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 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?

Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3

The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 is an all-in-one Chromebook that blends the lines between laptop and tablet. While not considered a full-fledged PC, this device offers some capabilities that inch closer to that mark at an affordable price. With a keyboard, kickstand, and stylus holder, it's designed for productivity on-the-go, but its battery life falls short at around 6 hours. This review explores whether the Duet 3 can deliver on its promise of being a versatile, everyday device.
