    I've been looking at this for a few days, but haven't pulled the trigger as the reviews say the fans are just on all the time.

    • elemindreda on 22/05/2023 - 20:38

      would wait till eofy sales.

      Intel NUC M15 has been an excellent budget option for me.

        Intel NUC M15 is a good budget option, but doesn’t meet my needs.

        My replacement cycle is aimed at 8-10 years. This is the way.

        In order to do that it needs to meet MIL-spec.

        Quality is a bit below average though. Bought one and screen had dead lines. I guess number of defect is still higher than average due to its relatively new manufacturing line.

          250 nits…. I dont use outdoor but i like a nice screen with good colour array

        Hi. can you tell me how this is to use in bed? I want to know if it is too big, too heavy or if it get's hot because the vents are being blocked. etc. Thank you.

    • Sean8802 on 22/05/2023 - 22:16

      They are on a fair bit whilst off ac, if you have it on your desk most of the time and it is on AC you can enable "Fan always on when on AC" in BIOS. It basically makes the fans run at low rpm all the time which is not auditable. The fans come on less loudly and frequently with this option enabled. Again this option is only useful if you're on AC most of the time.

    250 nits screen for $1291? They're dreamin'.

      I guess there's the catch.

    I hate companies (albeit its basically of them and not just HP), use nomenclature like WUXGA interchangebly with the FHD, QHD and UHD stuff thats much easier to understand.

    I will call this screen FHD+ and you cant change my mind. Heck if its bigger than 16:9 vertically its a + suffix and if its bigger in the horizontal space use the prefix of W or UW if its bigger than 21:9. So simple and wont confuse consumers. If they want to showcase how much 'extra' pixels we get just gives us the ppi, oh wait they dont want to because its basically 1080p and nothing better.

    • incipient on 22/05/2023 - 22:01

      I mean, because they ARE interchangeable? WUXGA is the exact same resolution as FHD+? They're just different families.

      • Brrrrt on 22/05/2023 - 23:09

        they are interchangeble, but the XGA naming scheme is unessary complicated, and brands should just stick to one naming scheme and call it a day

    • erasimos on 22/05/2023 - 23:12

      Hd 1280 X 720 x4. Qhd

      The ga nom has existed since the first PC

        it existed long ago doesnt mean its still a good naming scheme, its confusing and pc manufacturers should just stick to one scheme.

        as it stands its more complicated that USB naming scheme ever was and i dont know how you guys see its okay

        • erasimos on 23/05/2023 - 08:35

          16:9 is a terrible size for a notebook. Thankfully now manufacturers are offering alternatives again.

    I have this exact model as my work PC and I definitely noticed the fan noise, its because they put a P series CPU option in it instead of only a U series, am hoping I can swap it over soon for one of the U series variants. Spent a while trying to throttle the fan using some fan control software but this model wasn't supported yet.

    Would be fine in an office if you don't care about constant low amount of background noise, but if you are really picky about having a silent laptop maybe avoid it and look for something with a U series CPU. I had the previous series zbook firefly before this one and it was much quieter. This CPU is quick though.

    It's no Lenovo X1 carbon, but the zbook is still good value at this price, i think this is one rung under HP's top of the line studios, certainly high end build quality, its thin-ish and light-ish but I wouldn't call it ultralight, you can feel the weight in these things when you grab it but for $1300 its leagues ahead of most $1k ish laptops.

      Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

      I ended up pulling the trigger on the HP Dragonfly G3. Price was $1,600 so only a bit more of a stretch, and it weighs less than 1kg.

      • mariom on 22/05/2023 - 21:28

        Can you please share the link for that laptop?

        • aidin on 22/05/2023 - 21:29

          I was looking for G3 and didn't find it for $1600

        • Sean8802 on 22/05/2023 - 22:17

          No way he got a G3 for 1600

            @Sean8802: Not sure why people are negging me. This is OzBargain and it is about getting a good deal.

            It is definitely Dragonfly G3, 16GB, but with a i5 processor.

            Hint: HP business laptops come with international 1 year warranty - why look at websites with AU tax?

              Because you didn't post the link, and you still haven't posted the link 🤷🏼‍♂️

              If you've got a source of G3s for $1600 then let's hear it.

            • Sean8802 on 24/05/2023 - 12:19

              @Caring: G3 comes with a 3 year international warranty, source I am a HP employee. Only our Probooks and consumer laptops have 1 year warranty

      Screw the U series. I love high performance low power but I managed to decimate the U series across multiple machines (surface and HP)

      Thank god this is the P and not the U. it doesn't cut it for real work

          When you push the machine, the U series will collapse. 95% of our users won't stress a U series at work but the technical ones (which I'd expect on OzB) absoloutely can.

          I brought 2 of them utterly to their knees WITH an external fan aimed at them.

          https://i.imgur.com/YJ2Gw0F.png

          That's WITH A FAN pointed at the machine, CPU / GPU couldn't keep up with some work and throttled itself silly.

  • hamwhisperer on 22/05/2023 - 23:12

    Only tested briefly but HP gave me a demo one of these to test for work and it seemed pretty great

  • BeoWulf on 22/05/2023 - 23:58

    • Kafkaesque on 23/05/2023 - 01:15

      screen seems really dark at 250nits for this one?

      Product incapable of even 2 external monitors, or a HP?

      Easy one really.

    it's just 100 dollars less, not compelling - also 250 nits plus no lit keyboard and the list goes on.
