Thanks for the review. Nicely done!
Hi, it's never mentioned in your video (that I heard), but is that an optical drive on the side there? (11.24mins in).
Thank you for the review! Could you please tell me, or do a video about the cpu full load temps and speeds, and about the fan noise, how loud is it in full load. Maybe CPU + GPU at max at the same time, and separate? Thank you for your time!
man i just love ur videos .... they are really unique ....keep on going....and i have questions i am a cad designer i usually work with solidworks nx and ansys ...i dont do that much rendering....do you think a gaming laptop with 1060ti or 1660ti wilp suffice the needs for 3d modelling and analysis???
How do you know if your model has DreamColor? I purchased the 6TV06EA@ version of the Zbook 17 G6 which the website advertised as HAVING dreamcolour but the cpl sheet used by their salesmen suggests it does NOT have dreamcolor as the feature is not listed in the same way as the cpl sheet for units that are know to have dreamcolor. Can anyone please help? I might guess that a dark spot at the top rh corner of the touchpad exists, then is this used for claibrating Dreamcolor? If so the prsence of this dark spot on the top rh corner might indicate that the unit niquestion does have DreamColor.
Hi VFX, I ordered two of this workstations, one at a HPdealer and one at the HP store. Love the rock solid build of these machines and the extreme ease of upgrading memory and storage. The fans, even when the machine is working at 98% GPU capacity under unigen hardware test, are super silent and blowing air in the lower frequency of the audio band, telling me this baby will keep on running at moderate to low temperatures, awesome!
However, i had bad luck with both of these machines:
The first one had a loose screw in the battery compartiment and heavy distortion in the speakers, warning me there could be more surprises ahead. The backlight bleeding of the display (this machine is equipped with the standard 1080p 300 nits screen) wat heavily, although not noticebly when running on windows.
The greatest party pooper was the annoying coil whine, overpowering even the fan noise.
This machine went back to the dealer and HP was so kind making a speedy D.O.A. procedure for me so no worries here.
The second machine had an even worse backlight bleeding and a plastic strip on the upper part of the display that didn’t fit well on the display surroundings. Result: a sharp razor at your finger tips when opening the lid. Regretfully the annoying coil whine was present too on this model. Happily I could start a return procedure here and coming monday this unit will be picked up, leaving me behind with sad and mixed feelings about this very expensive but still attracting workstation.
HP acknowledges the coil whine issue and hopes the next shipment of motherboards will be fittet in the coming weeks/months.
For me this probably will be too late, unless HP reaches out to me sending me a nicely assembled unit, with less backlight bleeding display and NO coilwhine.
I looked forward to the release of this unit for more that 6 months and spent a lot of effort, two one-time usable software versions and money to get it in my hands but all put together I fell in love with a nice lady with muscles under her skirts but with a terrible squeeking voice and a big pimple in the middle of her face..
I am no apple fan but HP should do a bit more effort to finisch their machines with more care like Apple does. On the other hand could Apple learn a lot about the upgradeability of this Zbook17.
Please help me out HP, I am in despare here!
Update 21-4-2020: I bought a Lenevo P1 in order to wait for a new version of this by coilwhine plagued workstation and i am really happy with it!
Since Fusion360 is a cpu based software that uses also the GPU ram, everything works fine for me now.
Don't think I will ever buy a HP again....
how many fans this machine have?
@@farazulhassanzaheer5143 2 fans, cooling a shared heatpipe system
Great comment! I found myself ready to move on and leave my Zbook G3 behind in order to purchase a brand new workstation Mobile. I had my eyes on this G6 but your comment appear to pop up right on time. I was kinda worried about the assembly since i had this type of issues in my G3, and is sad to read that this keep being a recurrent problem. It is so true what you say about Macbook, always beautifully assembled. So, i think i will go for the MSI WS75. Again, great comment!
What do you do that you need P1 for (or two ZBOOK17s) ?
@@SiRedCat using Fusion on the road in a thin package (P1) and with a lot of horsepower.
The RTX3000 in the Zbook does a great job but the annoing coil whine in two models, combined with a flawsome finish (no premium feeling with loose screws and mismatching plastic lid cover decided me to buy a Lenovo.
No regrets however for now but when HP finds it's balls and gets their shit together, delivers an acceptable keyboard (The P1 types AWESOME!!) and an acceptable colored screen I might consider going back to the Z1 which is easy to upgrade and has lots of power....
Which elitebook dop you have? What year is it from? I have a ten year old elitebook 8730w which is smaller than yours.
It could be great if you could also link official of the notebook.
Also price and specs at the time of review.
Thanks for the video👍
Where can I get a laptop case for this laptop???
Very nice video...you should have done some bechmarks also...btw great videos..!
