Pros and Cons

HP ZBook Firefly 16 G11

Strengths

The HP ZBook Firefly 16 G11 has good performance with the Intel i5-135h CPU and the Intel Arc RTX A500 combo, making it suitable for productivity 2D and light 3D workloads.
It has a large and sturdy chassis with plenty of hard drive display options to meet various needs.
The keyboard is excellent with tactile spaced out keys perfect for rapid touch typing and the glass touchpad is smooth and ideal for long periods.
The laptop has good upgradability and IO options, including two fast Thunderbolt ports, two USB type-A ports, and an HDMI port.

Weaknesses

The HP ZBook Firefly 16 G11 is a big and bulky laptop compared to its 14-in siblings due to the larger screen and additional keypad.
It uses slower USB type-A ports instead of faster USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, which is a drawback in an expensive mobile workstation.
The base model starts at $1,380 or $1,757, overlapping into its cousins the HP ZBook Power G11 and the EliteBook 860 G11 with similar pricing and specs, making it harder to choose between them.
It's not ideal for users who need dedicated graphics options, as the RTX A500 is limited by low 4 GB gddr6 memory, and its performance was worse in our benchmarks compared to the integrated Intel Arc 8 core GPU.
