Pros and Cons

HP ZBook Fury 16 G9

Strengths

The i7 12800 HX is a CPU Beast married to faster ddr5 memory and pcie Gen 4 x 4 m.2 ssds
The poor webcam in the past has finally been upgraded to a decent 5 megapixel version
The keyboard is still excellent to type on and the larger glass touchpad you can argue is preferable to a clickpoint nib
A wealth of ports you can always guarantee a few we will not be short of i o ports two Thunderbolt 4S two USB type A's DisplayPort HDMI SD and SC card readers plus a gigabyte ethernet port
The CS Vapor chamber the calling of thermal management does a great job of keeping the otherwise hot components at Bay
Slimmed down from the G8 in weight bezels and curves however it's still a big boy to carry around with you one for keeping at your work desk and carrying another Ultra portable for client meetings
The ridiculous levels of sodium and m.2 Slots four sodium slots for up to 128 gigabytes memory and four m.2 slots for maximum 12 terabyte storage

Weaknesses

Battery life was never going to be a strong point of the fury G9 In fairness it is sold as a desktop replacement and not an ultra portable laptop
The larger Dimensions also Aid in keeping the airflow moving around chassis diet but still manages to squeeze more performance from the updated components without compromising on thermals number of ports available and upgrade options
There's a pretty price to pay but there's no doubt the zbook fury G9 is still King what do you guys think leave your comments and discuss below
The heavy and bulky 230 watt external AC power adapter downside it's heavy and bulky to carry plus side it charges the G9 quickly look at 90 minutes to fully charge it
There's healthy competition in the mobile workstation category what alternatives to the zedbox fury G9 in no particular order here's some to consider Lenovo ThinkPad p16 gen 1 Dell position 7670 MSI the ge67hx azus pro Art Studio Book Pro 16 OLED
The HP ZBook Fury 16 G9 starts from $1863 or £2269 pounds in the UK to over four thousand dollars before add-ons one for the corporate expense account to pay for
Battery consumption no surprise battery life was never going to be a strong point of the fury G9

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.
