Pros and Cons

HP ZBook Firefly 15 G7

Strengths

Lovely display - it's taken a long time to slowly introduce a display panel worth its price tag. This review model has an excellent screen with wide viewing angles, vivid colors, and the biggest plus: 400 nits of brightness.
Quiet operation - The Firefly 15 is silent most of the time thanks to the power-efficient i7 10-510u processor and thermal management.
Useful ports considering its lightweight dimensions - It has managed to cram some useful ports: two Thunderbolt three, USB Type-C ports, two USB Type-A ports, HDMI, a smart card reader, and even a slot for 4G LTE SIM.
Long battery life - The Firefly has a free cell 56 Whr battery giving around 10 hours video playback in general usage.
Good typing keyboard
Excellent security features including HP Client Security Manager Gen 6, HP Security Essentials to protect against malware attacks, and HP SureStart Gen 6 to detect stop and recover from a BIOS attack or corruption.
Powerful display with 400 nits brightness

Weaknesses

Not suitable for serious adobe programming or CAD-type work due to Intel i7-10 510u processor
Intel i7-10 510u processor is not the best choice, AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U or Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U would have been a better option.
Nvidia Quattro P520 GPU is not powerful enough for demanding tasks
No SD card reader, which may be a disadvantage for content creators
Not the most powerful mobile workstation, despite its compact size and long battery life.
HP missed the mark by choosing Intel i7-10 510u processor instead of AMD Ryzen
Price - The Firefly's price is not disclosed in the text, but it may be a bit high considering its capabilities

HP EliteBook 855 G7

Strengths

The ultra thin bezels make this unit shine
It really has a winner on its hands with the AMD Ryzen processor
This goes through a rigorous test, meeting MIL-810 spec, so you can rest knowing it's been designed to be reliable and go through tough conditions
The design is premium, with an all-aluminum chassis that doesn't pick up many fingerprints

HP ZBook Firefly 15 G7

The HP ZBook Firefly 15 G7 is a premium office power user laptop in disguise, rather than a mobile workstation for serious Adobe programming or CAD-type work. With its supremely well-built design and excellent battery life, it's hard to deny its appeal. However, the choice of a 10th gen Intel Core Comet Lake processor and an underwhelming NVIDIA Quadro P520 GPU may leave users wanting more oomph. Can this laptop truly deliver for those who need a powerful mobile workstation?

HP EliteBook 855 G7

The HP EliteBook 855 G7 is a notable departure from the usual business notebook offerings, with its sleek design and ultra-thin bezels making it a premium ultrabook contender. Powered by AMD Ryzen, this device boasts impressive performance and efficiency, backed by rigorous testing to ensure durability on-the-go. With features like Windows Hello, a fingerprint reader, and Bang & Olufsen speakers, the EliteBook 855 G7 is an attractive option for those seeking a reliable and feature-rich business notebook.
