HP ZBook Fury 15 G8 Mobile Workstation (2021)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
ZBook Fury 15 G8 is the most powerful 15.6-inch mobile workstation in HP's 2021 ZBook lineup. It offers a range of improvements over the G7 model while keeping the exact same design.
The ZBook Fury 15 G8 is powered by 11th-gen Intel Tiger Lake CPU up to i9-11950H or Xeon W-11955M and NVIDIA or AMD Radeon Pro graphics up to NVIDIA RTX A5000 with 16GB GDDR6 or AMD Radeon Pro W6600M with 8GB GDDR6: While no Quadro card is on offer, the Radeon Pro card is a notable improvement over last year's option.
With these changes, the Fury 15 G8 now uses DDR4-3200 memory in both ECC and non-ECC guises. The Thunderbolt ports are upgraded to Thunderbolt 4.
On the display front, the 4K display now delivers 100% DCI-P3 coverage, and a touch option is available, too. The latter is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
As before, HP's 2021 ZBook lineup (G8) powered by 11th-gen Intel processors also include a 17.3-inch sister model of the Fury 15 G8.

Reviewer score 77%Fury 15 G8 is about 10 to 20 percent faster than the Quadro RTX 5000 Max-Q in the older Fury 15 G7. Certain sub-benchmarks within SpecViewPerf can even see a 40 to 50 percent improvement. Users will see marginal-to-moderate gains from both the latest generation CPU and GPU while maintaining the same AC adapter.

Reviewer score 80%The HP ZBook Fury 15 G8's DreamColor display is about the best laptop screen we've ever laid eyes on. It was right in the thick of it on our Photoshop test; its competitive performance and sharp, vivid screen make it a fine choice for Photoshop pros. If you want the fastest laptop workstation you can buy, we'd recommend the Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 2.
