I typically am using this for excel use and browsing the web. This is able to handle some pretty large and data heavy files i am working in without getting too hot. Quick response times even when it is using a ton of memory on my files. The screen is beautiful looking and the touchpad is easy to use. Overall a solid laptop, especially if you want power and for it to be pretty light weight.

In a time where technology is at the forefront, HP appears to be at the top of the game. I had been looking at laptops for the past several months, and with limited knowledge of laptops, I was at a loss with what product to select. I opted for this model and have been ecstatic with its quality and functionality. The laptop has a sleek design that makes it very aesthetically pleasing. It is very lightweight and is able to reach a full charge in a very short time. First usage is very simple, with easy to follow instructions which are displayed on the screen. The device is very fast and seems to have adequate storage for my needs but also has dual memory slots as well. I am certain that I have yet to use this laptop to its full potential, but it has delivered consistently with each and every use. It is very reassuring to have Wolf Pro Security to protect my device and personal information, this feature is included for 3 whole years! I am beyond pleased with this device, I will most certainly be considering to see what else HP has to offer!

This computer is great. It's super lightweight and lightning fast. It's so nice having a fingerprint reader to log in. The screen is super crisp and great for watching streaming video when I'm traveling. I've been a Mac user for the last 15 years but I think I've converted!

I work in a field that requires me to be able to use and analyze data quickly with different types of software that are relevant to each organization.   This type of fieldwork requires a pretty impressive computer and laptop. I  took this laptop to work with me and travel over 1400 square miles with 5 different organizations and their multiple sites. Here are my thoughts: the computer was able to hook up to different wifi and run effectively. It ran the data programs quickly and easily while allowing me to also work with multiple screens with the extra memory. The display is great, the keyboard has a nice feel with a soft backlight. There is a fingerprint reader to allow added security which I need. There are multiple plugs to assist with all of the organizations' different technology hookups (USB ports, HDMI, etc.) and adding multiple screens. A couple of the best features for me, besides the speed, are the light weight and quietness of the fan. While the processing speed and quickness to run the programs are necessary, the light weightiness of the laptop was a pleasant bonus (2.9 pounds)with the extra screens I carry (two). The battery on a pretty hectic workday lasts me about 2 hours to an hour and a half. The touch mouse pad is pretty big, easy to use, and very responsive.  However, if you are a gamer, or need to click through items pretty fast, you will want a mouse.  The cons I feel about the computer are: the battery, I wish it lasted longer. If you need to click quickly and fast you will need an external mouse to add on.

This is a very modern look high performing laptop. The display color is beyond expectations, the processor does exactly what it's supposed to do. The battery is very long lasting. There are plenty of ports to add whatever it is you needed to add on. I'm a social media Influencer so it loads applications very flawlessly as well as streams seamlessly. The sound quality is awesome. The touch pad also responds accurately with no lag.

This is a sleek, high performing laptop, and I was so ecstatic to finally replace my Macbook. It's a little heavier than expected but the display is color accurate, the processor is fast and smooth, and the battery lasts nearly all day without a charge. There are plenty of ports and loads applications and streams seamlessly. The sound quality is crisp, and the touch pad is intuitive. Really happy with this unit and highly recommend for work and/or personal usage!

Super light but well built and very fast and powerful. Nice bright non-glare screen that is viewable outdoors in sunlight. I'm still curious about the Wolf Pro security.

