Got my hubby an HP Envy 17t 173 for xmas. Core i7 7700 quad core (7th gen) processor, touch screen, 17" 1080p display, Nvidia graphics with 4 gigs hddr 5 , 16GB dual channel ram, 1080p webcam, Bang & Olafsen speakers, ports out the whazoo. It's a fast ripping beast. Doesn't have mil specs so wouldn't do as well if dropped but the specs are amazing and it was only $850 at Costco. HP has really stepped up their laptop game.
+TheEmbersFromAshes you are the MVP. Awesome gift.
Kevin The Tech Ninja aww well thank you.. He seems to be enjoying it but does find windows 10 to be rather a pita. Is used to Win 7.
Kevin The Tech Ninja touch the sky is not "classic". now if you would have said "hey mama" or "drive slow" I'd agree. but I see where you're coming from with the instrument theme.
TheEmbersFromAshes Hiya Embers, I was wondering if that was a discounted sales price and what it's model number is. By the way very nuce gift.
link?
It probably has a VGA port because a lot of projectors in boardrooms still have only VGA inputs.
yes it has a VGA port AND a HDMI port
(currently using the same laptop)
@@mr.nobody903 do you have zbook 17 g3? If you do can you tell me is worth it 16gb ram nvidia quadro m4000m i7-6280hq
got the zbook 17 p4000 and WOW - it's amazing - all the ports we as creators need - eats premiere cc for brunch 48gb ram xenon - can't really believe it's as good and fast as it is.
Hello my friend i looking t purchase one for graphic design do you think i can use my android tablet as drawing tablet with the laptop?
Why people used to say that USB-C is gonna be the future standard when the reality os that it is already standard
Compared to my Omen 15t-dc100, which goes “look at me” with it’s red and black design and glowing keyboard, my ZBook 15 looks more like a stealth fighter. Better than any MacBook Pro out there indeed.
Which ZBook even is this? 14u? 15u? 15 Studio? 15? 17? You miss out every single detail starting from the basics. Also those aren't just USB-C. Those are thunderbolt 3 ports.
Looks like a ZBook 15 G3 to me. You can see the Skylake CPU sticker at 1:17, and all ZBook 15s (up until the 3rd generation) have the same design.
it's the ZBook 15 G4, he left a link in the description
@@MajesticManabe It's not a G4 buddy lmao
How can I know which one is mine
You just saved me time. God bless you.
I bought a used one for 475$ in iraq
Its great , i play games , use UE4 , 3d modeling and use fl studio
and its so great
Deprassive Music This is the comment I was searching for 👍 I plan to use this with FL Studio..
Deprassive Music I have one of these reserved at Fry’s Electronics
Can it run a lot of big plugins and samples at once?
Is it worth to buy it now ?
All these port options 7 years ago? Wow
this laptop could compare to a gaming laptop it has a whole core i7 and 8 gigs and its upgradeable at the flick of a switch
Maybe it's me being strange, but IMO it's one of the prettiest laptops out there :)
I agree with you. It's metal too. Doesn't really overheat when I use it. Can do MATLAB, PSPICE, Altera Quartus, etc. I have the 14 inch G2 ZBook. Now, you can get that for $300-400 on eBay and add a 2nd SSD in the empty slot (SAMSUNG EVO 2.5" VNAND SSD).
m8, those type c ports look a lot like thunderbold ports (the little bold next to the ports)
2 x Thunderbolt 3 via USB Type-C
kk P or, get two amd xconnect compatible boxes and two matrox graphics card and get 18 extra hdmi(i belief it has them could also be displayport, not shure)
They are Thunderbolt 3 compatible USB-C ports, Thunderbolt Ports look much different, interesting though because Apple uses the same Thunderbolt system on their macbooks rather than the official Thunderbolt port.
Donovan Goodwin i believe this is the official thunderbold 3 connector, the thunderbold 2 connector was a mini display port connector. They just use existing connectors
Kars Noordhuis I see, its very unapple like to do that...
Nice work!
