a touch screen now!
Specs are very good but exterior design is not enough.. In my opinion 2015 HP Omen Pro 15 better looking than HP Zbook Series these days
Does anyone know what mic Lisa is using?
It looked really interesting, until we came to the CPU, not what I look for in a Mobile Workstation..... I really want to do some work on it, not just day to day stuff.
According to the openCL score, this gpu has a bit lower performance (about 10%) than my 860m from 2014. Hmm.
Otherwise, it looks good.
what kind of lenovo laptop is this
What do you say about new business Acer Travelmate p614? In the highest config? 👌👌 Really light, good power, nice price.💵
Can you do a smack down on the dell insipiron black edition and the x1 yoga 4th gen?
the bezel look so bad
I LOVE me some ports !
The new X1 Carbon wins in every category compared to this, hands down.
For some reason i dont like HP laptops and never will. Just something about them i cant put my finger on.
Interesting and impressive but my i7 8600h powered Latitude 5491 whops it in the cpu department. That 8th gen 6 core is kicking. What's not is the Nvidia MX130 ddr5 graphics. But still I love this footprint, so getting that much hardware in that small of a device is nothing sort of impressive. Not even the XPS hits this mark, especially in ports. I do like it. It's certainly in my realm. You can even upgrade the memory. Something that is oddly and foolishly becoming rare. Beautiful too, but I would stick to 1080p. Anything else for most people is a waste. Looks nice of course. but kills battery life.
Those product names....
Can I be used for coding
Yes
сколько ей лет? вот просто интересно
Disposable Laptops = HP
Good Job

This laptop is boring.
BUT
the build quality is unusually good.
there is no screen flex or screen wobble.
there is no keyboard flex.
I mean NONE.
The build quality on this is better than my macbook pro 16.
best build quality i've seen in years.
Asus Zenbook 14 smashes this all day everyday, HP laptops have the worst battery life/optimization ever, and I should know, I'm a sys admin with a fleet of HP endpoints.. But they're very IT pro friendly with class leading IT security features
Hi Lisa Gade, I highly value your in-depth reviews on electronic gadgets and would like you to kindly do an "HP Elite X2 1013 G3 Review" and inbox me the link, but if you have, kindly forward me the link. Thanks.
"Nice metal cover" [plasticky sound]
Even this 14 in laptop got ram slots''; unlike the new alienware m15 😂😂😂
man fingerprintsensor looks ugly
keyboard looks ugly since it has diffrent key color than the body
and the hinge is ugly.. hope they change that
Starting at around 1400$, seems like a very poor value for the money, compared to a Surface Laptop 2 (which starts at around $800 with similar or even better specifications, certainly better keyboard and screen).
Yeah, but when you consider that this is NOT a 2-in-1 AND you can actually upgrade/repair this instead of having a physically destroyed comp with lost data... What's the real poor value?
@@7Write4This9Heart7I was about to comment the same thing.
@@7Write4This9Heart7 The Surface Laptop 2 is not a 2-in-1 either, though I'll admit that it is harder to repair than the HP. Not sure that's worth $600 for most people.
This thing actually has usable ports and a dedicated GPU unlike the surface laptop. Also most people aren't buying Mobile worksations. I have the previous one of these for work and it's fantastic for Revit and programming
@@Scruffed the Surface Laptop cannot be repaired.
The design is soo bored and old 😣
no way micro sd card. no thanks HP.
who this laptop for the rich i can,t afford $1,200 bucks that a lot of money but some people have more money the brains and don,t see the value of money but that how people is now days.
I bought a used 2015 ZBook 14 G2 for $100 and I’m not exactly a rich person! High end stuff is quite affordable if you wait several years to buy it.
This is almost identical to the Elitebook 840 G5 in terms of looks at least. I'm using that as my company daily driver and I have to say it's veeeery far from a Thinkpad. The build quality is OK-ish, the keyboard is outright horrible, the overall performance is pretty weak (with 16GB RAM and i7-8550U), the screen is a very reflexive matte display that's difficult to see even in office conditions most of the time. The trackpoint is not usable at all and the cutouts on the keyboard make typing an even worse experience.
I'd ditch the whole concept and go with a Thinkpad anytime.
Interesting, HP cloning Lenovo Hardware !!
thin is never at good performance.
A 16:9 screen on a laptop is stupid.
