Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Hp business laptops like zbook and elitebook are reinforced at the hinges whereas the cheaper ones were not, so they snap at the hinge mounts.
  • Zbook are tanks. Heavy and strong. Not bad specs. We have them at work. I run linux on mine. Windows just makes them feel bad, especially the bloatware.
  • ZBooks are not affected by hinge related issues. The majority of HP's business hardware doesn't have hinge issues.
  • You mean all of us at r/zbook? These are good machines, just ignore the Hinge Problem meme
  • or HP Zbook.

Cons

  • Expensive. I don’t particularly like the design. Quite thick and heavy. I’m concerned about battery life. It seems like significantly more laptop than I actually need.
  • Skip the ZBook.

Hp does have the z book and spectre series which are also high end business class, I would guess they are better than they're regular laptops

If you can, get a workstation laptop instead, like a ZBook, Dell Precision or Thinkpad P (non S non V non P1) that are far better built.
