HP EliteBook 8 G1i, 16" Laptop, Intel Core Ultra 7, 16GB/512GB, Windows 11 Pro
This 16‑inch premium laptop combines a 12‑core Intel Core Ultra 7 processor with 16 GB of DDR5‑5600 memory, delivering instant responsiveness for demanding multitasking. A 512 GB PCIe NVMe SSD provides rapid file access, while the 400 cd/m² IPS display shows vivid colors across the full sRGB gamut.
Security is built in with a fingerprint sensor, smart‑card reader, and BIOS password protection, so your data stays safe. The AI Boost neural processor accelerates machine‑learning workloads, letting you run AI‑enhanced applications without a separate server.
Connectivity never slows you down. Wi‑Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 keep you linked to high‑speed networks, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports plus HDMI 2.1 let you attach multiple external monitors or fast docking stations. The laptop’s lightweight 1.69 kg chassis and long‑lasting 62 Wh battery ensure you can work all day without hunting for an outlet.
