The ZBook Studio won't enable VR gaming or competition-crushing rounds of Tekken 7, but it will handle modest gaming needs. That's similar to the 143,124 from the Precision 5520 (Nvidia Quadro M1200) and high above the 87,519 mainstream notebook average. The ZBook Studio's Nvidia Quadro M1200 graphics card enabled it to score a strong 145,911 on the 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited test. That's quicker than the 4:13 category average and the 3:08 from the Precision 5520. Productivity users will get good use out of the ZBook Studio G4, which matched 20,000 names to addresses in OpenOffice in 2 minutes and 59 seconds.

That outpaces the 208-MBps category average and the 462.7 MBps from the Precision 5520 (512GB M.2 PCIe SSD) but can't touch the 654 MBps from the MacBook Pro (512GB PCIe SSD). The 512GB HP Z Turbo Drive PCIe SSD in the ZBook Studio duplicated 4.97GB of multimedia files in 9 seconds, for a speed of 565.4 MBps. On Geekbench 4, the Studio G4 scored 16,908, which obliterates the 10,597 mainstream notebook average and beats the 15,309 from the Precision 5520 (Xeon E3-1505M v6, 32GB of RAM) and the 15,170 from the MacBook Pro (Intel Core i7, 16GB of RAM).

I saw no lag after splitting my screen among a streaming 1080p YouTube video and 15 Chrome tabs (including Slack, Google Docs and TweetDeck). The $3,510 ZBook Studio G4 configuration we tested features an Intel 7th-Gen Kaby Lake Xeon 1535M v6 CPU and 32GB of RAM, which makes it perfect for power users. Its default enhancement setting (Music) produces slightly fuller audio than the Movies option, and the Voice preset dampens all other elements. The included Bang & Olufsen Audio app allows you to change sound profiles, but you really don't need to. In testing, that meant The Killers' song "The Man" came through with clear vocals, sturdy bass guitar and crisp drums. The Bang & Olufsen speakers in the ZBook Studio produce enough solid, accurate sound to fill a medium-size conference room.

It also speedily accepted Windows 10's three-finger navigation gestures for switching apps and viewing all windows. The 4.5 x 3.1-inch touchpad in the ZBook Studio G4 provides accurate input tracking and a solid feel to each click. On the typing test, I hit a rate of 74 words per minute, which is a dip below my 80-wpm average. The keys require a solid 71 grams of force to actuate, but the switches feel a little shallow, with 1.5 millimeters of vertical travel, which is on the lower end of the 1.5 to 2 mm we expect from a laptop this size. The ZBook Studio G4's keyboard provides a serviceable but unimpressive typing experience. Those tests include drops from 36 inches (onto both its corners and sides), operation in extremely hot and cold climates (as high as 160 degrees Fahrenheit and as low as minus 20 degrees) and getting blasted by Arizona road dust for 6 hours while operational. The ZBook Studio G4 can also take some abuse, having passed 13 MIL-SPEC-810G durability tests. Intel's vPro remote management technology is also available, if you configure it with a CPU and Wi-Fi card that support it.
It features Sure Start Gen3, which "self heals" the system BIOS if it becomes corrupted. IT managers should appreciate the perks in the ZBook Studio G4. The Studio G4's screen doesn't offer the best viewing angles, though, as I saw color darken at 30 degrees to the left and right. The 335-nit Precision 5520 and the 460-nit MacBook Pro shone even brighter. That puts it in a tie with the MacBook Pro (0.2) and makes it better than the 2.1 category average and the 1.5 from the Precision 5520.Įmitting up to 301 nits, the ZBook Studio G4 is relatively bright, beating the 275-nit category average. The workstation panel's accuracy is also excellent, as it earned a 0.2 on the Delta-E test (where lower is better).
