| Linux support | Linux runs on this laptop, with something not working. “I've upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS and everything is broken... I am running Kubuntu on HP Zbook Firefly 14 G7 since previous codename, but this jammy... First of all there isn't normal update center for other drivers in so called "Discover". And Discover window was freezing for me! I had also problems with YT and Twitch stopping in playing...”linux.org, checked 6 September 2026. | Linux runs on this laptop. “And using my standard productivity apps alongside those VMs has never been problematic.”thurrott.com, checked 6 September 2026. |
| Soldered RAM | The RAM is soldered and cannot be upgraded. “Only the RAM is soldered and can't be upgraded; this means that you have to pay attention to getting the right amount of memory before buying the laptop.”notebookcheck.net, checked 6 September 2026. | The RAM is soldered and cannot be upgraded. “The dGPU-enabled laptops come with soldered memory (but luckily it can be in dual-channel mode) so you have to be careful when you’re configuring this kind of device – the maximum supported memory capacity is 32GB of DDR4-3200MHz.”laptopmedia.com, checked 6 September 2026. |
| Screen quality | Reviewers rate this screen poorly. “The surface in particular leads to a much less viewing-angle stable panel than we are used to from IPS panels even when Sure View is deactivated. It almost has a TN feeling to it.”notebookcheck.net, checked 6 September 2026. | Reviewers rate this screen well. “The display (LGD06F1) has a good contrast ratio, it doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment, its viewing angles are comfortable, and the only cons are the narrow color coverage which comes with inaccurate colors.”laptopmedia.com, checked 6 September 2026. |
