Title: HP ZBook Power 16 G11 A review: Powerful workstation with AMD Zen 4
Post by: Redaktion on October 01, 2024, 18:45:01
The ZBook Power 15 series has grown up to a more modern 16-inch form factor. The larger and heavier size, however, has unfortunately not translated to faster graphics performance.

"no Co-Pilot+ support"

This advantage is listed as a disadvantage;)

HP's datasheet says "Memory card device: 1 smart card reader (select models); 1 SD card reader (optional); Nano SIM card slot (optional)".  MicroSD is not mentioned.  (Maybe the author is mistaking the Nano SIM slot for a MicroSD slot?)  (For purchasers who use MicroSD cards, a MicroSDCard to SDCard adapter might be a useful add-on.)

It is really weird to see those disadvantages and this article from Allen? I do not get it.Cuz it sounds like NBC got paid by someone and has to give some disadvantage of this machine which make no sense.

1. No Copilot+? Of couse as it is an AMD based machine, even with Intel Ultra, it is Copilot instead of Copilot+
2. SSD Throttle: Yep,as they used outdated PM9A1 SSD, of course it would be. I got units come with PM9A1a(990Pro) and PC801(SKH P41) and both works like a charm.
3. No P3, brightness is low indeed but P3 is not necessary.

In a word, I think your socre is not fair to HP. NBC always overrated ThinkPad and ignore how shitty machines they make recent years. I do not get it, maybe due to HP's marketing budget. If such things continue, I doubt how many would still believe NBC as the benchmark of all assorted reviews. As a 11yrs reader, I do not feel good about it. partitcuarly when ourselves start to write articles and paid marketing as well. HP generally always better than lenovo these days.
