Reviews for the HP EliteBook Ultra G1i 14, Ultra 7 268V

85% I Tested the HP EliteBook Ultra G1i. Its Deluxe Design and Features Are Perfect for On-the-Go Execs
Source: CNet
At its sale price of $1,899, the EliteBook Ultra G1i is an excellent value and a great choice for your next work laptop. With a spectacular 14-inch, 2.8K OLED display powered by an Intel Lunar Lake CPU wrapped up in an elegant and compact enclosure, the EliteBook Ultra G1i is befitting of its Ultra label. Our test configuration is harder to recommend at its full price of nearly $3,000, so it’s best to wait for HP’s revolving and sizable discount to land on it if your purchase doesn’t qualify for a volume discount.

HP EliteBook Ultra Review: HP at its best
Source: Mobile Syrup
As I said up top, HP’s latest laptops are quite impressive. I’ve reviewed several HP laptops over the year, but the OmniBook and EliteBook from the last few months are by far some of the best I’ve seen from the company. The design and build quality are excellent, the performance is solid. Coupled with the excellent keyboard, there’s a ton that’s great about this laptop. The most significant issue I had with the EliteBook was the battery life, though it can be improved by adjusting some settings. Still, it’d be nice if HP included a larger cell. Beyond that, it’d be nice to have a better webcam, especially in a work-focused laptop that will likely see a lot of use for virtual meetings. All this said, HP’s hardware is in a great spot, and I can’t wait to see where the company goes next. It has an excellent foundation to work from.

72% HP EliteBook Ultra G1i review: Luxury AI laptop at a cost
Source: PC World
The HP EliteBook Ultra G1i is a nice laptop: solid build quality, beautiful OLED screen, reasonable all-around Lunar Lake performance, and serious battery life. That’s without even considering the AI features and if I have to evaluate a laptop based on its AI features, this is one of the better packages I’ve seen so far. HP definitely made a strong effort here. Still, this is just such an expensive machine. At an MSRP of nearly $2,500, you could choose from so many other Lunar Lake-powered PCs. Consider the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro, for example. It’s substantially cheaper and has much longer battery life. Furthermore, if you really are looking for an AI workstation, this machine isn’t it.

96% HP EliteBook Ultra G1i 14 review: The EliteBook for Elite business users
Source: Techaeris
Overall, I have always loved the previous HP line that preceded the EliteBook Ultra, the Dragonfly line. That lineup of HP business machines was always fantastic, and the company has done that heritage proud with the EliteBook that has replaced it. The EliteBook Ultra G1i 14 packs in a ton of premium hardware features, premium security features, premium design features, and a slew of collaboration features that are focused on the business user. All of this combined makes for a solid laptop that’s sure to endure what a prosumer will put this thing through. I have zero issue recommending the EliteBook Ultra G1i 14 to any prosumer in the market for an ultraportable 14″ business laptop. It has all the chops you need and more.

70% This slim, stylish business laptop won me over with its vivid display and unmatched keyboard, but I have two key concerns
Source: Laptop Mag
The HP EliteBook Ultra G1i AI features a great display, an impressively thin and light design, and a fantastic keyboard and touchpad, but its middling performance and battery life hold it back from being a stand-out business laptop. I enjoyed using the EliteBook, but the price makes it difficult to recommend when there are other laptops at this price or less that deliver better battery life and performance, like the Asus ExpertBook P5 and the MacBook Pro M4. That’s especially true considering the EliteBook includes only 512GB of storage, which is low for a $2,000 laptop. The EliteBook Ultra G1i AI isn’t a bad buy, it’s just not the best value for your money. If you can find it on sale, it could be a good pick for some people, especially if display quality is a top priority for you. Otherwise, many business users might get better value from the Asus ExpertBook P5 or one of the best business laptops.

Intel Arc 140V: A pretty fast integrated graphics adapter that higher-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 8; it can drive three SUHD 4320p monitors simultaneously via HDMI 2.1, eDP 1.5 and DP 2.1. With the 140V, all 2023 and 2024 games are playable at 1080p on low graphics settings.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

Core Ultra 7 268V: A higher-end Lunar Lake family processor. It sports 4 new Skymont E-cores and 4 new Lion Cove P-cores running at up to 3.7 GHz and 5.0 GHz respectively, along with the new Arc 140V iGPU and 32 GB of on-package LPDDR5x-8533 RAM. It should be about as fast as the Core Ultra 7 165U and Core i7-1360P in multi-threaded workloads and it eats up to 37 W when under short-term workloads.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

14.00″:

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
