Dell's XPS 15 receives a lot of attention that other manufacturers would like to receive as well. Naturally, HP would also like to compete with Dell's premium laptop. So HP has introduced a device that aims to impress with a unibody case, business features, and powerful components in the market. Find out in our extensive review, whether the new EliteBook 1050 G1 succeeds in this.

Another day, another thermal throttled laptop. What a bad joke. These heatsinks are cosmetic at best.

Thank you for another excellent review as usual.

With these specs, I would buy it for maybe a starting price of $1,000. BUT,

-$100 for zero business features including trackpoint, 180 hinge, gigabit ethernet, WWAN, etc on a "business laptop".
-$100 for the worst cooling system design effectively preventing me from using the laptop on my lap or anywhere on my body or with a mouse.
-$100 for abominable keyboard layout.
-$100 for dreadful sustained performance and throttling.
-$100 for high-pitched speakers, coil whine and fan noise. and
-$100 for... being HP - Horrifying Products.

Which comes down to... $400.

Now that is a tough one. I'll have to think about it.

Where is the second M.2 NVMe slot? Also, is the Wi-Fi card soldered or replaceable? Sorry but the picture is hard to make out.
