HP's ZBook Studio 16 G10 impresses with a robust build, powerful config options, and a gorgeous screen. It's a versatile choice for pro workstation grunt to go, but brief battery life, a ho-hum webcam, missing ports, and a sky-high price temper our enthusiasm.
A more compact redesign rules out Nvidia's top-of-the-line RTX 4080 and 4090, but Alienware's m16 R2 delivers rock-solid gaming with a premium feel at a good price.
