HP 4NH72UT Smart Buy Zbook 15V G5 E2176M

Powerful machine for everyday use.Some of the features it came with:- RAM 16GB DDR4 2667 MHz (installed 2X8GB uses all the 2 slots, upgrade-able to 32GB DDR4 but in case of upgrade it will require replacement of existing ones, no spare slot is present)- Intel Processor with 6 physical cores 12 virtual cores (2.70 GHz base speed - 4.4 GHz top turbo speed)- 256GB M.2 NVMe PCIe Internal SSD (this SSD is approx. 6x faster than normal SSD, approx. 21x faster than normal HDD, can be replaced with up to 1TB M.2 NVMe )- It has an extra empty space for one (Internal) 2.5-inches SATA Hard Drive ( SSD or HDD ), and connector for SSD/HDD was present in the box as well (even screws for installing 2.5-inches SATA drive were included), so one can easily add 2.5'' SATA drive in order to extend storage capacity.- Card Reader Slot- Fingerprint Sensor for logging in (square one - no need to move finger, just touch)- Camera supports Face Recognition for logging in- Touch screen- Windows 10 Pro x64 is preinstalled (Genuine Windows logo also present on the bottom side of the laptop)- HP drivers/tools preinstalled- 150W power supply, 100-240V, power adapter is kind of thin and nice looking, with a pretty long cable from power adapter to laptop, but relatively short cable from power adapter to wall (this part is removable and can be easily replaced if desired)Cons:- Obviously such a powerful CPU + GPU combination need a lot of cooling, so it has not only one, but 2 powerful fans , and unfortunately the 2 fans are audible even during a minimal workload, fans never go silent, and they get more noisy when laptop deals with heavy tasks. However, this is normal for a laptop with this much horse power under the hood.- Battery is not replaceable by standard user, so far it is not problem until the original battery works well. Hopefully it's battery has a long life span.Overall it is very fast for a day to day tasks, thanks to a combination of CPU with 4.4 GHz top speed, fast DDR4 RAM, fast M.2 NVMe internal SSD storage, and dedicated NVIDIA Quadro graphics card with 4GB memory on it's own.Flexible storage (spare internal 2.5'' SATA slot for easily adding additional storage) is a nice bonus feature.

After 1 year of purchase I notice the crack on the lid, right where the hinge is, I am very carefull with this computer and electical devices so I know it was not due to an accident or a bad practice. It is evident that the hinge mechanism is not good because this was caused by the act of opening and closing the screen (again, I do this every time very carefully). The hinge is too strong for the lid/screen material or the lid is too weak for the hinge. Also the frame of the screen detached from the screen itself somehow, I have never seen this hapening in a laptop. I tried to contact the vendor but never had response. Bad luck for me.The performance is good enough for rendering, image editing and so on and the desing is very nice but the hardware is not good. Now the battery only last 1 hour at the most. I wouldn't buy again.
