Design and Screen
With a dimension of 38.15 x 25.7 x 3.05 cm, HP ZBook 15 is not the most portable laptop around. Although designated a mobile workstation, this machine does not look like one you want to be carrying around every so often, unless you are trying to build some muscles, considering its starting weight of 2.82 kg.
However, it still looks elegant for a business laptop. Brushed aluminium and magnesium feature conspicuously in the design of the HP ZBook 15, whose keyboard also sports full aluminium deck and special drain to keep liquid away from internal components.
The 15.6-inch display has a superb resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The HP DreamColor panel with RGB backlighting makes for an awesome screen by combining wide viewing angles with great colour reproduction.
Performance
HP ZBook 15 is designed to be a top performer judging from the way it is set out. It is equipped with a powerful, quad-core Intel Core i7 processor chip with vPro management technology – which means users are in for a very responsive performance. Dual-core Intel Core i5 and Core i7 procesors are provided in some configurations of the HP ZBook 15.
Multitasking is made a breeze with the provision of a generous 8GB or 16GB of RAM with support for up to 32GB of RAM. Workstation-grade graphics should be expected from this machine, considering the presence of NVIDIA Quatro discrete graphics processor with 2GB of VRAM – coupled with integrated Intel HD Graphics.
Highly demanding programs will most certainly run seamlessly on this workstation. HP ZBook 15 has Independent Software Vendor (ISV) certification, indicating its ability to handle a good number of demanding engineering programs.
Additional Details
HP ZBook 15 runs on Windows 7 Professional as a result of observed business users’ preference for the operating system, but there is an option for Windows 8 Pro. It comes with a 500GB, 7200rpm hard drive supported by 32GB of flash memory – a 750GB hard drive option is also available.
HP ZBook 15 has an optical, Blu-ray or DVD drive, though some models may not offer any optical storage.
