HP Elitebook Ultra G1i Review: PC all business

Specifications are not naked But far from luxury. The 14 -inch touch screen has a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels, and the system is operated by the Intel Core Ultra 7 268V. This is a few steps away from the basic processor model, but still step down from the high -end options that you usually find at this price. The 32 GB RAM, but the 512 GB of solid motor feels hard for money, although this may be a recognition that most business users will be severely tended to storage cloud or server instead. Ports acceptable: Three USB-C with USB4 support And one USB-A Port (with the Flogy Cover). You will need one of the USB-C ports to charge it.

Given the specifications mentioned above, I was surprised that the performance was generally on the low side, more walking with the formation of the real entry level than the G1I. None of the criteria that I ran were more impressive than I saw on the slower and cheapest machines that operate the Intel Core 7 Series 2 processors, and many of the degrees that I saw were less than those inspiring levels, albeit only a little. I think the general expenses of wolf safety features give the unit a slight performance, although it is not severe, it may be more clear when placing the laptop under heavy loads.

The battery life is running on the YouTube screen on a completely 14 -hour full screen, which is a decent degree, and it was affected by the completely silent operation of the laptop; I couldn’t get the fan to kick, regardless of the weight of the load I put on the device. Speckers are fine, and the screen looks good enough, but does not blow up my socks. I was appreciating the keyboard on the device, which contains enough travel and response to make the insertion of easy data, with somewhat calm. The touch plate is spacious but less than it is very large.

As with most laptops today, artificial intelligence is the main axis of the EliteBook line, the HP AI’s companion, which is the private company GPT-4O The skin, is pre -installed on the unit. AI Companion claims to allow you to take advantage of the nervous treatment unit on the plane, although it requires an active internet connection to work and it was not faster than any online tools available. You also get the Double AI service here, as the press button on the keyboard still shows a standard Microsoft Copilot interface.

The temporary selling price of $ 1999 makes Elitebook Ultra G1i a better deal, but it is still not measured on the basis of the basic performance Against competing systems. However, it provides a strongest value proposal for the benefits of safety and management, although I am again, I doubt that many of these features have a great benefit outside the environments of large companies.
