15.6" ZBook Firefly 15 G8 Mobile Workstation (Smart Buy)

Mobile professionals no longer have to choose between portability and performance, thanks to the HP 15.6" ZBook Firefly 15 G8 Mobile Workstation. Weighing in at just under four pounds, this ZBook Firefly is still easy to travel with. While portable, the Firefly also houses an 11th Gen 3.0 GHz Intel Core i7-1185G7 Quad-Core processor and 16GB of DDR4 RAM, allowing you to run your business apps quickly and efficiently. Its 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD enables faster boot times. Need more storage? There are two Thunderbolt 4 ports so you can connect a Thunderbolt-compatible external drive for fast data transfer rates. The 15.6" display features a Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio, powered by a dedicated NVIDIA Quadro T500 graphics card with 4 GB GDDR6 VRAM. You can also output to an external display via HDMI 1.4 or DisplayPort 1.2 (via Thunderbolt 4).

Staying connected is equally as important as portability and performance. Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) provides higher data rates and improved power efficiency over its predecessor, Wi-Fi 5. Wireless networks utilizing Wi-Fi 6 also have improved performance with more connected devices, thanks to its ability to utilize 8x8 MU-MIMO technology. Don't forget to use Bluetooth 5.0 to connect wirelessly to accessories and peripherals, such as a mouse or a presentation tool.

While portability, performance, and connectivity are all important, HP didn't forget about security. Aside from the traditional password login, you can unlock your Firefly with the 720p IR camera that supports facial recognition via Windows Hello. The webcam even has an integrated shutter that you can use to physically block the camera, which protects you from malicious surveillance.

Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) is the installed operating system and it includes all the features of Windows 10 Home plus many designed specifically for business users, including Hyper-V virtualization, BitLocker disk encryption, and remote desktop access. Devices will also be able to join domains and Azure Active Directory, and they can even access a specialized version of the Windows Store featuring custom, company-specific apps.
