I can assure you that the MSRP is real, and that a nonzero number of businesses purchased units at that price.

That's more of a condemnation of the sad state of business laptops than anything else, of course — screens like this should be reserved for $300 entry level models. But here we are.

250 nits should be outlawed. How are not advancing in laptops...still...to move past 250 nits even for base models.

I use 14" Z book at work (i7, 32GB, dedicated GPU). This MSRP is in line with what we see when ordered internally, and corporate are paying this price. These are really well built, and performs well.

This is a business line laptop focusing on office work, built quality and security. It comes with 3 years warranty and get firmware update frequently. I'm using a Zbook in the last 3 years at work and it is great, MSRP is what corporate usually pays for.

Also, remember that this is a Zbook, as opposed to a Elitebook or a Probook. The Zbook generally also has a professional Quadro or Radeon Pro certified GPU to allow Solid Modeling work. Probooks are budget business laptops that are kind of midgrade consumer or better. Elitebooks are nearly all metal bodies and upper grade consumer or better. Nearly all of them are a lot more upgradable or fixable than consumer laptops of equivalent street prices. I've personally bought nearly new but used Elitebooks over equivalent Pavillion or other consumer laptops and much prefer them. They won't have weak hinges or laughably small batteries.

I picked one of these up today. My wife needed a business laptop with a good camera as she'll be doing a lot of teleconferencing. This machine has far and away the best camera for the price among the floor models at microcenter. Also has a full-size keyboard with backlight and num pad. All the creature comforts she wanted at a good price.
