SOFTRAID REVIEW UPGRADE
There’s also a tool-less access lock, a brilliant idea, so you can get in and upgrade if you need to. You can see the fans through the vent, and this thing needs that big vent and fans. The bottom of the laptop is boring with a substantial vent for cooling. The laptop’s lid has the Z logo instead of the HP logo, which I think was a good choice now that those angled cuts are gone, the Z logo helps define it and gives it a personality. I’m not sure why they did this, and while it doesn’t look bad, I liked that angled cut as it gave the laptop a distinct personality. HP has removed the angular cuts towards the back of the laptop, making this more like other laptops now. I’ve always enjoyed the look of HP’s ZBook series, and the HP ZBook Fury G8 hasn’t changed much in a few years. 2021 HP ZBook Fury G8 17.3″ mobile workstation.Price As Confiured Before HP Online Savings: US$9,956 What’s In The Box.Keyboard: Backlit with function key row, number pad, and Dual Point Stick.Security: Fingerprint reader and Windows Hello.Networking: Intel® AX201 Wi-Fi 6 (2×2) and Bluetooth® 5 Combo, vPro.Display: 17.3″ diagonal UHD LED UWVA Anti-Glare DreamColor HDR-400 for HD Webcam Ambient Light Sensor (3840×2160)(550 Nits).Storage: 1 TB PCIe-3×4 2280 NVMe TLC SSD.GPU: NVIDIA RTX™ A5000 Graphics (16 GB GDDR6).
SOFTRAID REVIEW PRO

The Fury line is also meant to be the powerhouse line for HP, with its performance focused on creative and business professionals.

The HP ZBook Fury G8 17.3″ is meant to be a mobile workstation with ports that other laptops do not have anymore. I missed the chance to review the G7 follow-up in 2020, but the new HP ZBook Fury G8 17.3″ did make it to my doorstep and it is much improved over the 2019 G6. Mainly the size, weight, hideous bezels, and giant display. Apple silicon (M1) Macs require macOS 11.3 or later.In 2019, I reviewed the ZBook 17 G6, which was a great device but had a few drawbacks.
