Sorry to hear of your troubles @Ondrej.

The OLED screen on the Fury in fantastic. I have had the Dreamcolor display on the G5 and the OLED outclasses it. 

I have the white backlit keyboard and I was regretting not getting the RGB keyboard. Glad I didn't.

So much for the cool 'Z' branding being replaced by 'HP' thanks to Russia's use of 'Z' during their invasion of Ukraine. I covered my ZBook's lid with a skin to hide the 'Z' anyway, so...

I am thinking about buying Fury G9, anyone tried playing games on it ? Is it worth to go for Quadro RTX A4500/ A5500 version or A3000 is enough ?

As to gaming: yes, you can. I have played Cyberpunk 2077 and Hogwart's Legacy on it set to ultra with an A5500. Frame rates are 60 - 100 on a 3440 x 1440p monitor. That said, the A3000 will be enough for most games. My previous laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad P17 Gen 2) had an RTX 3000 and it did just fine. 

Thank you so much for that script @Aaron44126! That makes it easier to manage.

Thanks for the pointers @vooze. S0 sleep seems to work okay on my HP, but not so the Dell. I have it network disconnected as well, but the laptop still sometimes feels warm after sleep and the battery is drained. Sigh. Thank you again for your help.

Pretty sure Intel also killed S3 sleep in all newer CPUs, but yes, S3 is gone in 7680 etc.

Confirmed, no S3 sleep in Precision 7560 or Precision 7770 here.  Attempts to force it back on have not been successful.  (You can edit BIOS variables and Windows will show it as an option, but it still won't work right.)

Sorry for the delay in getting back. Thank you so much for your responses! Oh boy. So, do you shut off your laptops while transporting in your bags, then? Or hibernate them? 

A question about Optimus, if I may: when using your workstation with an external display the dGPU is active, however, upon unplugging it remains active with multiple apps running on the dGPU. This depletes the battery very fast. I normally have to deactivate the dGPU and reactivate it in device manager. Is there any other way around this inconvenience?

Needless to say, the M1/2 Apple laptops don't have these inconveniences. Sigh.

Hey folks, just a query: do the Dell Precision 7000 series force use of Windows Modern Standby and remove S3 sleep from the BIOS? I bought a Precision 3470 as a backup to my HP ZBook 16 Fury G9 and I have been appalled by Modern Standby overheating the laptop and killing the battery while sleeping. Disabling Modern Standby in the registry removes the ability to sleep the laptop completely. Thanks in advance for any input. 

Just an update: HP replaced both the motherboard and trackpad on my unit. It has solved all of the issues I was having. I haven't noticed screen flickering at any point since getting the unit.

You probably just got a lemon. Happens. I had 5-6 RMA Issues back on M4800, zero with Zbook G1 🙂 But it is true that the HP service just does not compare to Dell, thats a whole different league.

 

Anyways, my contact in HP just responded after holiday slumber, I will have this configuration for a review:

Oh my! 6 RMAs. Okay, thank you: I feel a little better now. Sorry you had to go through that. Yeah, reading through the forum gives me the impression that Dell support seems really good. 

I look forward to your review. Interested to know if the fans are annoying. The fans are on my unit, but I sort of just live with it. My unit has same specs as the one you will be reviewing save for the RAM and graphics (64GB and A5500 on mine, respectively).

Thanks for the support.

Just giving everyone a heads up that HP has a serious part backorder situation regarding the Fury. I have been waiting 6 weeks for a motherboard replacement from HP (I'm in the Latin America and the Caribbean zone). HP won't even acknowledge my latest request to replace the machine. 

In the past I owned the Dell Precision M6600, M6800, HP ZBook 17 G5, Lenovo's P51, P53, P17 Gen 2 prior to the ZBook 16 Fury G9. This the first time I have experienced a hardware failure. Other than the motherboard issues I began experiencing, it is a great machine. HP service, not so much.

As the system is prone to random freezes I cannot work on it. I'm currently using it to play Cyberpunk 2077 (RTX A5500). Ironically, I had to order a Dell Precision mobile workstation to do my work on in the meantime. 

Needless to say, this has not been money well spent.