Thanks ram. I already uploaded benchmarks and performance test video of zbook on my channel.
Bhaye ye laptop 2021 mein buy kr lon tu kia adobe premier pro work kary ga ? Reply me Thankyou question from pakistan
Actually the first two memory slots are located under the battery, fans, etc. All of that has to be removed if you are replacing those modules. The visible memory slots in the machine in your video are slots 3 and 4. You mention that you have 64GB of total memory with four 16GB memory cards. Just mentioning this because if you ordered this machine with memory in slot 1 and not slot 2 you will have to remove a lot of components to get to those slots.
Thanks for the review. I have a question about the 4K screen; does it support touch pen?
Nope
Can a 15 mm HDD be installed in this laptop? I ask this because 2 TB HDDs are 7.5 mm thick, but if a 5 TB (2.5 inch) HDD is installed it is 7.5 mm thick.
Why is the color so overly saturated? Is it normally like that with the Dream Color screen? I like the older screen without the Dream color better.
Saturation values depends on dream color panel settings. This video is shoot with default settings. After working on dream color screen few weeks. I feel other screens are washed out.
I wonder if g5 and g6 have compatibility with GPUs 🤔
Very useful review, but please try to be more steady with the camera when showing the machine from different angles. It's hard to see details of features such as connector positions or keyboard labels when the camera is in motion. Thanks!
Agree
Hello,
Can this laptop be used by removing its battery and using adapter as power supply.
I am using hp p028tx and it has this feature.
I want to buy laptop with this feature[removable battery.]
I get pretty good performance when I directly plug in power supply than and removing battery.
Nice, thx
Hi VFX, Thanks for sharing this information. Looking at this laptop I have one question left: Has it Optimus or Gsync?
Yes, this include Optimus
@@vfxpipeline Great! many thanks. Since I am doubting because of the 72% sRGB instead of NTSC values of the 1080p standard display i am asking myself if you can tell me what type of LCD panel is inside your model? Is it also possible to record the noise of the fans when being at full power?? Really considering buying this one with rtx3000 an 1080p display. Very sturdy and minimalistic laptop!
What the exist price of HP zbook 17 g6.128 gb ram or 16 gb graphic card. 🤔🤔🤔
Full sail got me here

Thanks a lot, because of this i BOUGHT IT. Now i want to figure it to utilize all graphics, i.e. i cannot be able to install NVIDIA drives because Microsoft account issue. I have used Gmail account. Now i wanted to change to Microsoft is a struggle I have two weeks now struggling. The performance i still the same with my old pc. i need help.
Help with what exactly?
Hi VFX, Did you notice any coil whine in your model?
No coil whine. Its silence. can hear cpu fan noise when using 100% cpu
@@vfxpipeline You are one of the few making a review about this workstation, hope to join you soon!
Offgridd you’re most welcome 🙏
How much RAM and storage capacity max to max ?
RAM 128GB
The notebook has dvd player?
yes
Sir VFX I just would like to informed you that regarding your ram capacity what you have mentioned is 16GB + 16GB in your video your own answered is 64GB, I hope i'am wrong.. But i think you need to double check your installed ram again and the video clip, that HP the manufacturer of your Hp Zbook 17 G6 powered by xeon should be installed a total physical memory of 64 GB meaning 32GB X 2 or 2 pcs of it not 16GB x 2 = 32GB only but in your answer in the video review you said 64GB, just wanna help you.. i hope i'am wrong about this, that you have only 32GB or ram installed that supposed to be 32GB X 2 = 64 Gb thank you hope you'll see and read my comment down below.. end..
My zbook have 64 GB ram which I see regularly on my task manager. I know for what hardware specs I pay for. Just for your info in my laptop 4 16GB rams installed. 2 in front and 2 in back side of motherboard.
ah ok sir good to hear that everything is just ok..
Thank You very much for review. What is the best one Zbook 17 G6 or workstation 8770w?
Zbook 17 G6 is clear winner
@@vfxpipeline elitebook 8770w vs zbook g2/g4 which one is the best?
The specs are awesome but i kinda can’t justify the price considering that u can now get for 2000$ a 6-8 cpu lap with 64gb ram and ssd. So like paying 4000$ or more for kinda almost same performance? Where is the real value in those?
Maciek Jutrzenka I can tell you the real value. But before that can you tell me the same configuration laptop name which is available in 2000$
VFX Pipeline Eluktronics MAG-15 Slim & Ultra Light NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti Gaming Laptop with Mechanical RGB Keyboard - Intel i7-9750H CPU 6GB GDDR6 VR Ready GPU 15.6” 144Hz Full HD IPS 2TB NVMe SSD + 64GB RAM
This cost 2000$ cpu runs at 4.0 ghz at 68C. There is also version with RTX 2070 cost 2300$.
