Pros and Cons

HP ZBook Studio G10

Strengths

The sumptuous build remains extremely well built with a modern design solid single hinge and rigid chassis wrapped up in a thin and light case for a mobile workstation.
Powerful components, including a combination of the i7 13700 H ddr5 memory PCIe Gen 4 * 4 SSD and fast dedicated graphics, give the G10 excellent performance.
Amazing audio with quad speakers that keep their excellent quality up there with the best laptops for audio quality.
The vapor chamber cooling system, available on higher GPU models, does a very good job of keeping the CPU and GPU in check.
Fast charging capability with the 200 W external AC power adapter

Weaknesses

Pitiful battery life, not a surprise when you have powerful components combined to drain the life of the Fairly large 86w battery.
Expensive, prices start from $2,500 or $374 to $3,600 or $442 for the I9 RTX 480 GPU Flagship model.
Only one SSD slot, most laptops in this category have twin m.2 SSD slots but the G10 only has room for one, which is a shame as the secondary SSD would be handy for additional storage or caching.
Lack of flexibility with the configuration options, customization can go up to an eye-watering $5,000 or $696 for the I9 13900 H RTX 4000 GPU dream color 4 tbte 64 GB model
Disappointing battery life considering it's aimed as a lightweight mobile workstation

Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Gen 3

Strengths

Lenovo has fixed all of its flaws with the ThinkPad l13 Generation 3 making the laptop smaller and giving it a 16 by 10 display
The laptop has lost some weight slimming down to 1.25 kilograms, 140 grams less than the Gen 2 product
The keyboard is island with a fingerprint reader above it and a touch pad below it typing on it is comfortable mostly thanks to the clicky feedback
The display is surrounded by relatively thin bezels, has excellent viewing angles, a peak brightness of 338 nits, and a very high contrast ratio of 1910 to 1
The bottom firing speaker setup is surprisingly loud while all frequencies are free of deviations
The battery life is good, lasting for 8 hours and 20 minutes of web browsing or eight hours of video playback

Weaknesses

The keyboard has shorter key travel than usual but the spill resistance and backlight manage to sway us in its favor
The display covers only 56 percent of the sRGB color gamut, which might be a deal breaker for some people who need color accuracy
The ThinkPad l13 Gen 3 makes some sacrifices which might be a deal breaker for some people, however these people aren't the hardcore business audience
The upgradeability is poor with up to 32 gigabytes of solder DDR4 memory and only one small M.2 PCIe slot
The processor (Ryzen 5 Pro 5675u) is not the best performer and is outclassed by the HP Elitebook 640 G9's Core i5 1235u in both Cinebench and Photoshop tests
The laptop has zero PWM usage, but this might be a drawback for some users

HP ZBook Studio G10

The HP ZBook Studio G10 is a premium mobile workstation that boasts a sumptuous build, powerful components, and exceptional performance. Equipped with the i7 13700H processor, DDR5 memory, and PCIe Gen 4 SSD, this laptop delivers outstanding results in creative applications and gaming. The addition of dedicated graphics options, including the RTX 3000 AER and RTX 470 variants, further enhances its capabilities. However, its battery life is disappointing, and the high price tag may deter some buyers.

Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Gen 3

The Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Gen 3 has refined its build quality with the use of aluminum alloy for the lid and a combination of glass fibers and plastic for the base. This results in a more rigid lid, weighing 1.25 kg and measuring just 17.3 mm thick. The laptop boasts an island-style keyboard, fingerprint reader, and touchpad, making it suitable for business users. Its display features excellent viewing angles, a high contrast ratio, and zero PWM usage, although its color gamut falls short of expectations.
