Hawk Point for professionals.

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.

HP ZBook Power 16 G11 A

The ZBook Power 16 G11 succeeds the older ZBook Power 15 G10 with both new internal processors and new external changes. As its name implies, the ZBook Power 16 G11 modernizes the series by dropping the old 15.6-inch form factor for a 16-inch design. It sits in between the lower-end ZBook Firefly and higher-end ZBook Fury when it comes to performance. Users can configure with either Meteor Lake Intel Core Ultra CPUs or AMD Ryzen Zen 4 CPUs and Nvidia RTX graphics.

Our unit in review is a higher-end AMD configuration (ZBook Power 16 G11 A) with the Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU, RTX 2000 Ada GPU, and 120Hz 2560 x 1600p IPS display for approximately $2100. Options are very wide ranging from the Ryzen 5 8645HS up to the Ryzen 9 8945HS with 1200p display and RTX 1000, RTX 2000, or RTX 3000 graphics. Users can also opt for no discrete graphics at all.

Competitors in this space include other 16-inch workstations like the Dell Precision 5690, MSI CreatorPro Z16P, or the Lenovo ThinkPad P16s G2.

HP utilizes similar gray aluminum alloy materials for almost all of its ZBook models for a sense of consistency across the family. In this case, the ZBook Power 16 G11 sports the same smooth matte metal texture as the ZBook Power 15 G10 but with superficial changes to the keyboard borders, outer lid trim, and bottom panel.

Chassis rigidity is excellent with minimal bending and depressions when trying to twist the base. However, the hinges and lid could have been stiffer especially since the lid can open almost the full 180 degrees unlike on the Precision 5690.

The new 16-inch design is about 10 percent heavier and 7 percent larger than the outgoing 15-inch model. It's notably not any thinner which is a bummer as it's already thicker than some competitors like the ThinkPad P1 Gen 7. The ZBook Fury 16 G11 is even heavier and thicker still but with faster CPU and GPU options to compensate. HP offers the slimmer ZBook Firefly 16 series should users want a more portable option.

❌

The model includes fewer USB-A ports than on last year's ZBook Power 15 G10. Everything else has returned including the Smart Card reader and dual USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports albeit rearranged. The ports along the left edge in particular are far too crowded and could have been spread out a bit more.

The model integrates a MicroSD card reader whereas the feature was missing on the ZBook Power 15 G10. Transfer rates are very fast; moving 1 GB of pictures from our UHS-II test card takes less than 6 seconds compared to 12 seconds on the ZBook Fury 16 G11 or ThinkPad P1 Gen 7.

Spring-loaded SD card reader

The MediaTek MT7922 comes standard for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity. Realtek options are also available as well as the HP 4000 or Qualcomm 9205 for WAN connectivity.

A 5 MP webcam comes standard alongside IR and a physical shutter slider similar to the ThinkPad P16s G2. The Precision 5690 comes with a much lower resolution 2 MP webcam.

The bottom panel pops off relatively easily with just a Phillips screwdriver and sharp edge. The internals have been completely redesigned when compared to the ZBook Power 15 G10 while retaining the same upgradeable options like the 2x SODIMM slots, 2x PCIe4 x4 NVMe SSD slots, and removable WLAN module. WAN is an added option this time around.

HP ZBook Power 16 G11 A

The manufacturing utilizes low halogen while the packaging consists of molded paper pulp and recycled plastics made from 100 percent sustainable sources and 60 percent post-consumer sources, respectively.

There are no extras in the box to accompany the AC adapter and paperwork. Disappointingly, the standard limited warranty is only one year if purchased in the US whereas the ZBook Fury comes with three years as standard.

The typing experience is similar to a Spectre x360 16 in that the keys are firm with relatively sharp feedback to be comfortable for typing. Key travel in particular feels deeper than on most Ultrabooks to avoid the typical shallow or spongy feedback.

The numpad has returned whereas it is missing on the competing Precision 5690. Its keys are slightly narrower than the main QWERTY keys, however, and so feedback is noticeably softer when pressed.

The clickpad is larger than before (12.5 x 8 cm vs. 11.5 × 7 cm) to take advantage of the larger 16-inch form factor. Dedicated keys are still missing and are instead available on the pricier ZBook Fury series. Traction and feedback are nonetheless smooth and clicky, respectively, to be more reliable than the normally spongier clickpads on most consumer laptops.

A total of five display options are available as follows all of which are IPS only. Our configuration ships with the bolded option.

1920 x 1200, non-touch, matte, 250 nits, 45 percent NTSC, 60 Hz
1920 x 1200, touch, matte, 250 nits, 45 percent NTSC, 60 Hz
1920 x 1200, non-touch, matte, 400 nits, 100 percent sRGB, 60 Hz
1920 x 1200, non-touch, matte, 1000 nits, 100 percent sRGB, HP Sure View, 60 Hz
2560 x 1600, non-touch, matte, 400 nits, 100 percent sRGB, 120 Hz

If image quality is a concern, users should skip the lower-end first two options as color coverage would only be about 60 percent of sRGB. The super-bright 1000 nit panel is noteworthy since many other workstations do not offer this feature, but the option is unfortunately tied to Sure View which severely limits viewing angles for increased privacy. There are no OLED, HDR, or P3 options to speak of which is somewhat disappointing for a performance workstation. Users would have to upgrade to the HP ZBook Fury 16 G11 or consider the ThinkPad P16s G2 for such features.

