connectivity,
professionals can take their work with them wherever they travel. Such a capable system paired with a power supply to
provide all of the support it needs often makes the system a hefty load to carry, but the exibility in conguring an HP
ZBook 17 G2 Mobile Workstation allows the user to select a smaller, lighter power brick.
Function of the power supply
The function of the external power supply is to convert the 120V or 240V AC power, depending on the country, from a
wall outlet into DC current. The workstation only pulls as much power from the landline as it needs at the time to run all
of the components and applications. Power supply units have an eciency rating, stated as a percentage of power the
machine uses out of total power pulled from the source.
Traditionally, HP ZBooks ship with the two power supply options to best meet the demands of a fully loaded machine
running an intense workload. Many users, however, do not fully utilize the CPU and GPU while on maximum screen
brightness simultaneously. Instead, they use their mobile workstation for work ows with fewer power demands. Users
like this end up carrying around the extra weight of a larger power supply. With a lower watt power option, users are able
to save themselves the size and weight while taking their mobile workstation wherever their passion leads them.
