Although the zBook 15 is a mobile workstation, it is not a laptop to lug around often. Measuring 1.2 by 15 by 10.1 inches (HWD) and weighs 6.2 pounds, it is a big bully notebook, meant to pack the power of a desktop workstation with slightly more portable form factor.

The keyboard features a full aluminum deck, and spill resistance with built in drain that funnels the fluid out of the laptop and away from sensitive components. Even the glass surface of the display and touchpad get wrinkle treatment, a chemically strengthened glass to prevent scratching.

The keyboard is full-sized, with a numeric pad and bright backlight. The chiclet keys are well spaced, and provide a solid feel during typing. Thanks to the aluminum deck, no flexing or bowing felt, even when typing with gusto. The touchpad is wide and smooth to the touch thanks to its glass surface. It has three button design, with right and left click joined by a scroll button. Like most work stations, the zBook 15 May design dual-pointer, with pointstick set in the middle of the keyboard. The bulge has a rubbery texture, concave tip, which provides excellent traction for a fingertip.