This one is a beauty. I just gifted it to myself for new years. Works to perfection.
HP ZBOOK 17 i7-2.8GHz 12GB RAM 500GB NVIDIA Quardo K1100M is it good for gaming?
No. Better go for at least a quadro k2100m. Or preferably a firepro m5100 or best, a quadro k2200m.
Without pointing device between G and H keys, is not a PRO enough for me. So I must agree.
I have a ZBook Studio G3, I'm selling it to get a Zbook G4, they are ugly, they are a powerhouse... For college and architecture? No better deal... I tried using gaming laptops, and I don't know... They just don't work well, I have my ZBook for 2 year and I am surprised how I never had any problems with it, I want to upgrade just to mainly get 4K screen but I'll get a Xeon and M2200
Now this is more like it!
I ordered the zBook 17 G4 for work. It froze repeatedly, and went back for repairs, but HP couldn't fix the problem and apparently didn't even bother to test their repairs, because it came back with the exact same problem as before, even though I had described the repro steps in detail. On top of that, the build quality is very lackluster. Squeaky casing, white noise from speakers during on bootup and a VERY noisy fan (from bearings or motor) just doesn't give you that sense of quality.
HP doesn't seem like a serious business. It's a shame, because I decided on HP because of my perception of a serious company with a long history. Expectations and perception of HP has been shattered by my experience.
I now have a Dell Alienware. It's a whole different league! MUCH better build quality, almost completely silent and even a comfortable low frequency noise when fans go full thrust. I highly recommend Alienware!
It doesn't check all the boxes.
How come people complain about newly bought pcs,I had my hp 620 back in 2010, still working,no issues AT ALL so far.Not even a broken button.But now im thinking about something designed well mbp - overpriced,hp x360 - I just need a regular laptop, not a tablet, dells,asus,lenovos are not considered. Any suggestions?
2:07 "Kingston locking port"? isn't that Kensington lock?
I have the HP zbook 17 G2. The battery is somewhat weak, so I have to leave it plugged in, but otherwise it's a good laptop.
I have a G2 with Dreamcolor and a G3 as well, both upgraded with a Quadro M2200.
@@js9522 is this good for mid end gaming??
WELL DONE ON THE RVIEW HOWEVER. Z BOOK IS ALLUMINUM MAGNESIUM ALLOY, NO PLASTIC
Awesome review Kevin
now this is my kind of laptop
too bad I can't afford it 😢
Gabriel Umoh Me too.
Go for Refurbished one
Why is the category "Autos & Vehicles" ?
Rishabh Patel
It's part of a TV show called,
'Pimp My PC.'
Rishabh Patel it’s a laptop for veheeaclez totally
because this laptop is a real MICHIIIINNEEE!!!!😂😂😂😂
At the same price you can get a refurbished custom workstation (like a Z800) with at least twice the power of this laptop. You sacrifice mobility, but get more power.
10 min rendering for a 4min simple file is way too long!
If you drop a 15min video heavily edited and color graded... it will probably render it in one hour witch is way to long for a 2000$ laptop.
Honest and very useful review of HP zbook ❤
you mean well, but the original premise is faulty; you say something akin to "the macbook pro lost ports, and I wonder what would I do in a few years..."... well in a few years, everything will be thunderbolt 3 so you could buy teh macbook pro no problem.
I don't get recommendations in games lol they recommend medium setting or high settings but I put the settings to max and I got a solid 120fps in most games lowest it ever dips to is 94
i just wish they will start upgrading the graphics card. The pascal cards seem to have better benchmarks than any quadro as at now. Wish they will just step up the quadro cards or maybe use the pascal cards on this productivity laptops
Thanks for the review - but you don't need to focus-in every single cut, that's time we could be actually looking at the machine
Classical music is way underrated these days.
Hey is this play able for apex legend?
From what i hear you say, it's not good. Don't like the look, don't like the screen (very important), battery life too. Thanks for the review
Nice review, at the end when the music is playing when you're talking I can't make out what you're saying, maybe turn the music down just a bit
would the 'poor' viewing angles be due to 'no peeking' technology?
