Great! A non-Mac 15" laptop without the numberpad. I could buy it instead of a new ZBook from HP only because of that. I could finally place the laptop straight in front of me instead of shifting it to the right.

However it's capped at 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD. That's a pity because I'm already at 32 GB / 2 TB. Maybe they'll increase the limit for Gen 3. ZBooks maxed out at 128 GB this year.

The prebuilt models currently listed have 32 GB.

The previous gen lists 64 GB, so just wait a bit for more models and configurable options to be listed.

I feel the same way about numpads on laptops. I also have the same sentiment for 16x9 displays. Until I get up to about 27" I always want more vertical real estate.
