First serious 14-inch workstation laptop thanks to Strix Halo: HP ZBook Ultra G1a review

Name: HP ZBook Ultra G1a A3ZQ0ET
Brand: HP

Strix Halo Part 2.

HP's ZBook Ultra G1a 14 is among the most expensive current 14-inch laptops in the Windows market, but also one of the most interesting ones. With Strix Halo, it takes on the workstation market with a unique concept. In this review, we are taking a look at the WUXGA and Ryzen AI Max Pro 390 version.

Verdict: HP ZBook Ultra is great with the Ryzen AI Max 390

Unique: The HP ZBook Ultra G1a 14 is a mobile workstation laptop unlike any other. It is the first truly great 14-inch workstation, since it offers a powerful yet efficient AMD Strix Halo GPU that packs a lot of performance into a compact chassis. And the HP laptop is great in most other aspects, too.

One weakness of the concept is the soldered RAM - 32 GB are not enough for this powerful iGPU. We would recommend staying away from low-end configurations of the ZBook, the concept only makes sense 64 GB and up. Also, a brighter screen would be nice, as both screen options top out at 400 cd/m².

Pros

+ amazing performance for a 14-inch laptop

+ high-quality design

+ comfortable keyboard

+ great speakers

+ good port selection

+ USB-C on both sides

+ laptop does not get hot

Cons

- 32 GB not enough for Strix Halo

- soldered RAM

- max. 400 cd/m² screen brightness

- no WWAN option

Potential Competitors in Comparison

HP's ZBook Ultra G1a is a special device. It is the first HP ZBook with a 14-inch screen that is a true flagship-type model, and it features a special CPU platform called AMD Ryzen AI Max aka Strix Halo - one of the few laptops on the market with this fascinating chip that combines powerful Zen5 cores with a beefy iGPU and unified memory. We already tested the high-end version of the ZBook Ultra 14. Now, we are taking a look at a lower-end configuration.

Case: HP uses a high-quality metal casing

In general, this unit uses the same chassis as the more expensive model. The ZBook Ultra G1a has a compact Aluminum case with very minimal screen bezels, which feels very robust and premium to the touch. The main difference to the model we already tested: The screen bezel is plastic on our WUXGA model, while the OLED variant has a glass panel in front of the screen.

In terms of the typing quality, HP delivers an excellent experience, as the gray backlight keys offers a very nice typing feel. The key travel is plenty with roughly 1.5 mm and the feeling of the key-presses is firm, yet still soft.

It is slightly surprising that the US manufacturer sticks to a mechanical clickpad in the HP ZBook Ultra G1a 14, as you would expect a haptic solution in such an expensive model. At least it is glass-made and big (12.5 x 8 cm), making for a good mousing experience.

Display: WUXGA screen could be brighter

Medium backlight bleeding (shown enhanced here)

Our review unit of the HP ZBook Ultra G1a 14 contains a matte 14-inch WUXGA IPS (1,920 x 1,200) screen in the 16:10 aspect-ratio, as opposed to the 2.8K (2,880 x 1,800) OLED screen we tested before.

When compared with other workstation and creator type laptops, it becomes apparent that the ZBook Ultra has the most limited screen brightness of the pack, no matter if it is the OLED or IPS version. An average of 379 cd/m² is by no means bad, but certainly far from bright for today's standards.

One advantage of the IPS version of the ZBook: it does not use PWM, different from the OLED model. On the flip side, the OLED screen is miles faster, also aided by the higher refresh rate of up to 120 Hz.

* ... smaller is better

After a calibration, the screen of the HP ZBook Ultra G1a scores a good color accuracy - the profile we created is available above for download for free, as always. As for the color gamut, the screen almost reaches the 100 percent promised sRGB coverage with 97.4 percent. The screen should be usable for basic photo editing.

The screen brightness is not quite enough to fight against the sun, but the screen is in principle usable outside the office, thanks to the matte screen surface.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
25.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 13.3 ms rise
25.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 12 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 59 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (20.5 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
52 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 20.9 ms rise
52 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 31.1 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 88 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (32.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8350 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Performance: Ryzen AI Max Pro 390 blasts away the 14-inch workstation competition

Testing Conditions

The power modes of the HP ZBook Ultra G1a can be set with the Windows settings:

Best battery life: PL1 45 W / PL2 60 W
Balanced: PL1 60 W / PL2 70 W
Best performance: PL1 70 W / PL2 80 W

We used "Best performance" for all our performance benchmarks.

Processor

The AMD Ryzen AI Max Pro 390 is a member of the current AMD Ryzen AI Max lineup, also known under its codename "Strix Halo". This CPU sports twelve Zen5 cores that reach clock-rates of 3.2 to 5 GHz. The typical TDP of this CPU sits at 55 W. As a Pro CPU, it has certain enterprise manageability features important for large corporate customers. For more in-depth comparisons with other processors, refer to our CPU benchmark list.

As expected, the performance ranks below the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 version of the HP ZBook Ultra G1a we tested before. Still, it is more than respectable, as it easily beats older Meteor Lake H models like the Dell Precision 5490 or the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 AMD.

In battery mode, CPU performance is throttled by about 25 percent (19868 points in Cinebench R23 Multicore).

GPU Performance

This ZBook Ultra model uses the lesser AMD Radeon RX 8050S. It has 32 CUs. As an iGPU, the performance is partially dependent on the system memory, as there is no dedicated VRAM. HP allows users to set the amount of VRAM freely in the BIOS - per default, it is set to 8 GB.

Graphics performance of the HP ZBook Ultra G1a 14 is great. It even manages to outperform the old Nvidia RTX 3000 Ada of the Dell Precision 5490 in the 3DMark benchmarks.

Emissions: HP laptop barely gets warm

System Noise

HP keeps the two fans off when the laptop is idling. Under load, the fan noise ramps up quickly. However, on this unit, the fan noise is less pronounced than on the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 model.

We did not detect any coil whine with this HP laptop.
