This HP ZBook 17 G6 is a true mobile workstation, built for demanding professional workloads rather than casual use. With a 6-core Intel Core i7 processor, a substantial 32GB of RAM, dual NVMe storage, and an NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 GPU, this machine is designed for users who need sustained performance, reliability, and certified professional graphics.
It’s large, powerful, and unapologetically built for work rather than portability.

Condition & refurbishment
This laptop has been fully tested, cleaned, and prepared for use.
There are cosmetic signs of previous use, including scratches and scuffs to the casing. There is a sticker shadow imprint on the right front corner of the palm rest, and the keyboard shows visible wear consistent with professional use.
 
Under sustained heavy load, the left cooling fan becomes noticeably noisy, which is common on high-performance workstations managing thermal demand.
Please note: this is a non-touchscreen model.

Drivers and optimisation are geared toward stability and accuracy, not maximum frame rates.
