Is it a workstation or a powerful Ultrabook?

HP makes some beautiful premium laptops — just look at the Spectre lineup — alongside a wide range of other products, like gaming desktops, portable 2-in-1s, and workstations. The last in that list doesn't exactly sound like it's something sexy, but HP has attempted to bridge the gap between premium and workhorse with the ZBook 15u G5.

It's the thinnest and lightest device in the Z workstation lineup, so you can expect some performance compromises while also meeting requirements for design software and hitting targets for security and ease of use. Let's take a look at what you can expect from the ZBook 15u, and whether or not it's the right laptop for you.
