The HP ZBook 14u G6, is a lightweight mobile workstation introduced in late 2019. It features a 14", up to 64GB of RAM, NVMe storage, 8th-gen Intel Core processors, integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics and optionally a dedicated AMD Pro WX 3200 Mobile.

## Sleep/Suspend

S3 suspend will work out-of-the-box as long as Intel microcode is loaded.

## Graphics

As long as xf86-video-intel and xf86-video-amdgpu are installed, PRIME will work with the default configuration. The GPU will automatically power off completely when not in use.

All video outputs (HDMI, USB-C) are connected directly to the Intel UHD 620 Graphics.

Intel GVT-g is compatible with this laptop.

## Function keys

Pressing and holding the fn key actually makes the function keys emit regular F* keysyms, so it works in a sort of inverted fashion for the top row keys. There is no physical 'Insert' key.

1. The key is visible to `xev` and similar tools
2. The physical key has a symbol on it, which describes its function
3. systemd handles this by default

Pressing the F11 (`XF86RFKill`) also results in:

    kernel: atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf8 on isa0060/serio0).
    kernel: atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e078 <keycode>' to make it known.
    kernel: atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xf8 on isa0060/serio0).
    kernel: atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e078 <keycode>' to make it known.

Pressing the F13 (share screen) results in:

    kernel: atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x6d on isa0060/serio0).
    kernel: atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes 6d <keycode>' to make it known.
    kernel: atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x6d on isa0060/serio0).
    kernel: atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes 6d <keycode>' to make it known.

Pressing the F14 (accept phone call) results in:

    kernel: atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x66 on isa0060/serio0).
    kernel: atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes 66 <keycode>' to make it known.

    kernel: atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes 66 <keycode>' to make it known.

Pressing the F15 (hang up call) results in:

    kernel: atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x65 on isa0060/serio0).
    kernel: atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes 65 <keycode>' to make it known.
    kernel: atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x65 on isa0060/serio0).
    kernel: atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes 65 <keycode>' to make it known.

## Touchpad

The touchpad itself and the lower pair of buttons are visible as the "SYNA3091:00 06CB:82F5 Touchpad"; upper pair of buttons belongs to the "PS/2 Generic Mouse", however. "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" and "SYNA3091:00 06CB:82F5 Mouse" are visible, but do not produce any events.

## Additional hardware

The laptop contains an M.2-2242 B-key slot, designated for the LTE modem. Alternatively, one could install an additional SATA SSD.
