A quote from the article:
The HP ZBook Studio mobile workstation (starting at $1,699, about £1,118, AU$2,400) is the perfect compromise between style and performance. Unlike mobile workstations of the past, which were heavy, ugly and really only meant to be transported when necessary, the Studio blends consumer-level style with business-class performance. This 15.6-inch laptop competes with devices like the Lenovo ThinkPad P50. Both notebooks feature 4K displays, Intel Xeon processors and Nvidia Quadro Graphics, which means you're running top-of-the-line visuals with optimal processing and graphics performance. Unfortunately for Lenovo, the Studio is a lighter and thinner device that looks and feels a lot cooler. DesignThe Studio is only 0.7 inches (18mm) thick and 4.4 pounds (1.9kg), which is about 0.3 inches thinner and 1.2 pounds lighter than the P50. This isn't exactly light, especially if you're comparing it to consumer laptops. However, for a mobile workstation, this is an excellent size. In fact, it's less than a pound heavier than the Surface Book and the same weight as the 15-inch MacBook Pro, neither of which comes with a Xeon processor or more than 1TB of storage. The laptop is built with a black, studded aluminum and magnesium chassis that is a pleasure to touch. You won't notice any fingerprints or smudges when you handle this device, which can't be said about the stain-heavy P50.
