Verdict – excellent creator display
Our HP ZBook 8 G1i with RTX 500 positions itself performance-wise right between the ZBook 8 with integrated graphics and the ZBook Ultra with Radeon 8050S. Its performance is consistently strong, the build quality is high, and the display impresses with an almost unrivalled colour-space coverage.
The fact that the SSD cannot maintain its thermal performance and the latencies are currently quite high is suboptimal for a workstation. HP could also finally finish developing its HP app: Occasionally long startup times, incomplete translations, and questionable design choices are not ideal for the target audience.

Table of Contents
In a recent review, we examined the ZBook 8 with a Core Ultra 255H and integrated graphics. Since a professional workstation is expected to include a dedicated GPU, this review covers the version equipped with an Nvidia RTX 500, 64 GB of RAM, and a Core Ultra 7 265H.
Specifications
Case and connectivity – sturdy silver metal
The high-quality, silver-grey metal chassis feels solid, with hinges that show only a slight amount of play.
A particular highlight is the SmartCard reader, although an SD card reader is missing. A SIM card slot is available as an option.
Webcam
Input devices – HP ZBook with Quiet Keyboard
The grey keys of the HP Premium Quiet Keyboard are well-damped and very quiet. Despite the short to medium key travel, the feedback is excellent, although the arrow keys are half-height.
The touchpad measures approximately 12.5 × 8 cm, offers excellent gliding characteristics, precise input response, and reliable, quiet-clicking buttons with clear feedback.
Display - ZBook 8 G1i 14 with 14 options
We counted no fewer than 14 display options, ranging from 1200p panels with or without touch (300 to 800 nits) to our 1600p version with 120 Hz, 500 nits, and no touch support.
Our unit reached “only” 429 nits, but black level and contrast are impressive, and the panel almost fully covers the sRGB, DisplayP3, and AdobeRGB colour spaces.
Below 75 percent brightness, PWM is used at a frequency of 25 kHz.

The display backlight flickers at 26000 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) . The frequency of 26000 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8169 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
Performance – consistently high ZBook performance
As a workstation, the ZBook 8 G1i targets project managers, business professionals, designers, engineers, and content creators. Its strong hardware, including 64 GB of RAM, a Core Ultra 7 265H and an RTX 500, provides the necessary performance for demanding workloads.
Test conditions
The "Support Assistant", "System Information", "PC Diagnostics Windows", and "HP Device Control" apps could easily have been integrated into a single application.
The "HP App" takes far too long to load (sometimes it does not finish at all), and parts of it are incorrectly or incompletely translated. Under "System control" we find two performance modes, of which we used "High performance" for our tests.
Due to a bug, the battery sometimes does not fully charge, even when the setting in "Battery Manager" is changed to "Minimise battery status management".
Processor
Our 16-core Core Ultra 7 265H shows relatively consistent performance in Cinebench R15, with only a slight drop after the fifth run.
Overall CPU results are very good, although the chip is not significantly faster than the Core Ultra 7 255H in our earlier test configuration. The ZBook Ultra G1a with the Ryzen AI Max PRO 390 still holds a clear lead.
In battery mode, CPU performance drops by around 13 percent.

GPU performance
The Nvidia RTX 500, an entry-level professional GPU, performs slightly above average in the 3DMark tests but cannot come close to the impressive integrated Radeon 8050S in the ZBook Ultra. Lenovo's Yoga Pro 7 14 with the RTX 4050 is also faster.
Gaming is possible with the RTX 500, which is likely based on a cut-down RTX 4050 (roughly 20 to 25 percent faster), though only up to Full HD and at medium settings. Its 4 GB of video memory is no longer entirely up to date for modern games. With DLSS Quality enabled, the frame rate in Baldur's Gate 3 can be increased from around 53 to 75 fps (Full HD). In the long-term Cyberpunk 2077 test, performance remains very consistent.
When running on battery power, GPU performance drops by about 30 percent.

Noise emissions
When idle, the fans are usually off. Under stress or during gaming, fan noise fluctuates between 44 and 46 dB. After a period of load, the fans quickly return to a quiet state. Unfortunately, maximum fan speed is already reached under medium load.

Temperature
In the stress test, the hot spot reaches 43 °C on the underside, near the centre towards the display. The central area of the keyboard also warms up, but both sides remain cooler and the palm rests stay comfortably cool.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 41 °C / 106 F, compared to the average of 38.3 °C / 101 F, ranging from 22.2 to 69.8 °C for the class Workstation.
(±) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 43 °C / 109 F, compared to the average of 41.3 °C / 106 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 28.2 °C / 83 F, compared to the device average of 32 °C / 90 F.
(±) 3: The average temperature for the upper side is 34.3 °C / 94 F, compared to the average of 32 °C / 90 F for the class Workstation.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 29 °C / 84.2 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(±) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 27.9 °C / 82.2 F (-1.1 °C / -2 F).

Power consumption
Idle power consumption is generally low. Under gaming load, it is reasonable, though at medium load the ZBook draws slightly more power than expected. With short peaks of up to 137 W, the 140 W USB-C power adapter handles the demand well, even with its long cables.