The laptop I'm testing is an HP ZBook Firefly 14 inch G9, which is intended primarily for professional use. The device specifications, as reported in Windows Settings, are as follows: Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1255U   1.70 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.6 GB usable) It is configured with a 500 GB solid state drive. The display is 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz, so it's not a super hi-res screen (not what Apple would call a "Retina display," in other words), but it looks nice enough. There is no touch or pen support. It has integrated Intel graphics, as well as a discrete NVIDIA T550 Laptop GPU with 4 GB of GDDR6 memory. There's a built-in fingerprint reader, which worked reliably in my testing. The keyboard feels reasonably nice. The trackpad supports multi-touch gestures, and is fine. By default, the trackpad translates fairly gentle taps as clicks, so I quickly turned that off, as I was experiencing accidental clicks quite frequently. With that turned off, the trackpad feels pretty good. It's not as nice as Apple's trackpads, but it's certainly fine. The webcam is listed as a 5MP HD IR camera. It's nothing special, but I participated in a video call, and it worked well enough. It brags about "audio by Bang & Olufsen," but I'm not sure exactly what the renowned Danish company contributed here. The built-in speakers do sound above-average for a laptop though, and they get decently loud. There's WiFi 6E support, which is nice, as well as Bluetooth 5.2. The left side of the laptop features an HDMI 2.0b port, a USB-A (SuperSpeed) port, two Thunderbolt 4/USB4 Type-C ports, and a Smartcard reader. The right side has a headphone/microphone combo jack, and another USB-A (SuperSpeed) port. The included power cord is 65W with a Type-C connector. Windows 10 was pre-installed, and HP unsurprisingly pre-installed a whole bunch of their own stuff. Some of that HP software seems to be for diagnostics and support, and some of it is security-oriented. Much of the pre-installed HP software seems redundant, as it duplicates features that are built into Windows. It includes a year of HP's "Wolf Pro" security software, which includes antivirus, anti-phishing measures, and so on. For tasks like web browsing or word processing, this machine performs admirably. I was able to play fullscreen 1080p videos on YouTube without any performance issues, though I did tend to hear the fan kick in when doing so. As fans go, however, it's not terribly loud. Upon leaving YouTube, the fan pretty quickly went silent. With the built-in display, there was no point in attempting to play videos at higher resolutions, and I did not have a compatible external 4K display available for testing. I installed the latest version of Adobe Photoshop via my Adobe Creative Cloud subscription and opened a 24 megapixel photo. I used an external mouse for this testing. By and large, editing the photo performed pretty well. Occasionally, the effects would lag just a tad behind my cursor or clicks or keypresses. Certain filters took several seconds to apply, but there were no long waits. Things like removing a subject from its background or using the type tool or brushes worked well enough. For a true pro, Photoshop performance might not quite meet expectations (given that I did experience a little bit of lag at times), but if your needs aren't super-demanding, it performs well enough. The NVIDIA GPU is, as far as I can tell, optimised for professional applications, as opposed to games, but I did a little gaming to try it out nonetheless. I tested DOOM (2016), which I installed via Steam. It was a reasonably demanding game in its day, although its day was 6 years ago. Frankly, it still looks quite good. It just doesn't have some of the latest graphical features, like ray-tracing. Alas, the GPU on this machine doesn't support ray-tracing anyway, so no loss there. DOOM defaulted to 1920x1080 (which was slightly letterboxed, since that's a 16:9 aspect ratio, and the display is 16:10) with most graphics options set to "Medium." I played for just a few minutes like this before switching to the display's native 1920x1200. With the default (Medium) settings, the frame rate was nearly always a rock-solid 60 fps when exploring environments, only rarely dipping into the high 50s. In firefights with many enemies and effects onscreen, the frame rate would often dip into the 50s and occasionally into the 40s, but it remained very playable. I bumped the graphics settings up to "Ultra" to see how it fared, and I saw no change in performance. It ran just as well as it had with "Medium" settings. You're not going to do any super high performance 4K gaming with this laptop, but at the native 1920x1200, DOOM ran pretty well, even with everything maxed out. All-in-all, the HP ZBook Firefly 14 inch G9 is a very capable machine that performs most common tasks quite well. It supports a lot of pretty new standards, like WiFi 6E and USB4-even Thunderbolt 4. If you're in the market for a mid-range professional Windows laptop, it seems like a solid choice.

This smart, stylish, sophisticated, multitasking, high performance laptop is a great product. Its light weight and easy to carry make it mobile. This laptop has many great features like awesome picture quality (4k) top notch sound (dual stereo speakers), sturdy, rugged aluminum casing and have very good battery life. This workstation helps me with my editing and 3D designing work, the graphics quality is great (Nvidia graphic card). Color display and sound quality is so cool it convinces me to watch my favorite shows on it too. My husband who is in semiconductor industry management, he is a tech expert also love this device. I like the feature of camera shutter provides privacy; web cam is 5MP. It has photo identification option and fingerprint scanner too. The display can lay almost flat to make it very easy to view from every angle. Processor is (12th Gen 1.70 GHz Intel Core i7) fast enough to perform multiple tasks efficiently and quickly without lagging. When you buy new device it's really a big fuss to transfer data, this device has SSD (solid state drive) which makes this process silky and smooth for me. 16GB RAM and Windows 10 Pro 64-bit OS. The laptop screen has light and color sensors which enables me to work continuous without being too stressful on my eyes. The display is not reflective does reflect sunlight during daytime use. Touch pad is big and easy to handle and work well even without a separate mouse. This device is provided with full size back lit, spill resistant keyboard. Port options are pretty good in it (2 USB A, 2 USB C, HDMI etc.). This device comes with HP Wolf security which provides me defense from ever growing list of viruses, this security system easily traps threats, fights malware, monitor and flags against suspicious websites. The only thing I am missing in this device is no pen or touch input, otherwise perfect for me, I am loving it.

I am so happy with this new laptop. I have always use a standard desktop PC and never knew what I was missing out on. This laptop makes me want to work.

It's a fine piece of equipment, I could not be any happier for my Firefly Zbook. My Zbook is light in weight, durable, and user friendly. Easy to set up my files in my Firefly Zbook as I uploaded everything I needed in my new Firefly I've used it every day for work and jump into the lighted keys, large 14 inch screen and let's not forget about the smooth pad at night. Thank you for making such a great product HP.

I am very impressed with this laptop. It has a very sleek and clean looking appearance. I definitely recommend the 14 inch screen. It makes the overall experience much better for when your viewing movies, videos or even gaming. The picture has such a vivid detail to it. I love how quick the processor works there seems to be no lag time when it comes to changing apps or downloading. I'm very pleased with my purchase and the added wolf security is a great addition.

