The HP ZBook Firefly 16 is HP's thin-and-light mobile workstation, built for engineers, developers, and creative professionals who need workstation-grade certifications in a laptop that still travels well. Spanning the G9 (2022), G10 (2023), and G11 (2024) generations, it pairs Intel processors with ISV-certified NVIDIA graphics options, a rarity at this weight class. Because HP sells these through business and enterprise channels, they tend to arrive on the used market in good physical shape, with plenty of remaining service life for a second owner. That afterlife is exactly what keeps resale demand steady across all three generations. Pick your generation, processor, graphics, and condition in the picker above for a live cash offer, and see how the process works if you want the shipping and payment details before you commit. If you sell laptops for a living or just have one sitting in a drawer, this is a model worth checking against the list below.

Confirm you have the ZBook Firefly 16

The fastest way to confirm your exact model and configuration is Windows itself. Press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter. The System Model field will show the full HP product name, and System Summary will list your installed processor. You can also flip the laptop over and read the serial and product number sticker on the underside, then match it against the lists below.

G9 (2022)

  • Product numbers: 6Q3X7UT, 6Q3Y2UT, 6Q3Y4UT, 6Q3Y5UT
  • Also seen as: 68G21AW, 7F5P3US
  • Intel 12th Gen processors

G10 (2023)

  • Product numbers: 942U3UC, 942U3UC#ABA, 82P37AV
  • Also seen as: 7Z1A7UT, 86M32UT, 7Z1B3UT, 7Z1B0UT, 86M36UT
  • Intel 13th Gen processors

G11 (2024)

  • Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 1)
  • Check msinfo32 or the base sticker for your exact product number
  • Newest chassis revision of the Firefly 16 line

Prefer a visual check? G9 and G10 units share a very similar dark chassis and port layout, so the sticker is more reliable than looks alone. G11 units carry a Core Ultra badge near the keyboard deck. If the underside label is worn, dxdiag under the Display tab will still confirm the system model.

Core hardware configurations

  • Storage is NVMe SSD across all three generations
  • A discrete GPU and larger SSD both move resale value, more than RAM alone

Display & audio

16-inch display, offered in Non-Touch and Touchscreen versions. Touchscreen units carry a glass finish and typically weigh slightly more than the Non-Touch panel.

Dual speakers tuned for conference calls and everyday media, with a combo headphone/microphone jack for wired audio.

Fingerprint reader and an IR camera for Windows Hello are common on business-tier builds of this line, letting you skip password entry at login.

Battery, build & more

Built to MIL-STD-810H testing standards, common across HP's ZBook line, for resistance to drops, dust, and temperature swings beyond typical consumer laptops.

Aluminum chassis in a dark, business-neutral finish, consistent across G9, G10, and G11 revisions with only minor cosmetic changes.

Ships with Windows, and often arrives from resellers already wiped and re-licensed. Confirm activation status before you factory reset.

Market positioning: aimed at CAD, engineering, and data-science users rather than general consumers, which keeps demand steady even on older generations.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter. The System Model line shows the full HP product name, and the summary below it lists your processor and installed RAM. For the product number specifically, check the sticker on the underside of the laptop. Our HP model number guide walks through this in more detail if the sticker is worn or missing.
02 How do I tell it apart from a standard HP ZBook Power or EliteBook?
Check msinfo32 for the exact system model name, since Firefly, Power, and EliteBook chassis can look similar from a distance. The Firefly line is HP's thin-and-light workstation, distinguished by its NVIDIA T-series or RTX A-series discrete GPU option and ISV certification, which the EliteBook line does not carry. If the sticker or msinfo32 output says "ZBook Firefly," you have the right model.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a cracked screen, weak battery, or if it won't turn on?
Yes, damaged and non-working units are still accepted, and the condition picker above adjusts the quote for exactly this. Before shipping, sign out of your Microsoft account and remove the device from it, since a locked account can block resale. If BitLocker is active, suspend or decrypt it if you can still access Windows. A device that won't power on can still be sent in as-is, just note the issue accurately when you select condition.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
A discrete GPU configuration, either the NVIDIA T550 or RTX A500, raises value the most, since workstation buyers specifically seek out the graphics-equipped builds. A larger SSD and a newer processor generation also help. Cosmetic condition matters less for this model than for consumer laptops, since business buyers expect some wear, but a functioning keyboard, hinge, and battery all matter. Including the original power adapter helps as well.
05 How do I erase it, remove my accounts, and get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC, and choose to remove everything. Before you start, sign out of and remove the laptop from your Microsoft account under Settings → Accounts, and suspend BitLocker if it's enabled under Control Panel → BitLocker Drive Encryption. Once the reset finishes, the laptop is ready to ship. Shipping is free and insured, and payment goes out after inspection by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check.
