We do watch HP content! Need reviews of every product annually.

1:15 Because of the higher range of motion, if someone or something for instance trips over the laptop, it'll prevent the hinge from breaking in most cases. This design feature saved me from having a bad at multiple occasions when I would accidentally dropped my laptop(s); and there goes the completely intact screen almost parallel to the floor. Perhaps some minor dents/nicks or scuff marks on the chasis, but that's an insignificant price to pay....

[@kyfeam]

i get wanting to make these machines smaller and thinner.. but to be honest i'd rather use the bigger version just for the better thermals..

[@umerarif7065]

THanks bro

[@GreenGreenStore]

You're welcome. 🙂

[@mohammadgouda2851]

Thanks for your review, I really enjoyed it since no one reviewed the g7 fury (in English) yet. If you have the same specs in g6 & g7 which one you will choose based on your use for both?

[@GreenGreenStore]

Thanks for your warm comment.
Personally, in Covid, the G6. Better price, more easily swapped screen, less need to travel. After the Covid probably the G7 as it's lighter.

[@mohammadgouda2851]

@@GreenGreenStore Thanks for your help and Regarding performance in both laptops?

Hi, great rev. ideal config ?Fury G7 17: i7 10750K + RTX4000 + 2x16 GB-Ram ? better than thinkpad p17 due its thermal troubles or Dell 7750 ? thank you

[@GreenGreenStore]

That spec looks good. 🙂👍
At this level it's partly down to the personal preference. Dell has Precision optimiser which some likes (plus the tried and tested design), Lenovo has reasonable cooling and an app that fetches the updates better (Lenovo vantage); the HP is thinner and lighter + still performant.

[@imbujo]

@@GreenGreenStore Hp has more upgrade options than dell/lenovo, that should be useful...for intensive video editing works in your opinion is better to change for a desktop setup ? tks

[@GreenGreenStore]

These models generally do quite well performance wise as far as laptops go. Desktop could yield more additional performance, though less easy to carry. 🙂

[@a-tech513]

Please help me to find a place to buy the ZBook Fury 17 I'm from Bahrain because I couldn't find a place where this type is available
Thank you all

[@GreenGreenStore]

Best check the local vendors.

[@cenkaetaya]

I really wish they could keep the size the same and instead extend the screen to be 18+ inches.

[@YeOldeKamikaze]

This. A return to 16:10 aspect ratio would be appreciated.

[@GreenGreenStore]

Generally the > 17.3 " can be seen as a niche (and contrary to the thinner and lighter trendz which makes it less likely to happen). HP may say "get an external monitor".
Like what you've mentioned though - I'm curious what the G8 generation might look like though e.g. same chassis (reuse the G7 chassis) or do something more forward (e.g. 16.10).

[@JAYEKAZE]

that is next gen. they cant give it to you all at once or they will run out of ideas for the future

[@IonorRea]

Alienware m18 is among the closest things you can get now if you want a powerful yet somehow portable 18"...

[@mostafa0qgmail917]

what is the best Create G7 , the Fury G7 and power G7

[@GreenGreenStore]

Depends on the workload. Fury and Create are higher end. Made for consumer (geforce on the Create) workload, and prosumer uses (quadro on the Fury) respectively. HP Power is less as high end.

[@MrMightyBeans]

I'm using the G7 Fury i7,64GB,4TB SSD, Quadro 3000,Windows 10 Pro. It's a fast machine but it's a heat producer.

[@GreenGreenStore]

Very nice machine you have!

[@utzlawyer5267]

why fury?

[@GreenGreenStore]

Best ask HP marketing.

[@littleman4810]

Could this play gta V

[@GreenGreenStore]

Less of a gaming laptop, but should still cope with some games.