There is multiple examples like this but generally 6 core + 64gb ram 1TB SSD + 8gb GPU is usually 2000-3000$
First let me clear HP ZBOOK 17 is not a Gaming Laptop. And for games no need to but this expensive laptop. My Configuration is- Intel Xeon 8 core, 16 Threads, 64GB ECC ram, Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000 8GB, HP dream color 17.3 inch display, 2TB NVMe SSD, and most importantly 5 years International Onsite warranty. Well here is the use of this laptop which justify the price. Let me share my use - I do 3D content creation, VFX simulations, Rendering, 4K video editing, Running 5 -10 virtual machines parallel, compiling codes, Running multiple 3D applications parallel, some time laptop run 24x7, colour grading in 4K digital content, Realtime game assets visualisation in unreal 3D. And my job location switch frequently so need mobility to carry my workstation with me. All this I can do with my Zbook very smoothly. And yes I can play all games in high quality and frame rate. Stay tuned Full benchmark video coming soon.
@@vfxpipeline i am sorry but i had in past "workstation laptops" that costed x2 than gaming laptops.. and i can't find any diff.. apart from the price. Can u tell me your Cinema bench score? and what temps and ghz your CPU runs at..
Because as much as they are advertised how amazeing they are... they usually are way slower in performance compared to game laptops. i have 3 laptops currently, 2 of them act as render nodes and 1 is main workstation they usualy work in enviroment of 25-30 C.. rendering almost constantly... and i have no problem at all... not only that on weekends my laptop is usually running in night club/event as it is powersource for VJ. and the oldest one have now 5 years... and still works like on day 1.
so as much i like all marketing bullshit they say about how it is more stable... what matters for me is.. what temp the CPU is running and what ghz and how much performance it provides.
I simply just don't see value in those laptops.. it is just mareting cap.
@@MaciekJutrzenka If you get the HP Care Pack then any part that fails they'll send you overnight. Try that with your brand or Apple.
nice review bro . but i want to know what is the price for your new laptop , and from where you bought it , because i want to buy one like yours . thanks
Hp Zbook comes with many different configurations and full customization option.I brought from HP Official Online Store. Price start from 2799$ and go up with your configurations. I paid 5513$ for my laptop (Intel Xeon E2286, 64 GB ECC RAM, Nvidia Quadro RTX 8GB, 2TB NVMe SSD, 17.3 inch 4K Dreamcolor display, extra HP 5 years onsite warranty)
@@vfxpipeline ok bro thank you so much for the informations .
My zbook have not battery
how do you insert a CD into this freaking thing? this is ridiculous
We like your excitement, and appreciate you sharing your experience. But we just use the more practical approach via cloud accessibility options for faster cpu and gpu workstations and unlimited amount cores with a very shitty $1000 laptop. We do exactly the same thing you do and perhaps more! All we need is a internet service provider for accessing the cloud...this is the future!! buying hardware is just waste of money as your ROI on that is substantially slow and time consuming. You better make sure you make money off that laptop in the first 30 days as the value of it will go down by 30% in 5 months.
Thanks for sharing your cloud Idea. I never thought of any ROI with this laptop. I just want and need a powerful mobile workstation in my hand that replace my 8 year old mobile workstation. So far I enjoy working on this new hardware and now I am able to work on 4K content smoothly. My recent 2 videos(HP Zbook unboxing and Hardware review) and all upcoming videos will be in 4K.
For final renders the cloud idea sure sounds like a good option, but when Internet is down (or just slow) or when you simply don't have access to the cloud.. then it is very good to have all the power you need inside your laptop. I often use renderfarms for large 3d render jobs, but when I'm working, then I it's great to have a quick and smooth running setup like this machine. I also work with colour critical work, so the Dreamcolor display is among the best you can get showing 100% AdobeRGB.
I'm about to order the HP ZBook G6 15" (with the Dreamcolor display) to replace my 15" Macbook Pro (2018). I've had Macbooks for many years, have been really happy with them, but with this new Macbook Pro I am really missing all the ports, the physical Function-keys (replaced by "touchbar") and the SD-card reader - missed it all from day one. I've also been looking at the Lenovo Thinkpad competitor (same price range), but I like the HP ZBooks better and Lenovo doesn't offer an equally good display. I'm not a gamer, but this machine will do it all.
After warranty - Even I changed Graphics Card of my HP Workstation by my own. see my video - ua-cam.com/video/YUKoVQppmIY/v-deo.html
The sound of the speakers croaks, the dvd-blu ray player is noisy. Bad notebook for 3000€!!!
