    These new models announced at CES are now appearing on HP's website.

    HP ZBook 14 G2 Quick Specs (PDF)
    HP ZBook 15u G2 Quick Specs (PDF)

    Prices look like $1,200 on the low end for both and around $2k for the fully optioned models with the i7. No touch options on the 15u unlike the 14 G2. Graphics on the 14 G2 are AMD FirePro M4150 1GB and the 15u G2 gets an M4170 1GB. If the naming convention means anything, probably not much faster than the M4100 in the ZBook 14 G1.

    I don't see any advantage to the 15u over the 14 save for the larger display.

    Its a bit weird because the model selling at 1499 dollar is even cheaper than Zbook 14 G1 with a similar but one generation older spec.

    I think it is early to see a price change in the previous generation models.
