Design

Belonging to the mobile workstation laptops, the HP ZBook Studio G3 is much tighter in design and size than traditional mobile workstations. The size of the machine is 375 x 255 x 18mm, weighs about 2kg. Without the “Mobile Workstation” printed on the hinges, no one would expect the ZBook Studio G3 to have the “power” of a desktop workstation.

HP has used magnesia to make chassis with load-bearing structure and anti-deformation. The exterior of the unit is made of monolithic alloys, which help reduce weight and improve heat dissipation. The exterior of the lid is simply handled with polished dots, the middle is the HP logo, the bottom is plastic with holes in the heat sink.

To evaluate the machine structure in a nutshell, it is enough to say the ZBook Studio G3 meets the US military’s MIL-SPEC-810G standard. If there is a need to explain a bit more about this standard, it is resistant to impact types such as: impact, vibration, wet, corrosive, extreme weather conditions (high temperature, sand dust…). With such characteristics, ZBook Studio G3 deserves the model laptop in the mobile workstation series.

Efficiency

The screen of the ZBook Studio G3 is 15.6 inches in size with two full-HD or ultra-HD resolution options, with full-HD support for touch. The screen of the other version is coated with anti-glare. The GPU used is the Quadro M1000M – a special chip manufactured by Nvidia, optimized for graphics processing (CAD, image editing, video editing …). The G3 supports up to 32GB of RAM, 128 or 256GB SDDs, and can expand to 1TB.

HP offers up to 6 processor options, topping out the two latest Intel Xeon CPUs, midrange with 2 sample use Core i7, and lowest is 2 sample Core i5. Of these, two Xeon CPUs are the E3-1545M and the E3-1505M are among Intel’s strongest rivals. Core i7 and i5 processors are also the most popular models used for workstations.