Pretty impressive to see VGA, but also unfortunate that there's no DisplayPort. Regardless, it blows the MacBook out of the water. The build quality concerns me though, it looks cheap to me. Have you taken a look at the Dell Precision (Mobile Workstation)? Great review!
Not sure why this video and the entire comments section here is forgetting the part where the thunderbolt 3 protocol includes displayport 1.2 w/ MST and if you don't have a thunderbolt input on your display, a $15 adapter will suffice.
Have one in work.
Amazing computers.
Selling the old Thunderbolt 3 ports a little short there.
is 14" laptop good for AUTOCAD?
I'm selling my desktop coz I'm moving overseas. I'm a 3D animator, what is would be the best kind of laptop for 3D programs like Maya or even aftereffects? Please help
I’m getting a hp zbook today 😍
Get it , i got one and its amazing
How is it running so far?
I have the new Sager 8157 with the top of the line 7820Hk and GTX 1070. It will eat up and spit out this so called beast.
Very helpful, thank you bro
I also have a hp laptop(not this one). It was only €500. very cheap for the quality. Its good for school things, but not for games.
Nice review! I will like to know how i can optimize this PC for better performance while working with software like Adobe After Effects, the playback time hang and slow processing. Also, when clicking the text tool on all Adobe creative suites, it takes longer time to load?
What's wrong with Hamilton?
The real Hamilton was a bad guy. Nobody liked him and he tried to make Washington a King.
Nice review! :) I liked it!
definitely not my type of laptop
the design is horrible and i rather get dell gaming laptop
MrOnlyforcommenting This isn't meant for regular consumers.. it's meant for business/creative professionals.
Ziich This laptop doesn't check all the boxes for me, for example no touchscreen.
I don't understand why pips like touchscreen on laptops
this laptop isn't even meant for you, its a lot more expensive and meant for businesses.
bro HP laptops are awesome! 😁👍
Is the material durable? it reminds me of Dell laptops and their quality is terrible.
I have a G2 and its made of aluminum (except for the inner side of the screen). The quality is so much better than I expected and is definitetly durable.
I might be getting one of these with 32gb of ram for $50 I’m crossing my fingers.
Greg review however please try not to use the word it when you have just made a comparison of two items I'm not sure which it you're talking about
But... but...... it's not pretty. =/
Also I usually have the same reaction to VGA, but a lot of professionals still use them for projectors, etc.
+Austin Nwachukwu nope. It sure ain't.
Love ur intro!
Uhhh, it should support display port over thunderbolt 3
do know of any teardowns of this machine cause that is how I rate whether a machine is worth buying. Is it easy to repair myself not so much the galamour.
I don't see how this computer is ugly. Looks pretty normal for me.
What happened at the end of the video?
Great review video Kevin.
You can land a plane on that bezel
Great review.
can this play triple A games at 60fps?
i dont like hp design or the reliability. I have had 3 hp laptops all of them broke physically in under 3 years
I have this laptop with quadro m2000m. It runs nice, but the gpu throttled down when running on battery. Did this happen to you?
I just got the hp zbook 15u g5 and the amd wx 3100 gpu that it has seems to be broken. I have tested all drivers that i can find but it just lags on all my programs. I cannot really edit any videos on it because the playback doesnt even play at all.
I dont really know what to do with it.
Only thing wrong with it.............
It's ugly af 😓😭
But it's crazy quick.
cuitlahuac fernandez Bu-But its not that ugly.
there is a beauty in it. look at thinkpads, thinkpad from late 90' looks almost like thinkpads today, if you had thinkpad back then, then you feel like at home with new thinkpad. HP is going for the same effect.
We got tons of new zBook G3 15s at work but they suck balls tbh, one out of five dies out of the box because of some BIOS error.
Update: we got new models coming in now, and I decided to give it a try again. This one has a better Xeon CPU, and ECC RAM. I think they also updated the BIOS firmware, because these are totally stable, unlike the older ones with i7. I am now using one daily, and I am quite happy with it.
