In addition to that, processors like the mobile Xeon are reserved for high end multi-thousand-dollar mobile workstations like the Zbook, Precision and P series; not entry level models like the 15-p. These things need a Xeon capable PCH and are often as thick as the old Pentium 4 laptops from the WinXP era and have the cooling to match due to the TDP of the CPUs and GPUs they use.[br]

Yes, the performance of a Zbook with a Xeon/AMD FirePro (ISV certified Radeon) is a huge step in the high end, but you’re gonna pay for it new, and to a degree used. Personally, I’d LOVE to take home a 4K (95% sRGB or DCI-P3) Xeon/FirePro Zbook 15/17 (I’d be able to go either way, but 17>15. It's a brick no matter what, so go all in and go Zbook 17) at EliteBook pricing too, but it isn’t easy — it’s gonna have a problem like an unknown BIOS password at those prices.

In addition, processors like the mobile Xeon are reserved for high-end, multi-thousand-dollar mobile workstations like the Zbook, Precision, and P series, not entry-level models like the 15-p. The processors need a PCH that is Xeon compatible and tend to be as thick and heavy as many laptops from when they were crazy enough to put a Pentium 4 in a laptop. Yes, they are that thick and heavy due to having much greater TDP ratings than any HQ Core i series or Ryzen laptop.[br]

Yes, the performance of a Zbook with an Xeon/AMD FirePro (ISV-certified Radeon) is MUCH more capable, but you’re going to pay for it, new or used. I’d LOVE to take home a ZBook 15 or 17 with the 4K 95% sRGB/DCI-P3 display for the price of an EliteBook, but most of them need a lot of work or have unknown BIOS passwords that may or may not be crackable at the time of purchase.
