Pros and Cons

HP Zbook Power G9

Strengths

great component combo... Everything feels fast and smooth with most applications thrown at it
excellent display... screen on this model is bright, crisp and has complete coverage of the sRGB color space making it a joy to view and work all day with it
upgrade options... excellent upgrade options including dual SO-DIMM slots up to 64GB, dual SSD slots for large storage requirements and a removable 83 Wh battery
great performance from fast components... tank-like build quality

Weaknesses

no SD card reader... frustrating for photographer or video content creator
only one Thunderbolt 4 port
speakers and webcam are passable but nothing special
uses old-fashioned 16x9 display while its siblings and competition have moved over to 16 by 10 16 inch displays

HP ProBook 445 G11

Strengths

The laptop weighs less than 1.5 kg, making it easy to carry around in a bag without feeling heavy or uncomfortable.
The keyboard is spacious, has nice key travel, and even has a mute button for the system audio and microphone.
The silver color with classic HP branding looks minimal and professional. The hinge is sturdy, and there's minimal wobble when using it on a lap or desk.
The laptop has most necessary ports, including HDMI, USB 3, Type-C Thunderbolt, Ethernet, and headphone jack.
Our Ryzen 7 variant delivered decent scores in benchmarks like Cinebench R23 (9,100) and Geek Ben 6 (6,781).
We got around 8-9 hours of battery life with 70% brightness doing normal tasks.

Weaknesses

The 14-inch 1080p display could have better brightness and color reproduction. It's also prone to smudges and fingerprint marks.
The speakers at the bottom lack bass, and sound is muffled when placed on a couch or sofa.
While watching videos or listening to music, we found the laptop lacking in terms of display quality and speaker performance.
As expected, this isn't a gaming laptop, but it's also not optimized for gaming. Don't try gaming on it if you're a serious gamer.
The price might be steep, with the Ryzen 5 variant starting from around ₹60,000.
The display is not ideal for media consumption, with lackluster brightness and color reproduction.