The display is decently calibrated out of the box against the sRGB standard. Calibrating the panel with our X-Rite colorimeter would improve average grayscale and color deltaE values even further from 3.7 and 2.16 to just 2.5 and 1.37, respectively. Our calibrated ICM profile is available to download above for free.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
8.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 4.5 ms rise
↘ 3.9 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 21 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.7 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
13.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 7.2 ms rise
↘ 6.4 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 24 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.5 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8508 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Outdoor visibility is decent when under shade with our 1600p panel, but lower-end options will be dimmer and more prone to glare. The 1000-nit option should be considered if frequently outdoors.

Wide IPS viewing angles. Colors and contrast degrade from extreme angles

We set both Windows and MyHP to Performance mode prior to running the benchmarks below. Optimus 1.0 is supported.

The Ryzen 7 8845HS doesn't offer much over the Ryzen 7 7840HS that it replaces in last year's ZBook Power 15 G10. In fact, benchmarks put both processors neck-to-neck by just a few percentage points to be essentially identical. This may be disappointing to power users who were expecting more significant performance upgrades in the transition from 15-inch to 16-inch. Faster Raptor Lake-HX options are available only on HP's thicker ZBook Fury series.

The main advantage that the Ryzen 7 8845HS holds over the Ryzen 7 7840HS is AI acceleration due to its integrated NPU. However, Co-Pilot+ is incompatible with Hawk Point CPUs and so the practicality of the NPU is very limited on this machine.

Downgrading to the Ryzen 5 8645HS is expected to reduce performance by 25 to 30 percent while upgrading to the Ryzen 9 8945HS is expected to improve performance by just 5 percent.

System idle

The CPU would boost to 4.3 GHz, 65 W, and 90 C when initiating Prime95 stress before quickly falling and stabilizing at 3.8 GHz and 50 W to prevent higher core temperatures. Results are close to what we observed on the ZBook Power 15 G10 if not slightly warmer by a few degrees.

Interestingly, the CPU throttles more heavily to just 2.8 GHz when running both Prime95 and FurMark simultaneously instead of 3.8 GHz as on last year's model. This change was likely to improve core temperatures; the CPU now stabilizes at a more comfortable 66 C instead of the 99 C on the ZBook Power 15 G10.

Running Cyberpunk 2077 on Balanced mode instead of Performance mode results in both slightly cooler core temperatures and slightly slower average clock rates as shown below. GPU board power draw would also drop from 35 W to 30 W against the advertised maximum of 50 W.

PCMark results are nearly identical to what we recorded on last year's ZBook Power 15 G10. This means that traditional day-to-day loads like browsing or editing aren't noticeably faster on our newer model. RAM performance has not improved as well.

We experienced a wake-from-sleep issue where a hard shutdown was required to return to Windows. We weren't able to reliably replicate the problem, but the fact that it happened at all on a mobile workstation is noteworthy nonetheless.

Our test unit ships with a 2 TB Samsung PM9A1 PCIe4 x4 NVMe SSD for sequential read rates as high as 6700 MB/s. Unfortunately, the drive would quickly throttle down to the low 2000 MB/s range after just a few minutes of stress as shown by our DiskSpd loop test results below. We repeated the test and results would not improve. This is disappointing as the WD drive in the older ZBook Power 15 G10 would not exhibit any throttling issues. A heat spreader would have likely improved performance.

Discrete GPU options remain identical to the 15-inch ZBook Power 15 G10 as Nvidia has not launched a successor yet to the mobile Ada Lovelace series. Additionally, the cooling solution has not vastly improved during the switch to a 16-inch form factor meaning that the ZBook Power 16 G11 is still limited to the same 50 W TGP ceiling and RTX 1000 Ada, RTX 2000 Ada, and RTX 3000 Ada graphics options as before. Users will have to consider the thicker ZBook Fury 16 series for higher-end RTX Ada options.

Upgrading to the RTX 3000 Ada brings marginal performance boosts at best based on our experience with the Dell Precision 5490.

Fan noise levels and behavior are similar to what we observed on last year's model. The system remains quiet at just 25.4 dB(A) even after running the first benchmarks scene of 3DMark 06 which is much quieter than competing models like the ThinkPad P16s G2 or Precision 5690 under similar conditions.

Keep in mind that fan noise is noticeably quieter on Balanced mode; running Cyberpunk 2077 on Performance mode can be as loud as 43 dB(A) compared to only 37.5 dB(A) if on Balanced mode.

Surface temperatures are generally cooler on our new 16-inch form factor especially in regards to the bottom cover. Hot spots on the bottom reach just 41 C when running demanding loads compared to 48 C on the older ZBook Power 15 G10. The hot spot on the keyboard center reaches 41 C as well while the palm rests and sides remain cooler and more comfortable for palms and fingers.

When compared to the more powerful Precision 5690, the Dell unit is even warmer on the keyboard while being cooler on the bottom surface.

Consumption levels and behavior are similar to what we observed on the ZBook Power 15 G10 which is unsurprising given that the power envelope remains the same between them. Perhaps the most notable difference relates to the lower consumption of about 25 W when running Prime95 and FurMark simultaneously. This can be attributed to the heavier throttling for cooling core temperatures when running such loads as mentioned in the Stress Test section above.

We're able to record a temporary maximum draw of 155 W from the medium-sized (~13.8 x 6.5 x 2.2 cm) 150 W AC adapter.
