HP ZBook Studio 16 G11 workstation review: Light with performance done right

[Redaktion]

One of HP's lightest 16-inch workstations gets new processor options for noticeably faster performance than before. Otherwise, this is visually the same design as the ZBook Studio 16 G9 or G10 for an essentially identical user experience.

What is the reason for such a short battery life and high idle power consumption? The Core Ultra processor is quite power-efficient and it has a large battery capacity, so there is something strange here. Does it use the dedicated graphics card all the time?

this does not appear to be a very good review as, even with just a quick read, it has a number of inaccuracies and/or incomplete analysis... perhaps it is still being finished..? as: (1) there is hardly any commentary about why the battery runtime is unusually short... (2) the "No OLED options" comment is totally inaccurate as there is an OLED option that I've seen in person and its amazing! (as per HP's Quickspecs - 16" WQUXGA (3840x2400) DCI-P3 100 400 nit Touchscreen OLED) (3) "Lack of privacy shutter" there actually is a privacy shutter via a specific camera privacy key on the keyboard

Typical, an excessive CPU for the available cooling and a screen with limited brightness for the price  makes this is an unacceptable product.

And to think......we're going to see laptops like this all throughout this coming year starting a mere 2-3 months from now sporting AMD APUs with integrated graphics 20% faster than the RTX 3000 Ada Mobile we have here, iGPUs that can access double or even quadruple (16GB-32GB) the amount of system LPDDR5X-7500/8533 "VRAM" (hopefully upgradable via LCAMM2), and up to 10-15% larger batteries.

All these improvements in "super ultrabooks" that will weigh between 1.6-1.9 kilos or 3.5-4.2 pounds

Essentially building and improving on what are already impressive packages like the Schenker Vision 16 Pro M23, the Honor MagicBook Pro 16 2024, the Asus VivoBook Pro 16 K6602V, and the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen7