This has to be, one of the best PC's I ever used, the combination of discrete components (fantastic processor, good RAM amount and speed, excellent storage, vibrant and clear display, excellent port availability, sound and built in tile capability). Beginning with packaging and a nod to sustainability, I love the simple cardboard recyclable box - I appreciate this more than having an elaborate and wasteful unboxing experience. Keep the cost lower, keep it simple - love it. The hardware itself has ocean-bound plastics and recycled aspects in it. Also, well done HP. This is exactly right - keep on this, we care! The power supply as a side note, had a great wrap around the cord - something that gave it a bit more personality and a nicer aesthetic. I appreciated this, though would never have expected it - but I like it! This originally had Windows 10 Pro on it, but upgraded to Windows 11 without issue swiftly with the updating process - my preference as well to be on 11. The machine is zippy, it handled multiple apps open, HD video playback and some intense computational tasks (lots of spreadsheet work) simultaneously - I did not notice any lag or the hardware skipping a beat. The keyboard is indeed quiet, much quieter than a few other large name brands I have, and the feel was soft to the touch. The trackpad was large, and responsive - sensitive almost and I had to dial it back a bit for my tastes (which are fully customizable). There is a built-in Tile feature, which I didn't seek out specifically, but it is interesting to have and has come in handy once already. Who knew, I would misplace my laptop. Camera quality is good, best in plenty of light - low light you can see the grain and artifacts pop up - so proper lighting setup applies here for those late night video calls or low-light conditions. Audio is bonkers. The B&O's do justice on web playback and streaming - really not bad for a laptop, and they grow on you for sure. The machine is a little heavier than I would have thought, not an issue, but I did notice it picking it up for the first time -it doesn't come to mind now but was one of those first impression items. The body is seems predominantly metal, durable and has held up - with some plastic (display case looks to be). Keyboard backlighting is good, helps in low light conditions as well but is not overbearing. I also enjoy having the fingerprint scanner - I'm not a fan of face recognition (which it can also do) so this is a great alternative for me. In all, its a very fast, powerhouse of a machine with very forward thinking capability. It will last me a considerable amount of time without replacement. Very happy with it, go HP on this one!

This zbook is phenomenal. It is super work/student friendly too because of how compact and lightweight it is. It also has all the updated features and is a fast working laptop because it has a decent processor. Its been working smoothly so far and i can even say that it reminds me of a macbook. It has a nice smooth track pad as well thats easy to use and also set up was not too bad, it was pretty straight forward.

I received this over the weekend, and I couldn't wait to open up the package. I let it fully charge before I started to mess with it. As, soon as it was done charging, I turned it one and did all the updates that it needed, the updates were done pretty fast. The laptop is very fast, which I love. I take a lot of work home and this laptop does the job. I couldn't be happier with it. The battery life is great and when it's time to charge your laptop, it's quick and lighting fast. I have very happy with the laptop. I must say, out of my laptops that I have ever owned, this one tops it. If you are deciding if you should buy this. You should, you will NOT regret it!

After using this laptop for a few days I'm super impressed! It comes with options that I would want (i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, Nvida T550 GPU) and is crazy fast. It's not as common to have a dedicated GPU in most laptops now, but I highly recommend it if you'll be doing anything creative with photo/video/design/etc and this one does not disappoint. My biggest surprises so far are how much I like the fingerprint scanner (seriously, it makes logging in feel easier than unlocking my phone) and how great the screen is. Colors are fantastic, the display is very sharp, and the viewing angle has to be close to 180 degrees. I have a work laptop (different major brand) that is meant to be at a similar level but I didn't realize how disappointing the screen was until I started using this one. A slightly different approach with this laptop is to use 1920x1200 instead of 1920x1080. It feels the same which is good, but also gives more space vertically for all the toolbars at the top of programs which can take up way too much space on a laptop screen. I am also shocked at how good the speakers are, I love audio and have a fantastic home theater setup...which this doesn't compare to and I wouldn't expect it to. But I've never heard laptop speakers this good before where it's not painful to listen to music like it's in a tin can, these (separate right/left speakers) are enjoyable and can get plenty loud! I'm not sure how much of a difference the Wolf Pro Security will make but I guess time will tell. Having a Tile built in is a great idea and really enhances the physical security. It's slightly heavier than I was expecting but it's really not bad at all, it feels sturdy which I'd much rather have than something light and flimsy. The camera is sharp in bright light but pretty grainy in dim lighting (common on every laptop I've used), but I do appreciate the built-in camera cover that you can slide over.  The computer was quick to set up, connected flawlessly with my wireless HP printer in a few seconds, and it also connected right away with my dock (from a different brand) and could handle the laptop screen plus two other independent external monitors (I love USB-C docks and being able to connect everything with 1 cord including charging it). Speaking of cords, the power cord that comes with it is really cool, almost like a cloth feel instead of the usual plastic/rubber that every other laptop cord I've ever used has felt like...just a nice unexpected bonus! I work in software development, have had jobs in graphic design, video and photo editing, and worked in technical support/helpdesk environments for years so I'm pretty picky...but I can't say enough good things about this computer! I've used plenty of other brands in the last few years and hadn't really thought of HP as a major contender for a high-end laptop but this ZBook has absolutely changed my mind!
