"HP ZBooks are synonymous with power, which is why ITPro has reviewed a handful of machines in this lineup so favourably - if all guns blazing performance is what you're looking for, you'd be hard-pressed to look any further. That's because these machines look good and feel great to use, too, thanks to the engineering prowess the manufacturer has shown in building this family of workstations."
"On the slimmer side of this family is the new HP ZBook 8 G1ak 14, a more portable AMD-powered 14-inch alternative to the typically large and boisterous desktop replacements like the excellent HP ZBook Power G11 or the HP ZBook X G1i models. But does its more slender frame mean it's any less punchy? It's crucial to consider, especially given that ZBooks tend to be fairly expensive."
"You can immediately see from the look and feel of this laptop that it means business - ditching the features you'd usually find in an ultraportable for a thicker frame. We are fully on board with the high-end build quality (including MIL-STD testing) and premium feel of its aluminum chassis, which is finished in a sharp Meteor Silver color. It's as if the 16-inch version of the HP ZBook had been miniaturized very elegantly."
The HP ZBook 8 G1ak 14 is an AMD-powered 14-inch workstation that prioritizes performance and build quality over ultralight portability. The laptop uses a premium aluminum chassis with MIL-STD testing and a Meteor Silver finish, offering a substantial but still portable 3.17 lb (1.44 kg) weight and 0.74 in (18.9 mm) thickness. The 14-inch IPS display provides a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution at about 216 ppi and sits within plastic bezels. The design omits some ultraportable features in favor of a thicker, more robust frame, and pricing sits toward the higher end of the market.
