That said it wasn't too hard to grab a HP ZBook Ultra G1a 14, just not the ideal model I had in mind. The hardware is great though!
That particular laptop also seems very heavy.
I'm very happy with the build quality of the G1a though.
Super limits its usability.
However this firmware was only available on HP website for a few days. It has now been retracted, so YMMV.

I've got a 140 W Ugreen charger (X762 - https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Charger-Charging-Foldable-MacB...) and it charges fine at full speed in Windows 11.
It might be your device that is unlucky, maybe contacting support might help.
That said, I'm super close to pulling the trigger on the FW desktop and just installing a second drive for windows.
So right then I asked for a refund worrying I'd been scammed (paying a Chinese company in USD from Germany without seeing VAT was pretty sus already).
Another thing is that apparently the ethernet is seriously broken, like makes the machine hang. Sill unfixed apparently, and also apparently the cooling isn't very good.
Soooo I went back to FD preorder, got it soon after. Expensive, but ehhh... every time I look at it I get a little dopamine hit <3333
It's pricey but I have to say it's the best Linux laptop I've used. I'm a Linux user so for me that's as good as it gets :-).
