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.

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.
