HP ZBook Firefly 14 G8

Strengths

The laptop has a premium feel, with a sturdy build that feels like it's made out of sheet metal.
It doesn't produce a lot of heat, even during intense usage, making it ideal for working on the go.
The battery life is decent, lasting all day with moderate to heavy use, and can be relied upon in emergency situations.
The performance is top-notch, handling business-grade applications like Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Office Suite without breaking a sweat.
The webcam is average but sufficient for a laptop webcam, making video calls and online meetings a breeze.

Weaknesses

The laptop feels a bit flimsy when trying to lift the lid off the surface, which can be a concern for some users.
The port selection is limited, with only a few USB-A ports, a couple of USB-C ports, a power port, and an HDMI port available.
It's on the pricier side, especially considering the specs, with a price tag around NZD $2200 (USD equivalent) for the base model.
The bezels are thin but not entirely minimal, which might be a drawback for some users who prefer a more modern look.
While the design is premium and modern, it's not particularly innovative or attention-grabbing, making it harder to stand out in a crowded market.
