As we mention in our HP ZBook Studio G8 review, this workstation is sleek, lightweight and powerful. We rate it 4.5 out of 5-stars for its overall and gaming performance. It's the Editor's Choice workstation laptop. 

In one test, we hit it with 51 Google Chrome tabs — six of which were playing YouTube videos. For good measure, we began typing away in Google Doc with Capture One running in the background. The ZBook Studio G8 kept on plugging with no signs of slowing down. Though our review unit had an Intel Core i9-11950H CPU with 32 of RAM, we expect multitasking with the laptop in this deal to be on par.

Connectivity-wise, the HP ZBook Studio G8 equips you a nice selection. You get 1 x Mini DisplayPort 1.4, 1 x USB Type-A port, 2 x USB4 Type-C ports (Power Delivery, DisplayPort 1.4). There's also an SD card reader and headphone/microphone combo jack built-in.
