Our Verdict
Dell Precision 5690 (2024)
HP ZBook Power G11 A (2024)
The Dell Precision 5690 (2024) is a better Windows workstation than the HP ZBook Power G11 A (2024). It offers a better user experience overall with a larger haptic touchpad, better-sounding speakers, and a more premium-feeling chassis. Also, it offers a wider range of CPU and GPU configurations, so it'll scale up or down well depending on your needs. One place the HP has the edge over the Dell is in displays. There are a lot of options, and while most are FHD+ displays, there is a high-refresh-rate QHD+ panel that gets significantly brighter than any of the Dell's options. There are also options for cellar connectivity, so if you need to use your laptop in remote locations for work, the HP may be the better choice.
