The release is the latest in a number of moves made by HP to appeal to enterprise users. In February, it announced the “world’s thinnest” 14-inch laptop and workstation aimed at improving flexibility, battery life, and security for business professionals.
The ZBook Studio x360 G5 also features the world’s brightest 4K laptop display–20% brighter than the Apple MacBook Pro, and 50% brighter than Dell XPS, according to the product page.
The machine is 15.6″ wide and 20.4 mm thick. It weighs just under 5 pounds, according to the product page. The 360-degree hinge design allows the machine to transition from laptop to tablet to display mode as well.
The ZBook Studio x360 5G includes a host of other features, such as Windows 10 Pro, and IR camera for facial recognition, and dual Thunderbolt 3 ports. The battery can last up to 16 hours, and recharge 50% in just 30 minutes, according to the product page–a benefit for business travelers.
HP also announced the ZBook x2, dubbed “the world’s most powerful detachable PC,” as well as the ZBook17 G5, the ZBook 15 G5, the ZBook 15v G5, and the DreamColor Z27x G2 Studio Display.
The ZBooks will ship in May, the release noted. The HP ZBook Studio x360 G5 will start at $1,300. You can see more pricing information here.
