HP 15u G3 Overview

Thin at 0.78" and weighing 4.18 lb, the 15.6" ZBook 15u G3 Mobile Workstation from HP delivers workstation performance and long battery life within a compact mobile form factor. This system is powered by a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7-6500U Dual-Core processor which allows you to run multiple applications simultaneously. If you need more power, the system can be overclocked to 3.1 GHz using Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology. The 8GB of 2133 MHz DDR4 RAM helps to ensure smooth multitasking and also allows the computer to quickly access frequently-used files and programs.

The 15.6" SVA Twisted Nematic anti-glare display is a touchscreen which supports the multi-touch gestures incorporated into Windows 10 Pro. The display is backed by a Full HD 1920 x 1080 native resolution, LED-backlighting, a 16:9 aspect ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, a refresh rate of 60 Hz, and 142 ppi. The dedicated AMD FirePro W4190M graphics card has 2GB of discrete GDDR5 RAM and delivers a sharp, clear picture. You'll also be able to output video to an external display at resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 using the system's DisplayPort and VGA ports.

For long term storage of your files, this ZBook 15u G3 is equipped with a 256GB Z Turbo Drive PCIe SSD that uses MLC-type NAND and an NVMe interface. While the SSD may not have the larger storage capacity of a traditional spinning hard drive, it contains no moving parts which helps it to be more resistant against bumps, drops, and other kinds of damage. SSDs also receive less wear and tear than traditional hard drives, as they don't have any read and write heads. Additionally, as this SSD connects via PCIe as compared to SATA, it is able to operate with even greater data transfer speeds. It provides sequential reads up to 1.08 GB/s and sequential writes up to 800 MB/s.

If you want to add external storage, optical drives, memory card readers, and more, the ZBook 15u G3 offers three USB 3.0 ports, one of which doubles as a charging port. Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11ac dual-band Wi-Fi are built-in for wired and wireless networking and Bluetooth 4.2 technology will also allow you to connect additional compatible peripherals. So that content from memory cards may be accessed, a built-in SD/SDHC/SDXC card reader supports UHS-II flash media and lets users download content from their digital camera. Other integrated features include a 720p webcam, dual-array microphones, stereo speakers with Bang & Olufsen HD audio, and a smart card reader.

The ZBook 15u G3 includes a 65W Slim Smart AC adapter that operates using 100-240 VAC at 47-63 Hz and an HP Long Life 3-cell / 46Wh Lithium-ion Polymer battery that can typically be recharged in 3 hours, regardless of whether the system is off or in standby mode. While the installed operating system is Windows 7 Professional (64-bit), a Windows 10 Professional (64-bit) license is included at no additional cost.

Up to 32GB Memory
While this system natively includes 8GB of RAM in a 1 x 8GB configuration, it can be upgraded to a maximum of 32GB when 16GB memory modules are used in each of the system's 260-pin SO-DIMM slots
External Displays
Users may output video to an external display using either the DisplayPort or VGA port. The DisplayPort is compatible with Multi-stream Transport technology and supports resolutions up to Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz and color depths of 24/30-bit, as well as resolutions of WUXGA 1920 x 1200 @ 120 Hz and color depths of 24/30-bit.

Start Menu
After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items
Cortana
Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills
Microsoft Edge
After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser
Windows Store
For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically
Windows Continuum
Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well
Xbox on Windows 10
Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift
Windows 10 Pro
The Pro version of Windows 10 includes all of the features of Windows 10 Home plus many designed specifically for businesses users, including Hyper-V virtualization, BitLocker disk encryption, and remote desktop access. Devices will also be able to join domains and the Azure Active Directory, and they can even access a specialized version of the Windows Store featuring custom, company-specific applications
