Title: HP ZBook Firefly 14 G9 laptop in review: Intel Alder Lake-U slows down this mobile workstation
Post by: Redaktion on October 25, 2022, 11:39:20
HP's ZBook Firefly 14 G9 mobile workstation wants to offer a lot of performance in a compact package. However, the result is quite disappointing especially in terms of CPU performance since Intel's Alder Lake chip is throttled heavily.

Can someone explain to me in a meaningful way - why at the end of 2022 buy a $2200 laptop with R7 3700U (Zen +) performance from 2019? What is the practical point of flushing so much money down the toilet? It's crap not even as quiet (<26dB) as the Gx 445/455/450/450 line with very slow SoC worked on PL1 only 12W! Which of 40-50% minimum is faster over it crap.
Why the hell can't HP sell the "new" G9 series (like all the old Gx) 455/450 without in base (as minimum) with 72% NTSC panel and 10ms(100Hz+) response time/frequency from the PSU as minimum? RIP.