Redstone Creepers What exactly are you talking about?
Macbook Pro is still faster in FCPX when it comes to video export.
true but pros don't use fcpx
is g3 or G4 ?
What do you think about the HP Omen?
Other than the quadro gpu, which personally I don't think is worth it, the only thing this this has going for it is the durable build quality.
Yeah, Compaq from beyond grave still owning apple devices.
Hi Kevin the Tech Ninja, can you suggest me wich is the best laptop for video editing and multimedia. I want it for professional usage. important thing for me is also the lifespan of the laptop and the battery. Thank you. :)
can you hackintosh this laptop?
Having bad viewing angles means that it is most likely TN. I don't understand how that's remotely close to PRO when i need at least IPS for Editing and Graphics. I'm sorry, but this is a laptop for the guy who doesn't care about image but just wants versatility and freedom. The TN panel looks attrocious and anyone working with Graphics will tell you that TN is a nightmare for Colour reproduction ( yes, Colour, not Color ).
The display is excellent the one I have uses HP Dreamcolour displays- developed by Dreamworks animation. I have a G4 and its colour accurate with a wide gamat. I use it for vfx work so do most people at MPC / ILM
Is this laptop good for gaming
0:39 is that real town? where is it? Beautiful
u found 1 that is 400 bux
I am so excited to get this baby in my hands, just bought one and it's certainly going to be an upgrade from my shitty little acer. *no offence i love her, but it's time for her retirement*
kevin ! is this laptop is good for gaming purpose ???
What about the screen brightness? MBP 2016 claim 500 nits...
Great video! What's the difference between Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro? Is one program easier to get into and use then the other?
dave4shmups it is based on personal preference, both are fairly easy to get used to although I would say that finalcut pro is slightly easier cos of the UI.
Which is better gtx 1050 or this graphics card
Specs?
those bezels!!!
Kensington?
does it support official win11?
MY LAPTOP ALSO HP ZBOOK G1 15 BUT MY GAMES IS OVER HANGING BUT WHY.PLZ TELL ME SOME THING
is good for LEAGUE OF LEGENDS?
Great vid. Kensington* lock.
Can it run Minecraft PLZ RESPOND SOMBODY IM LITERALLY DESPERATE
Dude it runs titanfall 2 so ofc it will run minecraft even on high settings
Your reviews is everything but "pro". No data to back your claims. what is the exact brightness, delta e, black level, contrast? Just your using experience and feelings are far from enough. Also, for video editing, final cut pro on 15'' MBP will beats this poor pc running adobe premier. Hardware isn't everything.
To people who dont truly know anything about gaming computers, avoid anything built from HP, Dell and alienware when it comes to gaming. They offer their products at low cost cause of the cheap materials they use and how quickly they break down just after a few months or even weeks. Acer, Asus and Razor are your top choices for gaming.
Reggaetonaldo Can confirm. My damn Dell Inspiron started giving me issues not even a full 2 months after I bought it. Laptop constantly turns off on its own with certain key presses or even plugging/unplugging the power cable, and even the power button randomly snapped on me such that it no longer clicks.
The performance itself is nice in my opinion but holy hell did they cheap out on certain aspects of the hardware.
Depends on the model. Some are cheap and run too hot. Some are just fine and are good value. Do your homework and HP and Dell will work.
Acer has terrible build quality though. During the time I had my last HP laptop, a friend of mine went through 3 Acer and Asus laptops.
People who go off about consumer grade gaming laptops on a video about a professional grade HP workstation with a potential MSRP of over $7200. Yeah. Sure. Whatever you say bud.
Can I buy this in 2021 end?
no other name beside 'book'
Is it better then Xps 15??it's good for all adobe cloud cc?
i have one z book 15... 16go of ram and 1to sata i7 4800 and nvidia k2100m and 2580*1600 resolution
but windows 7 pro and i have 2 questions
can i download windows 10 on it
and can i play games on it
please answer me
It's called a Kensington lock, not a Kingston locking port :)
