So this is the cooling system, I think it's not vapor chamber due to it's thinness, but I might be wrong, as I've never seen one. The 2 charging typeC's on the back seem to be on a different board, which is better than nothing, I guess; the one on the left side is directly on the motherboard, so I would suggest avoiding it. One quirk ot TPFanControl is that, after a rendering, the fans remain at higher speed indefinitely, and need to be switched to BIOS mode and back to Smart to settle down. Other than that, if you have any questions, just ask.

So, I replaced the thermal compound with PTM7950, installed TPFanControl and enabled Power Mode "Best Power Efficiency" (it appeared after some drivers update, I think?), and, sitting on desk, in Stable Video Diffusion Generation it goes to about 76 degrees, with memory to 82 degrees, it draws about 60W and the fans at about 3100rpm's. The screen is without PWM, it came with some factory calibrated profiles. The sound is very good, compared with my ZBook G3 (maybe on par with ZBook G6, wich was better than the G8 I have), you can hear the instruments more separated and clear, it's way better. The latencies are not the best right now, but the BIOS version is just at 1.1 and so I guess are the drivers. No undervolting. For video editing it is the best choice, 4K 10bit 4:2:2 are not a problem, similar to mac's, maybe even better. Peronal preference, i liked way better the power adapter plug on the ZBooks; it could be twisted and rotated in any direction, even if bumped in it would just disconnect, and the interios plug was connected to the motherboard via a cable. This one has 3 type-C's, 2 on the back and one on the left and you can choose wichever you want to charge. But they are soldered into the motherboard (yeey for European Community 🤢🤮). The keyboard and touchpad are very good, but on ZBooks they were not bad either (I miss the 6 bottons touchpad in 3D softwres navigation). I'm not a gamer and I'm not interested in top extra fps's, I rather prefer silence, stability and low heat on long renders, so that is how I / it can be configured (I'm keeping the CPU limited to 30W in ThrottleStop). The thing is that the cooling solution seemed to me more like classic heatpipes rather that vapor chamber, but I was not inspired to take pictured when I opened it. Maybe I'll do later. For what I tested, it surpassed my desktop with i7 10700 and GeForce RTX 3070Ti in both CPU and GPU, by about 10%. As I said, having 76 degrees and 82 on memory, with PTM7950 and not stock compound, I wouldn't want any higher power graphics, unless puttining earbuds on 😆. Onestly I had better expectations from the cooling, which has bigger air gap at the back and vapor chamber; it's not bad at all, the air sound iw more constant and nicer to hearing, but weirdly it does not surpass ZBooks G3-G8. Curious about the new 3 fan config on G1i. The weght is just like ZBook 15 G3. Overall I like it very much, it looks, feels, works like a powerhouse that it is, and I kinda recommend it!😊 Wish it was easier on the eyes, (it's not by far bad as others, but that might be from OS/drivers/SW counterpart - dithering and color enhancements 🤢)

I have the one with Core Ultra 7 265HX and RTX PRO 3000 and 1920x1200 IPS screen. Just bought it, today is the first day of using it. It is silent in idle and browsing, but in Blender Cycles GPU it can get pretty loud. I heard there is a profile that was supposed to be quiet even in full load, but I can't find such thing. I would like to clamp the TDP of the GPU, but I don't know how; for processor I use the latest beta thrtottlestop. The undervolting is locked. I appologise, as I have little free time now, but if you have any questions feel free to ask. I intent to repaste it with Kryonaut.

I would say the chances to be a sticker on a flat surface a lower than 1% IMHO, as it has never been the case until now, not on ZBooks and not even on 8560/70w (in those times it was actually emitting light)

Their panels are lalebel as "Eye Safe". Has anyone tested them for at leat PWM, or temporal dithering? Can anyone post any subjetctive opinion of how easy are they with eyes and nervous system?

Can anyone who has it tell if they can be undervolted? Or share some opinions in therms of noise?

As a long time HP Elitebook 8560/Zbook user, seems like the new trend is P16 gen 3: https://thinkstation-specs.com/thinkpad/p16-gen-3/ As it seems to have 3 m.2 slots now and full sized 2.5Gbit pot... HP just keeps on putting blocks and barriers like fan control, UV, keyboard replace, only HP screens!!!, whitelists, and adding AI cooling, just being an adversary instead of a partner. I bought my first 8560w piece by piece and assembled and was AMAZED by it, with it's peak being the Zbook 15 G3, used in space station, the best laptop ever made!!! Dead silent in full load with UV and Fan Control, excellent sound, keyboard, trackpad, chasis, 3D Drive Guard (tested! :))) ), everything was unparalelled, it can be used in every single domain a PC can be used, with all the ports needed and even more. I exchange my keyboard about every 2 year, due to work and it's a breeze. I can do video editing and 3D navigation in video production softwares just by using the 6 button touchpad with very high speed. It even runs Houdini like a champ with 3 SSD-s and 64 RAM, does not know what bluescreen is, crashes are just to remind to change the outfit as a season has passed (from a 9 year old computer, shame on you, the rest!)! Then they started the downhill, probably just like M$ after W8.1, might said something like "we beat ourselves, now let's just crappify it!" - so barrier after barrier, bad decision one after another. When I bought the G6 it could do undervolt and fan control, but after bios update not only they stopped, but couldn even go back. They made sure of that. Spent 2 years trying to find a full dump of 01.02.02 until gave up on it and sent it away. With the G8 Fury, what to say... I picked it in favor of G9 just because of the still easy removable keyboard, but when they named Fury they probably meant for the noise and the fury of the user being blocked to fully utilise his asset. So, yeah, after more that 10 years of being an HP fanboy, as they don't seem to be be on the right track anymore and don't seem to want that, I think it's time to say "P16! This whole thread was just a loong waiting for something that did not come"
