Is this thing really powered over TB3? The pictures show a pretty thick cable coming out of that area of the computer. But I also maybe see a barrel connector so maybe the ZBook dock has a two in one connector? I haven't really looked to hard on the internet. Pretty impressive it looks to me. I bought my first HP, the x360, and I am very impressed by their 2 in 1 design. This looks like a killer machine and dare I say almost perfect. I know the price will be massive but people will pay it for a high quality machine.

 

I think it has a Pin Barrel there at the rear. Doesn't mean that it isn't compatible with thunderbolt charging.

What has me interested is the 600 cd/m² Dreamcolor screen. Will wait for reports of lightbleed levels before I get excited though. Even the 650 cd/m² 1080p screen would be interesting... Never heard of "Sure View"

There is a recently expired 40% off HP workstations Coupon HPWORK40, and a current 25% off coupon WKSTCNET25, it will expire shortly. But the point is they hand these coupons out like candy several times a year.

 

Update: Release Date of "May" and starting price of $1500 (puts it in direct pricing competition with Dell XPS 2 in 1 on the low end at least)

 

Looks really nice, wish it also had an optional consumer level video card (1050 ti or 1060 max q). It is a nice looking machine though and would be great for anyone doing actual work on it.

 

It seems to view an activated privacy filter for the screen.

According to the reviewer from Windows Central, battery life takes a 20% hit when activated.
